E-bikes: Anybody have one?

[Martinjmpr]

Went camping this weekend with our little camper group and one of the members had a pair of these little E-bikes called the Rad Mini:

Anybody know anything about electric (pedal assist) bikes? Anybody have one that they want to rant or rave about?

Just stop in to a Pedego store, they have a number of styles that you can try out and rent to see what works best for you.. They have stores in Boulder, Denver and SouthEast Aurora.

Interested. Thought I'd make my own in down time if I had cash to burn. Watched many YouTube videos. There are some crazy bikes out there, but they get expensive in a hurry when you're taking about full suspension mountain bikes that will do 40+ mph.

I have used a electric bike called the quiet cat and it was pretty awesome. Needed a few gearing upgrades but overall pretty sweet set up.
I also quickly tried and electric bike that was made from a mongoose bike and it was front wheel drive and that thing needed some serious work. Wasn’t very happy with it in the short time I tried it out.

I'm surprised you're admit to even knowing what a bicycle is, let alone riding one.

Road bikes are for douchebags! There, is that better!
And yes I still honk when passing them on a double yellow as required by law!
And yes I think they need to pay registration, road tax, e capable of doing the punblished max speed on the road traveled and follow all the same laws as a powered vehicle!

Now for electric bikes, they can make some money off OHV stickers for these e bikes.

Send a PM to Batteriesnare. He’s got connections in that industry.

The quiet cat is an awesome unit, but a tad pricey for my needs. Built for the outdoors & hunters, nicely thought out.

I figured you were trying mountain bikes.
