    Yeah, the motor I was looking at has PAS and throttle, I guess Lunacycles does something to make their magic pie motors 1500w instead of 1000w , as goldenmotors.ca says theirs is only 1000w but it seems to be the same motor.

    Are you saying the golden pie hub motor is a bad motor/kit? And as far as the bike, it looks like I'll have to go with plan B , which is order the motor/battery , then go up to the bike shop and find a frame that fits the battery, and myself, and find a similar one with disc brakes or install...

    Thx, those look nice, how hard would adding a front disc brake be? as coaster brakes alone might not be enough

    You got to remember, 30mph for a skinnyerson prob 22-23 mph for me. Nice bike ,but those are almost $3000 :| I'm just worried If i bought a 750w id be wishing I'd gone bigger the whole time, and they cost the same. When I priced the industrial cargo bike someone posted here, it was...

    So I found this Fixie frame - steel framed - only real problem is the brakes but oh well, what do you guys think? If not, I could not find a bike with disc brakes with a strong frame for under $500 . Perhaps what I am having problems with is this, what is more important, disc brakes or...

    Well, I don't see how I'd need bluetooth if I have the LCD screen (educate me if I am wrong) but the v5 should be the same motor just different colors with the bluetooth connectivity. Figured I'd save a few bucks :) I'm going to the bike store right now to ask em

    My donor bike was actually way to big. And yes i was hoping to keep it under $1300ish - that 1500w goldenpie with big battery was right at $1000 after shipping.

    Wife said I cant put the kids on the bike, oh well scrap that. So my local shop has a single speed steel framed bike - would I have any problems with a single speed, or should I get an adjustable speed. Looking pretty closely that the http://lunacycle.com - found it odd that the golden...

    well I cant find any weight limits, but I'd be shocked if the bike shop sold a 400+ lb guy a 250lb limited bike. Okay - so If i were going to buy a bike - any leads on where to find one thats sturdy and won't break the bank? I'd have to assume mongoose at walmart is a nono.
