In this video the founder, Strom Sondors claims a range of 20 to 25 miles. http://techcrunch.com/2015/02/01/the-storm-ebike-is-a-499-entry-level-electric-bike/?fb_comment_id=fbc_808417619194652_808646202505127_808646202505127#ToPCdu:tC2 Every eBike company I've seen makes optimistic claims...

George, I found out about the Storm on face book, about 6 days before the launch began. The response it's gotten is phenomenal, especially for an eBike. This will probably go down in history as the most successful launch of an eBike company ever. By the time the launch is over they'll probably...

They've now left the goal way behind with over $95,000 raised so far. This looks like one of the most successful launches ever.

I've been studying the information on the link provided in the email they sent me. Everything looks pretty good to me. 36v, 10 ah lithium battery. 350w motor. Shipping is promised to be less than $194, depending on how many units they sell. Their goal is to raise $75000, and right now after...

EddieJ, I like the first picture best. That serves to prove my point that you can get a good picture of any bike, it just depends on the camera angle, and composition. But I still don't like riding in mud lol.

There's a guy in my neighborhood that has a couple of Prodeco's very similar to yours George. He's very happy with them.

Joe, I'm sure that's not true. Any bike from the right angle, and composition will look good. It's a fun game trying to find it. You just have to use your imagination, and it helps to take a lot of pics. Most will look completely pedestrian until that one pic pops, and you know it's the one. I...

I would be easy enough to change the handle bars, and seat on a Carbon, and wala, instant commuter bike. It already comes with suspension forks.

I notice the face book page says the price is an introductory price offered to people that sign up for notification when it comes out. That kind of implies the actual price may be higher after it goes on sale.

I signed up on their face book page. It says they'll send me an email when they launch in 4 days. For $500 I'd buy one of these. I'll figure out some way to stuff it in my garage.

They're really pushing this bike on face book. If it really comes out for anything near $500 I might buy one for my wife to ride.

I made this ride on Sunday. I was just joy riding so I wasn't going very fast. The top speed was racing down the biggest hill in Dallas on the way home. Besides that I rarely got up to 20 mph. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Prices right now are based on quantity, and the fact that we're all early adopters. In time price will come down, and performance will improve. I think there's a lot of room to improve laws concerning electric bicycles. A little higher top speed would be the first place to make changes, but for...

The electric bicycle law in Utah is badly written, same as a lot of states so don't feel like the Lone Ranger lol. Laws are very specific so you have to read them closely, and the more conflicts the better. Looks like the law doesn't include pedlec. If your bike is pedlec this would be the...

I think there's plenty of room to lower the price of eBicycles once the volume picks up, so they'll always have the ability to enjoy a price advantage over electric motorcycles. Plus bicycles have greater versatility in the city. I wouldn't go back to motorcycles even if the price was the same...

George, not trying to argue, but are you sure about that. I'm sure that's what you've been told, but according to this, electric assist bicycles are considered bicycles in Utah state law. Sounds to me like another case of the BLM trampling peoples rights. 41-6a-102. Definitions. (4) (a)...

This is what I did yesterday. I toured downtown Dallas, and Oak Cliff. You can't stop an eBike. I rode the streets, sidewalks, and bike trails. One observation I'd like to make is it's mainly in the burbs is where you find the turd bags that honk, crowd you, and pass close to your handle bars...
