I've said it before........

I am a huge fan of electric bikes!  The thing I like the best is how uncomplicated they are.

A permanent magnet electric motor has only 1 moving part, the rotor.  That means only 2 wearable parts.... the main bearings.

Compare that to our internal combustion engines with all of their moving parts makes it a "no brainer" to me.

Now it seems that industry is finally interested in improving battery technology and once the storage capacity hurdle is crossed,  I

believe that electric bikes will become accepted as truly viable alternatives instead of the novelty vehicles that they are today.
