Flywheel newsletter takes a very specific, but fascinating, look at the used e-bike market as a way to track trends, notes that cargo bikes represent a small percentage of used e-bikes sold last year. He predicts this will change. Why? Because they are ridden the most, by far, of any e-bike category.

"CAKE, the Swedish electric motorbike manufacturer, has successfully delivered the first batch of electric anti-poaching bush bikes to Africa. The quiet and high performance Kalk AP motorbikes were delivered to rangers who are in the process of testing the bikes under the research and development department of the Southern African Wildlife College (SAWC). They are now beginning to use the bikes in their quest to increase the efficiency, to combat poaching." KALK AP  

"The TS is not just futuristic looks. Our 20.2 kWh battery pack is made in-house and offers 300 km of carefree riding, depending on riding style.  Using a DC charger via CCS, 15 minutes of charging will get you 100km of range, keeping you on the road for longer. Our onboard charger allows riders to fully charge in 4.5 hours. Our motorcycles are designed to be electric from the ground up. Weighing in at 247 kg, the combination of light weight materials and low centre of gravity make the TS a stable highway cruiser that can take on any country road that you throw at it." -Verge Motorcycle

Dual Hub Motors From Grin Tech ( ebikes.ca ) Dual front/rear hub motors  on a bike is an excellent way to achieve higher power levels than a single hub motor can produce, and is especially useful in cargo bike or load hauling applications. When you run two brushless motor systems on the bike, each motor requires it's own motor controller (there is no way around this) but the throttle signal would typically be split to run both motors equally. For controllers running with our new WP8 Cycle Analyst plug, we have a very convenient  dual controller splitter cable .  For older controllers with the 6-pin CA plug, or generic controllers with no CA plug, you can run two motors with a V3 CA3-DPS device using the  dual motor CA shunt , while for those without a CA we have a simpler  dual controller throttle splitter cable  for the same purpose. Most often you would use matching motors for the front and rear, ex dual eZee motors, dual Crystalyte, dual 9C, and the powe...
