Anything To Say About The Xing Middrive?

[skyungjae]

Yeah, I hear all your concerns regarding the big tradeoffs between power, range, maintenance, number of moving parts, and all the other hidden variables never noticed until the big breakdown or the big letdown.....but I'd say if I had to own ONE e-bike, i'd be the Xing, THEORETICALLY. Right now I ride 2 "old technology" e-bikes- a totally upgraded Currie "e-ride" and a Synergy with a huge makeover- you wouldn't recognize either, as the stock one's are ugly. I can work on both, get parts, and deal with them like it's no big deal. Have you ever tried working on a NuVinci drive train? Then you know what I mean. There are alot of bikes that are impractical, too high-tech, not to mention downright impossible to get parts for, so I deal in the old school retro universe, where you don't have to worry about things wearing out because they can be fixed within minutes. Anyway thanks for listening to my babble, as I enjoyed listening to yours!

That's cool. What works best for one person is very subjective to purpose of use and personal styling. That's one thing I love about the variety of e-bikes/e-bike kits that are available off the shelf. There's a kit or an e-bike that would fall under the majority of individual's specific needs/wants.

I hope much success for Xing. It looks like a fantastic, efficient, robust kit for those concerned more about weight rather than sheer power. :wink:
