And you can't get an ebike without it traveling through the Taiwan Strait. 88% of all large container ships travel through the Strait.
Buckle up buttercup, supply lines are still a problem and not getting better with the tension between ROC and PRC.

Oh, wait, I was wrong, correction, they do have Chinese food in Taiwan because it is China! It just has some political autonomy. I am working on a Chinese, 'Made in Taiwan' bike now. It is a '98 Zap. One of the first mass produced eBikes. It is currently getting a torque sensor mid-drive. The owner wants the patina preserved.

Of course. United States is China, too, as you can get the Chinese food there as well. I like that logic.
The real fact is that the Chinese Nationalist army of the General Chiang Kai-Shek was losing the war against the Chinese Red Army. The Nationalist army found the refuge in the island of Taiwan and established the R.O.C, Taiwan there.. The Communist China would like to lay its hands on Taiwan, and fortunately it has not happened yet. Uma: Are you telling me you do not know the basic world facts?!

@PedalUma: You seem to have mismatched Taiwan with Hongkong. Hongkong was a British colony for 100 years. Unfortunately, the British managed to sign a treaty, in which they promised to return the colony to China. And that has really happened. Hongkong is now part of the People's Republic of China, with some political autonomy. Taiwan is in "cold war" with China.

@raiderrich, do you have a fish story to tell. Flipped polarity would be fun. What if someone did that in the EU? Pedaling backwards to reach the limit?

Saw an Onyx with the cranks set up this way this morning. Thumbs up to the owner for using a DOT helmet and having moped plates on it.

First thought, safe rider. Then I saw this:
Bare wire and looks like some scorching in the area.

at least it is registered as a motor cycle because that is what it is.
Not all moped style bikes are like this one that does 50mph and has useless pedals.

So what? This whole video and discussion means nothing, and sounds like it was started by either an overpriced ebike dealer or by someone who overpaid for their own bike. I ride my Ecotric 1000 watt ebike in quiet comfort over 100 miles every week and have for the last 2 years. No problems No flats or breakdowns. I paid $1,300 for it. Is my battery hidden to fool the roadies. No. I could care less. I see many others on these lower cost models and they love them. Don't get fooled by the hype from slick dealers. Save a bunch, buy online, and put it together yourself. It's simple. Buy puncture resistant tires, a better seat, and bam, you just saved thousands!
Yes they can. You can use the 5 power assist modes and 7 gears to get as much or as little exercise as you want. I use more leg than battery on the flatlands and use a little more battery for the hills. It's your choice. With 1000 watts I can up any steep street with assist. I weigh 250. Ignore style go for power. If you have steep streets go for max wattage.
