well after testing my new bike on a ride to work and back i couldnt be more impressed or happy with it
Hills that normally caused me to have to change back to 1st gear i went up with ease in 15th gear
it used to take me 1hr solid to ride to work and i would be covered in sweat
now i seem to be doing it easy in 35mins (depending on lights), im still sweaty just not as much
you still have to pedal (u dont have to, you can just go faster if you do) if u just use the motor then your speed is about 15 to 20 k's depending on the road, but if you pedal u can maintain 30 to 40 k's its just like having a second person pedaling with you
I Love it
Just as i get to work it starts to run out of power, this is for 2 reasons, the run time was calculated using a person fa lighter than me and also i turned the little hidden power switch up so i get max power and this of course cause more drain on the batteries
you can buy a second power pack (or make one) ((i prolly buy))
the second battery plugs into the first batteries charge plug and then the second batteries charge plug becomes the new charge plug, then you have twice the range
when it starts to run out of puff however you can still get good push from it by using a lower gear, when you are in top gear the empty light comes on as you roll on the throttle, but when you are in a much lower gear and roll on the throttle you can still hold 2 to 3lights on the meter
a smarter person than me would be able to explain the dynamics of this
What a fantastic little invention, i can get to work for about 5 cents of electricity and i can get home for free because i charge it up at work
i intend to use the money that i used to spend on petrol each week to increase my mortage repayments and work towards a future that is free from debt
