@Joe EE Could you tag me in that post I would like to see it, I am still new at the whole phone computer thing, but I'm learning how to use them pretty well.

That is a heck of bike collection. But I am afraid in the near future they will pass a law you have to have a drivers licesens for bikes. For now there fun and get excise also.

wondering what type of homemade electric bike you built? And the cost. People paying 5 to $10,000 on a bicycle just hurts my brain thinking about it. I myself have blinkers brake lights parking light headlight side baskets and speedomeator. 750 W rear wheel hub and a 20 amp hour 48 volt li-po...

@Ravi Kempaiah , you are awesome!

I have Sean a few post where its putting up codes, and making the bike act stupid also

Well, I can not argue that point.

Reading up on a lot of the laws that are now required in 2017 and newer buy Factory it has to state whether it's a Class 1 2 or 3. However I cannot find anything on the law stating that you have to have any information on the bicycle if you build the ebike yourself. Now as I have said many times...

Not 100% sure what you are saying, I am still new to this. But the bike is 750w but can be switched to a 1000w system, @750 it will run 18 to 20, but I'm hoping this is enough to get me the the big hills out here. If not I will have to switch back to 1000w. But like I said I mostly run about...

@JRA. Is this better?

My whole thing is is I built my bike the law states that you have to have a sticker that explains the class miles per hour and all of that if you purchase it. But so they don't screw with me is why I was wanting to have them put on mine even though it's home built

Holy. Cow, that's pretty good

Thanks for the heads up. And i guess I will educate the cop, at least im in no hurry and go slow in my case. Thanks again @J.R.

I will double check though......but at 15 mph I don't think they will bother me, and im old so that may help to.

Yep @J.R. you are correct. But this it was i was given by a local cop.

Ill have another made, by law we can ride 30mph but I keep it around 15. Thanls

Best thing to do is to call the the local police det. In the area and ask them. Just to be sure.

All good points except for I would come to a complete stop at a stop sign not slow down for one. Bicycles are to follow the same law as a motor vehicle therefore you have to come to a complete stop if a cop sees you you will get a ticket for that. I also ride at 15mph the bike will do 33.2 but I...

case in point @Bruce Arnold I built my bike is 1000w or is it 750w.......just to be safe its a 730w hehe

Crazy cool set up! I built mine with a 26" MTB it will hit 53kmh on motor alone but it is a 1000w hub motor...but to be legal in the state it cannot be rated higher than 750 watts. So mine is 750 watts cough cough. Enjoy the ride, nice looking bike.

Good thinking! For me this is just a temporary thing until I can get a stable built so I can keep my horse and buggy. However I believe it's entertaining enough to keep it around in use going to town once in awhile. Best of luck on your choice read reviews make sure they have excellent customer...
