How do you roll? - Show us your bike!!!

Yeah electric are cool and silent....I find some of the HP claims a bit much, but that guys is going almost as fast as a geared engine bike.

 

[blackcherry06]

4hp and immediate torque would have to be a blast on a mountain bike.

 

[Pablo]

4 hp? In that size motor and those batteries? I need to see the proof.

You want to haul around a bike with an 11 kg hub motor, not to mention a battery?

 

[blackcherry06]

Why would I be hauling it around??

 

[moribundman]

Oh, you intend to use it exclusively as a two-wheeled, powered wheelchair? Why not get a moped or a scooter then?

Here's my current commuter (2003 Fuji steel):

Converted it to a singlespeed.

That looks almost identical to my bike. Does your Fuji have R500 rims?

my toys:

an '08 norco sasquatch and an '03 4hun.
i bought the '08 brand new in march, and bought the 4hun used. it was cracked so i rewelded it and it's been pretty good since.

the sasquatch is my do it all 6" travel bike, the 4hun is my 4" singlespeeder for tearing up the street. 36 and 31lbs respectively.

This is my geezer mountain cruiser. It's a 25" aluminum frame Giant (Taiwanese) bike with the added comfort features:
C-9 gel seat
alum pedals
Geax evolution hybrid tires
Wald 870 mini ape handlebars
1" stem riser to fit handlebars
Suntour comfort grips
I had to install longer cables for the brakes, but since the shifters wouldn't fit right on the handlebars anyway due to the bend, I was able to use the existing cables for them. I just slid them lower on the bars.
