Speakin' of E bikes..

a long time ago when I was driving my EL Fairmont Ghia on south rd one night around 10pm.. an E bike totally smoked me from zero to 80 kays an hour.
I wasn't racing him, but I did get into it a bit and was amazed at how hard they went back then, circa 2015 or so.. can't remember exactly.

I'm sure they must be Fully schick maaaate now days.. and quick to..
Might have to look into it more.. new toy? hmm

There's two types I see around here, the riding like dicks type, I figure they have lost their licence for driving like dicks or the oldies getting around on the flats doing their errands.

hate the sods with a passion, Ive found a really nice way to deter the ridewrs and those mono riders. as the pass you a nerf gun and VERY loud horn put them off their stride.

Clearly a bike thats either been modified, or something purchased that isnt legal like a Stealth B52. AU has 25km/h limit.
Ive seen it happen also, right in front of me.

Ebikes are kool, well when i say that not that kind.
For me a superlight dual suspension bike without the full fat battery and lower nm motor would be what id get. (ive had 2 ebikes in the last few years but dont have one currently)
Like this.

We had one not long ago at work, the rep bought it in for us to have a look at.
The 13k one.
It'll turn that specific category on its head!
Soz for the off topic.

.
E bikes are 200w (pedal assist) and 250w (self propelled) and both capped at 25kmh. After that the assistance cuts out. Yes, they can be modified however it's not that common. You just notice the faster ones more which makes it appear common.

Also, to do 80 on a flat road on a pedal powered bike, you'd need to be outputting somewhere north of 500w I would suggest. I'm not sure a battery assisted bike could do this. Maybe a liquid fuel was involved.

And sorry for off topic. Back to the photos.
