An E-bike we built in 2 weeks. Top speed is 60 MPH. The acceleration is unmatched. I am often challenged by cars for a race and never been beat. 15 horsepower max Briggs and Stratton motor running at 48V. In this video we compare it to a performance moped. We can not use it to its full potential, for risks of another broken chain. We have been through 5 chains, and 2 derailleurs.

"Top speed is 60 MPH."
And yet he isn't wearing a helmet. He said that he'd broken 5 chains. He's clearly pushing the bike's components beyond what they were designed for. If you're going to be doing that sort of thing, why not at least give a nod to safety?
Dumb.
What's dorkier? Wearing a helmet, or drooling onto your bib and feeding tube?

Re: Fastest E-Bike on the Planet
Are the brakes going to be modified? Is the chain going to whip the rider if and when it breaks? I would be careful of how I push it outside of intended design parameters.

Re: Fastest E-Bike on the Planet
Dude that is awesome. I have been wanting to make one of those for ages. I think that get rid of the derailer and have one speed for now. then you can put a heaviert guage chain on there And disc brakes are what you want
I would make the next prototype with a 26" downhill single pivot for a base.
good work. I looks a s faster than the electric moto bikes
cheers

Re: Fastest E-Bike on the Planet
Loved it, even though previous comments echoed my sentiments about safety.
The most impressive item? Engineering. We don't have to keep doing things the same way and expect different results. You know, like trying to drill our way our of an oil shortage.
