So its been awhile since I last posted on these forums. Around six years I've been stuck driving four wheel death machines, Very miserable experience But I am finally proud to say I am a proud Onyx RCR owner now.
Its been about four monthe's since i took delivery and I have already logged more than 1k miles on the bicycle. It took a lot of soul searching to finally break down and buy a pre-built electric bicycle/moped but I am very ex-static about the build quality, low maintenance and range this bike allows me without to much drama, blood sweat and tears that my previous attempts with a very limited budget and subpar components in the past with the DIY aspect of bike building. There are certainly areas for improvement like adding ammo/pelican saddle bags to add additional reserve battery packs and quick keyed battery switch rated for Amperage and interlock. Im looking to drop at least an additional 100Ah's as well a solar/VAWT trailer for complete independence from electrical grid.
With that said the bike hauls ass and when in eco mode I've driven 60 miles on a single charge with stock battery configuration and my +260LBS 6'4" frame.
