An ebike that can't change gears on the motor drive, like a hub motor bike, will always be a compromise between hill climbing and high speed and will normally...
... Another implication of relatively low top speed is that the bike reaches its efficient operating range quickly and at a level where the pedals can...
Oh kick back and let the guy have his moment already andrsnj1! Everybody knows of your obsession to beat all lycras on the planet, but you can still let others...
always felt a bit left out never having challenged any Lycras to a race so 2 days ago I saw a small Herd of them and I rode after the pack to ask if I could...

OK, here's the thing. It's not so much that I want to beat the lycras as much as I want to get a little respect from them. Much better to be the object of...
... You won't earn any respect by using a motor to keep up with them! (Not from them, anyway. We respect and recognize your accomplishments here, because we...
I agree with Chalo on this point. I also think that andrsnj1 may have mis-spoken a tad? I think he's about garnering respect for power-assist bikes in general,...
Are any members using recumbents who have back disabilities? I am considering getting one and adding power assist using a small engine, as I think it is...
check with your local government before adding a gasoline powered motor to a bike/trike as you might end up being classed as a Motorcycle or NEV. Peddle?.....I...
... I think that displays a failure of imagination. I mean, more complexity equals more things to go wrong that you will later get paid to fix, right? But it...
Hi, Long time lurker here.I use a recumbent as my primary electric bike due to 4 bulging discs in the lumbar region and two in my neck. In my case I find...
got a phone call from one who after seeing a pic I sent changed his mind and is coming on Thursday. His comment was that the Bent is set up very much like a...
... I can understand that perspective on it, but I don't think an e-bike must be fast to be worthwhile. I use the moving sidewalk at the airport even though I...
Thanks for the advice and sorry for the mistake, I sounded like a wrong kind of pusher. I was thinking using a Honda GX31, mainly due to the weight issues I...
Just a note to let you know of a new e-bike blog you may want to visit. Anyone interested in the wide variety of topics discussed is invited to add their...
I have to somewhat agree with you there Chalo, That shows a serious lack of business skills too in one way. I'm a gunsmith (retired more or less - but maybe...
surprised me too given these guys are out of a job and using Craig's List to advertise their services and then turn down a job. One only 9 minutes away by...
Thanks for the back up Robbie. It's ok for most of us to have ebikes that can't outperform the lycras but there has to be others of us who can set the bar high...

Yes but what you are not seeing is that to operate such a motor-assisted bicycle you need a M1 Drivers License, Driving Tests, Graduated Licensing (no driving...
