Older non-disc (screw on adapter compatible) Amped bikes kit. 48 volts of (tired) lead. Amped bikes torque arm. Thumb throttle with wired red button as on off switch. I pretty much bought it this way almost a year or so ago. Only a few minor mods since then, mirror, speedometer, brakes, and...

So, I was wondering if you ever got your bike? Or has anyone else heard new info on these bikes? I am very close to buying one, but I have a few questions first. I would love to talk to someone that owns one, or has at least ridden one.

all of the Prodeco bikes seem to be around $1k. I have been fighting between a couple of the Prodeco models. This one just seems too good to be true: http://www.bikemania.biz/Prodeco_Tech_PhantomX_Electric_Folding_Police_Bike_p/prodecotech_phantom_p.htm (Back Ordered Until 1/10/11) but I am...

Ah, Im in transition right now. I used to work for a film company up in Santa Maria, but they had to close up shop. So now Im working in El Segundo, CA. I go back to Santa Maria on weekends, so I still live there and work all the way down here (renting out small apt in El Segundo until i find...

no i don't work for them, or get money from them. just looking for any help in finding out if this is legit. but honestly, i hope its all real. i would love to see a new company step forward, and make a great product that brings ebikes to the masses... and stand behind it. i need the bike...

http://www.prodecotech.com/index.html looks sharp, I am considering one. 2yr warranty has me very interested. I can't find anything with LifePo4, dual disk brakes, warranty like that, folding, and 46 lbs. all for about $1k with free shipping. one example supplier I have found so far...

StudEbiker, My buddy has the Elise, he let me drive it once. This car is on rails, and its a kick in the pants! It is tough to get in and out of though. It would be a pain in the... ahem, if you want to use it as a daily driver. Very nice "budget" exotic car! (compared to hundred and up...

fixed my typo... :oops:

very cool, im on the fence about geared or direct drive. my main factor is noise. i like the idea of whisper quiet DD. but i like the torque, and smaller size of the geared motor. how loud is the motor you have? also, is it disc brake compatible? I have an Ezip right now, and if it is...

the video did not flatter the bike much IMHO especially at the very end where she tells the negatives: -completely rigid -thumb throttle is in a weird place and then sighs, and says "the price we pay for beauty" tells me your paying for that arch, not the rest. i agree with the negatives she...

oops, my last post was in the wrong place...too many windows open! :oops: in the US, Sears now has tons of ebikes! R martin bikes and scooters, and a few i have never heard of! the one thing that is interesting about this, is that Sears actually might be a good place to buy from becasue thet...

freakin awesome! :twisted: but i live in California, and there is most likely a law against it here! :(

would you eventually consider trying some sort off speed runs? i would love to hear how this thing performs at higher speeds for short (5 mile) trips? thanks!

wow, looks like fun, but i dont think it is $7650 worth of fun!
