    steel ebike frames

    Sorry, the Stealth Fighter weighs 74 pounds the M1 Spitzing 48 pounds. The weight of motor and battery also increases with frame weight. The M1 does 45mph, a motorcycle. I believe the SF only does 35mph.

    Any wireless controllers?

    The reason I ask is this voice-controlled, rear-view camera helmet. I would like to send wireless voice commands to the controller, as in cars or cell phones. The command I most want to issue is back-off-jack by flashing rear lights . Falco has ANT+.

    USA is backwater. EBikes are leased in Germany!

    Yes, you are on the right path. You have to dig much deeper. I put links and more detailed info in this post. The "value proposition" is high-ticket, long-term, high value. BMZ manufactures industrial grade airplane quality. The LFP battery chemistry is least expensive, longest-lasting...

    USA is backwater. EBikes are leased in Germany!

    What a co-incidence! We were thinking the exact same thing at the same time. I was trying to understand how M1 Spitzing is priced at $9000. It seems Germans look at vehicles as long-term investments, like ten year warrantied products. America is the land of cheap, disposable products, more...

    I was trying to understand how M1 Spitzing is priced at $9000. It seems Germans look at vehicles as long-term investments, like ten year warrantied products. America is the land of cheap, disposable products, more convenient, less intelligence. If I got the details straight, the battery has a...

    USA is backwater. EBikes are leased in Germany!

    I was shocked! I think leasing is a great idea because the bike tech becomes obsolete so fast. If you can lease in the USA, it is the world's biggest secret. I have never seen it prominently advertised.

    I added some more battery info, as I learned. This is the battery chemistry most appropriate for your purpose. Higher discharge rates needed for acceleration, lower weight and longer life makes this battery type ideal for bicycles and electric cars. With the efficient power to weight ratios...

    Mo The battery chemistry is LFP, not li-cobalt The battery comes from BMZ with a 10 year warranty. Charges 25x faster than other Li-ion batteries. Delivers highest power of all Li-ion batteries, but trade-off is less dense. Used by Mercedes.

    You are quick study, my friend. The Germans are rightfully very proud of their tech. Spend a little time acquainting yourself with what sets them apart. Point it out to them. No need to hurry. They respond instantly. First, you need to wait one or a few days for Google to update this thread in...
