>>1029011I probably could.... I do like talking aboot it eh.
>>1029019About 55 kph on the flats
>>1029030>>Also what's the maximum range?That can really vary a LOT depending on many factors, like winds, hills, average speed, full throttle accelerations, how much human power I'm adding, tires etc. Generally about 50-80 km or so, usually without pedaling a ton as I get massive workouts in when I ride my "regular" bike in the mtns.
>>What does it weigh?About 90 lbs / 41 kg. Not light by any means, but a powerful hub motor is heavy and I also chose a battery chemistry that isn't known for having the highest power to weight ratio, but is known for being the most safe and most resistant to thermal runaway.
>>How many deaths would you die if you'd have to pedal back home with an empty battery?Probably not even one as I am very fit. It wouldn't be fun. Takes a lot to accelerate but once up to speed it goes pretty good on flats with just pedalling.... It's a super pig on any hill climb without power.
>> How many non-electrified cyclists have managed to overtake you?None.. this thing is fast. Even on a regular MTB with knobbies I could commute at double the speed I see most guys on the pathway doing with their road/commuter bikes and tiny slicks. Rare to see anyone actually biking fast on the paths here.
>>1029052Glad you like it, and... well, you're basically correct yes.. it's a somewhere between lightweight motorcycle and high powered e bike. A motoped of sorts. I have a high level of handling skills so I don't feel I am a danger to others with it and ride very courteously and cautiously... I don't blast everywhere at full throttle anyway. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junky tho... so nice to get a bit of a rush on an average commute, and also commute quickly.
It will burn a lot more calories than driving, even with low leg effort. Aggressive cockpit position, aero tucks, and always "ghost" pedaling.
