Bicycles are everywhere on Chinese roads, along with thousands of electric scooters. This one indicates 50Km/h at full speed but that’s probably a touch optimistic (didn’t go full speed in this video) On a full charge with an 80Kg+ rider using mostly full throttle this one will do just under 20 miles before pedal power is needed (it’s not as hard as you might think to pedal them). A full charge costs only around 1￥ (10p) so you are looking at about 1300 miles per gallon with zero emissions (of course, with electric vehicles the emissions are passed on elsewhere to the power stations/disposal of batteries). The bikes only cost around 2000￥ (£200, £80 of that is the battery). Interestingly, the drive motor is the rear wheel hub itself, the drive chain is just for the manual crank. Update: Have now fitted a cycle computer speedo to get the true speed – max speed so far has been about 36Km/h, so about 22 Mph! Also max battery range in winter is about 25 Km, (15 Miles) before she’s just about out of juice. Should be better in warm weather.

You can’t beat a 2 stroke for safety, they are loud and drivers know you are there even when they are talking or listerning to the radio, these quiet scooters are dangerous in my opinion. Certainly don’t sit in anyones blindspot if you’re on one.

Are those pedals on there? I’m assuming you can also pedal this scooter manually?

use 55 volts or 63 volts in this motor it will go 5O km/h even more ( depend of zise of coper inside motor ) star or delta ,it”s the same motor than bicycle , scooter is uselless becus it’s heavier than bicycle and u will go mor”e slow than bicycle ,,

max speed?

: Personally, no. but there are people who want to play by the book – In the UK it can save them losing their licence before they even have one.

do you think anyone cares about the age

: It has pedals for 2 reasons… Firstly anything more than a moderate incline requires pedal assistance. Secondly having pedals (and a limited power output) classifies it as an Electrically Assisted Pedal Bicycle in most countries, eliminating the need for a licence, insurance, helmet, etc… Legislation varies country to country but in the UK 250 watts & 15mph is the limit & can be ridden by anyone over 14. USA allow a little more power but you have to be 16.

actually the cig lighter size GPS thing is deadly accurate
and connects to USB of comp to display a nice google earth map of where ya went, how long the bike was in motion, top speed for trip, avg speed , altitude ( not that it’s in a airplane lol) the unit was 46 bucks on ebay, it’s called ” I GOT YOU GPS” it recharges via USB like a I-Pod

You can put a bicucle style odometer on. I fitted one to this ebike after this video was shot so that I could get a more accurate speed reading. You just need one that allows wheel diameter programming down to the small size and need to make up a bracket to mount the sensor and screen, but they work well.

In Ontario Canada as a owner of one, the only 2 things are , ya gotta be 16, and wear a helmet, and definately stay off the sidewalk, E-bikes here are capped at 32 kmhor 20 mph, by law here and must carry a sticker saying its transport canada legal , they are allowed on bike paths, also, I have 1500 miles on mine now, using a GPS tracker , to keep track of distance, since the small wheels don’t allow a odometer , my car is now jealous , i love this thing lol

Thanks for the reply!
So do you drag these bikes into your appartment to charge them up, or is there a battery pack? I can imagine breaking down and running out of power in the city streets!
