I just saw a website for a 36 inch wheeled bike.
It looks very artistic, however with some improvements like ... redesign to lose 4-6 Kg's , Make the Front fork with a little Vertical Flex, and design the rear to be longer with Vertical Flex ( what bike Mgf's call Vertical Compliance )
and even deeper rims like 30mm or so, made from carbon. ( I have heard there are affordable Carbon Rims Available when you know where to look for them, I will look into that later )
A design like this makes me want to get one ( with the above improvements ) and put a rear hub motor on it.
Think of the possibility of getting more speed, with lighter weight and less wattage hub rear motors , with such 36 inch size tires !
With a bike like this , weighing in at around 12 to 15 kg , before the electronics, it would be possible to get speeds we want from 1.5 kg or even 1 kg . 200-400 watt motors ?
Can't wait until a less artsy version , with the above improvements, more reasonable cost, is available .
