finally got one, thanks craigs list =) (with pics)

[toasterburn]

just got this one today, it was listed on craigs list for $1000, talked the guy down to $600 and he threw in a new $65 giro helmet and a lock. think I got a pretty good deal since it's like $1,100 new. just took it for a test drive, runs beautifully and climbs hills without any help at all. here's a few pics:

I like the frame! rear suspension AND room for the battery in the frame triangle. If the motor ever dies, that bike frame would make a killer start for a 35mph monster.

yea, the weight is very centered the way they have it, I made some tight turns on it with no problem at all. doubt I'll ever have trouble with the motor, it's fully sealed and brushless =)

Yeah, most people don't ride like me. I killed a hubmotor riding nonstop for an hour uphill in 105 F this summer to get home everyday. 400 miles cooked it. I did fix it but it will never be the same. luckily most of the world doesn't have our summers.

it hits 105 here sometimes. not good biking temp in my opinion.

Try 45 degs C (113 I think).

The hottest I went Ebiking in was 42C. Motor didn't mind but there weren't any hills on that ride.
