"The first ever FIM E-XBike World Cup" "Our goal is to develop the FIM E-X Bike World Cup for all customers and riders who want to enjoy racing on an extreme circuit in front of a massive crowd and with a great media coverage." "The racing will be opened to anyone with an electric bicycle." I...

Basically individual 18650 cells are limited to 3900mAh and as Amps are the main draw for power it stands to reason that a higher Amp rating will provide more power capability per cell. However on the other end 18650 cells can be rated well below the highest and it is up to the battery...

You gotta start somewhere..... Let's face it, if something has two wheels and a motor it is going to get raced. Putting the concept in front of a large an audience as possible will only fan the flames.

While I sympathize with the guy from Mass that is having access issues in his state and those that are in others it isn't an all across the US problem. I don't buy the fact that non legal compliant eBikes with throttles will do any additional harm to the existing problem because as I have...

A throttle has no more effect on motor output than the PAS. At these levels of wattage roosting is not really a thing. It is helpful in certain situations as a walk assist and starting out on steep grades until the PAS can kick in, weighs next to nothing to have onboard and just a tip that a...

"What I really want to see is lower weights, bigger battery ranges (which goes hand in hand with lower weights)" I guess I don't understand how you expect bigger batteries, which will in fact provide more range given equal motor output/human input, terrain etc., to go hand in hand with lower...

Any e system is programable to a certain wattage and speed limit restricted to whatever legal regulations the manufacturer allows and ultimately what the end user desires. This pertains to the old "off road use only" gambit. However if the systems base of V x A is not in sync with the motor...

Over here in the US there has been a pretty active underground movement of high power eBikes going on for quite a few years. Primarily the activity was documented on a forum called Endless Sphere and all manner of home brew from high tech to wtf builds have occurred over the years. One of the...

Hardly, GreyP has been a well respected member of the Endless Sphere eBike community for years via Zvonimir Sučić who has been designing eBikes since 2001 and after joining Rimac in 2010 he just kept upping his game. Past effort was more raw power oriented and the 6 is obviously more about legal...

Nice to see they have been hard at work refining their design....

I prefer hand signals Well not really but it isn't anybodies business but my own what I ride..

I like that color scheme better than the Capt. Amerika one at least. Have fun getting fit!

"can’t see the weight" 50.7 lb. according to the emtb-news test. Not bad for a big battery bike.

The US is a tertiary market for eBikes. More are interested here in cheap $1500 direct sales models than high end eBikes, especially with all the press on trail access issues ongoing. In fact EU models are pulling out, Focus is a big one for the eMTB scene, and another big one is threatening...

Actually it is not in a class of its own in terms of power as there are bikes distributed here in the states that have the Bafang Ultra integrated mid motor that has as much power and nm of torque with torque sensing PAS (that could be restricted easily to 15.5mph) but arguably not as...

Here in the US we have had access to powerful 1000w plus motors that will out climb bikes like the Levo easily for quite awhile now although perhaps not as refined as the TQ. But maybe I am reading it wrong and the TQ is a powerful 250w motor? I still don't see where Haibike is going with the...

A quick comparison using the BH Carbon bike used on the same track and the LaPierre as per the tests on that site shows a significant difference in performance. While the LaPierre is 10lbs. lighter it is slower with less range/elevation gain and in fact several time it was mentioned that it...

You just need to store batteries at a state of charge around 40-50% for long periods. So take a reading with a multi meter of your battery at full charge and reduce it to that level for storage. Check it every 3 month's to make sure the BMS hasn't drained it lower, if it has give it a slight...

Get a set of 29" wheels and run 2.3 spikes on them for mud use. If you bike fits 650b 3.0 then more than likely they will work. Won't effect your bb height and narrower tires do do better in the mud.

Joe Murray was in on that design and also a skunk test rider for the E8000 during development. I asked him if there were any plans for an assisted version as it looked to me like it wouldn't be easy and he didn't say no.....
