Quote: Motor vehicle regs here allow an electric powered bicycle to be
unlicensed, unplated and uninsured up to 500 watts power and no more
than 3 wheels. The bike has to have pedals (even if they're not used)
because legally it's classified as an "electric assisted" bicycle.
Maximum speed about 20 mph.
500W as measured where? Coming out of the battery?
Note that that's just about a whopping 2/3 HP, and if that's
the power going IN to the drivetrain - well, you certainly
won't get even that much delivered to the wheels.

That looks cool, thanks for the link. T wonder what
a "1979 Suzuki GL1000" is (typo for GS 1000)?

That is impressive. Good thing he's not in Zimbabwe, or Robert Mugabe
would "nationalize" his generator, using it to power his wife's
dinner parties (at the big ranch they sto--, er, 'requisitioned').
Meanwhile here in British Columbia even after years of planning,
studies and $millions spent there is still not a single full sized
wind turbine anywhere on the grid. There may be a few small ones
on farms, but it's embarrassing to be scooped by some self-educated
farm kid in Malawi.

Yeah, I was thinking of the GS1000L

And here is the shaft drive GS850L

The news article picture was so small I did a double take
when I viewed it the 2nd time... they didn't merely "run aground",
what an understatement. They rammed the rocky shoreline head-on
at high speed. I haven't seen anything like that since the 8000 ton
_Queen of the North_ piled up on a rock south of Prince Rupert.
