Thanks for your advice and insight, you guys rock.
LFP, I don't know what to say about BIonX, the closed system part does suck. I've voided the warranties several times over and fried one while running at high voltage. If I could tell you how awesome it feels to fly around in the night on a BIonX, up and down huge hills (I get up to 1500 watts of assist when overvolting) with no thought about interface, its like the bike comes alive. You pedal harder, it pedals harder... until you're pushing it for all you can get...
I've driven a roadster and know the kick ass feeling of acceleration that knocks your head into the headrest like a dropped bowling ball hitting the floor all under the eerily silent and vibration free power of the motor, so I get where you're coming from too...
It is great how Justin's new V3 brings both sides of ebiking together.
Thanks for sharing your encouraging experience Silenceflight. This seems like a whole new arena open to experience: the Bionic feeling of having your leg power amplified not like 1x or 2x like on pedalecs, but 10x or 20x or even 100x! I too think it would be just awesome.
