    Any updates on the HPC revolution?

    I like the bike. Reminds me of my racing days on my mountain cycle. Always thought that might be the competition for optibike and now here it is. Hope I get to ride one. And to all that ride ebikes and buy ebike parts enjoy. Isn't that why we ride bikes with air cond?

    Pikes Peak Race--Entering?

    IMO try and set a date and see who shows? Period, show up, rung what you brung, have fun, try and not get hurt. The more complicated you get, the less fun it is. The talk about pikes was over done. How much more fun would it be to put faces to all the posts, have a BBQ and beverages after. I...

    Optibike's "twist" on 2012 Pikes Peak ride

    All this over a 10 mile asphalt climb. I like hubs too, but geez. Wish they had'nt changed the course. Unfortunately, blew it for me. Half the distance and paved. For me the talk of a different venue appeals to me, cause this one isn't the same. Wouldn't a fun ride, annual event be the...

    Kona MinUte

    Cute bike, but hard to beat a dummy. Steel is so nice on rough roads.

    E-S Stealth Electric Bike Owners

    I have to ask, can you lift fighter over trail obstructions? Rode a trail over the weekend and road was completely blocked with no way around. Trees are more common problem but slides are worse.

    E-S Stealth Electric Bike Owners

    Guess that's the problem with ebikes. The variables can drive you up the wall. What type of battery are they using on stock fighter? 48v 20ah? In write ups it says 1k what is that? Thanks

    E-S Stealth Electric Bike Owners

    Can someone tell if fighter will climb big mountains or not? Seen all this footage of bikes running around but no climbing. How bout like 2500 - 3000 of gain and still have some power to get home?

    Specialized FSR, Cyclone 1900w (pics 1st page)

    I'll I can say is impressive. All the way around. Too bad you couldn't send a pick of what your doing to a small frame builder like Brent Foes or the like. I emailed a couple years back but pretty sure the insurance thing is what made it fall on deaf ears. Great work and keep the rubber...

    Optibike mid drive

    Rock on extreme, I think you did an awesome write up about bike and what you liked and disliked. Very informative and honest in your experience. Like I said in above post there are so many options for riders, different riding styles, different needs, I just hope something like a newer...

    Optibike mid drive

    Every heard the joke bout Ferrari, drop them at the dealer on Monday and pick up for the weekend. Why else could you get any color you want with 2 - 5 thousand miles. Don't want anything to do with electric cars, ever driven a Z06. How bout BBC in just about anything? Good stuff, would I...

    Optibike mid drive

    Got to be honest. There is a bike for every person in the world and their type of riding. Including several different bikes for the rider who does a little of this and a little of that. To compare self built hub motor bike to optibike is like comparing Kia to new v6 camaro. Different period...

    Norco Empire 8150 build (page 20 pic heavy)

    Rock on, can you say mountain cycle, having flashbacks from 1996. Single pivots are good, just have to use disc brakes. pretty much mandantory for ebike anyway though, keep up the good work.
