A Mechanical Engineer's Designey Take on an E-Bike
How do you adjust seat height? Is there an option? I can understand if you just run on electric motor but pedalling is more awkward/ difficulty when seat height is wrong.
Missed a trick ...
hmm, I don't think any of us will be buying one
Also what is the point in referencing a Honda CBR 600 RR motorcycle geometry when building a pedal power bicycle? Why not just reference an actual bicycle? The final product seems to share none of the moto proportions anyway....
Why not put the heavy battery down low in the down-tube area instead of way up under the seat? This design puts the majority of the weight almost as high as possible on the bike which will hurt handling. People usually stick electric motors on existing bike designs because the bike design actually matters. This example is basically putting wheels on a huge battery.
