Electric Bicycle Road Racing Theory

Another PINO bike. (Pedals In Name Only)

Power ~3000 Watts

Weight ~40lbs

Commentary:

There is a group of people that once thought about racing EBRR using a fixed weight limit of 70lbs. This bike simply blows away most of what the DIYers can produce and at only 40lbs. This "should" come as a real embarrassment to that group (who I will not name) because the Germans already beat you at your own game!!!

The Moral of the Story...

Let's get the 1000 Watt Input Limit established and forget about all these "false paths". 1000 Watts is enough on a Go Kart Track to make it fun and to clearly separate ourselves from the mopeds and the motorcycles. I knew this would happen.

The "right path" is 1000 watts for a variety of reasons.

ePower at Portland International Raceway

Just got an email from someone involved with the ePower events who was concerned that I might have not properly clarified that they are making their best efforts to support the 1000 Watt ebike power input limit.

Okay, first thing I'm going to do is repost all those lost images.
