I have a 'bike' in the shop that has duel 1000 watt motors. It needed bleeds. I could not ride it, barley, cautiously, in the very lowest setting. It is a marketing POS, based on specs that are over the top for real riding. He said he has a moutain bike on the phone. This would not be on any mountain. It is a fat, unlawful throttle motorcycle that would crash on any trail. I still did the bleeds. He needs to stop.

a POS like that

Ive found a good use for my neo drone, inspecing the builders expensive repair on my mothers chimney lead.
Not impressed.

they called that a repair,?if that chimney is in service I would recommend a liner.

If he survives one day he may be enlightened,didn't take me long to realize I do not have the reflexes for Mtn biking!

its family politics, she likes him, but hes a scammer.
I tied to intervene but became the villian.
I really have to keep an eye on him, Ive tracked down where he lives and everyone I can who he has had off.
I keep blocking his number and deleting him from her phone.
Next step is my old club owner mate.

Another slot into the grey area, this is being marketed as 15.5 mph road legal if you remove the throttle, which is technically untrue unless the mapping is set at 3.8 mph walk mode at all times, then it would be legal connected.

Anyone can just say 250w nominal, the new Bosch and Dji do exactly that.

Its just a sticker.

 

[PedalUma]

The guy thinks it is a mountain bike because it has fat tires and a suspension. I admit I was wrong. It is 4,000 Watts! That is why it was so scary to ride with the PAS lag, surge, and lurch in power level 1.

1400 hundred dollars, my mates spend more on forks.

spend more on forks

They skimped on everything except marketing. I did not want the hulking battery here, but he did not bring the key. Notice how this under $200 Walmart scooter appears to be exploding with orange flame? That is so they can say, We told you so!

Its clear that high powered ebikes can now be very cheap and mostly reliable, if unrefined and heavy.

The only reason they are not on the sharp end of the governments boot is because getting people out of cars is high on the wish list, and they are being given a mostly freeride so far, plus its very time and manpower consuming to check them.

Surely a crackdown is building up, they can reel in the importers, but souping these things up is becoming average diy'er stuff.

How on Earth are they allowed to sell Surrons, practically none of them are ridden legally anywhere.

They are sold as private land, off-road only. If you have a huge Western ranch you can use it to quickly cover ground to quietly visit a couple of your wives each night. Then make the rounds to visit your kids in the morning. In that way they are practical.
