A bicycle thread.

mine thats in my pic above my name is a class 2. but in 1 minute with no tools it can be made into a class 3.. but its big and heavy and the brakes was very loud till i took them apart and sanded the pads a bit then put it back

 

[raggie33]

im not sure if class 3 is legal here or nott

If that's the case, I would take a normal bike, and make it an e-bike yourself. Check out grin technologies. Or look at something called a BBSO2. Either will get you over 30 miles an hour.

while peddling? mine only does 30 if i pedal well i just have to move the pedals must have a sensor id guess

Ya. You can install a throttle. Depending on the battery, you could do 40-50mph but you'd use up the battery fast

Timing is everything. I found this thread after rummaging in my garage, I have a half dozen "semi-pro" bmx bikes from about 10 years ago that belong to a friend's son taking up space at the moment. I need them gone, lol. My 25 year old aluminum frame Univega mountain bike hangs in the rafters, lol. It was pretty cool back in the day.

My knees can't take pedaling, so I'm more interested in the more powerful, longer runtime pedal-less ones. Is that an entirely different class? What are they called, and what do they cost?

ummm... a... motorcycle, moped, scooter.

LOLz

I just bought myself this bike. I wore my old bike out. I ride every day, weather permitting. I paid about $550 for it. It is really nice. I don't treat myself to many things and my wife insisted that I get it. I really like it.

nice!!!

how many pair of shoes did that cost ya?!?

LOLz

Good one! You would not believe how many shoes my wife has (well over 250 pair). I must say, she is actually the one that insisted I buy the bike.

 

[raggie33]

think a 20x2.0 tire can fit where a 20x3.0 tire is? the 2 inch wide tire is way way way way easier to find

So long as it also has a throttle no need to pedal. Just use the pedals as footrests. My brother has these two:

He bought the Ecotric first, then wanted something with longer range, so he bought the Aniioki. He added quite a few accessories to both. There's a software setting to disable any speed governing. Without it, the Ecotric gets to mid 20s on a fresh battery, the Aniioki high 20s.

I don't have an e-bike (yet). Here's the one I'm most interested in so far:

Don't know why the link is showing the max speed as 50 mph. It's actually 35 mph, which is close to as fast as I feel like going given the poor condition of many streets here.
