but wait , these motors stop the bike too so if you go down a hill would it stop you going fast? cos then wouldnt you have to turn off the electricity supply and "pedal" it. but then you have to reach back. why didnt they put the power button on the handlebars?
Too bad they are not so popular here in Romania . I live at 45 minutes of walking from my college , and there's no bus line i can take to shorten my path , i'd love to ride one of these every morning to college
Yes, Busettii Bikes have the good pedaling system so you can use it as a bike or pedal with the motor. I have one and it runs about 75--85 miles per charge but you can also pedal like a regular bike. Also, it really goes fast even in throttle mode. Check out busettii dot com if you need more info. ciao
I have a Mini 40 Mile Busettii bike and it runs 50-55 miles on one battery charge. I also tried my friends Vortex Mountain bike by Busettii. It ROCKS ! Can get up to 32 mph top speed, and on one charge that bike set the new record of 86 miles. Hope it becomes a big hit. In California many people like Busettii because they cost around $1700 but can go 50--86 miles on one charge depending on model. Maria in Cali
cool some one that has the same bike my dad gave me his and I have to fix it up and to tell you its hard to find motor brushes for it I got some dyson brushes and shaved them down to fit I tried to change the sprocket for more speed but fear burning out th motor so put the ariginal back in I want it to go like crazy fast one day all in all great bike
Cool video, great to see one of these e-bikes in action they look fun to ride.. I'm considering buying one myself but there's so many things to consider and different models.. I'm undecided whether to go for a scooter-type bike or a conventional looking bicycle like in your video. I guess with a conventional looking bike it would be safer and there's less chance of being pulled by the cops every 5 minutes.
I'm sorry, maybe I missing the point, a bike is made for excersize right, why do you need that electric motor? my legs put out way more power than that motor.
Lol after playing it 2times.. he does sound like the joker.. So funny.. 5 stars for the clean look.. Alot of ebikes look dorky and bulky with bags and other crap attatched to it.. But this one is clean!
Charge time 6hours. I weigh over 300 lbs had back and knee surgery. I rode it 12 miles in 46 min pedaled until legs burned rested a bit by burning motor then as soon as I could returned to pedaling. I am in horrible shape but made great time. After 12 miles the battery needs a charge so if your trip was 6 miles flat ground you can round it easily Tows a trailer well w100 lbs of freight. If U R lighter batt will last longer? PS I know I am heavy when I was young I was fit tornado broke my back
They call that an electric MOTOR for a reason....
because my professors at MIT would say there's no such thing as an "electric engine".
PS, the definition of "engine" is 200+ years old. A gas "motor" in a car....isn't....it's an ENGINE because it BURNS fuel. BTW, electricity is not a fuel, it is not "burned'....it is merely used as an energy carrier.
No le encuentro sentido motorizar una bicicleta y mas una Mongoose, se siente muy bien pedalear y andar en ellas.. eso hay que dejarlo para las abuelas ;)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ehhh, kinda defeats the whole bicycle for exercise idea but whatever. Hey! paste me a link to Dominoes so I can order me up a snot topped pizza with extra fart sauce.
I'm to lazy to pick up my cell phone and order out.
This bike is very good for $300 new. The bike is extremely heavy and lowend parts, about the quality of a $70 bike at Walmart. The rest of the $300 is in the motor. The battery is NiCad = very heavy. Lithium ion battery bikes starts at $1200.
You can use all motor on flat terrain like a moped, but lessens battery life. Full power + pedaling, the hills feels like a flat road. Max speed is ~18 MPH (verified with GPS and school's track). U can ride this to work and not be all sweaty (somewhat)
my laptop isn't able to play sound from online video. I will check out this video on another pc when I get the chance. My use for the bike would running wrrands and possibly to and from my job, sound to me couldn't be worse then traffic.
best electric bike for me 1. Optibike OB1 2. new schwin shaft drive front electric motorized wheel mountain bike. Cheap bolt on kit for a mountain bike will do for me . Any used Optibikes out there. New used and condition. Drop me a line:)
I find this rather amusing. Most bike enthusiast know you can get a inner tube that can be used to replace a flat tire without taking the tire off. The ideal had been out there since the 40s. It's also funny how it sounds like a attempt to discourage the purchasing this bike so by xmas time there no longer available on line or anywhere on the internet. Buy them all and double your price. This bike and any more like it will be hot items for a long time. I did find one after xmas, $350.
How does one fix a flat rear tire on that bike? What do you do when your stranded 5 miles from anywhere? I am a bike assembler mechanic at Walmart for 7 years and for the first time we are selling the mountain bike version,they have the same motor drive system. The manuel doesnt tell how to fix a flat rear tire. Our bike books doesnt say how either. Once you unbolt the back wheel you cant remove it because you cant unplug the power cable or you need special tools to disassemble the drive unit.
I try to be truthful with my customers, 4 of them came in a month ago and none sold, mostly I think the 398 dollar price scares them away, but thats kinda cheap for an electric bike.
i might get one of those for my 43rd birthday im just getting back in to bmx mechanics and i need a way to get to work cause my parents wont drive me so im getting one of these
Rear wheel. The freewheel is mounted on the wheel's hub. Most of them have 7 gears or cogs going from big to small in sequencial order. The second single cog-free wheel is on the motor shaft so the motor won't drag on the bike when theres no power to the motor.
There is a freewheel on the right side (as all the normal bikes) and another one of the left side. The motor doesn't have any freewheel.
I'm looking for a bicycle hub that has a freewheel on the rigth side and another one on the left side, both rotating forward (like the hub found on this bicycle).
For a specialized part like that you can call the 1-800 number in the owner's manuel to order it. The only other kind I have seen was a double sided hub on those trick grinder bikes. They are not electric.
I bought my electric Mongoose (CB24V450) about 3 years ago and have got to say it's been a blast. The ONLY improvement I see in your bike is the fenders. As I was riding to work, I never knew that water splashed and hit my back leaving a nice black streak. Thank God no one told me for 3 days. :(
I own the same exact bike. I used to take it everywhere until about a week or so ago wen the nut that hols the motor sprocket on fell off. I managed to find the sprocket but the nut and key are gone. On the bright side, while replacing them I'll be fashioning a solar panel sun shade to supply energy for slow cruising. So hopefully I can send you a vid of my modifications when they're done.
In Louisiana it is considered illegal they can really make me hurt if they stop me. With a CDL I could loose my job should I be found guilty of driving a motorized uninsured unregistered vehicle without a helmet.
It's not about being lazy. It's about finding another way to commute to work. I don't know about you 'clyde', but I for one don't want to show up to work drenched in sweat.
why would you even bother, until they bring in the new technology batteries ile be satisfied, until then im ganna destroy the enviroment with unleaded fuel mates.
Look at all the views some of these electric bike video clips are getting? How many of them go a bona fide 27 miles per hour and can go for over 10 miles per charge without pedaling a stroke? The Electric Horse™ does and I have a patent pending that will be approved some time in June. Sad to see all these people wasting $ on ? bikes instead of the answer bike Wiscokiddd: Electric Horse(tm) on you tube!
That isn't a problem wal mart sells many varieties of electric bike. The one I should have gotten was the folding electric because I have both the full size bike and the folding bike Had I gotten the folding electric I could take it with me in the truck and would have a range of 5 miles one way and in a truck that is good enough for me. Plus with the electric I could use the trailer I got at WM the trailer can haul 100 lbs all I need is 50.lbs for groceries laundry.
Laws vary from state to state my state the law says it is a motor vehicle regardless of the speed. Louisiana. There is a website that tells you the laws from state to state. Google moped state laws you will find that site. Remember ignorance of the law is no exception for if we could claim ignorance we would all claim ignorance.
The law states for ANY state, that if it is powered by gas engine it must be registered and you must have a license, that varies from states to state, in florida if its under 40cc you dont need a license, but for ALL states an electric motor requires no license or registration, as it is not considered a true automobile.
La.A motorized bicycle shall only be operated upon the roadway of the highways of this state by a person fifteen years of age or older who possesses a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement and shall not be operated upon sidewalks, interstate highways or impede traffic flow.2. No person may operate a moped or motorized bicycle without adhering to laws governing the operation of motorcycle including the wearing of approved eye protectors or a windshield and the wearing of a helmet.
MOTORIZED BICYCLE - R.S. 32:1(41) defines as a pedal bicycle which may be propelled by human power or helper motor, or by both, with a motor rated no more than one and one-half brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding fifty cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and which produces a maximum design speed of no more than twenty-five miles per hour on a flat surface Google MOPED LAWS it is there in black and white. No argument. This bike by La law is illegal to use on the road.
About the only way I could fight a ticket is if I have Dr. testimony that I use the bike with a motor b/c of a handicap and the vehicle can be ruled exempt from applicable laws classifying the device as a necessary device for mobility due to handicap aka wheelchair. I have a handicap license/ID and could make that argument. Back surgery and knee surgery have diminished my ability to mobilize consistently under my own power. I have to rest after walking so far due to intense pain.
I have to admit in this parish the popo don't bother with bs I have blown an unopposed 4 way stop sign and the popo just shook his finger he knows stoping is bs they have looked hard at my electric bike but never went after me b/c it is bs. But in St.Mary parish they are PIGs not cops they will pop you for anything they can make a buck on. You want a ACLU law suit walk in Morgan City or ride a bike the popo will hassle you just for that. The town has a vagrancy law and almost anyone is Guilty.
I have had major back surgery and have gained weight I wanted a way to get to work 12 miles away in urban driving. The bike allows me an out of shape 320lb handicapped man to get there consistently in 50 min time with a 5 min H20 break in the middle. I hooked a trailer to it and can get to wal-mart and back with some 50 lbs of groceries 12 mile round trip. Once back in shape I will use the giant mountain bike as my commuter but I have to undergo the knife one more time knee surgery 3/18/08.
There are better electric bikes out there. My goal is to loose 80 lbs by then I could be effective in riding the excellent bike I owned prior to this purchase. This bike was $300 delivered to a walmart and that is good since delivery is a great part of the online cost. Since these are not well known you can't really get a test ride anywhere local. But in a small town this can greatly improve your life. Provided the cops don't cite you for having an unregistered uninsured motor vehicle.
My advice is see a cop pedal without the motor. Most cops cruise with windows up in the AC. But this is Louisiana and the police love to let you know you are in a corrupt state. Other states have laws that allow you to use a moped Google moped law and you will see all the different laws out there our nation doesn't care about saving fuel they make money from sales of fuel, insurance, etc. I got this set up as a if too if there is no oil I have the equipment in the shed.
Laws vary from state to state my state the law says it is a motor vehicle regardless of the speed. Louisiana. There is a website that tells you the laws from state to state. Google moped state laws you will find that site. Remember ignorance of the law is no exception for if we could claim ignorance we would all claim ignorance.
The only problem I could think of would be with cold weather... I live in Minnesota and it gets really cold and it affects lithium batteries for example if I accidentally leave my mp3 player in my car overnight it will say the battery is dead if it is too cold. Would cold weather affect electric bikes?

Rear wheel. The freewheel is mounted on the wheel's hub. Most of them have 7 gears or cogs going from big to small in sequencial order. The second single cog-free wheel is on the motor shaft so the motor won't drag on the bike when theres no power to the motor.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
There is a freewheel on the right side (as all the normal bikes) and another one of the left side. The motor doesn't have any freewheel.

I bought my electric Mongoose (CB24V450) about 3 years ago and have got to say it's been a blast. The ONLY improvement I see in your bike is the fenders. As I was riding to work, I never knew that water splashed and hit my back leaving a nice black streak. Thank God no one told me for 3 days. :(

I own the same exact bike. I used to take it everywhere until about a week or so ago wen the nut that hols the motor sprocket on fell off. I managed to find the sprocket but the nut and key are gone. On the bright side, while replacing them I'll be fashioning a solar panel sun shade to supply energy for slow cruising. So hopefully I can send you a vid of my modifications when they're done.

In Louisiana it is considered illegal they can really make me hurt if they stop me. With a CDL I could loose my job should I be found guilty of driving a motorized uninsured unregistered vehicle without a helmet.

Look at all the views some of these electric bike video clips are getting? How many of them go a bona fide 27 miles per hour and can go for over 10 miles per charge without pedaling a stroke? The Electric Horse™ does and I have a patent pending that will be approved some time in June. Sad to see all these people wasting $ on ? bikes instead of the answer bike Wiscokiddd: Electric Horse(tm) on you tube!

That isn't a problem wal mart sells many varieties of electric bike. The one I should have gotten was the folding electric because I have both the full size bike and the folding bike Had I gotten the folding electric I could take it with me in the truck and would have a range of 5 miles one way and in a truck that is good enough for me. Plus with the electric I could use the trailer I got at WM the trailer can haul 100 lbs all I need is 50.lbs for groceries laundry.

I wouldn't buy the whole pack, just replace the internal sealed lead ones, infact I'd probably upgrade to lithium.

Laws vary from state to state my state the law says it is a motor vehicle regardless of the speed. Louisiana. There is a website that tells you the laws from state to state. Google moped state laws you will find that site. Remember ignorance of the law is no exception for if we could claim ignorance we would all claim ignorance.

The law states for ANY state, that if it is powered by gas engine it must be registered and you must have a license, that varies from states to state, in florida if its under 40cc you dont need a license, but for ALL states an electric motor requires no license or registration, as it is not considered a true automobile.

MOTORIZED BICYCLE - R.S. 32:1(41) defines as a pedal bicycle which may be propelled by human power or helper motor, or by both, with a motor rated no more than one and one-half brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding fifty cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and which produces a maximum design speed of no more than twenty-five miles per hour on a flat surface Google MOPED LAWS it is there in black and white. No argument. This bike by La law is illegal to use on the road.

About the only way I could fight a ticket is if I have Dr. testimony that I use the bike with a motor b/c of a handicap and the vehicle can be ruled exempt from applicable laws classifying the device as a necessary device for mobility due to handicap aka wheelchair. I have a handicap license/ID and could make that argument. Back surgery and knee surgery have diminished my ability to mobilize consistently under my own power. I have to rest after walking so far due to intense pain.

you just contradicted yourself. The law states for ANY state... must have a license... that varies from states to state... you dont need a license.

I have to admit in this parish the popo don't bother with bs I have blown an unopposed 4 way stop sign and the popo just shook his finger he knows stoping is bs they have looked hard at my electric bike but never went after me b/c it is bs. But in St.Mary parish they are PIGs not cops they will pop you for anything they can make a buck on. You want a ACLU law suit walk in Morgan City or ride a bike the popo will hassle you just for that. The town has a vagrancy law and almost anyone is Guilty.

I have had major back surgery and have gained weight I wanted a way to get to work 12 miles away in urban driving. The bike allows me an out of shape 320lb handicapped man to get there consistently in 50 min time with a 5 min H20 break in the middle. I hooked a trailer to it and can get to wal-mart and back with some 50 lbs of groceries 12 mile round trip. Once back in shape I will use the giant mountain bike as my commuter but I have to undergo the knife one more time knee surgery 3/18/08.

There are better electric bikes out there. My goal is to loose 80 lbs by then I could be effective in riding the excellent bike I owned prior to this purchase. This bike was $300 delivered to a walmart and that is good since delivery is a great part of the online cost. Since these are not well known you can't really get a test ride anywhere local. But in a small town this can greatly improve your life. Provided the cops don't cite you for having an unregistered uninsured motor vehicle.
cdltpx 3 years ago
My advice is see a cop pedal without the motor. Most cops cruise with windows up in the AC. But this is Louisiana and the police love to let you know you are in a corrupt state. Other states have laws that allow you to use a moped Google moped law and you will see all the different laws out there our nation doesn't care about saving fuel they make money from sales of fuel, insurance, etc. I got this set up as a if too if there is no oil I have the equipment in the shed.

I do the same exact thing, see a cop, start pedaling, it's perfectly legal but why bother with any hassles.

The only problem I could think of would be with cold weather... I live in Minnesota and it gets really cold and it affects lithium batteries for example if I accidentally leave my mp3 player in my car overnight it will say the battery is dead if it is too cold. Would cold weather affect electric bikes?
