Thank you for posting and keeping this thread alive. I hope Rhett was able to pass peacfully and I wish his family the absolute best. Heartbreaking story and a real eye-opener.
Its being developed in Taiwan they are crazy about ebikes here
But im still set on gas for longer range and lighter weight
I figured I should cash in on the ebike craze in Taiwan and make
a folding rack mount solar charging system for the 1000s of slow
low range ebikes already running around in Taiwan
in 5 or 10 years when battery technology improves and sumthing like
8 AA batteries can power your bike for 50 miles then yeah, im all for it
but that day is far away and thats if we dont all die in 2012 LOL
