I used this bike to commute during summer 2008. It is a joy to ride. I find that I use only 2 gears, 18 gears is really useless. Fenders are essential for riding in the rain. Disk brakes would be very nice, as well as suspension. The LIFEPO4 battery pack from Justin eventually got out of balance but with the new BMS it seems ok now. For summer 2009 I will probably transfer the electric kit to another stronger bike. This is where I will try my LIFEPO4 battery next! WebPage |
