Also they drone on for like 1,000 words and never give you any technical specs for the battery, range, top speed, etc.

I would totally buy the original TC 1500W, but unfortunately it is not homologated for US sales, and dealing with import + waiting for 3 months to get from China doesn't sound like fun I hope these become available here, because the only competition in this price range is CSC City Slicker...

I would looove a Super Soco TC, and especially a TC Max, but unfortunately they have not been homologated for US sale :( I think the best deal in this price range in the US is currently Onyx RCR at 3200 shipped

What do you think of those Genze 2.0 scooters? 30mph/30-mi range They're way overpriced at $3,700 USD but they sometimes sell pre-owned ones for $2,000 shipped. Still not sure if that's worth it because that's with 6k-10k miles on the odometer, and 15-30% remaining on both tires and brake pads...

This is fascinating, thanks for the update. I've always been curious/scared to buy one of these--so cool to get an E-S member's perspective when it arrives

That's a different seller than the OP, and the weird thing is, they're claiming to be in Costa Mesa, CA, yet say that shipping is 15-20 business days, and the only thing they've sold on eBay is alarm-company yard signs :confused:

Interesting, thank you Seems like they've got tons of configurations at their Alibaba shop: https://hanbird.en.alibaba.com/ Looks like about $2,500 for 8000W? wow

Thank you, yes, it's near the top of my current list! There's a thread here, but no one has posted in it for quite some time: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=94640 And here's a huuge one over at Adventure Riders (24 pages!) with tons of useful info...

Only seeing smaller 2000W bikes in their for-sale section right now -- could they have taken them down?

They're transitioning away from Indiegogo (which I would absolutely never order from, based on previous ebike disasters like Moar) Now that they are taking orders on their website, there is no mention of "this order is a fundraiser, you might not get this, etc." Does that mean we have some...

I'm with you--I'm having trouble finding a 40-45mph one! :\

Thanks so much, Dan! When I order I'll do so from your site :)

Well I jumped in with both feet and bought the bike--now I'm stuck with it and I've got to figure this out! I think the HPC 2000w is a bit overkill--I'd be happy with 20mph, though some acceleration would be nice; my last ebike was a Currie 500w DD gearless rear and it took *ages* to get to...

Thank you both so much for the sage advice! I'm going to take it and just get a solid starter bike I can later convert when there's less chance of it getting stolen (apartment w/no bike parking)

Hi All, I'm thinking of getting this Novara Gotham 2016 bike--it has the Gates Carbon Drive belt system and a Nuvinci N360 hub transmission. It's a bit hefty at 35 lbs. If I wanted to convert this, what would the best solution be, front hub? (Something like Magic Pie?) I have an brand-new...
