Noel-27 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hello.... Posted 2 ads for electronic bikes within the classifieds last week , quite a few views but no comments ? would love to hear what your guys general opinion is on the bikes ...massive in Europe , will they take off in SA do you think ?
Skylark Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Mmm electric or electronic bike, that is the question?
BBN Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Eskom might be the thorn in the side here, if they are electric not.........electronic!
Noel-27 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Good Morning Skylark and BBN...... What would you call the bikes pictured with 36 Volts and a rechargeable Lithium battery... Electric or Electronic ? I have very little experience and would appreciate your input ... Thank you.......
Noel-27 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Thank you ....without sounding to silly what would be the difference between an electric bike and an electronic bike ? What do you think of the mountain bikes ?
Tri - Rich Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Eskom might be the thorn in the side here, if they are electric not.........electronic!Fortunately the bikes have pedals for those Eskom moments
RABUBI Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Basically they might be more for the lazy people, none of them around here...
Tri - Rich Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 personally I prefer to pedal but for those people that have challenges that some of us are fortunate not to have, they could at least open the door to them getting out on a bike - I like them
Noel-27 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Or possibly for the less energetic or older individual ? not so much lazy I would say...there great to casually cycle with and then when one is feeling tired switching over to "electric mode" taking your feet off the pedals and enjoying the scenery.....
Noel-27 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks Downhill Junkie...I agree with your post....it gives the less fit individuals or those with challenges the opportunity to get out there....they honestly are such fun bikes...
DIPSLICK Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I SAW ONE AWESOME ELECTRIC BIKE AT MANKELE I CANT REMEMBER IF IT WAS A GHOST OR A GIANT, FLIPPEN IMPRESSIVECAN ANYONE REMEMBER HE WAS DOING DEMOS THE WHOLE DAY I WANT ONE
Noel-27 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Where's Mankele..? These bikes are sooo cool to ride.....
Shebeen Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 it's an E-bike. I've ridden one of these, they're actually surprisingly awesome. made by BH/spain - would suggest it to anyone who wants to ride but is battling a bit.http://www.easymotion.co.za/wp-content/uploads/neo-race.jpg http://easymotion.co.za/
Belgian biker Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Here in Belgium, there's a discussion going on whether or not there should be a speed limit of 25km/h for e-bikes! This is by people who think they are dangerous because they are too fast (some even go upt to 45km/h) .to be precise: the law proposition says that the bike's motor should automatically switch off above 25/h. You can cycle as fast as you want but with your own leg power.problem is: there's no police equipment to register bike's speed i'd rather have the police making our streets more bike friendly first!
