Electric bike weight and price

Hi Allen,

I'm working on an easy to fit kit that is light and should be cost effective to produce. The video is at a Barclays business competition, there are some stills of the cad model as well. I have emailed web admin to see if this is an appropriate post, no reply so i hope it's ok.

I would like to know what people think about the product idea.

All the best,
Stephen Britt.

I'm not admin Stephen, but posts on new ideas and technologies are always welcome. There have been several approaches to adding low additional power to bikes in less conventional ways and it will be interesting to hear more about this method, power added in watts and what battery and current feed arrangements are envisaged.

Steve: I get an 'application error' from Barclays when I try to load your link. Might well be down to me using Apple Mac/Firefox, which some snooty PC systems do not like...

If you love tinkering, have a basic knowledge of cycle mechanics and some general electrical know how. Buy a kit and have ago yourself.

If you just want to get out there and cycle then something from one of the well known and respected companies should fit the bill.

Spot on, Stumpi. When I was a lad, I used to strip down engines in my front garden (oooh, the neighbours, the shame), jump out of cars at traffic lights to adjust the points (I kid you not). Nowadays my tools are better, but largely unused, and I would only lie underneath a car if it had knocked me down first.

I think between us I have answered my question.

I've just finished fitting an EZee kit to our Cannondale Tandem. It toll 35 minutes and (count them) 5 tools. Looks neat. Post pics soon.

I'll be very interested to see the pics. Still have reservations about too many thumbs! Also interested to know what it's like to ride.
Best wishes,
Tom.

I'm no lottery winner, so money IS an issue, as ever, but on the other hand over many misspent decades I've wasted loads of dosh trying to save it, and looking back it's been the times when I've bitten the bullet and paid the piper

Allen.

yes, i agree, buying quality stuff is often worth it.

Hi Allen

Have you tried Cytronex? This is exactly what they do and they do it very well!

They are BEBA members and can be found on the BEBA site from the link on the right hand side of this page.

All the best

I've watched the video, Steve, but I think we would all need to see the Super Pedals working before passing much comment! Powered pedals sound like a fascinating idea, so another film please.

Thanks for the thought, David, but as you've recently convinced me to buy a Wisper, I've abandoned passing fancies of doing-it-myself...
