That little 50 is aggressive as all hell when it hits the power band! He has done well to get to grips with it, especially as his first bike!

Not quite up to what has been posted in this thread, but I added a motor to my trusty old MTB recently. I enjoy riding, and find lately that the hills are getting steeper...
My commute to work is easy being downhill and then flat. On the way home, the downhill becomes a 1:20 average climb that goes on for 6km straight. I conceded that it wasn't a hill I should subject my 51 year old legs to anymore, especially with a bagbloaded with laptop, so I hit the convert button. The Bafang 500 watt, 48v motor has made me feel 25 again!

Its a tough life, but someone's gotta do it

Starts life with two wheels, then grows a few more small ones....

Yesterday in the sun

Turns like a motorcycle?

Retroporn.

I remember my first and only motorbike with much appreciation and affection. Back in the day, it was extremely cool to travel with a pig on the back of the iron. Then life intervened.

At the time the Kawasaki 250 Samurais were smoking the Hondas, Suzukis and Yamahas equivalents.

Not quite. Very heavy in the steering department if you are going slow.... Which you shouldn't! Front ski design kicks in once you have some speed up, and then they carve like a dream. Once you have dialled yourself into riding them, its like skiiing uphill and downhill and cross slope as fast as you like with that beautiful ICE music in your ears

I'm extremely jealous. Never owned a twin Kawasaki from that era ( rotary valve), although a mate of mine had the 350. They really were fast and yours's had a rival in the Super Six Suzuki 250. It must have been exhilarating as a first bike and the pigs' would have been terrified, I'm sure! Nice bonie, ek se.

and the thundering of a 450 single.

What did it set up back and was it easy to do? Im thinking mine could do with something along those lines too...

This is a test to see if I can post video .
Hopefully this works , the video is of a local Beach Race held recently .

@timattalon - all up, about $2k. It's decidedly more athletic than the average e-mtb with speed restricted motor though. A 300w motor is meant to be street legal max, and most are 32v, but the 500w 48v motor is a really decent performer. Battery capacity is also a variable - you want enough capacity to get you there and back!
