It seems like we are so behind in electric bicycle compared to China, Taiwan, Netherlands, etc....

Get a nice test ride for speed and hill climbing.
Get all warranties in writing.

Try a Bionx Dealer, Bioinx is pretty reliable.

If my kill switch on my motorcycle was broke off will the motorcycle still start?

J P

Sorry guys... it is a 1982 kawasaki kz1100 .It was in storage and the key was lost also the kill switch on the throttle grip was broken i was wondering if after i get a key made if i am going to have problems with this switch being broken...

Answer
The kill switch on a motorcycle is basically exactly what it says. A means to kill the engine. It does so by shorting out the electric by grounding it to the handlebar.
If the switch was broke in such a way that the wire touched the handlebar it won't start. If it was broke and the wire didn't hit the bar it would start but render the switch inoperative.
As another said you didn't mention the make or style of the bike. If it has an ignition you can use it to shut off the bike. Some use the kill switch to shut them down. If this is the case you can make another switch easily by using what we did when racing. Attach the wire to a piece of metal, (we used a piece of hacksaw blade) wrap tape around the handlebar and the blade so that the blade has tape to keep it off the bar on one end and lays on the bar on the other. This shorts out the bike and it wont run. Now put a small piece of leather under the one end of the blade and the bike will start and run. Pull out the leather and it shorts out again. We used this in hill climbing and racing by attaching the leather by a strap wrapped around our wrist. If we left the bike the strap would pull out and the bike would kill.
