This is a review of the discontinued Currie Hi Torque motor system. For the new Electric Motor Kit by Currie Technologies, check out the following websites:
Currie Electro Drive Motor Kit
The electric mountain bike by Currie is in and it looks sweet! The new 400 watt Hi Torque motor propels the bike to 18mph in 8 seconds. Simply hop on this beautifully designed mountain bike, hit the throttle and go! Travels 10-15 miles on a charge. The batteries are mounted within the frame, leaving ample space for a range extender on the rear rack. What does this mean? It means if you buy the range extender battery pack you can cruise along for up to 20-30 miles without pedaling at all! Most people tend to pedal, though, because it is especially easy on this bike. It is good to save the battery power up for hill climbing and strong head winds.
The Currie electric mountain bike comes with a Micro Shift 21 speed twist shifter system. This makes it an awesome hill climber with or with out the motor. The Currie electric mountain bike has always been one of our best sellers. People like the power and you really can't beat the price. It is the best bike out there in its price range.
Many of our customers who purchased E Rides use them on a daily basis to get to and from work and around the city. There is one guy in particular, a personal trainer, who rides all over the city to clients on his e ride. As a trainer he has to carry a bag of exercise equipment, including free weights, around with him and he has no range issues whatsoever. Another guy rides around the city for leisure nearly every day and I mean around the whole city on the great bike paths available all the way down the west side and almost the whole way up the east side - and get this - he brings his little dog with him in a rear basket! I've even seen him recharging on the sidewalk with an extension chord dropped out of his third story apartment window!
Our customers love their e-rides! And you probably will too - stop in for a test drive today if you live in the NYC area - or call us for more details!

STEARNS'S ELECTRIC BICYCLE LEGISLATION TO GO TO PRESIDENT FOR APPROVAL HOUSE PASSED THE MEASURE LAST YEAR AND SENATE APPROVED IT YESTERDAY WASHINGTON, NOV. 19, 2002 - The Senate yesterday approved H.R. 727, offered by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Ocala), to reduce regulatory burdens on electric bicycles. The House had approved the measure in 2001 and it now goes to the President for his approval. "Low-speed electric bicycles offer consumers the convenience of assisted power," explained Stearns. "These bikes give their riders, often seniors, the disabled, and law enforcement officers, some extra help in pedaling long distances and uphill." Currently, low-speed electric bikes are regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which subjects these bicycles to the same standards of motor vehicles. "Under NHTSA's jurisdiction, electric bikes will be required to have additional equipment such as those on trucks and cars," said Stearns. These requirements would upset the weight and balance of the bicycles, as well as increase their prices. H.R. 727 will transfer jurisdiction over low-speed electric bikes from NHTSA to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates consumer products such as bicycles. Added Stearns, "These are bicycles and should be regulated as bicycles." The legislation applies to low-speed electric bikes with less than one-horse power engines and a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour. - - - US pass electric bike law Senate allows a generous one horsepower and 20mph before you get classed as a motorbike... This contrasts with UK legislation which currently allows just 250W (about a third of a horsepower) and 15mph before the motor has to cut out. The US law will be particularly welcomed by pedal-powered workbike operations. Heavy pedal-powered load-carrying bikes often need fairly hefty electric assist in hilly areas. The bill was helped on its way by US electric company ZAP. Their press release follows: ******** SEBASTOPOL, Calif., Nov. 27 : Electric transportation developer ZAP today issued praise for a new law that would reduce the regulatory burdens on electric bicycles. According to legislative reports, the United States Senate has approved H.R. 727 and President Bush has signed it into law. The bill, introduced by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Ocala, Florida), passed the house in 2001. Currently, low-speed electric bikes are regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which subjects these bicycles to the same standards as motor vehicles. "Low-speed electric bicycles offer consumers the convenience of assisted power," explained Stearns. "These bikes give their riders, often seniors, the disabled, and law enforcement officers, some extra help in pedaling long distances and uphill. These are bicycles and should be regulated as bicycles. Under NHTSA's jurisdiction, electric bikes will be required to have additional equipment such as those on trucks and cars. These requirements would upset the weight and balance of the bicycles, as well as increase their prices." H.R. 727 will transfer jurisdiction over low-speed electric bikes from NHTSA to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates consumer products such as bicycles. The legislation applies to low-speed electric bikes with less than one-horse power and a maximum of 20 miles per hour. "This new law represents a tangible step forward for clean transportation technologies," said ZAP spokesperson Alex Campbell. "An actual human-electric hybrid vehicle, the electric bicycle is one of the most energy efficient forms of transportation available today, achieving the equivalent of 1000 miles per gallon in terms of fueling costs. We are pleased that governments around the world are starting address these forms of transportation." Campbell added that ZAP help pioneer the electric bike market back in 1994 and in addition to being a sponsor of HR 727 also helped pass legislation for electric bikes and scooters in California.
