The Eight Speed Transmission Electric Bicycle. This is the electric bicycle that uses an eight-speed transmission to downshift into a lower gear for climbing hills, upshift for rapid acceleration up to 20 mph on flats, or allows you to pedal normally because the motor can be disengaged at your command. Powered by a 750-watt electric motor housed in the horizontal chain-and-motor assembly that provides 1 hp, the bicycle is capable of three modes of operation, all controlled by a thumb toggle on the handlebars: a setting for rapid acceleration, a low-gear setting for inclines (but slower acceleration), and a setting for manual gear shifting that disengages the motor to preserve battery life. Construction begins with a 12' straight piece of 3/8-gauge, aircraft aluminum 6061 alloy,
roll-formed and annealed for uniform wall thickness into a complete 6' diam. circular tube with a 4" interior diameter. (The lithium-ion batteries reside within the tube, from the front fork to the seat.) The tube is then bisected to make a 6' long arc for the bicycle's frame. The sturdy frame supports riders up to 300 lbs., and the top of the arc provides a 26" stand over height, allowing you to place both feet on the ground. The padded ergonomic gel seat provides for comfortable, relaxed riding. It attaches to the frame via a gas strut assembly that raises and lowers like a pneumatic office chair, accommodating riders between 5-7' tall in a semi-recumbent position for ideal pedaling or powered coasting. A dynamo in the front wheel's hub
provides power for the LCD which includes an odometer, clock, chronograph, and speedometer. The bicycle has a range of up to 30 miles at 20 mph before requiring a five-hour recharge from its AC adapter. Precisely tuned hydraulic disc brakes provide sure stops, and the wheels are made of dual-walled aluminum alloy and aluminum spokes; the 26" semi-slick tires are ideal for roads or paved trails and use Schrader valves. The bicycle is wet-painted in Rossa Corsa red using the same PPG color specification as high performance sports cars and treated with a clear coat finish for a luster that will last. With center stand. Made in the U.S. 80" L x 36" H x 10" W. (58 lbs.)
