You are welcome! I am in agreement with DHS. You are going to need the 350 watt version of the SMART. I just wish the European laws were less restrictive when it comes to ebikes. I believe a 500 watt motor is what is needed by most of us. It is the sweet spot.

We need to get a better fix on this fire thing. This is the third fire that I know of. Lots of conjecture, where are the empirically based do's and don'ts of lithium batteries? Experimentation with proper controls needs to be implemented. Like now! I'm afraid I can't even charge my battery up...

How do you go pee?

I noticed this in my LBS (The Bikers Edge in Peoria, AZ) and took a pic of this four wheeled bike.

I was visiting "The Bikers Edge" my local bike shop. I was talking to the owner who said that he has been selling a lot of gasoline kits for bikes. He pointed to one bike he has been setting up and I had to take a pic and share it with you. This is a Honda 4 Stroke 50cc engine. Does 20 to 22...

Is $1100 too much for a 250 watt motor with all the electronics internalized? See here: http://www.cnet.com/videos/flykly-smart-wheel/ and (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

I've been thinking about battery sizes for a bit. It seems to me that what we really need is a modular design with the ability to stack up the modules to equal the task at hand. Taking a short trip? I think one 5 AH module would be just fine. A longer trip? Stack them up. Why should we have to...

The European rules generally seem to make a lot of sense to me, except for the crippling 250 watt nonsense.

What make of bike is this?

Beautiful pics, I saved the top one.

Chinese search engine Baidu has a teaser site displaying a very cool looking ebike. When and where it'll become a purchasable item is left for you to guess. Click on the arrow to get the video.

Again it looks as though a bad charger is at fault: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/it-just-went-boof-e-bike-batteries-can-cause-fires-toronto-man-warns-1.2865471 This guy bought a new e-scooter, and evidently used an old charger. The bike didn't come with a new charger evidently, which...

Take a look at endless-sphere.

I bookmarked his site. I've been thinking about that 750 watt Bafang. Looks like good choice. How is the acceleration? Can you keep up with traffic when the light turns green?

A couple of weeks ago I was being followed by a gasoline powered bike. I have been seeing more of these than I have of ebikes. A noisy and smoky option for sure, but since you can get a kit for a couple of hundred dollars, why not buy one of these instead of an ebike?

Sort of a smash up between an scooter and a bike.

Because of your hard work.

I wouldn't hesitate to take a loan out to get the bike that I really wanted. These bikes are just a lot of fun and worth every cent.
