    Check this out ! battery MTB.

    www.itselectric.ca

    Man this is awsome !!.

    I looked at this a few years ago and prices were out of this world.. getting better every year .. and it's finally within my range.

    This sucker bolts right up and if it goes as goos as i'm hoping.. should get me to work without breaking a sweat !!!!

    I was looking at getting a mini/pocket bike but i'd have to leave it outside and it's sure to get stolen unless i lock it down with a 100lb chain.

    no gas. no insurance, no registration.. charge and GO.

    Dude is also pretty good to deal with via e-mail.. i've sent him 100 questions so far and he's been really cool about it !

    oh.. and it's also CANADIAN available ! woot !

    Here it is... front wheel drive.. wich is fine as it has more than enough traction for the purpose. Had it out earlier and zipped around, it's hilarious to see the reaction of people when you zoom by without even a tiny amount of noise.. and not pedaling.

    And it's Sandy approved !

    Well.. after putting a few hundred KM's on the thing so far.... could'nt be happier !


    This this is awsome !!!!!!!! anyone too broke to afforc a motorbike.. but too lazy to pedal.. = perfect medium !

    Gets me to work and back ( 5 km's each way ) in under 10 minutes.. best i've done so far was 8 minutes flat.

    at 36v it tops out at 35 km/h.. can be hopped up to 72 v wich is equal to a sick amount of speed.. more than you want to go on 26 " rims !!!!! and WILL keep it's seed up in strong headwinds !!!!

    They're probably thinking,"here comes that lazy ******* on the bike again".

    Well.. over the weekend i went out and got new batteries.. went with 12 a/h instead of 7 a/h.. alot more amperage = more getup and go !!!!

    My previous battery pack was about 15 lbs total.. wich was heavy to start with.. i'm pretty sure i'm up to 30 lbs worth of batteries now.

    But.. it's a nice summer night.. cool breeze.. i just went out for an hour ride around town, sunday's are great as there is very low traffic to i have the road to myself.

    Burnt no gas.. made no noise.. got lots of fresh air.. what more can one ask for !

    LOL... Yeah i know what you mean......

    However. it gets really good range and you can tell when the batteries start to give out.. the top speed is a bit less and it's not as responsive on the throttle.. it's not good to drain your batteries to this point with Sealed Lead Acid if you want long life out of them.

    Pedaling is always an option, but with the added weight it's not much fun without the power assist. My Giant 890 weighs about 23 lbs total... my battery bike weighs in at about 70. !!!!

    It's a kit !.. you can put it in what ever you want.. as long as your forks are wide enough. you can have it in just about any wheel size.. BMX to 26" Mountainbike.

    It's thumb/twist, it will go from a dead stop, but it's better for the battery if you get rolling first then throttle on and quit pedaling.. if you want to.

    BIG hills can be done in top gear ( Tallest front.. smallest rear ) without shifting !!!!! ( I normally do it without the motor on my other bike. but i sweat bullets if it's a big one !! )

    All in all.. it's perfect for quick rips around town, beer store.. etc..

    Cops don't pull over drunk bicycle drivers around here.. so it's a blast at 2 am !!!
