I learned a great deal by helping you. The exercise helped me better understand my own needs. I need a different bike, which I describe in this post, entitled "How to get the Highest Performance from 50 pounds of Electric Bike".

Since you recommend Monostrano in my home town of Redwood City, I will certainly not purchase from them. You are an awful promoter of business. Please recommend more businesses for me to avoid. Guilt by association.

I want to know the best article @Brambor has written on EBR.

still waiting for your response

The same tactic can be found in this posting. I ask for help, but get a bunch of grief: http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/best-tradeoff-between-electric-bicycle-and-battery-weight-under-70-pounds.1728/#post-18825

I want to get rid of my gas car. My friend tried an eBike, but it did not work well in the hills. He bought a $4000 Honda FSX150 scooter instead. A 45mph, 10kW gas motor that gets 100+ mpg. The trips over 10 miles were cumbersome on eBike due to traffic. I feel I need a 35mph eMotorBike. I do...

The article is informative. When I visit (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) , I only find battery and motor. The motorcycle is conspiciously missing. I believe Polaris discontinued it. What a shame. Jay Leno loves Polaris other motorcycle, Indian.

The previous post applies to you @Brambor as well as @stevenass

Why don't you ask Kyle, the thread originator, if my posts were helpful or a waste of time? Since Kyle started the thread, should he be the judge, an not you? He is a new member. Are you not concerned that he might think people hang out here for their own self-serving social status? How many of...

Some people like to carry a pump to adjust PSI. Have you ever tried Kings Mountain Road? That is a lot of fun, but I have found bicycles and motorcycles wrapped around redwood trees on K.M. Trail. Adusting PSI on roads like that can give you more traction in the hairy sections.

Do you know why they kept Brammo motor and battery, but discontinued the motorcycle?

Cameron, Thank you. Are you familiar with Li-ion battery chemistry? I have just a basic knowledge. Evidently, LFP is better for higher power, e.g., used by Mercedes and Cessna Planes. NMC has less power, but greater capacity, e.g., Tesla, BMW and other EVs. Can you recommend LFP, NMC or another...

You are distorting reality. He repeatly told me to stay away from mountain lions, without asking about my background or the context. The response had absolutely nothing to do with bikes -- of any kind. You know me no better than he does. Relax. Use your energy wisely. Go for a ride on all of...

Please provide the one link to your single best piece of work, the one that you are most proud of.

Exactly! I run two miles to the store. I carry 35 pounds of groceries back up an 18% grade every week. I do this marine-like workout because I feel great -- afterwards. Until my recent encounter with a mountain lion, the hike through the park to the store just made my day. Now I have serious...

That's funny. I did pedal an old 30 pound bike for 10 years until it stopped working. I live in California. You live somewhere on the east coast. Do you know me? How can make such presumptions? Why do you flame me in red colors? Will new visitors think this is hostile territory ? Most...

Yes, I now lost my 18% grade due to a mountain lion encounter in my local park. We dug up tracks from the mud, which I posted. The cougar "screech-growled" at us twice. So, I lost two of my only 3 roads. I am down to one 35mph road that lacks a bike lane.

George, Very thoughtful content. Defining the limit is key. In terms of weight, my preference is 50 pounds. I want to encourage the development of a 30-20, or 30 pound bicycle with a 20 pound battery. The M1 Spitzing comes closest at 58 pounds and 40+ mph top-speed. The wheel size should be at...

An approach to optimize the same electric bicycle for both power and range is explained. You can apply this technique to any bike. A "battery tank" is the ideal storage compartment. Battery packs of different capacity and NMC chemical ratios optimize the tradeoff between speed and range to...

M1 needs a USA distributor like Curry Tech., the usa Haibike distributor. M1 competes directly with USA based Felt Bicycles. Competing with Felt is very unattractive, because Felt specializes in carbon. Felt is a huge, International company with several Bosch eBikes.
