Hi,
Looks like there is several matters here that I need to reply.
1) This is not an organised race, it is a friendly riding trip amongst friend,
with an intent to find out how our bikes and ourselves works together.
2) I do not know exactly at this time, if we could like take off 1 hrs after the pros started at 10.00 we start at 11.00 am and finish 3 or 4 hrs later.
I figure we would not be more than 4 ot 5 people participating, maybe more ? I don't know. David Henshaw would help determine the final route and time.
3) Obviously Scott Snaith does not understand much about electric bikes despite having been in this business with eZee for a few years. It is not possible that I could just turn the throttle finish this 112 miles over some hilly areas with 22 mph assuming even there is no wind at all. If I could it will really show that I have a miracle product in hand.
4) From my experience of riding the 2200 km for part of the silk route, I could do an average of 22.5 km / hr 14 mph , so I have no need of a de-restricted motor. I am not a dare devil who could handle high speed either.
5) There is more than enough business or orders for me to handle, eZee sales has more than double this year vs 2007 , and will more than double in 2009 vs 2008. So this excercise is not about getting more sales, it is about getting the informations right.
Best regards
