Uses A123s and a 500 watt motor
Wondering how much voltage can there controller handle. Look's like there's room for improvement to increase range. Who wants to be the first guinea pig?

I am the Guinea Pig.

Here is my report:

These things scare the Shet out of me. My neighbor who has less fear of falling and getting hurt, was able to ZOOM up and down the street about as fast as I can run.

Unlike all these electric bicycle experiments, IShoes are ready to go. Open box, put em on, and go!

Think these are worlds smallest Electric Vehicle. No fear of leaving them outside and getting stolen. Just carry them or ride inside where ever you go.

Excellent customer service. Broke the throttle cable. IShoes Guy offered to repair no charge. I ask him to mail me the part. I repaired and improved design with some extra heat shrink tubing. Now connector pulls apart if you yank on throttle by accident.

All in all.... Excellent design, high quality parts and works perfectly

Will sell mine. Slightly used. Small amount of dirt on wheels. Be Guinea Pig #2 Will sell for ONLY $200 includes shipping to anywhere in the USA. Send private message or email marty[at]voltev.com Replace [at] with @
