I just noticed that from another post and this thing looks very scary!

Good for drag racing i suppose
Spacey said:Selling a bike like that for UK roads is just going to get the Police to clamp down on them. It's a bit bloody dangerous having a frame that will not stand up to those speeds....and V Brakes...I mean WTF! Maybe I should use my shoes to help me break from 60mph with hardly any suspension/skinny mountain bike tires/flimsy frame and all that weight.
Someone will hurt themselves if thy buy this without knowing how to ride, strip all the parts off and put them in a decent frame.
30mph is one thing for commuting but this abomination will kill someone.
But yes...if asked...I would ride this to work lol
Jeremy Harris said:Notwithstanding all the things that are potentially iffy about this bike and the character that's put it together, the single most hilarious thing is to see the stir it's caused over on the UK Pedelecs forum.
Watching the holier-than-thou crowd condemn this bike, when large numbers of them are riding ebikes that don't comply with UK law, is laughable (and if anyone thinks I'm making this up, then just do some very simple power measurements on UK ebikes - the vast majority exceed the 250W legal limit by a fairly hefty margin).
There are folk on that forum happily riding bikes with 15A (or more), 36V controllers who seem to think that their ebikes magically "lose" far more than half their battery power as heat, rather than motive power. Joke, or what? Maybe someone needs to tell these folk that the most optimistic interpretation of UK law *might* just possibly, allow them around 9A or 10A from a 36V supply (even that's pushing it, in terms of the allowance for losses that might be considered *reasonable*) and that riding around with a 15A controller current limit is just outrageously illegal................

Jeremy Harris said:Whilst having a chuckle at the UK forum was one thing, it now seems that the author of this thread, stevebills (who I don't know from Adam) has decided to cut-n-paste my post from here over there with an added bit of offensive personal abuse and libel aimed at me. I have absolutely no objection to the cut-n-paste at all, if I could be bothered to go head to head with some of those with selectively blinkered views as to what is and isn't legal I'd have posted it over there myself (I've been a member of that forum for a while longer than this one, as it happens).
What I do object to is that stevebills, who is clearly a nasty piece of work, added this text to the "quote" from here and giving the appearance that he was quoting, rather than being deliberately offensive: "MR JEREMY HARRIS NO IT ALL WHO LICKS BUMS ON ENDLESS ! " Quite apart from anything else, it's demonstrably untrue and potentially damaging to my character (and so is technically libel) but this is mitigated by the fact that stevebills is apparently incapable of spelling...........
I've reported him to the Pedelecs moderator and asked for action to be taken. What I would like to know is what on earth it is that I've said here that's caused stevebills to be so personally offensive. Give me a clue, stevebills, before you go on my "ignore" list?
