I'm actually not interested in becoming a racer... I'm too old for that.
What got me started into this hobby is that I've always had a love for small lightweight road racers (remember the MB5 ?) and I have a long history of doing this sort of thing (dating back to the 1980's) so what I'd like to do is to create the "break through product" that will launch a new sport.
So from my perspective I'm (at my age) more of a promoter and builder / businessman trying to see a way to legitimize this whole concept for mass consumption.
From the businessmans perspective the "Outlaw" interest that is developing is a negative because you can't sell that stuff legally for long before you are going to get busted. (it's a dead end economically)
----------------------------------
My belief is that the products need to lead the way first and then the racing will follow... without mass produced electric bicycle road racers in existence the chances of serious racing are pretty slim.
So the first priority is the creation of the "concept bike"... then mass produce it... then get racing going... in that order. (I have not yet completed step one)
