Hi,

I dont see a controller anywhere?

Is there one on your bike?

If not, arent you worried to overheating the battery or the motor?

Greetings

@IceEngine21 - The controller on the 500 watt motor is built into the motor itself so no external controller box and less wires.

does the bike recharge if you pedal or go downhill?

[epedalpower]

The kits don't have regenerative braking though not sure how effective that type of system is really and have heard it only puts minimal power back into the battery.

how do these motors do going up hills?

[epedalpower]

The motors work great going up hills though to keep speeds up and conserve battery power you would really need to pedal also. As average cycling speeds are higher you will find you can hit the hills at a much higher speed and use the momentum to carry you up. The kits make hills and strong headwinds so much easier and do a lot of the hard work for you.

@madras9096 That's right, the law is due to change though shortly to bring our law inline with EU law.. the motor power will be increased to 250W but the UK gov has accepted 250W already due to the existing EU law... the speed will still be restricted to 15mph but the existing freedom we enjoy to travel on throttle-only without pedaling will be removed on all future new bikes sold once the EU law is adopted. From what I understand the EU law won't apply to bikes sold before the law change tho.

@rckidcam1994 From what I understand it would be illegal in the UK. There are regulations covering the power output and maximum power assisted speed for e-bikes. I think these limits are 200W and 15MPH.

I sold all of my electric bicycles after i got a 66cc gas powered motor kit for 130 dollars brand new from zoom bikes. I wasted thousands of dollars here in vancouver canada from local electric bicycle companys. Trust me when i say dont waste your money on electric bike stuff which will cost you thousands of dollars when for 130 bucks you can have a way better bike.plus it doesnt take three hours to charge, i can get a hundred miles a gallon.Just make sure you wear your helmet then cops stayway

Hi

i was woundering how this bike fits in with the legal side of things.

does it class as a moped ?

did the bike need testing to make sure it complies for road use?

thanks

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

Also, I have some questions maybe here can be answered:

my electric chair is here, under "malanga13" videos. Uses 2x 12v 10ah batt. can I add one more keeping the same current in order to increase range? or can I buy bigger batteries for longer range (speed is gradual, 0 to 15 mph). And last, if I reverse the cables, will I get reverse? I use it as wheelchair only, slow crawl. motor is 300 w, 24v. Any one can help me much appreciated, need to buy batts soon.

[malanga13]

it looks great. my only concern would be that it is top heavy because of the battery. In Cuba, the few electric ones I've seen had the battery mounted in front of the motor. In essense, almost same set up as here, with the motor at the bottom, and the battery would continue at the same horizontal level, past the pedals, and sit in the front. I rode one near my house for 4 blocks and I never once felt out of balance. However, my own, which has the battery on top as this one, is unbalanced. Great!
