I find this thread very interesting from a legal and political standpoint. Normally I’m just a forum lurker, but I think I’d like to enter my 2 cents here… 2 cents from the point of view of an expat ebike enthusiast/propagandist living in Europe. The way I see it there...

I wonder just how far a Toyota Prius would make it on a coast-to-coast trip with a $10 fuel/energy budget! :mrgreen: ...slow and steady wins the race! :lol:

Congrats Justin!!!! I was a silent lurker of this thread, only posting once in the beginning to compliment one of the finest and most innovative ebikes I'd ever seen constructed. However, I followed the thread daily -along with our whole community- enjoying your posts ranging from the quirky...

Wow! Awesome idea! This has got to be one of the top 5 best ebikes on this site! I wish you all the luck on your massive endeavour. Have fun meeting the ebikers, weary road travellers, and hopefully some media rats out there on the road. I'm almost finished reading Jack Kerouac's On The...

Oh shit... how'd you manage to do that?

Awesome, yeah I was looking at those too. They're foldable, right? I really like the 'side pod' bags they've designed for 'em. Looks like thye have tons of room for batts.

Yup... or even modify a KMX accordingly... :twisted:

Cool, how much do they weigh & cost? IMO,the heavier the better for this project. I think the machine would need more weight up front for it to work right on the KMX. Not sure though. KMX claims that the trike can handle 135kg. If they're too much, do you know if Crystalyte have lighter...

Hey, thanks a lot Paul!!! Those trikes look awesome! Aluminium & titanium frame - only 16kg in total; centre-point steering; etc. Peter's customizations look pretty cool too. Thanks for the links! Do you own one yourself? Or is that a Catrike in your avatar? It's too bad that site looks a...

Actually, at only 19.5 kg without the motors, I think it's reasonably light for a trike to begin with. Of course with a couple of hubs I'm not going to be picking the thing up and hiking up any flights of stairs. I think this also depends on the choice of the hubs involved. If I choose a...

I appreciate your imput, especially since, unlike myself, you own and ride one of these machines. But could you possibly be a bit more specific on said 'problems'? ...or are you just emphasizing your agreement to the theoretical problems that might arise which have already been mentioned in...
