the diference is that thoose guys gained more strengh and endurance for the nest run then you!! and that is called self-improvement and accomplishment notion, stuff that you might miss if you try doing it with out electric motors… (not that gas motors are better).
P.S.: i am not calling you lazy or any of thoose kinds of adjectives, but regardless bikes were build to use human power (muscle power) and not electric or gas.
@crzZoo his voice makes me breath

2006. Same batteries, motor, controller. Battery circuit boards designed for a power tool, not an electric bike. Can blow an internal fuse in battery casing that can’t be replaced. Can be bypassed. Have had to replace circuit boards in most batteries (bought off internet).
Nice to see decent gentleman on YouTube who knows what he is talking about for a change
my question after reading the comments: you built this bike back in 2007 are you still using the same bike now with the same motor and same batteries? And what are the reliability issues ? Do you know if new technology since then that can be more efficient now? Appreciate your feedback.
@biodiversivist interesting, I’m not sure it would hurt or help me yet. Where I live there is clearly not enough space for bikers and is biker unfriendly ( a city in NJ ), wondering if it would help or make a tight space even tighter…

Oh yes. Everyone assumes I have a child on board and gives me special deference. I feel guilty sometimes.
Do you find the bike kid trailer causes cars to be more cautious around you? thus making it safer for you
hey. can you sen dme your entire design? if posible just private message me and i will give my email adress. i live in karachi pakistan, and would love this over a damn big car any day. thanks.

I like your voice. It relaxes me.
Please show and tell how you wired those batteries in a series. Nice job
Hello, I live in Paris where there are lots of hills besides Montmartre. Your outfit is very impressive. The point is not to beat speed records but to bike in hilly terrain. Hills can discourage would-be bikers who are not super-fit bike nuts. This outfit solves the problem. Congratulations!
really effective. can they hear the motor as you go past I wonder? might they think you were really fit
I like Seattle.
i would have to uninstalled the battery pack and carrying it in with me if i used something like that in my town. but its really nice. i am going to learn how to ride this month, its a birthday promise.
and you used how many packs?? Sounds pricey. What do make of those ones that EBAY is selling?
408? Is that 408 Cubic Inches? Lol
What watts is your motor.
Cheers!
What is an electric only range using 6 batteries?
Sure, without taking into account uphill / downhill rides
About $1400. Bike was only $170. One battery pack is $180.
how much is the hole thing cost ?with out the bike
Excellent video! Very informative. Thank you.
what is the fucking speed?
They apparently buy motors. Possibly from Crystalyte.
“….We have undertaken extensive research to identify motor, battery and component suppliers who can consistently supply good quality products. We have a cellar and workshop full of crude motors and failed batteries to prove it! …”
Wondering if you had considered any other motor than the crystalyte. There is a uk company that makes something called a “nano” motor for bikes with very little internal resistance. Thanks for the the video – very kewl!
awesome, im a 24 yr old male from bellevue. I am very interested in building and designing electric vehicles from scrap parts. i would really like to brainstorm with you sometimes if you’d like and perhaps work on some concepts with you if you would allow me too. thanks

let say you use 6 battery ,how many miles you will make?
can you use 600w bmc engine to , with the dewalt?
