Anyone Into Electric Bikes?

[bert11]

You can get some impressive electric kits, although most are illegal as he UK law limits speeds to 15mph and motor power to 250W

I might get one for 'off road' fun; does anyone on here have one?

I'm assuming you're taking the pi55.....

Hi, not really, they look fun and I fancy building one as a project. Just wondered if anyone else has built one

Well yes....... here is a very respected F1 driver with his Storck Cosworth e-bike.


Storck Raddar e-bikes are a super quality e-bike designed in Germany with Swiss built motor, German engineered frame with full shimano XT and Deore kit.

The full bikes will be available in the UK this Spring and the drive kit (motor, battery and switch gear) will be available a little later.

Happy to help answer any questions.

Cheers,
Ian

Any decent electric bike will be illegal in the UK? 250W limit and 15mph limit - pathetic whats the specs on the Storcl Raddar bike ?

looking at ~£900 for an eZee conversion kit, but it seems too much money at the moment.

Hopefully soon there will be good kits for ~£600 which is when I would buy one
