Which make of electric bike do you own?

[redalpha3]

I have a Dahon folder fitted with a Heinzmann 200watt motor. The electric stuff is wonderful but the small wheels of the folder make the combination a nightmare. Edit: And...an Ezee Sprint. (You need it for our hills in preference to a Torq)

I have a Currie USPD with a 24v 12ah battery pack. so far it has been on my Terra Trike 3.6, my Pacific Mountain bike and my tour Easy. So far I like it very well. On the Mountain bike or Tour Easy it can get up to 18 mph or so, but on the Terra trike with 20 inch wheels, it can manage 14. this is fine, because my range on the Trike is far greater!

One question for you folk. what are you LOOKING for, speed or duration?

Hi

Mine's a Bionx 350, li-ion jobbie which I'm very pleased with. I've just posted a review in a new thread which may help prospective buyers as I found it very difficult to get hold of useful information before buying, which made it a bit risky as I live in the UK and bought from America.

Cheers
Nick

Now the best hill climber of all, the Giant Lafree "drive through the gears" range have ben discontinued, there's not much that's good at climbing. The Electrodrive kit is quite good for that though, the eZee Quando makes light of 12% hills, but has the folder disadvantage that it's not as nice to ride, and there's the option of using a somewhat illegal 700 watt Heinzman if a long range isn't needed.

I need that impossible combination, speed, hill climbing and load carrying, range I'm not so bothered about, but to get the first three I use three bikes, though I could manage with just two of them.

Ian - I've been looking at these trailers myself on Ebay. Will you let us know when you get round to attaching it to your bike? I'm really interested in what you think about it.

I haven't fitted mine yet, I am trying to devise a fitting method.

Hi All,
I own a Coventry Eagle with a new model Currie Electro Drive fitted.

Pulls around 18mph on the flat and 12mph up a 1 in 8 hill.

I own a 3-speed Ezee Sprint, but I'm hoping I won't be an owner for much longer!

How much should I sell my Ezee Sprint for

[Beeping-Sleauty]

mine is the eco-brand whirlwind, large and very heavy, but quite fast and heaps of fun.

Looks quite good beeps, the kids would love those with that mountain bike styling, but I was surprised to see the 42 kilos weight, which is illegal. First I've seen like that, watch out for your driving licence, present or future! It's a motor cycle in law.

Unregistered, untaxed, no plates, no insurance, and maybe no driving licence, loads of points there!

[Beeping-Sleauty]

Hi Flecc, it certainly is a beast, probably weighs more now i've added a rack and bag (with tools) D lock, chain lock, mirrors and all sorts of other jewelry,

probably exceeds the permitted wattage and speed too....?

it's no good, i'll have to leave the country, are they still sailing in the fog ?

at least i don't have a drivers licence to lose, so they can tot up the points to their hearts content,

my last thought on the subject would be... they've got to catch me first, you should see this bike go.

i think i'll just go and hide in my bike shed for a bit.
