Where's the video where he hits one of those car doors he's passing at 50kph+?

Unique. Here's some lifted pics and info for when the ebay post goes away...




Originally a 2012 Felt MP beach cruiser... A 50 tooth rear sprocket gives the gas motor a top speed of 35-40mph with a 200 pound man in the seat on level terrain. Top speed for the electric hub alone is 25-30mph. When both motors are used simultaneously, it is capable of climbing the steepest hills without pedaling and able to pull away from a dead stop at car speeds.

Silent videos hide how noisy it is.

No rear brake.

What's the point of the gas motor on it? Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to have another electric motor on the front? Don't get me wrong, I like stinky, noisy things as much as the next guy (no sarcasm intended), it just seems so... unnecessary. Good looking build though.

Agh! 1st video. You have enough power to ride it like a real vehicle! You're going to get hit by a car door

Agh again! 2nd video. Same as above

A second motor up front doesn't get you more speed, only more torque. The gas motor on it gives two advantages. One virtually limitless range. And two, the greater energy density of gasoline means you don't need to carry a crapton of wh on your bike to sustain 30mph.

Also, Alan, when I watched the videos they weren't silent. make sure you have your volume turned up. :wink:

I like the frame and the look with fuel tank. I would prefer full electric but keep the look of gas tank and mid mount motor.

48V 12.9Ah and a 6 hour recharge time = 100watt charger ???

Wow - a true hybrid! Whats that thing on the right of the instrument cluster? Looks like a giant cigarette lighter or a joystick...
I don't really see the point - especially at that price - two separate applications - I would actually like a gas bike to tool around the neighborhood but need a pure electric bike that I can lay in my SUV, commute with and that is allowed on ferries and public transportation that would not allow a gas vehicle (aside from leaking all over my SUV when laid on its side!)

 

[geeeyejo1]

Wow - marked down to only $4,999 - bid now!!! lol

OK on the audio, had a problem with a headset that I didn't know about, fixed that.

Not as noisy as expected given the straight pipe, apparently the long pipe muffles pretty well, perhaps there is something inside to help.

Dangerous riding without gloves, you can see the rider in the reflections, he does have a helmet on at least which is legally required in California.

Wonder if he ran afoul of vehicle regulations, seems to have a moped plate but speeds are higher than allowed for that.

In any case an interesting design and build.
