In west MAUI near Honokowai ,Maui I saw a ton of EBIKES for rent on lower honoapiilani road , all different shapes and sizes

When I lived in Maui from 91-02 I spent a great deal of that time with only a bicycle as transportation. Since I worked at the Hyatt I could bike there from where I lived.

Two small melons? hmmm me thinks a 'different kind' of fruit 😁 On a side note we used to eat watermelon by our pool and spit out the seeds in the grass.The next year we had watermelons growing next to the pool.

What about this ? Maybe a little heavy though , but it's cheap and pretty well priced. It's 500 watts though , you maybe able to slip by with it. It's only $1200 US I don't know how aggressive your police are there. You could slap a 250watt sticker on it. If anything you at least have an...

Here are the two front hub styles , with smaller 14in tires/rim https://savabicycles.com/product/pedelec-intelligent-electric-bicycle-250w-brushless-motor/ https://savabicycles.com/product/sava-electric-folding-bike/

"thick" was referring to the almost hilariously thick and wide tires they put on mass produced Chinese rebranded e bikes. You often see many ebikes that have suspiciously similar frames with different vendor names on them. anyways I think I getting a bit off-topic there ,I apologize. It...

It will be interesting to see what the new owner of my bike installs. Understood thank you for your knowledge sir. Kind regards.

I simply slow to a near stop , then roll by them. My bike has so much torque and speed , I'm quickly back to fast-n-furious. Never used a bell , never needed it , the sound of my freewill as I approach nearly everyone turns around. The people with headphones tend to stick to their lane they...

I think a mid-drive with a IGH , 3 geared hub and about 500-750 watts should do the trick. And possibly a thumb throttle. The bike would have to weigh in at a maximum of 40lbs. Pedal assist set to levels 1-3. 3 inch tires with universal tread and step through design I don't like twist...

Gotta admit that amazon ebike looks so cringe. I want to nuke it from Orbit. It's even worse when you research the Abiotic Oil Theory.

This carbon fiber ebike has 250watt ,weighs 17kg and cost about $3500-3700 US rear hub version https://savabicycles.com/product/sava-e6-electric-bike/ mid-drive version 15kg https://savabicycles.com/product/folding-smart-electric-bike-mini-20-inch-carbon-folding-bicycle/

Most of the European model ebikes are pretty well refined ebikes , they have such strict policies that they've gotten quite good at dialing a natural bike feel. Brands like specialized using the Bosch motors should be a starting point.

I concur that hub drives do appear to be more naturally zippy. But with so many variables at play the answer could go either way. Bike weight , wattage , rider skill , controllers , gearing , etc. I've learned a lot from the forum and have started to look at hub drives in a more positive light...

Yeah they're fun ,don't get me wrong , it's just they slip through this loophole here in the States where they 'have bike pedals and can be pedaled" they classify as bikes. So douchbag kids zip with them on bike trails. Do I want one? Yes I do , but I live in the mountains with long stretches of...

It ran fine for me and braked quite well. In fact 600+ miles on the equipped brakes. I actually ran the bike on a small race track here in Asheville that looks like a small version of Daytona speedway with high banks. It was a closed track. I ran the bike at full speed with no issues. Was it...

Everyone who calls these bicycles. Imagine 'zipping' by kids on bike paths and elderly with dogs on bike trails. 🙄🙄 🙄🙄

No I cut the throttle just a second right before I shift. Sort of like a reverse clutch. I get to top speed in each gear then shift. Kind of like a car where you hit redline then shift , I don't skip gears. I concur you are a legend of cycling. I wasn't born in 1969 and raced bikes all my life.

Bugatti !! Oh man you got me. 🤣 There was one (Hummingbird) on EBAY US without a motor for $3500 us/ $3000 gbp , I was gonna snag it but the owner went out of town and pulled the ad. I contacted him and when he gets back he's gonna contact me. It's the belt drive version with the IGH hub. I...

They (Hummingbird) claim 60km/37mi range with the battery and it's 16lbs/7kg lighter than the GoCycle. That's quite a weight difference. *23lbs/11kg hummingbird vs *39lbs/18kg gocycle. GoCycle looks nice too though and that's within the weight requested by the OP. *note , I rounded up...
