That looks like fun but if you add banks of snow on both sides of the road, at times turning a 2 lane road into a single lane road, combined with marginally...
A small day with 10 ft faces on the sets. We call it 4 to 5 ft surf. This was my 50th Ebike trip of 2011. 4:30 PM, Feb 1st , air temp 80*, water temp 74*....
Some good widgets can economically document Ebike history otherwise missed in the evolution of the ebike. Even though my ebike hasn't had the need to evolve...
If not this year at some point there will be more than one ebike in Hawaii that works. This is the 4 year old bill that is accompanied by the Federal...
I think that you should try to eliminate any reference to speed. Speed is more dependent upon aerodynamics and design than power. I can easily exceed 25 mph...
A couple more points about the proposed bill. 55 pounds is not enough weight and a gasoline engine is also a good way to power an assisted bicycle. I have...
Fairly good review except most of the guys using small efficient high rpm motors do not realize any of the efficiency losses from the motor to the wheel and...
55 lbs is the max bike weight to be carried on a bus, not anything to do with the weight limit of a ebike otherwise. If people wanted a gas moped instead of a...
The law makers only use bills as a reference. It is up to them to decide what goes or not. It is obvious that in some places the law makers see ebikes as...
A 50cc Honda can get about 100 mpg, I get 3.5 times that without trying hard. There is no way that I can prove that to you unless you come to CT and see first...
A well-designed reduction system will only have small losses, around 2 or 3% at most, and all brushless motors will be at their most efficient when running at...
In your dreams. The best 10 to 1 reduction gearboxes you can buy for about $1000. each are 90 to 95% efficient and the faster they spin over there max rated...
Right! The lighter version that needs more reduction is better because assisted bikes aren't always using motor power, they sometimes use just pedal power. ...
Try to add up the total weight of a small motor and all of the multi reduction parts required for a through the derailer gears reduction system. Compare the...
Please point out where this 5 pound motor is heavier than your cyclone/multi reduction system and where all the heat is when doing this ride on 180 watt hours...
No need to get offensive, not only have I "done the math" as you suggest, but I've built and tested several drives to see if reality matched the manufacturers...
Show us some end results on a actual ride video of ten miles. Who has a video of a Ebike with a RC motor and reduction system climbing a constant 15% grade or...
Randi, I'm bored to death with your constant harping on about riding up a bloody volcano years ago, you've repeated it ad nauseum on just about every ebike...
Well.. i have a 2 stage RC bike, on top of that it pulls thru a NuVinci cvt hub, it is not as efficient as my hub motor bikes but it works, and it works well,...
Jeri, a stunt? LOL Please explain. Just like the electric Pikes Peak hill climbs? You are the one who brought it up so have at it. No one bothers to use any RC...
They may simply work for you but for a legal ebike capable of a long range in any terrain conditions on minimal batteries RC motor systems suck. They also have...
It's all a matter of personal taste, yes my RC bike is very loud, but it's a nice loud, it sounds like a jet turbine and i personally like it very much.. it's...
Your volcano bike would not last very long out here in salt covered snow banks where my chainless BMX just keeps on ticking as a completely sealed machine......
