    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.

    Optibike USV internal pictures

    would love someone to send this to craig at opti, who says bike cannot be run at 48volt. Did you use any of their circuitry? Would love it if you could keep thread going.

    KTM Ebike

    i liked this rig too, but looks like concept for now. Anyone heard anything promising about it? Like guy above, I assumed ktm would be good stuff too. Also they have electric motorcycle that they launched and did a big deal on so I do think they may have plans in the works. Feel sorry for...

    Optibike FAQs? Dont stack up?

    Dig what this guy above said. Opti will not climb at those speeds period. And the e+/wavecrest bikes being direct drive and batt in wheel is genius. Silent, fast, even on hills, all around good bike. Kinda think it is exactly what normal person would expect of ebike. Opti seems like the...

    Thanks for the comments about flyer and your opinion. Wish more people could give straight, honest, opinions like yourself. In addition, the comment about your personal view of the different drives is spot on. Could not agree with you more.

    Optibike video by Jamie Johnson

    I do agree. Perception of noise is true. Lets use a gas powered cruiser for example, people have seen them before and no big deal. The looks you get on ebikes in the US is priceless. People don't know what to make of this contraption, and I am talking about fairly clean stuff.

    Anyone know what happened to this opti? Did he get her going at 72 volt yet?

    Optibike video by Jamie Johnson

    Perception of noise? What kind of giberish is that. When your going up a hill full throttle and motor is loud what do you mean perception. Is it really 1db? What are you talking about. A regular bike doesnt make alot of noise with slicks on them. geared motors make some noise but not that...

    Pikes Peak Bicycle Ride Aug 29, 2010 (Sunday)

    Anyone care to speculate at what speed optis climbed at on average? is it possible to figure or does coming down make it dificult to calculate.

    Pikes Peak Bicycle Ride Aug 29, 2010 (Sunday)

    Zap or Chuck, I was wondering how loud your bike is and if getting the right gear is essential for its climbing. Pretty sure you were able to ride with the opti's at start and wanted to ask about comparison of the noise factor. So cool you guys did this event.

    An optibike challenger

    I agree with the 45 mile range of opti but do not think it would go that distance up that hill. Does anyone know if this is same motor in the flyer? Anyone seen any pics of Bosch's new entry? I think will be similar also.
