There you go again! Making personal attacks. @Brambor did you search all my posts before accusing me of being unaware of NYC laws? I have known about it for over a year. I have wanted to buy an eBike for years. Until the HPC Revolution came along, my road is simply not an option. You are...

How fast do you want to go in mph? (I will buy HPC Revolution in near future. Capable of 45mph on and off road) Exactly how far do you want to go? (Has 26 Amp hour NMC battery for 100 mile range at 20 mph) How much are you willing to spend ? (Costs $9000) Contact me via a private conversation...

Which Fox shocks would you get? I assume Fox comes in the same size? I could simply ask for Fox because the frame is modular. Just like buying a frame from any other bike manufacturer. I assume the frame attachment hole is the same diameter for Fox and Rock Shox? The most important aspect is...

Do you prefer coil or air shocks?

The spec sheet has the following info. Is this sensitive enough? Counter Measure™ Engineered For The Elite, the new Vivid conquers several once-thought-impossible engineering feats. Technologies like Counter Measure, which reduces the breakaway force of the shock to virtually zero pounds...

So, it seems to me a swingarm provides more traction and shock absorption, than a traditional bicycle diamond frame rear suspension. The swingarm is independent from the frame.

I plan to buy three wheels: no motor, 1000 watts (CA legal bicycle "motorized bicycle") and a 3500 watt rear hub motor (CA legal "motorized cycle", not a "motorcycle" nor "scooter").

Shocks should perform like a motorcycle at 45mph, rather than a bicycle. The suspension must handle 15 and 25 mph speed bumps. Ordinary road potholes must also be safely absorbed.

I only wish! The general consensus is the situation is beyond belief. The current solution is to remove half of the lanes, which seems equally absurd. There will be many angry drivers. I see this becoming an election issue, as silly as that may seem. Someone dropped the ball. It feels like...

Kyle, I plan to buy the HPC REvolution Sport as the base model. My initial approach is to upgrade the suspension to either the HPC Revolution X5 or HPC Revolution 5. The purpose of this post is to teach myself the differences. I want to find the most cost effective solution to handle 45mph speeds.

OK. My approach is establish a basis for comparison with the stock bike. After the stock shock features are explained, then we can compare with Fox.

OK. First, I want to establish the initial costs. Second, compare Fox cost with the HPC Revolution shocks. The additional cost has to be weighed against the benefit. I plan to use the 78V, 3500 watt motor found on the Revolution Sport. Chris, at HPC, told me I can customize the bike to my...

What suspension is necessary for a "California motorized cycle" or "eMotorBike" capable of 45+ mph? An eMotorBike must be less than 3720 watts, according to U.S. DOT regulation. This article uses the HPC 78 volt, 3500 watt motor as a reference point. The battery tank holds two 13Ah NMC chemistry...

OK. I think a drag race format makes acceleration the focal point. What is the critical minimum speed before the motor becomes efficient? 5-15 mph? Pedaling still makes a critical difference. The rider/bike is not taken out of the equation. The complicated ebike is reduced to ultimate...

I call "Standard eBikes " EuroBikes. EuroBikes go against American advertising culture. Blowing off a car from a traffic light impresses Americans. A 5000 watt electric captures the American imagination. That is where you will succeed. How about your home state? Bonneville salt flats...

George, I think EuroBikes go over like a lead ballon in USA. Americans always think of 0-60 in x seconds. I believe 0-30 is a good measure for USA, because it markets like a car. The problem is few EuroBikes have throttles. What do you think is an exciting 0-30 benchmark that would excite the...

George, How about drag racing. Acceleration is a big difference between conventional bikes. Speed is sexy. What 0 to 30mph would attract attention?

What do u think about this helmet? http://electricbikereview.com/community/threads/how-cool-is-voice-controlled-skully-helmet-eyes-in-the-back-of-your-electric-bike.1711/

Skyline Hike Found four new mountain lions today. Tracked one cat about half a mile.

The picture of three cyclists controlling the left hand lane is the solution. Riding a bike in the right hand lane is too dangerous. The only safe or sane option is to ride an eMotorBike in the left hand lane. I almost always see scooters and motorcycles in the left hand lane.
