Over the past few weeks I bought a low end high end (that's what I call it) Felt mountain bike. It retailed at about $700. I bought it used for $200 and it was in like new condition.

I wanted to put some better parts on it so I upgraded the following components: installed hydraulic disc brakes, upgraded suspension fork, pedals, headset, grips, tires, chainring, rear cassette and crankset.

I fully tuned it and also converted it from a 3 x 8 drivetrain to a 1 x 8 drivetrain. This eliminated the front derailleur. It went from 33lbs to 29lbs and now it is a pretty respectable mountain bike.

I enjoyed this product and I feel thankful to have a nice bike.

Dude, why can't you couple super capacitors with a battery system, then you can get small bursts of overcharge. If the motors can handle it, it would greatly improve acceleration, or top speed, and since they're super capacitors they charge quickly. Then with a controller you can trickle charge the battery at its optimum rate. There's a lot of untapped potential for efficiency with super capacitors. It may add weight and complexity but the efficiency gains I think would be worth it.

I dunno depends on if it’s a motor limit or battery limit. Is the motor already pulling the max amps it wants or is the battery limiting out?

I think electric bikes already have throttles so you can already spike the max amps it is wanting presumably.

I mean just slap 4 motors to one wheel lol.
