Nobuo said:I really like how the classic and modern design meets, the result is extremely clean.
I have a basic question. Is that on the photo the single geared one?
So if you are pedalling and you stand up the feet, doesn't it the motor still working because the PAS?
There is any emergency controller cut?

It's a very nice bike!!

amberwolf said:@chas58, may I merge this with the original thread on the same topic?
TheBeastie said:I know there trying to sell it but I like to see upfront honesty in these kickstater campaigns and looking at the photos I think they were a tad deceptive in choosing darkish backgrounds where the battery pack sits, not a single white background to give you an accurate idea straight off the bat.
Sunder said:I really like the bike, OP. I've been bike-less for about 4 months now after some reliability issues. You've given me inspiration to rebuild a new model with as few parts as possible (hence fewest opportunities for something to break.
grindz145 said:Hyena said:Good luck with the campaign Troy, it looks really clean
I like the name too. Is that cheeky reference to cyclists who blood dope with EPO ?
If not you should totally run with it.
"If you're going to cheat with EPO make it the Maxwell EPO. At least you won't have a heart attack" :lol:
I have no idea what you're talking about..... It stands for Electric Powered Zero...... I would never.....
That's the official story.

I kinda want to see this thing succeed with a vengeance, and had I not just spent thousands on conversions, I would be in for one already. Thoughts, ideas? Doom, gloom?

grindz145 said:What do you guys think about a down-payment model? Would that help?

Call it "modified financing" maybe. Bankers *love* a fat order book w/folks already stepping up to put their "money where their mouth is". Yes?
Locally, ebike retailers are already financing purchase (with a thing termed "good credit rating") for near 1/2 of monthly cost of pubic transportation. (Sorry. Again. Darned "spell check". Meant to say "public" here.)
grindz145 said:Kickstarter's policy strictly prohibits financing stuff in general, but a reservation model seems to be OK... not sure... probably going to do it anyway.
Hyena said:Better lodge with the FDA for certification as well. Sounds like possible side effects of EPO withdrawal include suicidal tendencies
Troy, on a vaguely related note, I'm curious why you've gone with the name Maxwell motorbikes ? Considering this is one of the stealthiest most bicycle looking ebikes around, it's pretty much the polar opposite of an electric motorbike (unlike some of the monstrous high powered bikes many members here try to pass off as bicycles) . Do you have plans for more motorbikey things in the future ?
