Tumbleweed Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Electric bikes are taking off in popularity here, much more so than the 29er Other day i nearly got my ass kicked by 2 ou toppies on battery powered mtb's who did not want to let me overtake them, luckily they took the left fork and i was going right.... I played with this bike at the weekend. It's the little brother of Silverback's e-bike, the Starke E, so it doesn't have the integrated motor, but it had a nifty USB charger port…

Tumbleweed Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 What's it charge if there's no motor or is that front wheel drive hub Looks like a Sling shot with the cable/spring thing removed The hub is a dynamo thingie. You can plug in and charge your iPod or whatever.
SwissVan Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The hub is a dynamo thingie. You can plug in and charge your iPod or whatever. No there's an idea to save energy and get fit So now you need to find out how many hours of riding it takes to fully charge a flat iPod
forkie Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Apologies if I am dof, but could someone explain what an electric bike is and how it works. Ta
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Apologies if I am dof, but could someone explain what an electric bike is and how it works. Ta it'll shock you...
NotSoBigBen Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Apologies if I am dof, but could someone explain what an electric bike is and how it works. Ta Probably something not of much use unless you're in Europe or somewhere where commuting is a culture and safe ....
Tumbleweed Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Apologies if I am dof, but could someone explain what an electric bike is and how it works. Ta Dynamo powers the engine as you pedal.

It's just such a pity they look so crap. Is it impossible to make a decent looking electric bike? Edited July 19, 2012 by Omega Man

Those Specialized jobs look quite nice.Thats the problem with affordable batteries, they take up to much space for anything else other than powering a watch
Guest Omega Man Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Those Specialized jobs look quite nice.Ja. Those are the first ones i've seen that don't look like a bulldog's erse.
