Q. How much does the bike weigh?

File this under EV Marketing maybe...

From the ES home page link about this excellent power-assist bike:

Q. How much does the bike weigh?
A. The bike with frame, motor, and batteries weighs in at a hefty 70 lbs. The typical bike may weight from 20 to 30 lbs, so this bike is twice as heavy as what you would be accustomed to.

Wrong answer!

The "typical" bikes I am familiar with are often loaded down with groceries, so that's how I usually answer this question - by saying that my vehicle weighs about the same as a bike carrying a couple of bags of groceries!

:wink:

It's might be bad wording on my part, but the bike did weight that much before I put another 40 lbs of batteries, motors, controllers, racks, and everything else that went with it. I think now the bike weights less as the new hub motor is not as heavy as the old one was. It's an old article by now

No, just too honest <grin>

Not to be any less honest, but the bike+groceries provides a context that folks can relate to perhaps a bit easier? Can't be *too* heavy `cause we see people riding laden bikes all the time?

Just a bit of "spin", but in a good way, for a good cause.
