    Battery cell shopping guide for 2016

    Nicely written article by Carl. Didn't realize how much the performance of the 18650 cells have improved just in the last 2 years. As a point of reference my 2009 A2B Metro with LiMn cells was 36v11.4ah, and weighed ~ 12 lbs, around .410 kWh. So that's about 30 lbs/kWh. Maximum discharge...

    Take Bike Reviews with a grain of salt....

    Reviewers like Court provide a great, FREE, service to those interested in buying an electric bike. They raise awareness and provide an objective history and on the road test of the bikes. Otherwise you're just looking at a bunch of false advertising. HOWEVER, these reviewers have a limited...

    2012 Stromer Elite update

    Turned 3000 miles and 2 years on my little electric bike and this is what i have to report: Nothing. OK front tube, brake pads and chain were replaced. No electric malfeasance of any kind. No disappointments or roadside quandaries. Rode in the Florida a rain a bunch. Rarely ran it to...

    New HPC Model: Wolverine

    Looks good.. Seems like an inexpensive Stealth Bomber... That is if you think 6k+ is inexpensive! More like a dirt bike design than an eBike.. No pedal assist, which makes sense, given it high off road speed capability and dead weight of 80 lbs.. http://www.hi-powercycles.com (Link Removed -...

    How's your Stromer Battery holding up?

    Not real pleased with how the battery is degrading and wanted to know how others are doing. Bought my Stromer (leftover Elite model) 36v11ah, Jan 2014. Maintain it by the book, rarely let it reach the lower voltage cutoff. Sits in my Miami garage. After 3000 miles, and 18 months, and no...
