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.

The one i seen, was getting close to 70kph no problems. I would have it on dash camera.
Agreed you dont see em all that often, but ive seen many come into work that have been modified.
Theres a few brands that claim to have top speeds north of that.
I have a mate that does track racing and they converted a hybrid bike so they could use for that purpose (not to race but to lead off the race), that thing will do 80kph no problems.
Agreed, back to the pics, this stuff belongs in the cycling thread.

Don't remember seeing this at the fort, how long has this one been opened?

[jaydee]

10 years. It's a relatively new interactive experience. Very clever displays and electronic gadgetry.

Not a photo I took... BUT.. I thought it was worth mentioning. I didn't know that this was a thing from the factory, meaning, they fusked up the VIN number, crossed it out, and re stamped a new one below it.



Cheers,

It’s gone from standard BMW to Alpina, may be a fairly common thing.

Reminds me of an experience I had. Bought a Ford Focus from a dealer in NSW. It was an ex company car. Bought it for my in laws.

Drove it back to SA and then in the process of getting the rego changed to SA registration, the police got called. When they were checking the VIN they found some of the letters and numbers looked to be done by hand. They impounded the car.

Took weeks to sort out. My 70yr old mother in law was pretty upset by it all. We could provide evidence of the history of the car back to new but I feel it was a bit of a power play by the motor reg knobs.

Anyway long story short the police were able to get confirmation from Ford that it was legit but I still had to pay to get the car from the impound. The police were actually pretty good. They were just doing their job.

I've bought a few cars from interstate and the guys at the compliance checking building are generally all the same, carrying on like 'want to be' cops..... Unless you were a dealer. Dealers turn up with cars and it's amazing how quickly they get processed. Funny how many dealers sent the cute little office girl to take the cars through too.

Sorry for the digression...

Don't be (sorry).Those dudes, well the majority of them, as you said, think that they are coppers, dressed up in their clobber, with all their important guns, sorry, torches and rulers on their hips... Rossi boots etc, fusken Wanna bee's.. who know sweet F all about mods and go fast stuff.The classic for me was when I snookered a 73 TC XLE Cortina from Victoria. 2v 250 4 speed. The youngish english bloke inspecting it was stunned when I cracked open the bonnet.. as he was fresh off the boat from the UK. He said, "what the? Did you put that in there?" I said no, read the badge:He said "geez, that must go alright. We only have 2 litre jobbies back home and they go quite well". I scoffed silently to myself thinking, wonder what his voice would sound like if I showed up in my previous 302 Windsor powered TC XLE... I said to him, when your finished your paper work, I can take you for a hot lap if ya likeHe declined. Shame. It did good skids.So their not all turds. Just most of them.. lolOne Man
