That is awesome.

whoa £16,000! Thats crazy. Kind of illustrates a general process of diminishing returns that you get with EVs as they get larger and more powerful. The heavier the vehicle, the more power is needed to lug around the weight of more power. Makes sense to go light... wish someone would bring out a...

The price drop in the last week obviously isnt depreciation, thats not how depreciation works. Depreciation is reduction in value over the course of time due to wear and tear or relative to a wider changing market. The Pagan is currenty SORN; it didnt experience £750 of wear and tear in the last...

There isn't much overlap between the two. They have different strengths. The pagan eliminates fuel costs, road tax, engine noise (you'd be surprised how much that improves your enjoyment of the ride) and also your contribution to humanity b*mf***ing the climate to death, if thats a priority for...

http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/pagan-electric-bike-60mph-fully-road-legal.22286/ d8veh introduced me to this forum when he posted a link to the last road legal ebike I sold: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/fast-legal-bike.19861/ The resulting thread was so much fun that I...

One-off Pagan brand ebike. Unlike every other high powered ebike out there, this model has passed government approval and has been road registered as a motorcycle class vehicle, so can legally travel on the roads at its top speed, 60mph. Features: Adaptto Max-e sine wave controller...

Updated price, this is now £1000. Doesnt look like anyone wants it, havent even had any offers, so i'll try to make the price the best thing about it.

to drive a motorcycle above 125cc. You need a CBT first, then pass theory and motorcycle test, and then you can drive a motorcycle above 125cc. If you have no intention of doing this and are happy to ride less then 125cc, you can just keep renewing your CBT.

even provisional license? ive been riding around on these high powered ebikes with just a CBT for years

Its a worthwhile point to make. The bike im selling does sit in an uncomfortable place in the market, where a buyer needs to know how these kinds of DIY ebikes work, in order to fix any faults that might arise through normal road use wear and tear (i stated in the advert that its unlikely car...

Good point, trucks have to have that height. Im picturing in my head though a truck with a lower front cabiny part but unaltered rear cargo part, so that, in this fictional world of all velomobile/recumbents, they are able to see all the other road users. Is there a reason they have to be so...

I figured what would i do differently if building again (first question), and 'the bike compares poorly to a new build/ready made' (second statement) are related so i can address them both at once. The battery on the bike is a 60v 20ah LiFePo4 battery. The new ones i have built use LiNiMnCo...

Oh dear, sorry if i gave that impression. I love the discussions about legality perticularly, ive learnt loads! My wanting to call it a day in terms of participation and checking back on this thread was because of this post: not so much a criticism as just molten nastiness, i dont really have...

oh... you mean like a skip for rubbish :-( i didnt understand the context at first, thought it might be bicycle terminology. I think i'll wrap things up here, i think ive misjudged this forum somewhat, i thought a thread about my bike might appreciate information about it from its maker... but i...

what is a mini skip?
