electric bike super fast neukin 48v killer!!! 63MPH

[gogo]

I was surfing around today and found video of the bike that once hosted the Perm 132 I bought on eBay. They had this web page about it also. After some internet sleuthing, I found a forum entry explaining how they wanted to use the Perm to make hydrogen in their race car.

I understand that is an old picture.

Are the SLA batteries really slung that low?

How long will it go 63mph?

Does it have bicycle pedals?

Rhetorical question: if a two wheeler has no pedals, is it a bicycle as we understand the term?
or an e-scooter/cycle, with all the negative PR aspects created by making 'fake' bicycles to undermine local and federal laws,
which will eventually remove ebikes from general use: license and insurance required: motorized vehicles.
Still: the very rare and fast ebike gets under the law and I have nothing against them except for fear that they will make public, political enemies some day.

We in the USA have it very, very good at present. Let's not become the UK.

They didn't have the batteries down low in the video, and my guess would be because that wouldn't work well on city streets. The passing on the right manuver in the video looked rather foolhardy. Its a good thing that the bike has been dismantled.

I can't see any pedal!!

Should it still be an eBIKE

" bada boom" to all of the above realisitic inputs

Without your helps it would smell like a sewer down here.

That bike was very fun... but it was taken apart to put into a car. (i think passing a car on the right on a bicycle isnt as bad as a car passing a bike on the left, given the car is usually going faster and has more weight to kill)

That same motor was put into a honda crx and the car went about 35mph on the same 4 pc680 batteries.. ya i know the batteries were lame but all the project could afford. That motor ended up being sold as the axe 4844 400amp unit blew up for the 2nd time and at $400 a pop it was time to call it quits until the project had more funds sitting around.

That video is one of my classic vid :wink:

That was impresssive and congrat for puting the battery exactly where they should be... at a low center of gravity spot! :wink: just like you did

The lower the COG, the lower the handling limits (bikes are opposite of cars). Lower COG just gives the perception of a lighter vehicle to the rider, but always requires higher lean angle for any given g-force corner, limiting the potential cornering capability.

This is why you see modern streetbikes putting the most heavy parts up higher and higher, like the engine/tranny shafts, fuel, etc.

Wow 2009 thread.. I bet that bike would try to go straight when you leaned it over!

Ah... you know more about that than me Luke, that might be an impression as you say...

that apply with my Giant DH comp... the handling at 106kmh was pretty good and the cornering at over 90kmh was like a motorcycle.... the battery was right in the frame triangle...
making the COG right between my legs and not my foots

That make me think about the Lowell vid of the 50mph ebike back in 2007 with the LiCo cells and the X503....

another great inspirating classic!!!
