Electric Bikes

[Ruanaidh]

Bought myself an Electric Bike to commute to work 6 months ago and would recommend them to anyone. Prior to buying this bike I used an ordinary pushy for 2 years but my old footy and martial arts injuries began to affect me (knees). It was time to get some electrical assistance:

BTW you don't have to pay as much as I did to get a pretty good bike. This one has a good reputation:

Nb. It costs me 1/60th (40 cents) the price of the petrol I previously used to charge the  bike each week .

Top speed on a flat, non-peddling mode?

Top speed on a flat, non-peddling mode?

Mine operates on the pedelec system, the Australian Standard*. This system requires you to be peddling. I have four levels of assistance on mine where electrical input cuts-out at different speeds up to 28kmh. I average 30kmh on my trip. It is like you have bionic legs. I can also cut through the strongest winds with minimal effort on the highest level of assistance. I cruise past the lycra crowd in most scenario's.

They concentrate on the two bikes I mentioned but there are plenty to choose from. Just beware of ebay style Chinese generics that don't have the support of reputable forums.
