Hi Folks,
Thanks for the comments and Ideas.
As E bikes develop, and become accepted into the Main Stream of life around the world, Limits will keep them legal.
DOT has strived to offer us an opportunity, where we are not Mopeds, Low powered scooters, scooters, or motorcycles.
But, we are Bicycles, with a legally allowed assist, for the average Joe, and others to do their best with. I am not able
to do Pikes Peak without assist, and really wouldn't try it. It's an ass kicking long climb, and I am not into killing
myself. But, with the assist, I am able to ride with world class riders who can climb 12% for hours on end. So, I love
the opportunity to experience the ride, at super human speeds.
This type of 750 watt limit E bike racing, could open the door to factory E bike companies to go head to head, with
good riders, and better equipment, for the value created for all. Race developed technologies. It will help the
E bike designers to put value on the most efficient systems, like helical cut reductions, and running the power
through a gear set to reduce current draw. It will push the development of the Best E bikes. Let's call it 1,000 watts
through the cycle analyst, for around 750 at the wheel.
We need 1,000 watt hours to get to the top of pikes peak, at 500 watt draw, with a 200 lb rider, who ain't Lance. This
is the opportunity, as racing is about conserving energy, when the fuel is capped to scarce resources. I hope to see
the Audi Team, the Cannondale/Bosche Drive team, the Mitubishi team, the E motion team, the Aerobic Crusiers team,
Runbout, Optibike, FRR, and Hot shot Newbies who come to the table with something to say. This technology is the
cutting edge, and with some guidlelines, we can see some safe racing bloom into something, possibly get some TV
coverage, and crack this nut, to get some recognition, and sales. Then, we will see the developments leapfrog into
the future, where we will see fuel cells, super Caps, and who knows what for the next wizzbang tech to power our
electric drive systems.
Now, if anybody can enter, whatever they scraped together, like 300 volts on a pair of fork lift motors, and somebody
misses a turn and rolls into a ball of fire causing another forest fire disaster, than it's all over. Nobody wins. We
just can not have some E tech Motorcycle guys come in, and wreck it on us. Nobody needs to see someone get
really hurt, when somebodies strapped on lipo pack goes POP, like we see in the model Aircraft world. We have
to self regulate, until a sanction is developed to not only keep it safe, but to allow for our craft to Bloom.
With all that said, I want everyone to enter into their local rides, and ride with the roadies as much as possible,
to let them know that we are contenders. Let them know that we need to be taken seriously.
Let's work together to develop a new racing entity to provide for regulations to move our industry forward.
I propose, NEBRA, the National Electric Bicycle Racing Association.
Peace, Josh K.
Not Organized Bicycle Racing Association :lol:
