Ride Scoozy Kickstarter Ebike

[bradJ]

Anyone interested in an Electric Bike should check out this one on Kickstarter: I shot the promo video for it and it's a really cool thing.

Nice advert for a bike with electricity! What a novel Idea.

Does it charge up while you pedal?

 

[bradJ]

It does not charge while you pedal BUT you can still pedal while using the electric motor to help extend the battery life while in use.

Can you plug it into the mains electricity supply and put energy back into the grid?

'Ebike specific saddles'....! As opposed to what? Perhaps a non-ebike specific one.......that's just a guess though!

Anyway, I'm seriously thinking of emigrating to Scotland now as the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, man for all seasons and general embarrassment to both Scotland and the rest of the UK, Danny Alexander, promises everyone in Scotland will be £1400 per annum better off by staying in the UK. That's a half-decent ebike every year!

Improbable? No more than a waiting list for BradJ's 'really cool thing' with an ebike-specific saddle!

Is it legal? I think it goes too fast!

It's not legal in the UK. Shipping costs and duty would be prohibitive anyway, so I can't see there being any interest in the UK anyway for what's basically a single-speed bike with an Magic Pie kit, which you could assemble yourself for about £650.

I only produced the video and am doing my part in promoting the bike. Any specific questions you have can be directed toward the inventor of the bike on the Kickstarter page!

I do recall him mentioning that it does violate the UK eBike laws, unfortunately.

And so another prospective new member to the forum is chased off. Or, another cynical attempt at self promotion bites the dust - you decide…
