    Fat guy (280 lbs) Looking for 2000w Hand throttled Kit/parts Where to begin.

    Yeah, the motor I was looking at has PAS and throttle, I guess Lunacycles does something to make their magic pie motors 1500w instead of 1000w , as goldenmotors.ca says theirs is only 1000w but it seems to be the same motor.

    Are you saying the golden pie hub motor is a bad motor/kit? And as far as the bike, it looks like I'll have to go with plan B , which is order the motor/battery , then go up to the bike shop and find a frame that fits the battery, and myself, and find a similar one with disc brakes or install...

    Thx, those look nice, how hard would adding a front disc brake be? as coaster brakes alone might not be enough

    You got to remember, 30mph for a skinnyerson prob 22-23 mph for me. Nice bike ,but those are almost $3000 :| I'm just worried If i bought a 750w id be wishing I'd gone bigger the whole time, and they cost the same. When I priced the industrial cargo bike someone posted here, it was...

    So I found this Fixie frame - steel framed - only real problem is the brakes but oh well, what do you guys think? If not, I could not find a bike with disc brakes with a strong frame for under $500 . Perhaps what I am having problems with is this, what is more important, disc brakes or...

    Well, I don't see how I'd need bluetooth if I have the LCD screen (educate me if I am wrong) but the v5 should be the same motor just different colors with the bluetooth connectivity. Figured I'd save a few bucks :) I'm going to the bike store right now to ask em

    My donor bike was actually way to big. And yes i was hoping to keep it under $1300ish - that 1500w goldenpie with big battery was right at $1000 after shipping.

    Wife said I cant put the kids on the bike, oh well scrap that. So my local shop has a single speed steel framed bike - would I have any problems with a single speed, or should I get an adjustable speed. Looking pretty closely that the http://lunacycle.com - found it odd that the golden...

    well I cant find any weight limits, but I'd be shocked if the bike shop sold a 400+ lb guy a 250lb limited bike. Okay - so If i were going to buy a bike - any leads on where to find one thats sturdy and won't break the bank? I'd have to assume mongoose at walmart is a nono.

    Well i picked up my brothers bike, forgot the one I rode earlier was different. This one is a Raleigh Venture 3.0 XL purchased in 2007-2008 - I know its an aluminum frame, but can not tell what the part that matters is. Besides needing a BIG clean up and oiling , would this bike be well...

    Mr George S , that kit looks like what I need, I definitely will check it out - also will check the reviews out. Might be a noob question but - I assume I do want a freewheel as that kit has regenerative braking (i honestly dont know what a freewheel is so I wont pretend I do) ALso from...

    :) well I've already know the laws are bullcrap and are kinda anti fat people. Such as my 1200w scooter is not legal as it goes over 25mph on flat ground with a 150 pound rider - its meant to go 35mph - but with my fatbutt on it it only goes 22-23 mph. So while its illegal, a scooter that...

    Big Man, What and When to Buy

    Check your local laws, Scooters are the same as bikes in Louisiana, but are limited to only being able to go 25 mph. LA does not allow you to even buy tags on a scooter so you either can or cant drive one on the road. On a 2nd note - I am 6'1 and 280 lbs - I was looking for a e-bike kit...
