It would help if you posted a picture...

Test rode it at Fontana. It is pretty bad ass, abut 7 lbs and you can go uphill at about 25mph. Also fits in a large Camelback.

What is it?

A D NOH · 01-24-2010, 03:16 PM

Is this the motor that sits on the back of a bike? I think I may have seen some guy on a green santa cruz yesterday using it. It is pretty cool but loud and does a wonder on the rear tire.
(may be wrong as I didnt ask what he was using)

That thing is annoying at the races. Every five min. Braaaa, braaaaaa.

Your not seriously considering buying one of those things are you?

Rockinthecasbah · 01-24-2010, 04:34 PM

why not just ride a motorcycle at that point, if my fat as$ can pedal my 40+ lb 1x9 bike up to the top other people can at least push it. Do you really want to carry half a goped around with you

I dont think 7 pounds is much weight. Yes we can push and climb, but you can do so many more runs so much faster.

I found out what it costs and its Fing ridiculous! $900

No clutch at this time but will do around 40 on the flats if I remember.

That dude lost more potential customers than he gained by riding it around this weekend. So f'ing annoying.

I am a DH'er (well sort of). But that's really funny.

denmother · 01-25-2010, 06:11 AM

Hmmm, 6lbs, $800 and you have to run a semi-slick. I don't think I will be buying one. Now, if you could set it up for towing multiple bikes/riders uphill and you could hire someone to drive it, and you could get several friends to pitch in, maybe!!

doublewide · 01-25-2010, 06:25 AM

Rog and Nancy are my Shuttlebuddies! They're cheap too! Give em a little gas money, some lunch and a hug and they're good!

And i forgot to add, they don't make that annoying "BRAAAAAA" sound.

shitty

Waldo · 01-25-2010, 06:25 AM

Sort of defeats the idea of riding bike, doesn't it?

Kid A · 01-25-2010, 06:30 AM

Manny43 · 01-25-2010, 03:27 PM

Are we really having this debate?

Hey...maybe I should look for some kind of Integrated Propellant System for my running shoes...

moka · 01-25-2010, 03:50 PM
