Tree Hubber Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Hey the've been using motors on Le Tour for years now... and drugs. Prices look like R20,000 - R150,000 which is off the charts. I believe these bikes have proven themselves in Europe and will catch on to some extent here although price prohibitive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGdVYHkoPlQ Given we can't stop development the fully integrated E BIKE is here. E-suspension, e-gearing, pedal assist list will be endless and as some of us are suckers for techy stuff the adage "build it and they will come" applies. It's a Human Hybrid bike.
Joe De Beer Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Was very tempted to buy one at the cycle fair in Jhb (easy motion bikes from Cape Town). For R45-R55 depending on size of motor etc. But sales guy said the 2017 battery specs are going to be much better so decided to wait. Will use it primarily for my wife to use when we go cycling when we camp and them for me to commute to work when I don't feel like a motorbike (going to groenkloof after work or so)
RocknRolla Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 If i'm dropping 40 to 50 jimmies on a motor+bike, there will be petrol involved, and it will not be ridden on a cycle track....
tunariaan Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 i hope most trails and mtbike parks ban them
