This is my electric bike. Now I'm a bus operator. because of the split shifts I used an e-bike to get to the depot, up to snowfalls. Then I have to take the battery off and store the battery indoors. Otherwise the 72V battery is toast at the end of winter. because the bike heavy frame off-roader. goes 48 clicks on full charge. No matter how small the journey, always keep the bike full charged. You can legal ride them anywhere. Bike path are just starting to ban them. You can blat about the woods to heart content. I take the bike though the woods and have had lots of fun. I have to open a panel and pull a wire. The bike will then go up to 50 KPH. But it is not legal to take on the road. on the road is it govern 32 KPH. Which means no insurance, no license. I have on my contents Insurance.  Also you need a massive chain to attach to things. Thief is common if you don't. But all in all it has been great.






The Governor









Three speeds. Low Mid High. really only makes a difference one you take of the governor



Brake Fluid has to be changed every 20,000 clicks.



The red button is so you can lock of the Ignition.

around here, only the sketchiest of people ride them...the ratio of riders and DUIs is likely close to 1:1.

You can drive anywhere. On the side walk.

It depends on the city.  Some cities have e-bike by-laws.

I like it! I wonder if I can take bike paths all the way to/from work. Hmmm..

You can drive anywhere. On the side walk. I often nip on to the trails. Or cut though a park. At the mall. I park the bike, in the bike stand. I have a meaty chain. Plus it is free parking everywhere. This e-bike has heavy duty frame.

It used to be, but more and more that is changing here in this city. Also if you have a DUI, banned, etc, you're not aloud to ride it. It is rare to be stop. I have been stop few times. Mostly at bar time hours. So they are looking. The police have the right to stop you at anytime to ask for your name and details. You have to comply and they don't have to have a reason.  You have to have the plate on the back and the pedals.


I've heard the design is suppose to to reflect a landrover defender.  It is Honda Ruckus clone.

The laws is, If you pedal electric bike on the bike trails. Then you can. You can't, if you can't pedal the bike on trails and have to use electric power. Thats law if they have a ban e-bikes.

You can't ride pedal bikes on sidewalks in many cities.

Like I said...it depends on the city.  Each has by-laws. 

E-bikes are prohibited (as are bicycles) on sidewalks here.

So Windsor isn't e-bike friendly. I sort of agree with in away. This bike would cause injury if you hit someone it is really heavy.

With with the speeds they can travel and the weight....ya, it could hurt someone. 

Like I said...check with the city.  Every city has by-laws.

Nifty rig! 

[quadzilla]

on the road is it govern 32 KPH.

I use to draft these things into strong headwinds when I lived in Toronto.

[EV Dan]

Yes I've been over taking by bike lots of time. Lol.

It is gel cell battery. I think they are boat batteries? You get can get a Lithium-ion battery for the bike. Which I gonna try next once this runs out.

[Arthur Dent]

That is pretty cool.

That is pretty cool.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

London is the same...the other problem with these is the people have no insurance, yet ride in the regular traffic lanes like a traditional scooter (which requires license and insurance)...and since their top speed is about 30 km/hr, getting stuck behind them is annoying AF.

IMO, they shouldn't be allowed the way they are...the should be licensed, insured, and have a higher top speed so they can blend in with traffic better...i don't mind the idea of them, but i don't like the execution.

Not allowed on sidewalks in Kingston either.  I don't think it's allowed anywhere on sidewalks, just like bicycles.
AFAIK, mainly for people with DUIs from what I've seen.

I also curse getting caught behind them in traffic.

The same things have been said about bicycles for countless years. They used the road just the same and are far more of a problem in break the laws. Blowing through stop sign, traffic lights. Shouting and abusing people. Driving with no lights. They are the problem really. Most E-Bikes are polite and follow rules of the roads. They are of course the few bad apple.  I can't remember the last time I sore a cyclist follow the rules.

Many of these guys are DUI people....some might dispute that they "follow the rules of the roads"

No Comment. 

The bike has a 72 Volt Gel Sell battery. Which is good for 48 Kilometers. Because it is a heavy bike. At the time I said I wanted ion lithium battery, when the battery needs replacing. The man in the shop said it was a waste of money. I disagree and I'm now wonder if I am right. is it worth extra? I think it will last considerable longer? who knows...

You mean just like car drivers.  Oh wait, I did see somebody not speeding on the 401 today but sadly it was an assclown doing only 99 kph in the left lane besides transport trucks causing a 1 km backup.
