Ebikes, Electric bike motors, Electric scooters...?




Mantis


Anyone own one? Know what's good or bad? Where's the best place to buy? Pros and Cons?


Answer
Don't know much about scooters, but, know ebikes and ebike kits pretty well.

For DIY kits, Cyclone-USA has a great chain drive kit that gives the best range, top speed and hill climbing., but it is a difficult installation.

For value try a crystalyte kit, a hub motor which is always an easier install.

For great features and reliability try Bionx kits.

A pretty nice prebuilt ebike is the Ezee series.

I am a support person for all of the above.

I personally own 7 ebike systems, including all of the above except for the EZee, which i get as a loaner.

for demanding applications, like tough terrain or heavy loads, got to have a chain drive cyclone. the variable gear ratio going thru your normal chain is really helpful.

But hub motors are an easier install.

Stay away from Lead batteries if you have hills to climb.

Some folks swear by the new Life04 batteries, I like NIMH, Nicad is showing very good value.

If you get an add on kit, out it on a quality comfort bike. No big box clunkers, they don't last the years of heavy high speed use.

how much demand is there for electric bikes in the usa?




answer


why


Answer
It is growing in urban and city areas but the cost and other issues such as run time will keep them from being very popular.
