Hi Tom
I have not been very active on ARBR these past few months and I am not
really into harvesting souls to electrify them....hmmm let me rephase that,
I am not into asking people into HPVs to add e-motors, I figure people will
find me if they want to go electric. I am getting bent stores and bent
manufacturers refer their customers to me...word of mouth and all that.
I looked at the GIANT website and that is one butt ugly semi-bent.
The ECO-Speed is a company in Oregon (what a surprise there) making a
mid-drive motor for BikeEs.
The SRAM SPARC is just funny and does not work very well, no torque and it
makes a whining noise with no speed to get excited about. One of their promo
lines was...it is like you have no motor at all. They pulled the line when
they realized people went faster without it.
As for climbing trees not being a high priority for most cyclists.
You know what I meant (hopefully), re: lots of torque.
I got into e-motors when I was 2/3 of the way up a hill and noticed not only
was I not going forward, but was now going backwards and figured this was
not a good thing and the cars behind me all started going backwards to avoid
running over me. I also noticed my front wheels lifting off the ground and
figured this was not a good sign either. This was when I decided tadpoles
need roll bars.
Now I take most hills just fine and find another route for the the ones I
cannot climb...I just curse at them (they do not curse back, I am weird not
crazy).
