Electric Bicycle

As long as you don't try to sell anything while moving uphill...

ooh pedaling actually

I would like to thank you all for attending this meeting of Anonymous Anonymous(AA)....I'll kick it off, Hello my name is Anonymous,,, and I'm anonymous...

OOPS! Wrong group. I was looking for Idiots Anonymous.

By electricity. No. Varies. Next question please.

It's much more efficient going downhill and it will even go faster downhill, especially with no hands on the handle bars!!

Look mom no hands

Look mom no teeth.

Electric bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Depends on how fast you want to go and how far...They start around $450 up to $10k...or you can just get a kit for about $300...

well nobody shared the physics of a person weigh 80Kg trying to use only electric power to move 60 degree steep uphill ?

How much HP?

1. Without a specified speed, this question is meaningless.
2. If this is just a wheel, the coefficient of friction is probably too small for it to work. Please attempt to show your math, if any.

"... to use only electric power to move 60 degree steep uphill ?"

60 degree uphill? Yikes!

One horsepower per degree of incline should be enough.

You're going to need some serious traction just to keep from falling off that 60° hill.

Sounds like an application for the LynDoor™ StickyTire™ System.

Perhaps the StickySeat™ should be considered as well.

I was thinking about the LynDoor™Backpack Gravity Multiplier. But then, properly adjusted, that engineering marvel would completly negate the need for any pesky electric motors.

And, since it's solar powered, he'd not need any heavy batteries, either.

Another problem solved by the great minds at LynDoor™Industries.

60° holy crap....Yer gonna need the ferrari of electric bikes,,the hillclimb champion of the world,,,and at 10K, a real bargain, or $17k nicely equipped ...The Optibike!

Optibike R Series

The 2011 Champion in the Pikes Peak Assault on the Peak hill climb and undefeated in competition, the Optibike R-Series is designed from the ground up for long range touring, off road rallying, and low maintenance commuting, in one sleek package.

**NEW in October, 2011*** The R-Series bikes are available with an off-road only 48V, 1100w motor with an all new battery system featuring Cool Carbon Technology. The 1100w Optibike propelled the 7 member Team Optibike to take 1-7th places in the 2011 Pikes Peak hill climb event.

The Optibike R-Series is THE KING of THE MOUNTAIN.

Yeah, but they don't have the LynDoor™ StickyTire™ System.

It's got the new improved ® all over it....

This is your 60° Hill

All the more reason to employ the: LynDoor™ StickyTire™ System and the StickySeat™System, too.

Not only will you have "real time' seat of the pants feedback, you will know that the tires under you are "on task" too.

I like the concept, but do they come with a 100% satatraction guarantee? =))

A human in best general health can output about 1/7hp for sustained intervals while cycling, with brief excursions above that figure, resting in-between on the down-grades. One could double that figure for seasoned cyclists in the Tour de France.

That gives some idea of the sizes of motors involved in electrifying one.

Thank you

I could guess from that its impossible to make it out of a cycle,

no wonder why e-bikes have small tires
