About electric-assisted bicycles?

js789

I am wanting to buy an electric assisted mountain bike or recumbent (rail road tracks..seldomly for paved use)

I have a few I am looking at (aluminum) but is there anything that has it where you can charge the battery by pedaling also? (I realize the output would be small).

I'm new to looking at this sort of thing, suprised by how much there is.

2 things

-Rough RR track would be most of my terrain

-The recumbent looks alot more energy effecient/comfy--I know if paved was my preffered place this would be it hands down

-Don't care if the recumbent will give me looks, already have a wife so no need to impress other ladies.

-I want electric in case I wear out + being able to re-charge the battery with pedaling would be a nice reserve if it is out/ easy to alter.

Answer
While I am a huge supporter of electric assist bikes, off road use is not their mainstay. The vibrations play havoc on the batteries and the connections.

Recumbents don't to well off road either, mainly because you cant off load your weight by standing on the pedals. this makes the ride pretty rough. there are a few 'bents for light off road.

Bionx and Crystalyte are available with regen, bionx standard, crystalyte special order.

There may be others.

Are electric motorcycles cool?

Q. So, I am shopping for my first motorcycle. I was looking at a few bikes. A Ducati Monster 696, a Ninja 600, and a 2013 Zero S (not 2012). The 2013 Zeros have different motors and batteries that give it near 600cc equivalent performance and a 130+ mile range at a top speed of 95MPH. I am a huge EV enthusiast and I currently drive an all-electric car. I'd love an EV motorcycle like the Zero S, but there is one very important factor to consider... the "cool" factor. Do you think EV bikes like the 2013 Zero S are as cool as those other petrol bikes? Or, would the ladies be more inclined to hop on the back of a noisy ICE bike?

Answer
You have an all-electric car -- you are already totally un-cool. Nothing could make you cool so you might as well get a Zero.
