I came across this E+ comparison charts in on of their ezines:
Electric Bike Comparison Chart | E+ Electric Bikes | Pedal for Exercise, Motor for Fun.
IMO, it is kind of misleading. For example, the Optibike bikes has 500w of motor power and it certainly not true.
They are avoiding mentioning the type of configuration (front wheel drive, crank drive, etc). The battery range data is a job IMO and there are almost no reference to the other non-electric components.
What are your opinions about that? A newbie, who doesn't know nothing about e-bikes, can be easily convinced by such a comparison.
The problem with the industry is that there are no test regulations available. Every one can publish just whatever he wants.
The range which differs tremendously from one condition to another is usually stated as 30km How could it be that the Optibike has only 20miles range? It is simply distortion of the truth.
I'm sure that most of this stuff has been already discussed before here but this chart just blow me away and I had to share it.
