Built this thing from scratch while I was at Camp Lejeune for 2 years. Had a lot of free time, not as busy as Balboa. It’s both fully electric, or fully pedal powered, but it’s so heavy you really don’t want to pedal it…
It has a 72v battery, and 100 amp controller. I have it depowered quite a bit, as I’m afraid the Okinawan police are going to arrest me, since max power for Japanese ebikes is 250w. And it has a throttle which also makes it illegal (also true for California). When fully unleashed it is capable of 47 MPH on level ground, with about a 50 mile range. Can’t wait to try this thing out in San Diego.
Tell me what you guys think. Been massively interested in ebikes the past three years, still riding the first one I built in San Diego in 2019. In San Diego they can be a real alternative to cars for commuting, but the current ebike laws are a bit too restrictive in my opinion.
