I haven't seen that type of helmet before, both seem to be head huggers for sure. I wonder what advantages they provide, if any?

Downloaded the pdf.. Thanks

Budget is always a consideration, however, I would recommend even taking a loan out to buy a good bike. You can make up for that loan by not having to purchase gasoline.

Better somethin' than nothin'.

The cutting out was probably a sensor detecting too much heat. You did climb a mountain after all. In June, I had my Motiv Shadow stop working also. I was riding along, throttle only, at about 20 mph for a half an hour, when suddenly everything went dead. I figured I had overheated the motor...

Sorry to hear about your father's health problem and I hope he can get a kidney transplant soon.... I did two tours in VN, and as you can well imagine for a young man of 20 years it was a cultural, mental and physical shock of the first order. But by the close of my second year there, I and...

I would agree with you here, I test drove a 500 watt 48 volt Pedego Interceptor. The acceleration was awesome, but because I "hung out" here before I got to looking for an ebike, I knew about the problems created by mounting the battery on a pannier rack. I noticed that at higher speeds it felt...

Make it a M-16, the M-1 was used in WW2 and perhaps on the Korean peninsula.

Look at the chart at the bottom of this page: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) also here: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) and finally wind resistance and other losses here: http://mccraw.co.uk. Obviously, if we take some measures like lowering our silhouette, or using a recumbent, this...

I was not going to mention anyone by name, but now there it is. Don't you and I think that other companies have their share of manufacturing snafus? You bet they do. Ninety percent of the parts that make up these bikes are made in China. The assemblers here in the U.S. have only limited control...

Sadly, there is no getting around the fact that generally, to double your speed from 10 or 12 mph to 25 mph, your power usage increases as much as 10 times, in order to cover the same distance.

I am starting to have misgivings about us slapping the manufacturers publicly in the face when these problems pop up. I know if I had a issue with my Motiv Shadow, I would email or call Motiv and speak to Cameron or another employee. Only if that problem was not addressed properly would I think...

Very disconcerting. I would first exhaust all of the normal channels provided by Currie Technologies to try and fix these issues/defects. If after a reasonable amount of time, you have not been satisfied, then "air" the problems at this forum. If the problems are fixed, then report that here...

No, probably not, unless that rear wheel is out of alignment: again read: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/shimmy.html However, there is a mention of loose rear spokes here in the glossary under "shimmy": https://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_sa-o.html There is another rather depressing...

From your avatar pic, I wouldn't have guessed that you are female!

Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_wobble and: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/shimmy.html Small imperfections in the tire, wheel, steering mechanism can add up at higher speeds. I would change the front tire first. Always try the cheapest easiest fix first before going on to more...

I am sure you have read this at ES: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=51044 . Be aware a 48V 1000 Watt motor is going to drain that battery and kill your range in no time flat when you climb those hills or insist on going 30 MPH. Wind drag is a drag: (Link Removed - No Longer...

I talked to a guy who was arrested when he admitted to a Phoenix cop that he was drunk while driving his 1000 watt ebike. In the conversation he stated that he had just recovered from a face plant whereby he had broken several bones in his face. I noticed he had no helmet. He said didn't like...

$450 bucks? That's a lot of money. I think I'm going to show up September 12.
