Yes, the use of CAN is interesting but I wonder if it's really necessary on what is essentially a very simple system with little sensory input...however it could open the door for a more closely coupled and better integrated system than is currently available today.

while interesting and probably more useful in my motorhome..... a few more Ah in the battery department would be far more useful in THAT price range:p

Whilst the site initially seems very informative.....it then goes on to find it was " surprised " to find where the bikes were built . The info on the Can stuff goes over my head and appears copied and pasted .To explain that stuff in laymans terms would of been better .The bikes are over priced and after reflection I think the authors to be condescending.

The bikes come from Barcelona, Spain and are manufactured, or should it be asembled by a company called Ecobike here is their website Ecobike - Bicicletas Eléctricas - ecobike - electric bikes.
I would imagine that they are almost entirely Chinese as far as content goes, not that there is anything wrong with that.
They are not particularly cheap compared to equivalent bikes and that is probably due to high Spanish labour costs.

I love Barcelona and Catalonia in general:cool:, but not sure that the bikes offer anything special.

from the link prices in Spain a far more reasonable 1400 euro approx £1180 at current exchange rate. no real tech information on eco site either:rolleyes:
