Electric Bikes

[cripple_rooster]

I'd still rather get a petrol-powered moped.


The one in the picture is a genuine Velo-Solex made in France, but there's a plenty of Chinese conversion kits to turn an average bicycle into a moped...

reviving this thread.

2 years on since i saw the last post, dumadami na ang nakikita kong gumagamit ng e-bike. any tsikot users na may experience ba dito?

I work at MoA in pasay coming from Paranaque bayan and since di naman kalayuan ang distance, and sarado ang Macapagal access road Don Galo, I turn to using my yamaha scooter to get to and from the office. I just found out na wala palang bayad sa open mc/bike parking ang mga naka e-bikes saka mga bisikleta sa MoA plus yung advantages na no yearly registration and no license requred to actually ride one, it makes me even more interested.

^i suggest you buy the one na may pedal. Una para pag nawalan battery. Pangalawa. Alam mo naman yung mga henyong police o traffic enforcer. Hihingan ka ng rehistro kasi daw motor. Etc etc. So less hassle, wag yung motorcycle talaga ang porma

My brothers own one. They actually bought them from CDR King (not promoting here). So far its been more than a year with them and no complains, except the flat tire. They actually enjoyed using them as they've attested to its efficiency. They use it ,mostly in city drives. As of now, I already have plans to buy one but I guess I'll be buying them from a local distributor for easier parts and maintenance accessibility.

Hindi ba subject to registration din ang e-bikes? Mahirap na baka magkagulatan. Plus, wala pa bang advice kung dapat licensed ang rider? Mahirap di kasi kung sinong herodes na lang ang nagpapatakbo.

Under 50cc, no license required.

Most e-bikes are weaker than a 50cc scooter, so the same applies.

EDIT: Whoops. Registration pala yun. My mistake.

As far as I know, electric scoots aren't covered by licensing requirements... but then, most of them can't even go faster than 30 km/h. But if they get more popular, it's a pretty sure bet they'll start requiring one.

tsismis sa fb ... kapag >35kph ang e-bike, kailangan na ng rehistro?

Maybe. But then, how would the enforcers know?

[dr. d]

i think it's time to require registration of all e-bikes, and all e-bike drivers to be properly evaluated and licensed.
it's not anymore a question of what the e-bike can or cannot do... it's now a question of the mischief the rider can do with his e-bike, because he's not trained nor informed on proper road behavior.
kung yung may lisensiya nga, pasaway na... yung walang... pa?

My dad is keeping pressure on me to buy one for him, since he is already 70 years old natatakot na ako payagan sya mag Ebikes meron naman syang normal na road bike pero ang rereklamo hirap na daw sya pumidal.

Nag send sakin ng picture ng Ebike ang name Thunder ang presyo 34K pesos ok ba tong brand na to. Meron na ba sa inyo naka pag try ng Thunder. Problem baka kasi sobrang init sa mata ng mga buwaya sa daan hanapan ng rehistro at lisensya

3 weeks ago, I went to harrison plaza to park my trusty bumblebee scooter. When I got to my spot, I noticed an old school dio (or so I thought...).

Upon closer scrutiny, it was actually a china brand electric scooter that had all the bells and whistles of the 2T dio! Asked the parking attendant who owned it and he said it was his partner for the day. I stupidly asked his if it was the real deal and wasnt a converted unit. His partner answered yes it was the real deal and even showed me the charging plug for it (parang sa rice cooker). Asked him finally how many days does it take before he charges it. He said that since he lives in pasay (cartimar area), approximately 8 days. Charging is done overnight (parang cell phone lang ).

Hope he brings it again so I can take a pic and share it here

it might be safer to buy him the 4-wheeled version just like those used in US walmart....I believe this is also allowed to be brought inside malls with same consideration as wheelchairs....

^Yes. I would be really nervous having a 70 yr old on a bike or scooter. Their bones are fragile na. How about a second hand golf cart if he will just use it going around the village.

I was also considering that even a small ATV sana para at least 3 wheels.. pero ang problema he will cross a national road from one village to another. Mahirap lang talaga paliwanagan ang matanda hehehehe kahit sabihin ko na its not safe fo his age ayaw pa din kaya pa daw nya hahahaha

yup we have to be more understanding to them. mahirap golf cart bawal sa national road yan same with atv, yes atv is illegal to traverse national road... segway? hehehehe, pwede siguro e wheel chair - 3 wheeled -


why wont you try the e bike that looks like a bike not one that looks like a scooter- 18 k ata sa cdr king

[NightRock]

That was his original request and it was my fault pinatagal ko pa ngayon dami na lumabas na ebikes na scooter type ayaw na tuloy pumayag sa dating request hehehe

hand carried it from china. it took out a big chunk from my baggage allowance LOL

btw this is a mid-drive motor, so it goes through your bike's gears i.e. could climb efficiently, but more complex mechanically. if you just want to run errands around town the more common hub motors are locally available
