And about the limiter capabilitie of the system... If anything its gonna be in the speed controller, and like any other circuit its moddable.
You're right about the price, I think it's outrageous. I would have to save up along time. The dealer was questioned about explosiveness and he said no. They say batt. will do 49 miles on a single charge but, thats what they say. I heard that the electric kits with the front hub don't work very well and break down alot ,so dealer started selling bion-x Theres no way I'll spend 1700.oo unless I'm sure I can over ride that stupid speed sensor. They have 26,36 volt ni-cads also-alot cheaper and 24 volt lith. as well also cheaper. -was told batt. will last 5 years.
