    The Ultra Motors A2B

    Is the motor geared or direct drive? I like the fat tires and full suspension, but I'd want a monster-sized chainring on the crank.

    Best Lion bike available

    This one looks good for hills http://www.thesuperkids.com/20izexliione.html but for that price you could almost have a Kalkhoff with its proven Panasonic drive technology and four different frame sizes shipped to the USA http://www.50cycles.com/agattu_spec.shtml for only $6350 you could have...

    20 million e-bikes sold in china last year

    You can find interesting stuff using Chinese characters to search with Babelfish translator, like this for example http://www.bigsolar.url.tw/fuelcellbike.htm and this http://big5.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j01eCAQJESBkYovM/%E7%85%9E%E9%AD%94008%E7%94%B5%E5%8A%A8%E8%BD%A6.jpg

    When Price is no Object

    I guess that allows for adjustment to almost any sized rider using one frame size, clever idea but this looks like something drawn by Dr. Seuss

    hubkit for 29er ???

    I want one too and will probably build one using the higher-torque version of the new BMC metal geared motor, but I wish there were Panasonic-powered fat tire 29ers on the market. Check out this sweet 2009 Kona Ute utility 29er with a now larger sized frame, it would make an ideal electric bike...

    Nice bike, I'd be interested in a Ute if they had larger size frames. Why did you go with 24" wheels? According to the E-bike simulator you don't gain much in the way of torque going from 29" down to 24" with a geared motor, but gain a lot with a higher amped controller. Try changing the...

    What is your dream ebike?

    I like the concept of pedal assisted, full-sized, high-efficiency, good climbing ability, good geometry adult bicycles. I much prefer high torque to speed. I suspect that bottom bracket motors integrated into the frame and chain drive are much more efficient than hub motors. The Optibike...

    eZee vs BMC with C-lyte controller test

    I wonder if it's possible to run two identical geared hubs using one throttle attached to two different controllers with shared batteries. I'd like to build a 29er MTB capable of climbing 1500 ft over two and half miles on dry hard packed dirt - is that realistic goal? Edited to correct...
