High torque brushless, internally geared hub motor provides nearly silent propulsion. Lithium Ion batteries are 52V, 8AH and weigh only 6.5 pounds.. Range is 20+ miles (upgradeable). Bike weighs only about 50 pounds. Check our our new website, www.hi-powercycles.com!!!

@mario712145 ROFLMAO
Please watch:
THE WORLD’S SIMPLEST TRANSMISSION for BICYCLE
416 Watts engine? Or more?
just ride a normal bike and use EPO
What’s the use of this? If you’re too lazy to peddle go on and buy a moped for that money… -_-’
were can i get the battery pack set up
i have a 48 volt bike kit that uses lead acid and when its fully charged the volt metter reads 52 volts so i need a litho set up so i can go up hills with ease
@DocLow – Yes, you have to get a crystilyte controller, they have a function that will put power back into the batteries when you use the brakes! I think it’s called regenerative braking. It uses the motor windings to help slow you down and at the same time generate electricity, you could probably pedal through this function but I think it would probably be very hard.
@mario712145 looooool hahahahahahaha excactly
30mph, it’s always fun to kick a cars butt around town.
@laurasIs2c I want to know the same thing, I hope you get an answer.
to much wind noise, need as better mic
you guys talking about economy… You realise there -are- different types of batteries that can hold a charge longer, right? Technology in batteries is progressing quickly now (if you notice laptops)… Longer distance = higher quality + more battieries (has nothing to do with the bike or motor)
Looks great and thanks for posting. Can you tell me if when you peddle the battaries get a bit of charge or does it depend on being charged by an outlet.
lol 4:43 – 4:48 it’s wild wild west
Chris you are being absolutely destroyed over on Endless Sphere.
Nice work. I use my road bike quite a lot and the mountain bike for quick trips to the store or a friends place. I’ll bet if I had one of these I could still get a workout by pedaling and just use the battery for a little bit of a power/speed boost to get there quicker! I think this is a fantastic option.
All you naysayers out there that are complaining about the mileage, howabout getting off your keesters and pedaling a bit… that just might help don’t you think!
I like the trash bag blowing by at the end…kinda sums up the whole video.
@rellirTnoraa1
I see.
They do sell extra battery packs though. Why not buy two battery packs and swap them when one runs out? You can build a battery compartment on the side of the bike.
@Charles2337 I ride my bike 36 miles a day, so for some people 20 miles is not enough
Very Nice. Love the Acceleration ! Can you imagine if everyone rode these. what a quiet, clean air World we would live in…ahhhh
I have this exact bike but without the electric motor and it only weighs about 28Lbs. so 50Lbs is a HUGE difference. Plus i can already do 30MPH on the street by just pedaling.
The electric motor is a cool design and idea but its not practical.
I used to ride my bike 20 miles a day for exercise. If I wanted something to take me to and from work it would have to go a heck of alot farther than 20 miles per charge. It’s a nice toy but not very economical.
@organichealthycoffee
It’s a bicycle. 20 miles is more than enough.
Too much money for the very short distance it will take you per charge. Not worth it.
