Wow, that's a big surprise :laugh:
This thing can only go 7.5 miles before you must turn around and head home and has a top speed of 40 mph?? Why doesn't he just buy a skateboard or inline skates? He'd still have enough left over from the $2,000 he blew on this contraption to buy a real bike. Ed

Can't remember where, maybe I posted a photo.
I like the bikes that I have seen, when they use a real bottom end, with an electric motor on top. You will get more power with a transmission, then adding batteries for more power.
Battery type is important, recharge time is another issue.
I have only seen one or two good throttle set ups. In my mind, the throttle is a biggie! You need smooth control of the power. Throttle set ups are easier, if you use a computer, but who wants that crap.
Next year, when all the electric street bikes come out, things will really start to happen. Home tuners will go wild and we will see some real improvements happen.
Once again, the guy who invents a low RPM, high output, alternater will be rich. Everyone says it can't be done, BS!
You need to be able to charge while you ride or drive.
