Description: I bought this E-Bike to replace my Mountain Bike as my main commuting vehicle as well as a way to cut down on using the local transit. It has so far surpassed my expectations as far as performance goes. I can climb steep hills with the lower gear without killing my battery pack. The batteries are in a plastic case that is held in place by two keylocks. And is removeable so I can charge it at home and at work. Lots of storage spaces. Powerful geared rear hub motor. It also has Electronic Rear Braking which when applied can recover some of the electrical energy lost from braking. I also added a Gorilla Motorcycle Alarm System, seperate 2nd Motion Detection Alarm (for security backup) and a GPS Receiver and a 12V Accessory Power Outlet. The 12V is provided by a seperate 12V 3A SLA Battery I put in the Glove Compartment which I keep charged with a 12V 1watt Solar Panel when the scooter is parked. Also have a little stick on clock so I can keep track of time as I ride. I also added a set of FIAMM Chrome Air Horns under the headlight fairing to let CAGE drivers know "I am here" when needed. I recently did a shunt mod for more torque, for better from dead stop startup performance. It is about the same size of a Vespa Scooter so you know it's size. It is very comfortable to ride and I feel it is worth every penny I spent on it.

Re: Luyuan Condor Electric (E-Bike) Scooter
Would you say the item looks more like the Motorino but with the hub like the Scooterteq or Veloteq ? There is not much of pics of the geared hub at site .
Re: Luyuan Condor Electric (E-Bike) Scooter
The hub is a Luyuan geared brushless 450watt CPU Hub Motor. The micro controller allows for automatic Hi/Low gear shifting and also constantly monitors the torque, speed and power levels and adjusts them all for efficiency and overall operation. The Luyuan controller is a 48V 25A digital controller with a built in micro computer to supply the same features as above plus the micro controller also controls and provides the EABS rear braking service.

Re: Luyuan Condor Electric (E-Bike) Scooter
I recently added FIAMM Air Horns, a Gorilla Motorcycle Alarm System, MP3 Sound System, Bluetooth Handsfree Kit for my cell phone, TomTom One 3rd Edition GPS Receiver and a Cigarette Lighter Plug for the 12V devices and a 12V 3A AGM SLA mounted in the glove box to run all these 12v devices. I have a seperate 12V/1.5A SLA Battery Charger/Maintainer for this battery.

Re: Luyuan Condor Electric (E-Bike) Scooter
I got my 1st. flat today in my rear tire on my way to work today. Had to lift/push the scooter 1.5 miles home so I could patch its tube. Found out it is easy to get to the tube if you just lay a tarp down, lay the bike on its side then just unseat one side of the tire to pull out the tube to patch it. That way I do not have to remove the wheel and side mounted geared hub motor. Patched the tube and put it back in the tire then reseated the tire in the rim. Reinflated the tire and then rode to work 1.5 hours later. I was already late for work when the flat happened. I also just installed Slime in the wheels 2 days ago to prevent flats. Of course I found out Slime is useless, luckily the 2 bottles only cost me $10.00 + taxes. Bad day today I guess.
