I agree they are seriously beautiful bikes. Really, they would pay for themselves in a matter of a year you drive to work everyday.
I was suspecting they were using the Crystalyte motor, I wonder what they did to it without changing in any significant way. Even the best hub motors are not built anywhere near the quality/performance that we R/Cers enjoy.
Metallover, I have looked at many kits, I keep going back to the Ampedbikes kit for $350, gives you 23mph, maybe 25 with a little extra influence (voltage
), but the one thing I am wondering is if they can take a 8 speed freewheel?
I am also eyeing up the Nine Continent kits, as I can buy these within Canada.
Also, if anyone has any experience with the A123 cells from the Chinese suppliers, let me know how they are, performance, used?, capacity, number of dead cells when purchased, etc.
