Rietti Electric Bike?

Cool electric bike for sale

Looks like a fairly sweet deal at $275. I have no room for more bikes, but this one is very cool looking. Only 24V, it's screaming to be bought and modded.

I remember when these came out in 2007 I think? There was a post about them way back then. Cast iron wheels and a brushed motor, but the body and frame would make a nice base for an impressive speed bike.

Cast iron or cast aluminum? I'd hope they were Mags or something

I dont think i would want to ride those forks anywhere !
..and, as a result i would want a good look at the frame also before i sat on it !

Yeah I recon your right, it would of looked pretty slick for 2007 but you can see some sign of the old days with those old-school lightbulbs.

There was an old thread about this bike, but it seems to be part of the lost data from way back when.

It's come up a few times. https://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49644

The fact is in 2003 it was too heavy and too 180w. Not too popular, even if it was only $449.
