They are citing the batteries as the problem. Assist bikes may be the best application for battery powered transportation since the watt hour requirements are...
what I use besides the Air Horn is better, cheaper and more annoying. Radio Shack or whatever name they call themselves this week sell them for $6.95. It is a...
Exactly Lee.. I've said it over and over again.. E cars won't be a reality with todays batteries as long the auto companies try to make them capable of...
I couldn't agree more andrsnj1. In the case of the Volt, however, since a gasoline engine is factored into the mix, they have the option of controlling how...
I rally against all bailouts. They've proven to be nothing more than an utter failure at the taxpayer's expense. The perpetrators behind them as well as the...
www.extraenergy.org tested the Kalkhoff Agattu XXL Pedelec C and Agattu Pedelec C during 2009. They both received very good ratings. The price is 1899 Euro....
Hi Folks, Well, the time has come, and RunAbout cycles closes it's doors. It's been a long run, it's been real, and it's been fun, not sure though if it was...
Damned sorry to hear about this Josh. One of my dreams is to win lotto and design, sell, and repair ebikes in a nice shop that I bought outright and never have...
So what is the successful ebike business model? Is there one? The lycras will regularly upgrade their bikes ever couple of years despite the fact that their...

No No No What we need are e-trikes that are designed for the specific (stress specific) needs of seniors, the physically challenged and those on fixed and ...
Consider this format for your next ebike race. Instead of allowing watt hours per mile, which would vary depending upon which class you were in, or in other...

You have just described last year's race. The e-Power Challenge was divided into five classifications as is the Human Power Challenge. Total wattage available...
I'm not awake yet (no 1st coffee) but when people complain that Bents or E-Bents are too expensive the reply is pretty well always the high cost is due to so...
Not quite. Notice that all the races are specifying watt hours per mile and each race has a different allowance. I am suggesting that every race has the same...
There is another self regulating feature of this format. It wouldn't be necessary for anyone to get it perfect, everyone could just ride as hard as their bike...

Hi Josh, Sorry to hear of your dilemma. You just happen to be ahead of the curve in your area of expertise(independent e bike manufacturing), whereas the money...
If we followed that race model we would have had only the Opti bike racing. Josh's trikes and LWB wouldn't have raced. Bill B wouldn't have raced his LWB and I...
