    Crash Test Dummies

    Oversight by agencies that will profit by administering fees such as registration and insurance due to the rising popularity of e bikes is inevitable it seems. http://www.bike-eu.com/news/4963/insurance-companies-start-smear-campaign-againste-bikes-in-germany.html

    http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/11/segway-2-0-german-bicycle-on-steriods-comes-to-the-us/ Hope he has DOT approval written in to his business plan.

    Picycle

    First saw this a few years ago and it was way expensive. Looks like they are still in the game and the price has come down at least enough to be competitive with the better Euro spec bikes available here like the Trek and Kahlkoff's but with a more US spec 750w motor. The smart phone interface...

At this time there is only going to be one size available, 26x2.2, but it is a good start and more will follow for sure. Basically the tire will be a DH mtb class tire that has a protective liner...

    40 kmh EU legal e bikes?

    Well at least apparently in Germany and Switzerland, but you have to get a plate and wear a helmet rather than just getting a sticker at the PO like the 25 kmh bikes do. This is good news for the EU contingent IMHO :D...

    A broke young student here was gifted a BionX system that didn't come with a charger. They want $125 for a new charger :cry: The battery is dead, no idea how long, and he wants to try and charge it up to see if it has any life. Is there something that would work instead? I have a 5 amp charger...

    Some of you may remember the Pi bike of a few years ago. A pretty wild frame design with a pretty wild price tag. Well it seems like Marcus Hays, who worked on the EV-1 team, has not given up and has gotten the price down a bunch to within the $2500 bracket. Still not cheap but there are other...

    Pimobility revisited

    Some of you may remember the Pi bike that made the rounds a few years ago. It was an odd looking truss design and cost alot of money. Few stepped up for it and the maker, Marcus Hays who worked with Iacocca on the EV-1, has kept up with the program, and while keeping the original essence of the...
