Hi Folks,
We have signed up for the Ride the Rockies Event this year. It's a 444 mile 6 day ride through the mountains. http://ridetherockies.com/
I will be riding my converted Rans Stratus, with our Rocha Mid drive design. It's a large Astroflight motor, coupled up to a Boston gear reduction, pushing a double freewheel applying the power through a 9 speed derailleur system. We will run it at 24 volts, and it currently carries 20 amp hours of lithum ion batteries from A123. I think we will add another 20 amp hours in a Bob trailer behind my ride, to give me a solid 100 mile range.
Anyone else signed up for this great event? I am looking for a couple partners in crime, as we should have around 3,000 roadies, that's 1,999 roadies and I signed up, and around 1,000 pirates who join in for the ride without signing up.
This ride will have some serious technical riding up mountain passes, and long downhill runs. Lot's of folks camping, sharing stories, and information. The best part for me, is that it ends up in our home town, Fort Collins, where we will have a table set up, and some of our other
E bike designs out on display.
I wonder how This E bike will be accepted in a group of 3,000 roadies? I believe that I have right to ride, as it is a true 750 watt assist, I pedal, and it helps me to be able to participate...Ideas?
