pretty pricey for a electric bike

 

I've always wanted to ride a sewing machine............Not!

 

pirus of motorcycles. lol

 

Or you could tie some string to the rear wheel and use it for a weed eater........LOL

 

I don't know hoe....31 hp, total weight 225lbs AND 62.5 ft-lbs of torque.

I bet its hard to keep the front tire down, provided you are not fat.

60 mile range too....thats not bad, ....... This technology is getting real close to being fun.....just get the price down and I'd get one ..... urban assault in ultra quiet mode.... 62 ft-lb torque...that could be real fun

 

Yeah but the 61 pounds of torque would diminish relative to the RPM of the motor. For example, from a dead stop, it would snap the front tire up like nothing. But say at 50% speed, it would not be near that dramatic. The electric motors torque typically drops off relative to the rpm increase. Unless this is somekind of special motor that i am not familiar with.
As a rule, electric motors do not have the same sudden torque curves at a relatively high rpm, that an internal combustion engine does.
But from a dead stop or low rpm, yeah, that thing would hit hard!

 

for that price I can damn near get a ZX 10R!!! Now that's being GREEN!!!

 

lol. if i ever see someone riding that i might have to beat them with it.

and a whole 30hp. wow. thats almost as much as my 12 year old brothers dirtbike, or my pedal bike

for 10K i can supercharge, cam, pipe, rebuild the rearend, paint, register and inspect my firebird. hah

 

oh, and im sure id wind up with a bit more than 30 ponies
