62lbs w/out battery...pretty heavy.

It looks amazing, but I have to say I would be interested to see what the proposed price tag would be AND I have to laugh at a "weight with out battery" as if you're going to just pedal it? :wink:
That said, I love how unique it looks!
E-Bikes are much more accepted these days (at least where I live) and frankly, other than the twits that assume simply because you have pedals that they should hurry up and pass you since you're going to "slow them down" or go to cut you off (unintentionally thinking again you're slow since you have pedals) a bike that is very obviously powered isn't always a bad thing, more people tend to give me respect on the road once they realize I can keep up.
On the trails, I have to wonder depending on the power your E-Bike puts out, for the 5000W+ crowd (stealth bomber and such) they might have a point, but yeah, that's definitely going to make people wonder if your'e not just riding a "legal" motorcycle especially depending on how you ride it.
Most people look at our cruiser and assume it's much faster than it is just because of it's size and style, yet when they see me being responsible with it and not speeding around the multi-use paths through the park, they get it, and it's a lot more fun to chat with people as you go by VS blasting by at 30 mph or something!
I save the speed for the sections of road where I must merge with traffic. :wink:
