that's a bigass sprocket !

there is 2 major problems with electic motors. 1 they batterys waigh a lot or dont last a long time b4 recharging them. and torque. massive amount of torque so much it can easly brake other parts.

i did not see or read this but it does not have a gear box huh??? i m guessing thats why it has a big sprocket.

the batteries actaully wiegh less than all the components they removed. they put some of the batteries in the tail to even out the weight distribution as well.

28 batteries weighing 6.6 lbs each means that the bikes "Eninge" now only weighs 185 lbs!

No gas or exhaust- I would say that this is one extreamly light bike!

that whine would get annoying really fast I think, when I first heard it, I thought it was cool but listening to him riding on the highway it sounds like it would get old quick.
