Justin Elmore helped promote electric bikes by riding from the west coast of Canada to the east coast (over 6,400 km) on a homemade rover. The cargo vehicle with a front wheel motor, homemade steering system and a 1,400 watt-hour lithium-polymer battery reached speeds of over 48 km/h.
Kingfish engineers spent months building a bike that could handle the rigors of a 1,500-mile journey from Seattle to Northern California and back. The bike is powered by two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, and has a top speed of 40 mph.
Another bike from Luke Liveforphysics, Pinky, was built in just a week for a race in San Francisco hosted by electricbike.com. The bike, with a claimed top speed of 70 mph, was later purchased by a Hong Kong businessman.
Inventor Itchynacker turned a regular bike into a mountain bike using an oil-cooled wheel motor and a battery packed in a saddlebag. The homemade vehicle was able to overcome a steep climb at a speed malta number data of 56 km/h, leaving behind the production Optibke bicycles. The cost of the factory model is $15,000. Itchynacker spent only $1,600 on his brainchild.
Cedric Lynch has developed one of the most efficient small electric motors weighing about 14 kg, which is often used on other electric bikes. Cedric himself installed this engine on his Streamliner. Thanks to excellent aerodynamics, the bike accelerates to 97 km/h. Lynch rides it more than 60 km every day.
To pay for his college education, Shelby, an engineering student, started mowing lawns. He uses an electric bike to tow his lawnmowers. The bike can reach speeds of up to 30 mph (48 km/h) even when loaded (though it doesn't mow very well).
have a wheel motor. The electricity generated by solar panels is used for amateur radio, a computer, a satellite phone, and more. It's the most expensive bike on the list, costing over $500,000 to build.
