how electric? if he was paddling

[powerinmotion]

that is exactly the point. you pedal and combine with the help of electric motor, you now can go for very good distance. This video was made 2006, using older technology. With today Lithium battery we can go for 300km in range in a day.

Many Canadain department stores are carrying hybrid electic bikes by Schwinn. I wonder if any of these are worth of aerodynamic modifications like wrapping or recumbent modifcations? For $500 you can beat any carbon-aero-upright bike costing thousands. What an insane industry!

WildBlue2 thanks for the comment, that is a day and night comparison with Canadian tire product. The video was back in 2006, we were only able travel 150km on single charge. Today with lithium battery we can travel 300km on single charge with the same weight. We just have customer drop off Canadian tire schwinn to be convert from a cheap electric component to much better components.

Oh my - my wife and I own the same CCM Evox's you're riding . Is that a Mueller windwrap on the front of the bike and where did you buy the windscreen ? In Calgary ? Great idea .. Thanks .

[powerinmotion]

That is the windwrap. I ordered directly from EasyRacer There are only a few bike shop carry Recumbent bike. So for accessories like Windwrap, none of bike shop carry them. Recumbent are comfortable, but limited market.

Very impressive!

[wildblue2]

it's funny how the facts get fudged between two different news reports, the second just calls it an "electric bike" that can sustain "35 km/hr". Many cyclists can sustain that over a commuting distance. I'm guessing 50km average in the first report is the real number?

Peddle your cynicism elsewhere BOZO..

Thanks "powerinmotion " . I'll contact Easy Racer then ..
