 Re: 3 speed ??
Now I'm wondering if the 3speed wouldn't be the ideal bike for an electric friction drive hybrid. It might help with the problem of the weight energy ratio. With a cruiser bike you are expending a lot of energy to move the batteries around when you aren't using them. Which is why most of us use the batteries more than necessary. I wonder if the simple gears would make moving that weight around easier and therefore put less drain on the batteries. It's an interesting thought anyway. |
