    Thank you your reply. I thought the M1 was a good deal, but i am slightly concerned about the acceleration. Here is my theory. if you want to accelerate quickly on a pedelec, is it possible to start spinning your legs fast enough to compensate for not having a throttle? I agree that the extra...

    Cost anywhere under 12k. top speed 30 or above. I'll be going on fairly bumpy trails. 20 miles is enough. Hills would be 10% in general, 15% max I would ever experience. Commute isn't a big deal, I just wear a backpack.

    I'm not even considering HPC. There have been so many random specs advertised that I'm quite sure nobody knows exactly what they are getting

    full suspension is very important to me. Ok so I've talked about this a lot with mike: Looking at power and acceleration. Would you choose the opti bike R8, stealth fighter, or spitzing M1. The M1 has loads of torque (over 100nm), and a top speed around 45, but takes 7 seconds to hit 30 mph. The...

    So point madethat 7 seconds must be pretty fast

    Should I try contacting them again? If it's this difficult to contact a company customer service in the us must be aweful. same with haibike.

    I am going to contact both stealth and Spritzing about heir bikes. I'm quite unimpressed since I've sent focus an email a little over a week ago asking if they use a throttle or pedelec, still no reply.

    I would go with the M1. I am quite curious about how they are getting their torque and top speed. also, do you think 7 seconds is a long time to get to 30? I timed it and it seemed long, but maybe it would feel faster because hold your concentration in the road

    I've lo i have looked a lot at Polaris. it's a descent alternate.

    Torque

    About the M1. If you started in the lowest possible gear, the torque sensor might allow the bike to get a bit of an acceleration. Also, another way to get that much torque and speed would be through a transmition. not sure if it has one or just the sprockets

    Torque

    Hi! May I ask you to help me with a little math? I want to figure out if the stealth fighter has enough power to propel me up roughly a 12% grade. I weight 120 pounds. How could I figure that out?

    Thank your for all your help. All the spread sheets and graphs have been very helpful. I am looking forward to talking to you again in the future on other threads. If you get a grace one15 feel free to comment in this thread since I'll get an email. thanks again!

    It does meet my criteria, but a pedelec that goes 28mph makes me nervous. if it had a throttle at 28, that would be better.

    Doesn't seem to be anything special. KTM really seems to be focusing all their attention to the motorcycle industry

    I love KTM so much! I believe they are currently working on an e bike, but nothing has been released yet (as far as I know). I'm worried that once these electric bike pioneers find the right market, all the large bike companies are going to charge into the market and create a crazy amount of...

    stealth should have a more elegant model that they can sell which is still powerful

    yes. they are very unlike apple. the design doesn't please all, and I can't blame you for that!!

    I am bias to acceleration and power. but I'm also bias to German automotive manufacturing. I had a Mercedes ml350 for about 3 months as a loaner car. it was so precise.
