We are looking for buyers in Europe, of our computerized 4 kW electric bicycle -with recuperation when braking. Made in our custom garage in Moscow. We limited the top speed to about 52 mph due to road conditions here, however top speed could be much much higher. It accelerates from 0 - 50 mph in only 6 seconds! You have to hold on tight! We make custom frames from aluminum and steel in our Rasta-Bike Custom Garage facility. This frame is aluminum, however we can make any frame from aluminum using your designs or sketches that you wish.

thats pretty good! how much is one?

They are asking around $10,000 for it.Transport to Europe would cost a little more. We've been getting alot of experince collected in this and it's possible that we can make them for about 30% less money in the future. Custom aluminum frames is a good thing though. We also have an affiliate shop in Moscow, Triton bikes. They make bikes out of aerospace titanium. So we can bend up a frame for you with their titanium and then they can weld it up right.
 
holy kazoo! 10k thats insane! good luck selling them!

They're not so hard to make yourself. Maybe you will spend a few thousand on the motor, high quality lithium ion batteries and computerization. But it's easy to put it all on your bike. Just choose a good strong mountain bike with full suspension =-)
 
LazyLightning tell me what you think about this idea. Have two sets of batteries and a generator front hub. When the "A" set of batteries gets so low the "B" set takes over. Then the front hub generator can be charging the "A" set while the "B" set is being used. Switching between "A" and "B" batteries could be done either manually or electronically. Which ever one would be easier for you to build. You could still use the regen system on the in use set of batteries. Such a bike may be able to go as much as 150 km (93 miles) or more.

50 km is around 31 miles. At 50 mph you could only ride for 37 minutes. Is it safe to assume the 50 km distance isn't at full throttle? If that's the case 50 mph will use the batteries up even faster.

We're using an electric motor that has a built in generator. When you hit the brakes, it cuts on the the generation of electricy. It's called recuperation. It has a rather large battery block as well. 200 batteries of the best newest Li-ion technology.
I have seen a setup with a generaotr hub and a motor hub seperately. Both the generator and motor hub are rather special and break some previously accepted norms for allowable energy use and generation. The motor is much more efficient than it is supposed to be. It's only a prototype that a guy over here made. Not available to the market as far as I know. Even though there was an American businessman here a few years ago trying to help him get it to market.
