    Considering an ebike. I often commute by bike (Trek 7100 hybrid), 30 miles round trip urban. Getting tired of it. Since I was previously considering a Trek 7.3, perhaps just get the Trek that is a 7.3 with edrive? Or one of the Schwinns. The Schwinns (Tailwind, WorldGSE, etc) have a 250 watt and...

    This may turn into a long, serial thread. I ordered and paid for a 48V, 1000W rear hubmotor from daoji888 of YXM Corp. in China, on Oct. 29. They shipped it on Nov. 5 (700c rims were out of stock, hence the delay), and today (Sat. Nov. 14) I got a call from the post office saying a big box had come...

  12. Crank Motor vs Hub Motor

    Hi All, Help! I am a newbie and I am looking at several ebikes. One is the R11 model sold by R. Martin in Austin, TX. I emailed Mr martin and he replied that the R11 has a 200 W brushless crank motor instead of a hub motor. He claims the crank motor is better than the hub motor because it...

  16. E-bikes for lazy people?

    Are ebikes for lazy people? Seems like what most people think when they see one or hear about one. They can be used to make hill climbing easier, offering an unfair advantage against other cyclists who have to pedal using their own muscles unaided. Are ebikes unfair and for lazy people? Before...

    I don't know if this is in fact the same as the Schwinn Izip or what. I saw one in wal-mart last weekend and liked how it had an optional second battery spot, and up to 40mile range with both batteries. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=6339293 I might get one for those...

  20. A little improvement

    Dear people, I have thought a little improvement for my SLA batteries: Connect in parallel with them a large-capacity electrolytic capacitor, let's say 5000 uf x 80 V, the purpose is to improve the peak current to the motor, What do you think?
