    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.

    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)

    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

    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!! :lol:
