best electric bike under 1000 image
Candid Chr
Been riding for a long time, seen a lot of changes that 50 years ago would have been deemed close to science fiction but here they are in most mainstream use, like computer activated fuel management and now Polaris has come out with an airless tire that is actually usable without being beat to death by rock-hard rubber.
So, what do you see in the future?
What would you like to see in the future?
I'd love to live and ride long enough to see a solar-powered electric bike that had around 90 BHP and weighed in at a whooping 200 lbs. High-output gel batteries ('solar' rechargeable even by starlight) and fully carbon-fiber, ceramic motor (or whatever may be better material in the future).
The list goes on.
Help me out here, I want to keep dreaming!!!!
And no flying motorcycles, they're like Flying Monkeys, just more sh!t falling out of the sky.
@ fuzzy- Like the HUD bike alert idea or a law that allows riders to mount 'vaporizers' to make cars 'disappear, LOL.
@ curmudgeon- You're full of it, but in a good way! But dreaming with coffee?!? Stand back folks, we'll need a geiger counter. LOL!
@ ninebad- Asked for no Flying Monkeys, the 'air' I get on my dirt-bike is high enough, thank you!
@ Jason- You're too young to have grown up on B

The future of motorcycles depends some on laws, some on technology. Look at current car and truck engines, compare to 2 years back- then figure the current motorcycles on road will get some of same features and the expensive ones already have them- ABS, fuel injection, cats, variable valve timing. At the same time the emerging markets want simplicity and reliability, maintainability- India has some of latest Honda technology in some of their cycles--while at same time the Baja Chetek is a copy of old Vespa and the 1950s Enfield Bullet is still selling. Some details can go to low end market- better battery option, better tires, better lights as price comes down to the old pattern price. Older Honda pushrod engines out of trademark and patent protection-and the Chinese and Indians, Indonesians are using that 'old' technology to make a low buck usable engine for various applications- quality control varies- but even the worst are improving just to sell in varied markets. Laws vary- we've seen the post from UK about the limits on engine and power size the first time riders have to go through, the US has some graduated license laws coming in various states- California with its under 150cc limit for beginners as example. Fuels vary- the diesel cycle will show up some places, the CNG/LP in a few others like India Mumbai now will spread to some other dirty cities over time. Economics factors- the Honda Cubs or derivatives running around many markets- some the 'emerging' markets like Africa, others like the large cities where the small scooter or cycle is step up from pedal bicycles but affordable to some unlike a car that requires a license to purchase,park or a owned/leased parking space like some Japanese cities and Singapore- there the students and workers who don't take a bus or cab will be on the little Cubs- some times with sidecars. The 3 wheel Samlors will be a type to watch- the legal status of 'motorcycle' lets them get away with lack of expensive car required safety features like airbags and safety bumpers- but still haul 1/2 ton of cargo or 2,3,5 people as some of the 3 wheeled Asian taxis do. A solar powered Samlor with a top of solar panels, high capacity batteries-or a low cost lead acid battery pack option for lower income market-, regenerative braking and 50cc engine extra assist drive- but 1/2 the weight of expensive Prius- would be logical in India, Singapore, New York City. your 90 hp electric cycle at 200 pounds might be in distant future- but a 25 hp 'hybred' samlor capable of maintaining a minimum 45 mph might be in next ten years- the start is running around Asia now doing 15 to 25 mph as LP gas 'tuck-Tuck' with a small battery pack for the areas where it has to shut off engine and use electric motor and as a straight electric with quick change battery packs- sort of like English Post office delivery vehicles 10-20 years back in the London and other town areas and the Ford commercial electric lorries. a 700 dollar electric bicycle is available in couple markets- top speed of 15mph, 20 mile range on battery and 40 miles on economy pedal power with electric boost at start, batter recharge at braking- and the front of frame has enough room for a 50cc engine and generator with a extra chain to pedal front sprocket- Harbor Freight has small generator for about $250.00 that looks like it might fit, they have a 79cc/3hp engine for $89.00 and the 6.5hp 212cc engine goes for $99.00 on special sales at times- so next year could maybe have a $1000.00 hybred moped available at Wallmart.. 5 years later a 125cc equivalent, 10 years later a 350/500 cc variation capable of highway travel cross country. OR economy collapses and Harley brings back the WL in partnership with Briggs and Stratton. We can both dream- but I think I need some coffee..

dirt bike for a 13 year old girl?
Q. i only know a little about them and i really want to ride them. my parents had them when they where younger and at my dads cousins house they have a track because he races. i don't want something slow and i don't want anything super fast just something in the middle. im about 5`2 if that helps at all. could you tell me the basics of riding and what do you think would fit me best by the way it would probably be used from craigslist and under 1000 i was looking at like something from 1997 or up but i wouldn't really trust one that old. also what gear would i need.
Answer
Since you have never had a dirtbike, I HIGHLY recommend you stay away from 2-strokes...they are cheaper in price...but they are harder to learn on and more difficult to get the hang of. You are one inch shorter than me...I am 5'3 and I ride a crf150rb. There are two types of 150's...the race and the trail. I'm not sure which kind of bike you are looking for to start on, or if you are even wanting to race. This bike is not cheap...but you can find them used and they are amazing to start on. The crf150f is the trail version, it will have an electric start and not be as fast as the race bike. It will also have a smaller price tag. The crf150r or rb ( note that they are the same bike...the rb is just a little taller...) is a race bike. It is a pretty fast bike, but since it is a 4-stroke it does not demand being on the powerband 24/7 making it also a pretty good bike to learn on. These bikes are also excellent for your size. The bike first came out in 06 for the race version, and I'm not sure about how far back the trail version of the bikes goes.
Besides the bike, you will need some riding boots. Try some Thor Women's or Fox Comp 5 boots.
You will need a helmet. Any major mx manufactuer makes a wide variety of helmets.
You will need mx gear ( pants and jersey, gloves, googles.) You can pick whatever brand you like best for these items. There is Fox, Thor, One Industries, Answer, O'Neal, MSR, etc.
Have fun girl! Welcome to the dirtbike world! Hope you enjoy whatever you decide to get!
