Legal 50 mph electric bicycle

Form a queue with your 11,000 Euros. Do a search for eRockit. The system doesn't allow me to paste a link.

And the eROCKIT won’t come cheap either. It has an MSRP of €11,850, or just over $13,000. That seems like a lot for a pedal-powered motorcycle.

a standard Strike is $12,998 (approx. £9895

Lightning the load: Latest electric land speed project uses Niobium for strength, lightness and efficiency

well that kicks its ass

Yes, but you can't pedal it.

How much do you reckon that you've spent on your bike altogether if you add up everything?

I looked at that Lightning Strike bike before, but the sums just don't add up. It has a 75kW motor and the middle of the range version has a 15kWh battery. That means a maximum of 12 minutes running at full power.

and how much power are you getting from peddling a 50kg+ bike feck all so there a waste of space.

A number-plate, a licence, road tax and insurance, and a helmet when you ride it.

with only 2 wheels, you'd be airborne at that sort of speed and it'll be here in 20 years.

But not a bicycle in the normal sense.

it has the speed but no range as it is flat in 20 miles

After it hit top speed, the speedometer was working like a battery gauge. As the voltage was going down, so was the power and hence the speed.

That's a good demo of what happens on our electric bicycles. Unrestricted, the top speed when the battery is run down will be 75% of what it is when fully charged.
