  • Hi , I have the same set up as you.

    Can you tell me if you are running it on 24v or 48v set up with the batteries. Would really appreciate your help. Many thanks mel.

    p.s thanks for the videos.

  • I have the 48v system and really love it. It has all the performance you want and the handling is great because of the low battery position. You are in for a real treat! Enjoy

    Best Regards

  • Do you still have it if so, how did it hold up

  • Not a single problem. Be sure to maintain the tires pressure and inspect for damage. I have kevlar tires, but they are not bullet proof and you can pickup a lot of junk real quick because of the distance you can travel so fast. Yes I still have the bike and enjoy it more every time I ride it.

  • Sweet. About how fast will this setup take you? I can't decide between the 48V or 72V phoenix racer system from "electric rider". Good work!

  • I've traveled as fast as 39 mph on level pavement with a little breeze at my back. This bike was not built for speed but more for commuting. I've added front bags and generally carry a fair amount necessary items. I highly recommend the rear view mirror they offer. Works great. Let me know if I can help. Great kit!

  • Excellent. I'd like to see millions of American's switching from combustion engines to green electrics. Thanks for the post!

    You are in for a real surprise. I average 22 mph on my commute. I have been traveling over 35 mph. you will need a jacket on temps below 65 F. I recommend the rear view mirror for safety. Always wear head gear!

  • Awesome....I have front wheel racer coming. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works as well as your rear wheel racer. I'm just hoping to get to work in 30 minutes going 13 miles. That's my goal. Enjoy!
