Here’s a bike that you are unlikely to see in North America any time soon. This is an example of what happens when politicians of the “nanny state” want to protect the public from ourselves. I first heard about it from an Australian poster who needed something he could legally ride on public bike paths.
Since it’s a pedelec, you only get E-power if you are pedaling, so no tickets from police with itchy “ticket writing” fingers who see you accidentally speeding along while you are not pedaling…because you installed a throttle and are using more than the allowed limit! (200W in Australia/Europe, 500W in Canada, 750W in the USA)
This was no uninformed newbie, it was endless-sphere.com senior poster Kepler who has built up a 125V Stealth Fighter! (featured here) A typical upgrade for an off-road system would be using 72V, but as they say…once you’ve had a taste of power, it can be addictive!
The pic above shows the full-suspension frame, but the E-motion Jumper product line can also be had in a more affordable hardtail, in either a top-bar or step-through frame, and it’s also available in carbon-fiber.
The front wheel has a quick-release axle and since it’s coupled with a disc brake, the front wheel is very easy to quickly remove for transport on a car-carrier, or for storage.
The battery is somewhat small at 9-Ah, but it is built into the frame, making this E-bike very stealthy.
