FOREST GLIDER

2010-04-29T06:59:00.000-07:00

To read an independant reveiw of this bike click this link:

Gruber Assist reveiw - Bike Radar

Yes - It is electric!! and invisible

Click below to see a video about the Gruber assist drive system

What's it all about?

The Electric Goat FOREST GLIDER Is set up with the Gruber Assist electric bike conversion.

The motor battery and controller weighs only 2 Kg's.

The motor is hidden inside the same tube the seat post goes into. (You can't see it.)

The electronics are inside the seat post. (Invisible too.)

Rider control is from a button on the handlebars On and Off simple but effective.

The range is very good, I would say 20 miles plus from the 1 Kg battery with an average rider on average UK terrain. (if you find this hard to believe please give us a ring and we will explain in more detail how this is possible)

The Riding experience

The difference when riding with this kit is that the drive comes through the bottom bracket so therefore gives you assistance in which every gear you are in, so if you are in top gear you can be whistling along at 20= mph or if you are in a low gear climbing a hill the motor will also be performing at its optimal power and gives a very impressive amount of torque to get you to you to the top. Do not think that because the motor is small that it does not give a good level of assistance - It does.

When comparing to the Heinzmann it is like comparing chalk and cheese. The Heinzmann Has a very powerful motor that will take you up very steep hills quickly and with minimal effort from the rider. The Gruber Assist is not the kind of machine you would choose if you wanted an electric moped where as the Heinzmann could fit that bill. The Gruber Assist is definitely for a cyclist who wants assistance and good hill climbing assistance but not in a hurry. You will find the assistance to be strong but not that much faster than without it, The main difference after say climbing a long 15% hill your breathing will still be under control and a feeling of blimey that is definitely the way forward, and because the climbing speed is not that much quicker then your battery consumption will be minimal too. It is surprising how climbing hills at speed chews through a battery a bit like driving a car with a heavy foot sups up the juice. That is why the battery does not need to be a monster (in the picture above it is under the seat), although it is not short on capacity with 30 volts and 6.75 Amp hours which is 202 Watt hours (which is the figure you need to be comparing when looking at battery capacities. )

The Price
The Gruber assist is cutting edge technology - It is in it's own class. It is a kit for the cyclist that wants an elite electric bike. Components can be fitted to the bike according to the customers choice.
The fairest way to charge is to take the price of the bike and add it to the price of the kit and charge £100 for doing the conversion.
The standard Forest Glider starts from £2640, the price broken down this is- £1940 for the Gruber Assist - £500 for the bike and £200 Fitting fees.

Quality
There are no shonky quality parts involved when putting together, Electric Goat bikes.
Nothing below Shimano Alivio is available and the sky is the limit when you know exactly the components you want on your new stead.

To read an independant reveiw of the Gruber, click link below:
Gruber Assist reveiw - Bike Radar

Check out the you tube video at the foot of the page for an "Electric goat" moment.

Where

The Gruber assist motor is stashed inside the frame and drives the bottom bracket via a bevel gear.

How

With the touch of the button on the handlebars the motor kicks in and gives a surprising amount of assistance.

Weight

This bike is fitted with the Gruber Assist. Which only adds 2 Kg's. We can fit the kit to your bike if the seat post tube connects centrally to the bottom bracket housing.The motor fits bikes with a seat post diameter of 31.6mm or 30.9mm, check the dimensions that should be stamped on the seat post itself.

Frame only

If your frame does not have the right size seat post tube then you may want to buy a frame with the motor pre-installed, then activate it with the components from your current bike.

Complete Bike
If you are looking for a complete bike with the Gruber assist - ready to go, please click this Forest Glider link to be taken to the relevant page.

Your style
With the Gruber Assist cycling and electric biking meet. Riding your bike has completely new meaning, weather it is a mountain bike a road racing bike , or a happy shopper everyday machine.

Range
The range of this kit is very good 20 miles or 1.5 hours constant full power use, no problem as the peak power is around 200 watts which is a very usful boost.

Top speed
The motor is small and light as is the battery pack (2 kg's all up), this does not mean the assistance is not strong. When traveling on the flat and undulating, average speeds can be easily is excess of 20 mph with the de-restricted off road motor version.( road legal versions are also available)

On the hills
Up hill, because the power is transferred through the gears the motor runs at its happy efficient speed giving plenty of assistance , just as it does at 20mph on the flatter gradients, although progress is not as fast on the hills, if you sit back and pedal at a comfortable pace and let the motor work harder you will find yourself at the top of that hill without gasping for air. It truly is amazing what the small motor on a steep hill is capable of. If you want to see for yourself the I invite you to get in touch by phone 01458 550304

Here Is a list of reviews by my customers

Hi All,
Thought it was about time that I wrote a little bit about my bike.I purchased it about 2 months ago from Steve at electicmountainbikes.com. He will spec the bike however suits you best and spent ages on the phone with me due to being very enthusiastic about electric bikes.First a bit about me and why I picked this bike instead of another.About 4 years ago I had a near fatal Motor bike accident. Although grateful to still be here it has left me with some problems namely a weak right leg and wrists that don’t move very well any more. I work about 8 miles from my home and the route to work is quite hilly. We no longer have access to showers at work so an electric bike seemed right up my street. I wanted something that helps me with the hills so I could use it every day for work but more importantly I wanted a proper mountain bike. Something I could take on any off-road course without fear of it falling apart. Another issue I have is that I have to drop my 2 children off at their grandparents in the morning who take them to school so I needed something that could be easily transported in the car. Enter the Paratrooper.It is a folding mountain bike designed for the US paratroopers (they have apparently sold several thousand to the US army if you read the blurb on their web site). Steve fitted a high-torque (still road legal) Heinemann motor for me (fitted into a strong Maverick rim) and the battery is carried in a ruck sack to keep the weight off the bike.

The folding mechanism is really simple. There is a cam screw that you unwind which releases a pin in the frame and then the bike folds around the seat post. The front wheel is quick release and this is also removed to enable you to fit in the boot.

Photo taken from Montague's web site

Steve customized the bike for my needs and it was fitted with folding pedals (which are now removed for serious off roading) and semi on / off road tyres that have knobblies down the sides but not the center.I cannot tell you how much I love this bike, (but I will have a go) my car has barely been off the path in the last two month (apart from taking kids to granparents) saving me a fortune in fuel. I have got the 8 miles ride to work down to around 30 mins which is only about 5 mins more than it takes me in the car. But it is off road where it really makes you smile. We have been through muddy bogs (see photo below), climbed over the top of Moel famau, done the intermediate route at CwnCarn south Wales and the bike has just taken it all in its stride. There are some sections that would just be sooooo hard on a normal mountain bike, like when cycling though muddy bogs that come up to axles, and try doing that on a normal bike without pedaling.There are a few niggling points (more annoying than anything). When you fold the bike all the cables rub the paint off the frame which could so easily have been fixed in the factory by just putting some protective stickers in the right place. I discovered the folding pedals are useless off road so I now have both folding and ridged and just change according to what I am doing.Below are some of the off road pictures taken over the last few weeks

After Steve took me on a tour of the North Yorkshire Dales

lovelyOne final thing I have to mention is the service I have had from electricmoutainbikes.com. They have been so helpful (even fed me and took me for a tour of the countryside) and spent a lot of time advising me before I shelled out my hard earned cash. thank you

MARTIN

We investigated the possibility of adding an electric motor to our existing bike and contacted Steve at electricmountainbikes.com for more information. After an extremely informative and useful exchange by email and phone, we decided to travel up to Steve’s base (right in the middle of the North York Moors National Park rather than deal by post.

Booking into the Caravan Club site at Rosedale, we spent a few days exploring while he converted our bike. What a fantastic area. Good pub food on our doorstep, a local bakery and village shop, good hiking and gorgeous scenery. Well, the great day arrived and Steve delivered our bike – we then had great fun “testing it out”, cycling around the local area, also part of an old railway line on the coast from Robins Hood Bay to Whitby.

We were extremely impressed with Steve's professional and friendly service. The motor and battery are compact, the range/versatility/ease of use great. As his speciality is folding bikes with electric motors – excellent for most motorhomers – we recommend, if like us you are beginning to feel the old muscles pull when cycling up hills, checking out his website.

Paul from Reading
cheers Steve, received yesterday, well pleased
as you know already --- excellent pulling the trailer (this is a real plus for me) and rather dangerous and fun off road in the non eco mode like a little scrambler (i put your detachable cable to the test when it ran away from me at one point today) really do like the off road!

i,ll give the commute a shot on Monday

thanks again,

Nigel from solihull

I am very grateful for all your efforts with my order,

and hope the experience is positive, rather than

hassle...you have a very happy customer.

Had a great ride today, it really takes the effort

away from starts and junctions, but at all time feels

safe and controlable. The bike itself is very

comfortable and handles the roads with ease, look

forward to a bit of off road Friday!

Ian from Isle of Wight

Hi Steve,

Robin from Chester

Ride to work went well today. Hills were an absolute doddle. Got to work feeling good about myself that I had had some exercise ‘but not too much if you know what I mean’. Took a longer route than normal (13miles) that was quite hilly and the battery had just moved to half charged when I got there so quite pleased. Charged in work and because the ride home is more downhill the battery stayed almost fully charged.
The lads in work were fascinated by it and all wanted a go around the car park, no one got off it without a big grin on their face.
Best quote ‘that’s wicked I expected it to look a right shed when you told me about it but it looks the business’

Battery information

2008-04-30T18:07:00.000-07:00

BATTERY INFORMATION

Sealed lead acid battery (LA)

Lead acid batteries are old and faithful technology. They are very heavy and don't like to be discharged until they are flat. These batteries can be recycled.

Nickel cadmium (NiCad)
Nickel cadmium are still heavy and insist on being run flat to avoid the memory effect, that means you think you have a full battery but you don't. If treated well, can be recharged many times. Cadmium is not an environmentally friendly substance and can't be recycled.

Nickel metal hydride NiMHNiMH batteries are the mid weight Steady- Eddie of batteries and can be recycled. They're not as fussy as Ni Cad's and have a recharge capacity of that between the lead acid and the NiCads.

Lithium based (Li)
Lithium based batteries are coming into the electric bike market more and more these days the Technology is very lightweight and will be the way of the future (for a while anyway). Scientists seem to be getting over some of the safety issues as more research is done. Some packs have alleged lifespan of over 1000 recharges, but we will see. If you recharge your bike every day it could take 3 years to find out.

Heinzmann conversion kit

2008-04-30T17:18:00.000-07:00

THE HEINZMANN CONVERSION (retro fit kit)

The 3 bikes Below have a standard retro fit kit fitted. (battery in the pannier)

This bike is thee Electric Paratrooper Folding Bike CLICK HERE (it has a customised Heinzmann retro fit kit - the battery is carried in a rucksack or on a quick release rack system)

INTRODUCTION

Heinzmann electric bikes and kits are made in Germany - a country that is renowned world over for it's engineering skills & reliability; their bikes and kits are the BMW's in the electric biking world.

Their bikes and likewise retrofit kits are custom built and configured to order so there are a large array of extras such as upgraded suspension, front forks, right down to upgraded tyres and much more. Tell us what you let us help you build what you want or what you need either way we will do our best to help.

Heinzmann Retro fit kit Heinzmann make both motors for the front and rear wheel with varying hill climbing abilities and speed capabilities.The Heinzmann kits cater to the on and off road market. There are two types of hand throttles to choose from, either a twist grip "Motorcycle style" throttle or a thumb throttle.

From April 08 Heinzmann have made a few smart changes in the technology department. Firstly they have joined the 21st century with their relentlessly tested lithium technology batteries, thus saying goodbye to the having to the dreaded memory effect. Now we can recharge after each ride. (much more simple) The Weight of this new technology battery is a fraction of the old Ni Cad and Ni-Mh batteries. Now the new batteries are stored in the neat purpose built pannier on the rack , giving it more of a swish look. Those of us that choose to put the batteries in our rucksacks are enjoying the lighter weight .

The Heinzmann retrofit kit comes with 2 different lithium ion battery sizes to suit range needs and differently geared and powered motors to choose from, front or rear wheel drive, and a choice of thumb operated or twist grip throttles. Press the eco mode button to extend your battery range.

Whats is in the Heinzmann Retro fit Kit?

Electric Assist possible with or without pedalling (e-bike) consisting:• 36V motor• Twist-grip• Battery• Battery soft case• Control unit• Battery charger• Luggage carrier• Connection cable

Motor
.

Heinzman have a choice of motors - there are torquey motors that will propel you up a 18% hill without even pedalling and flyer's that will take you up to 25+ mph, these motors don't have the low geared torque for climbing steep hills, but boy when you build up a head of steam they don't half go!!. Then there are variations between the two. Please ring me to discuss the best motor for your needs- 01458 550304

Throttle
.

The throttle is the twist type that works in a very similar way to that on a motorcycle .Also it has a very accurate led display to tell you the state of charge of your battery which can be dimmed for night use saving you from the glare that stops you from seeing where you are going (very clever idea). The green button is an eco mode switch which when on will extend your range by giving a lower level of assistance whilst accelerating, thus saving battery power and extending your range (Both very useful additions). The red button is an on / off switch.

Battery and charger
.

Dimensions 24 cm x 18 cm x 8 cm

The battery Is lithium Ion technology and comes in 2 capacities, they are both 36 volts and one is 6.0 Amp hours giving you pedal assistance for 19 miles and weighing 1.9 Kgs. The other has a capacity of 9.0 Amp hours 30 miles weighing 3.4 Kgs.The battery has a compartment for the storage of the charger . On the top it has one port for the charger and one for the lead going to the controller under the seat during use. Also you can make out on the top an led display telling you an accurately the state of charge. This is secondary to the display on the handlebars. The charger will work on 100 - 240 volts AC.

Racks and Panniers

As standard the Heinzmann comes with the battery in a pannier mounted on a specific rack. Below the battery is in a rack bag. Panniers can be attached to the side of the rack for extra carrying capacity. Electric bikes are also often used with trailers. Please ask me if you are interested.

Topeak Rack bag option

The bag slides on to the rack and positively locks into position the bag can not move around on top of the rack
Topeak Rack top bag and quick release rack £85

Also available on a standard rack with the same positive locking system

TECHNICAL INFO

Although Many are rated at a continuous power of 200 watts, The peak power of these motors i.e what they can produce when needed is up to 1000 watts peak. How do they make such a powerful motor road legal you may ask? Well to be honest I don't know but with my experience of electric bikes - riding them off-road etc, they were my first choice for high power reliability and toughness. I know for many of my customers the way in which I use the bikes will not match theirs, but I think it must be reassuring to know, that are robust Strong and have a lightweight battery pack that can supply the demand.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
Hill climbing ability and speed above are based on the motor being fitted into 26” wheels – smaller wheels will give better climbing ability but lower top speed; larger wheels will give lower climbing ability but higher top speed.

Key

1. UK road legal in 700c wheel and anything smaller

2. Not UK road legal

3. UK road legal up to 26” wheels

Other motor types are available, pricing on request.

Generally as the top speed increases hill climbing gets harder, If you want big range and big power ring us 01751 432 936

Range

Range in pedal assist mode is estimated at 19m (32km) for the 6.0Ah version and 32m (50km) for the 9.0Ah version (Based on average pedalling and 100kg total weight including rider).

Kits come with a single battery although additional batteries can be ordered to either double the range or allow a quick return after reaching your destination.
These Li-Ion batteries incorporate the best in battery technology and quality and have undergone extensive testing alongside the Heinzmann drive system offering lower weight, increased range and greater flexibility, in terms of charging requirements .
The batteries include their own battery management systems and charge status is shown locally on the battery case as well as on the digital twist grip.
The batteries are designed to fit into a removable, weatherproof, soft fabric protection case with locking facilities and may be fitted to either side of the luggage carrier. Also inside a rucksack works well for the off roaders as it keeps the weight of the bike down which improves handling
Battery charging may be carried out on or off the bike.
Charging times for the 6.0Ah and 9.0Ah are around 5 hours and 9 hours respectively if completely flat.

For existing users of Heinzmann kits with 36V NiMH battery technology, upgrading to Li-Ion is possible but will require controller modification.

Weight of Retrofit kit:

Approx. 7kg with 1 battery (6.0Ah).

Approx. 8.5kg with 1 battery (9.0 ah High capacity) .

THE RUCKSACK COMPATIBLE KIT

The rucksack compatible system as used on the paratrooper MTB is unique to Electric Mountain Bikes.com.

Why put the battery in a Rucksack?

With the battery in a rucksack the bike handles much more like a normal bike as the centre of gravity and the weight of the bike is lowered, So on uneven or tarmac going the difference is very noticeable.There is a quick release connector just in case of pilot ejection for safety. Also the battery is out of sight to the onlooker as you innocently climb those 1:5 hills.

WARRANTY

2 years warranty on the kit,and 18 months on the battery

EMTB Montague Paratrooper Folding MTB

2008-04-29T14:00:00.000-07:00

Click HERE to read an independant reveiw of the Electric Paratrooper by VELOVISION magazine.

Check this video out to see how strong the motor is on a 25%+ off road climb

The Montague Paratrooper From £2066 / £2276 (6.0Ah/ 9.0Ah battery)

HOW THEY WORK

The cable coming out from under the seat has a quick release connector that plugs into the cable coming out of the battery in a rucksack . This machine has a lot of torque, but can be tamed by the push of the eco button on the handlebars extending your range!

Electric Mountain bikes have taken a big leap forward with the new electric Montague paratrooper. We now are a dealer for the full range of Montague Folding Mountain bikes .They have been used by the US Marines in combat and basically are a bombproof folding fully functional lightweight Mountain bike.

With this bike I have put the battery pack inside a rucksack with a push together connection just in case the pilot involuntarily ejects.

Carrying the battery this way not only to conceal the battery, but by adding the extra weight to you rather than the bike, stability and handling is better on off road terrain.

There are also options to put the battery into a rack bag on a seat post mounted or fixed rack , maybe a consideration if you want to keep the batteries on the bike.This option can give you the best of both worlds.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE ELECTRIC BIKE

The kit I use on the bike is made by Heinzmann (from Germany). There are road legal kits that will take you up a 15% hill which is equivalent to a 1 in six, before you even start pedalling. (There is no other kit as Strong as this one and still road legal to my knowledge and if you know of one that is I would love to know about it!!) Also there are kits less powerful. If the motor is less powerfull the battery will last longer, so therefore the range is increased.

THE BATTERY
Heinzmann use a lightweight lithium based battery that has had very extensive testing before being brought onto the British market earlier in 2008.

Dimensions 24 cm x 18 cm x 8 cm

The battery Is lithium Ion technology and comes in 2 capacities, they are both 36 volts and one is 6.0 Amp hours giving you pedal assistance for 19 miles and weighing 1.9 Kg's. The other has a capacity of 9.0 Amp hours 32 miles weighing 3.4 Kg's.The battery has a compartment for the storage of the charger . On the top it has one port for the charger and one to the controller. Also you can make out on the top an led display telling you an accurately the state of charge. This is secondary to the display on the twist grip. The charger will work on 100 - 240 volts AC.

THE THROTTLE

The throttle is the twist grip type that works in a very similar way to that on a motorcycle .Also it has an led display to tell you the state of charge of your battery which can be dimmed for night use saving you from glare, that stops you from seeing where you are going (very clever idea). The green button is an eco mode switch which when on will extend your range by giving a lower level of assistance whilst accelerating, thus saving battery power and extending your range (Both very useful additions). The red button is an on / off switch.

THE ACCURATE BATTERY FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY

The LED's on the throttle to tell you about the charge left in the battery there are six levels of charge shown. Here's how it displays the battery condition.

When 1/6th of power has gone- top green light goes out and second green below it is lit

2nd 6th has gone - second light goes out and amber light shows below it

3rd 6th gone - amber light goes out and then next light comes on below it which is amber again

4th 6th gone - amber light goes out and the red light at the bottom comes on

5th 6th gone - the red light now starts to flash on and off

6th 6th gone - the bike electrics shut down as to protect the battery from getting too deeply discharged.

PUT IT ANOTHER WAY !

When the 1st orange comes on that's 1/3rd gone then when the red comes on that's 2/3rds gone and when the red starts flashing hope its not more than a few miles to get to your destination.

CUSTOM BUILT

Also here are some pics of some additions I have available. If you or another rider don't want the battery in a rucksack or need a bit more carrying capability this seat post - mounted rack and rack bag works well. It costs £85 on top of the kit price.

There is also an attachment of a mud guard that clips to the underside of the rack costing £4.50.

Seat post mounted Topeak Rack bag for battery

Panniers can be hung from the sides of this rack. there are also guards available to stop them getting caught up in the back wheel for £20.

Beauty and the BEAST Maria and I after achieving third place at the Tour de Presteigne last year. Got 3rd place again this year with a Heinzmann, 1st and 2nd went to enthusiasts with home made bikes, and are not available on the open market.

Here's a couple of pics of Happy Customers on paratroopers

THE PARATROOPER FOLDING MECHANISM

Just undo the quick release on top of the top tube and fold the bike in half.

It takes less than 15 seconds.

If you want it smaller than half size then take the front wheel out by undoing the quick release on the front wheel and the front wheel will come out with ease. This takes another 15 seconds

An excerpt on the bikes from TIME magazine about the

Paratrooper Folding Bike

(The Motague Paratrooper MTB as above with no Electrification is £750.)

Few bicycle companies need to measure the size of an aircraft door when designing a new model. But Montague Corp., based in Cambridge, Mass., did exactly that when the Pentagon said it needed a lightweight, foldable bike that special-operations forces could carry as they jumped out of airplanes into enemy territory.
In 1999 Montague came up with the Paratrooper, which has a hardened aluminum frame and wheels, and beefy pedals. It weighs only 29 lbs. and can fold in less than a minute to a manageable size (3 ft. by 3 ft. by 1 ft.). The market for parachutists' cycles being small, Montague's sales languished until the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001. U.S. forces found the bikes ideal for moving quietly and without using scarce fuel. Word spread throughout the world's tightly knit military community; Montague has sold several thousand bikes to the military and other government agencies as well as to a number of foreign armies.

Izip electric bikes specs and prices 2010

The inventors behind the currie electrodrive present their NEW selection ef electric bikes for 2010.

For 2010 pdf brochure and prices please CLICK HERE (Takes about 30 seconds)

IZIP Intro Ten years ago, Currie Technologies was founded by Dr. Malcolm Currie, the former chairman of Hughes Aircraft and Delco Electronics, on the conviction that hybrid and electric vehicles would become increasingly
important for fundamental economic and environmental reasons. Starting with a simple yet unique design, “Dr. C” patented our “Electro-Drive™” propulsion system that provides unmatched performance and durability
at a reasonable price. From the start, his objective was to build alternative products offering cost effective, emissions free transportation.

What Izip say

These last few years we have been refining what we do and how we do it, testing, refining; then testing and refining some more. Today, Currie Technologies officially introduces its 2008 line of IZIP™ hybrid electric
bicycles and electric scooters targeted and designed to appeal to whole new groups of consumers and their needs. IZIP™ is the most comprehensive line in the industry, covering a wide spectrum of price points and
user needs with a host of unique features and attributes. We have something for everyone.

Why you should choose IZIP™ by Currie:

These years of sustained experience makes Currie an acknowledged leader in the business and a full range of innovative, practical and fun products make IZIP™ the easiest brand in the marketplace to sell. We utilize
our own factory and design team working in conjunction with our international research team who are constantly working on new designs and responding to market needs. We are fast, flexible, quality oriented and
technology driven. At the same time having our own production facility provides us the many advantages of vertical integration. We back all this up with full dealer service using a technical support department of
seasoned veterans providing service both to our IZIP™ retailers and to end consumers for product aftercare support.
This year we introduce Evo-Drive© which radically redefines the synergetic and bionic interplay between man and machine power for unrivaled performance in terms of staggering range, available power and speed
through revolutionary and patented planetary/sun dual power transfer to the rear wheel. US Patent 5,242,335 describes the result as allowing both power systems to operate at optimal levels and for much higher
power transfer efficiencies to the rear wheel than any previous scheme and in a highly interactive manner. We can brag, but until you actually experience one of these machines, it is truly hopeless to explain the
quantum leap up in performance all around, and how nothing else remotely comes close.
We also introduce this year TMM4™ a major breakthrough development building on our previous breakthrough of proprietary PTS (pedal torque sensor). This is a ‘pedalec’ system in the truest sense of the word and
offers power boost with each pedal stroke amplifying your own effort seamlessly and unobtrusively, while conserving power when you want to coast. Power select modes include standard and turbo for extra power on
demand. While not as revolutionary as Evo-Drive©, TMM4™ offers major advances in reliability and power efficiency over our earlier PTS along with the ability to use many standard parts for easy upgrades and better
than mainstream electric performance.
Whatever bike or scooter model you may choose, leaf through this catalog at your own risk, as you will likely find many you may want for transportation, recreation or fitness!! Briefly put we offer many technologies
on many platforms including lithium-ion power, easy plug and play rack mounted battery equipped bikes, and various models of patented Direct Drive™ and automatic transmission scooters which boast lowered
maintenance and higher reliability.
Please take a close look at what we have to offer. After doing so, we think you’ll agree that these unique new products are a perfect combination of performance and value. With affordable opening prices and a
complete range of products to choose from, our 2008 line of IZIP™ hybrid electric bicycles and electric scooters can help you save money at the gas pump and make a powerful statement about your commitment to
the environment.
IZIP™ We’re changing the way people move.

Electric bike law (UK)

2008-04-17T16:48:00.000-07:00

Electric bike law (UK)

PEDELEC
Is an electronic sensor near the pedal that senses when the pedals are turning and allows use of the hand throttle or engages the motor when activated. When you stop pedalling the motor stops giving automatic assistance.

E-BIKE
An e-bike has a throttle on the handlebars and when activated gives power to the motor. If the throttle is opened fully then full power is applied. If the throttle is partially opened then less power is used, (helping to conserve battery power and giving you choice as to how much assist you get). Motorisation and muscle power therefore work independently of one another, so if you don't want to pedal you don't have to (like an automatic moped). The throttle will automatically return to the off position when released.

The Law and Electric Bikes
According to EU regulations, pedelecs may have motor assistance of up to 250W & up to a maximum speed of 25km/h (UK: 200W, 15mph).
There is no requirement to wear a helmet but riders must be aged 14 years or over.

How do the United Kingdom regulations apply?
Despite attempts to harmonise rules throughout the EU, e-bike and pedelec legislation still varies from country to country within the EU. In the UK the EAPC Regulations 1983 (Statutory Instrument 1983 No 1168 ), permit both e-bikes and pedelecs - subject to a maximum motor-assisted speed of 15mph, maximum continuous power rating of 200W (250W for tandems and trikes) and maximum vehicle weight of 40kg including batteries (60kg for tandems and trikes).

FAQ

2008-04-17T14:43:00.000-07:00

Frequently asked questions

Regenerative Braking

Q- Do electric bikes recharge the batteries when going down hill?

A- Generally when going down hill on an electric bike at the bottom is another hill to get up, so if you coast down it you may get some way up the other side say 10%, before you need some power. Of course the faster you go down the further you will get up the other side. If you regenerate this power back into the battery instead. of gathering inertia, at the bottom of the hill you would use it up by the time you get !0% up the other side I reckon. Now if it was a very steep hill, say a 20%er, you could regenerate the top part of the hill and use the bottom to gather speed and this would be a good thing. From my research of bikes with regenerative braking, the power harnessed on a hill will get you 10% back up it. So the answer is yes.

Range
Q- How far can you go on a charge
A- This depends on your weight, how much you want to pedal and the size of the battery on your bike. An average size person with average pedalling input on a level surface is how the manufacturers work out their range. So range can be from 15 to 35 miles depending on your choice of bike and battery. Ring us if you would like more advice.
Recharging batteries
Q- How long does it take for batteries to recharge
A- This depends on the charger and the battery you have, some charge as quickly as 2 hours and others take 8; on average about 6.

The Law
Q- What is the law concerning electric bikes in the UK
A- If you are over the age of 14 you can ride an electric bike on the road. It should weigh less than 40kgs (60Kgs for tandems and trikes) have usable pedals, a motor not more than 200 watts continuous rating (250 for tandems and trikes), and not go faster than 15 mph. No insurance, Tax, or MOT is needed.

Are they efficient
Q-How efficient are electric bikes
A-They are very efficient, with the cost of petrol and the amount of it that gets turned into heat. An electric bike in car terms will get over 1000 miles per gallon!

Conversion kits
Q- can I convert my own bike to electric.
A- Yes you can. There are some good conversion kits on this site. How quick
How much quicker is an electric bike than a normal bike?
I find that with my electric bike I can 1/2 my journey time compared to a push bike. Apart from going faster I find the range I will travel by bike has much more than doubled.

The Presteigne Rally 08
Q- what is the date for the Presteigne Electric bike rally this year.
A- It is on the HerefordshirePowys border and linked with the Eco Fair. The date is May 18th.

How Quiet
Q- how much noise do they make
A- Electric bikes are Quiet. Some of them you have a job to hear, even when cycling in the countryside

Commuting
Q- Are electric bikes suitable for commuting?
They are an excellent way to start the day. People that commute on electric bikes find they can beat the traffic, go a more scenic direct way, not get to work sweaty, Save money on parking and fuel and enjoy their trip into work. Some park their car out side town or use a train to combine their trip with a folding bike.

Ecology
Q- What are the ecological advantages of riding an electric bike?
A- There are so many reasons to get out of your car and go electric - see Environmental Matters

The benefits
Q- What are the benefits of riding electric
A- I have written a page on what the benefits are.

Electric bike gearing
Q- Are different electric bikes geared differently
A- Yes some electric bikes are more designed for steep hill climbing and others are geared for more of a top speed and if you want to have both then you need to to think about getting a more powerful motor for your personal needs click here for our contact details.

Exploring the countryside
Q- Are electric bikes good for exploring the wilderness
A- Yes electric bikes are awesome for exploring places that are off the beaten track. If you want to escape the masses for a peaceful ride or walk then this is the ideal mode of transport to get you deeper into nature.

Guarantee
Q- What sort of guarantee do you give?
We will accept back your electric bike in a test ridden condition and exchange it for another. See the Gaurantte blog

Introduction to Electric Bikes

2008-04-17T13:54:00.001-07:00

Introduction to Electric Bikes

Electric Bikes have the same features of a standard bike, but of course there is one major advantage; with a powerful battery pack and an energy efficient motor operated by a throttle on the handlebars, you get the feeling of being pushed along by a strong invisible hand.

This greatly increases your speed and hill climbing ability. Passing cars in busy congested traffic is such a buzz!

It’s up to you how much you pedal, you can use the motor on its own or you can pedal along with the motor. If you do this, you can expect 15-40 miles per charge (depending on the model).

Recharge on 10p’s worth of electricity and get the equivalent of 1000+mpg! - or you can recharge with a solar or wind generator for a carbon neutral mode of transport.

Apart from the obvious economical & ecological advantages, Electric Mountain Bikes are sure to put a smile on the faces of everyone that has a GO!

The benefits of electric biking -and ordering your electric bike from us :)

1. You don't need a driving licence, logbook, MOT, road tax or insurance toride on the road in the UK. Cycle paths are open to electric bikes. Electric Mountain biking can be exhilarating on or off road.

With the electric motor, a new pace is set, and suddenly the element of speed must be respected. Young & Older and people with disabilities have found electric bikes greatly enhance their mobility.

2. The owner of http://www.electricmountainbikes.com/ knows what he is talking about. Steve Punchard has been living and breathing electric bikes for years and has an in-depth knowledge as to how they work and what is good or bad in an electric bike. For him electric biking is a way of life, so you can be sure to get the best possible advice from someone who knows!

3. Our 14-day return guarantee is unique. It really lets you test out the bike with complete confidence.

4. On top of all this we are a friendly family-run business who put customer service first and are on hand to answer any of your queries. We will be there to discuss the best options specifically for you, helping to choose a bike that suits your needs.

Benefits of electric biking

2008-04-17T12:57:00.000-07:00

Benefits of electric biking

Fun!
First Out - Electric Bikes are fun, everyone grins when they are riding a bicycle at speed, the feeling of the wind or the sun against you, the feeling of amazement at the power of a little battery and motor beneath you.

For everyone
The benefits of electric bikes are not only to be reaped by cyclist's that realise that they could cycle further and/or explore more out of their normal cycling zone when they get the assistance of an electric boost. Or that people can continue to ride their bike into their aging years. Those that would not even consider riding now can think again now it's possible to get a bit of a thrust of power along the way. Electric bikes certainly can take the hard work out of cycling, but that doesn't mean that the rider is being lazy - on the contrary, they will be exerting the effort that they would if they were walking and who would say someone was being lazy because they were walking and not running?

Compared to a car
Electric bikes make sense in a world that obviously needs to consider what vehicle we are going to use to get from A to B. Travelling by car these days is not the romantic picture it was 50 years ago. Now we're sitting in traffic that is a pain. The cost of fuel is a pain and the mess that is being made of the air our children breathe in is a pain too. So even though electric bikes need to be charged up which uses electricity, there is no comparison to the detriment to our environment compared to a car, whichever battery pack chemistry you use. There are many ways to make electricity and I know only one way to make petrol.

No sitting in traffic
Sitting in Traffic waiting your turn is not a benefit of driving a car especially when we are late for work, well I'll say no more except the speed at which you can overtake a stationary car is amazing!!

Low cost travel
Electric bicycles use an efficient motor to run them and the electricity that is needed is in the peanut bracket when it comes to getting your wallet or purse out.

No paperwork
You do not need a licence, a log book, an MOT, Insurance, tax disc or fossil fuels or even to wear a helmet (However it is a good Idea and I recommend it) to ride an electric bike on the road. However you do have to be at least 14 years of age. Although, I will say that roads are not always the place young electric bikers want to hang out.

To Rehabilitate
Electric bikes have proven to be a great way for people rehabilitating after long spells in hospital as a step towards getting back to being fighting fit again.

Mobility
Electric bikes can give mobility that an electric wheelchair can't.
Raising consciousness
If you own an electric bike and use it, others will see what an amazing investment you have made and see that electric bikes are a viable means of transport and just maybe they will join the revolution, get one for themselves, use it, and raise national consciousness and before we know it fighting has ceased, and electric vehicles are in common place and the ice caps have stopped melting.

It feels like I could go on forever with this page!

Environmental Matters

2008-04-17T12:55:00.000-07:00

Environmental matters

Everyone will know 'the inconvenient truth' that the planet we live on is getting too warm because there is too much carbon dioxide floating around in our atmosphere, and if we don't start to change our ways we could end up without any ice caps to keep the place cool - until the ice age kicks in that is.
Now the fact is, that this must not happen for the sake of the human race, and I'm pretty sure it wont because human kind are not so closely related to sheep! Or ostriches for that matter.

We all have to do what we have to do. What we need to do is change the way we do it. Recyclable carrier bags and more efficient light bulbs alone I don't think will be enough, but if we stop using our cars so much we will stand much more of a chance, and if enough of us do it the electric vehicle market will grow until electric cars become affordable by more of us, and for sure then we will be getting a handle on the whole situation.

Our guarantee

2008-04-17T12:49:00.000-07:00

Our unique guarantee to you

In an ideal world mistakes are never made, and things are perfect all the time. Back here on earth sometimes things don't always work out the way we would like them to and so 'good customer service' is needed.
The bottom line is that we will be more than fair; if you send back a bike within 14 days of purchase and it is still in A1 condition we will exchange it for another bike of your choice.
We will resell the bike you have sent back at a reduced rate to a customer that doesn't mind a bike that has been test ridden. Now this means the bike will not be caked in mud or very dirty, scratched and resembling a second hand bike, but in "new" test ridden condition. Who else offers you this?
All our bikes carry at least a years' warranty on the frames and the running gear, and generally 6 months on the batteries.
You may wonder "why only 6 months warranty on the battery?" This is because it is the one component on the bike that can deteriorate very quickly if not treated in the correct manner. Care must taken to recharge the battery when it needs recharging and not bashing it about. Instructions will be delivered with your bike to tell you how to get the best performance out of it. (It's not a technical matter.)
Not only does this guarantee not affect your statutory rights- it enhances them!
Heinzmann give a 2 year warranty with their products (not inc battery).

How Electric Bikes Work

2008-04-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

How Electric Bikes Work

The majority (but not all, see - the Currie electro-drive at the bottom of page) of Electric bikes today have the motor built into the hub of the front or rear wheel, the spokes go from the hub to the rim to make the complete wheel.

There is often a throttle on the handlebars that when turned sends a signal to the controller, which is a little box of electronics that distributes the power from the battery to the motor. This controller makes riding the bike a smooth experience rather than just switching the power on and off like a light bulb.

Riding an electric bike without a controller would be like driving a car that the only way to control it was to have it flat out or nothing at all.
All wires on an electric bike go to the controller then from it to where the power is needed - at the motor. I mentioned earlier the throttle; throttle is another word for a switch. On the handlebars, unless you have a bike that is controlled by pedelec only, there is normally either a motorcycle-type twist throttle that springs to the off position when released and is variable, and is twisted right back for full power. Alternatively sometimes there is a thumb throttle that does the same thing but instead of twisting your hand to make it go, you just push a spring loaded lever with your thumb and release it when you don't need power. This kind of throttle is simpler to use than the twist type - maybe for someone that has never used a motorcycle throttle before, but users have been Known to get an aching thumb on longer journeys. Either type of throttle become intuitive after a short time.

Electric bikes use different battery technologies, and the price of the bike normally reflects the weight of the battery pack. The idea with electric bikes is that you charge the battery up when you are not using the bike. Normally the battery can be removed from the bike and charged from domestic electricity or via a solar panel or wind generator set-up. Depending on the battery and the charger type the time it takes to charge them fully generally ranges from 4 to 8 hours. if you are using your bike for work maybe a charge up during the day can replenish your battery for the journey home.

The Currie electro-drive is a conversion kit that fits onto the frame of a bike and has an adaption plate that fits over the spokes of a 36 spoke rear wheel and drives the spokes round to turn the wheel. The adaption plate is rotated by a small chain connected to the motor via a planetary gear reducer.

HEINZMANN RETRO FIT KIT

INTRO

Heinzmann electric bikes and kits are made in Germany - a country that is renowned world over for it's engineering skills & reliability; their bikes and kits are the BMW's or Mercedes Benz of the electric biking world. Bikes and likewise retofit kits are custom built and configured to order so there are a large array of extras such as upgraded suspension, front forks, rohloff 14 speed gears, right down to upgraded tyres and much more. (See the specification page of the particular bike for more details.) The Heinzmann's have two choices of controlling the power getting to the motor. One is by means of a thumb throttle or a twist throttle; the other is via their pedelec system, which has the added safety feature of not allowing the throttle to be used unless it senses that the pedals are turning. If you want to give a power boost when you are not pedalling then the pedelec option will not be needed.Heinzmann calculate the range with the rider giving average pedalling.They also offer a 2 year warranty on their products.

Rear wheel Li-Ion 9.0Ah 36V £1,255.00 (spare lithium battery£595)
The new digital system incorporates several new features to improve ride and economy.

The digital twist grip now includes a battery status display and push-buttons for on/off and an “ECO” mode.

Battery status LEDs give a true reading of remaining battery capacity and include a fault display in the event of a failed or incorrectly connected system component.ECO mode allows the user to limit the power delivered to the motor, whilst attaining the full speed range, this allows the rider to extend battery range when high power operation is not required.

Also, for the pedelec versions, the start-assistance has an increased performance to enable standing starts tobe fully aided for heavy load carrying or steep inclines. Start assistance for the pedelec version powers therider to 3.5mph (6km/h) without having to pedal. Above this speed motor assistance will only continue to be provided whilst pedalling.

Lithium Battery Technology

Two new 36V batteries have been introduced to replace the older NiCd and NiMH versions.

The newbatteries are based on Li-Ion technology and are available in 6.0Ah and 9.0Ah versions, weighing in at 2.3kg and 4kg respectively.
Range in pedelec mode is estimated at 19m (30km) for the 6.0Ah version and 32m(50km) for the 9.0Ah version (Based on average pedalling and 100kg total weight including rider).
Kits come with a single battery although additional batteries can be ordered to either double the range or allow a quick turnaround following the end of a ride.These Li-Ion batteries incorporate the best in battery technology and quality and have undergone extensive testing alongside the Heinzmann drive system offering lower weight, increased range and greater flexibility, in terms of charging requirements compared with their predecessors.The batteries include their own battery management systems and charge status is shown locally on the battery case as well as on the digital twist grip.The batteries are designed to fit into a removable, weatherproof, soft fabric protection case with locking facilities and may be fitted to either side of the luggage carrier. Also inside a rucksack works well for the offroaders as it keeps the weight of the bike down which improves handlingBattery charging may be carried out on or off the bike.
Charging times for the 6.0Ah and 9.0Ah are around 6 hours and 10 hours respectively.
For existing users of Heinzmann kits with 36V NiCd battery technology, upgrading to Li-Ion batteries is possible without changes to existing drive system.
For existing users of Heinzmann kits with 36V NiMHbattery technology, upgrading to Li-Ion is possible but will require controller modification.Weight Retrofit kit: approx. 7kg total weight with 1 battery (6.0Ah)approx. 9.3kg total weight with 2 battery boxes (6.0Ah)motor 3.5kg, Battery box (6.0Ah) 2.3kg
The battery for this Kit now comes in a pannier as in the photo below.

Heinzmann Retro fit kitHeinzmann make both motors for the front and rear wheel with varying hill climbing abilities and speed capabilities.The Heinzmann kits cater to the on and off road market.

There are two types of hand throttles to choose from, either a twist grip "Motorcycle style" throttle or a thumb throttle.

From April 08 Heinzmann have made a few smart changes in the technology department. Firstly they have joined the 21st century with their relentlessly tested lithium technology batteries, thus saying goodbye to the having to discharge your battery completely before recharging to avoid the dreaded memory effect. Now we can recharge after each ride. (much more simple) The Weight of this new technology battery is a fraction of the old Ni Cad and Ni-Mh batteries. Now the new batteries are stored in the neat purpose built pannier on the rack instead of a silver box clamped to the rack, giving it a bit less monster look and a more of a swish look.

Those of us that choose to put the batteries in our rucksacks are enjoying the lighter ride as you can imagine.The Heinzmann retrofit kit comes with 2 different lithium technology battery sizes to suit range needs and pleny of differently geared and powered motors to choose from, front or rear wheel drive options and a choice of thumb operated or twist grip throttles.

Digital System Info

The new digital system incorporates several new features to improve ride and economy.

The digital twist grip now includes a battery status display and push-buttons for on/off and an “ECO” mode.

Battery status LEDs give a true reading of remaining battery capacity

ECO mode allows the user to limit the power delivered to the motor, whilst attaining the full speed range. This allows the rider to extend battery range when high power operation is not required.

Lithium Battery Technology Info

Two new 36V batteries have been introduced to replace the older NiCd and NiMH versions. The new batteries are based on Li-Ion technology and are available in 6.0Ah and 9.0Ah versions, weighing in at 1.9kg and 3.5kg respectively.

Range is estimated at 20miles (30km) for the 6.0Ah version and 32miles (50km) for the 9.0Ah version (Based on average pedalling and 100kg total weight including rider).

Kits come with a single battery although additional batteries can be ordered to either double the range or allow a quick turnaround at your journey end.

These Li-Ion batteries incorporate the best in battery technology and quality and have undergone extensive testing alongside the Heinzmann drive system offering lower weight, increased range and greater flexibility, in terms of charging requirements compared with their predecessors.

The batteries include their own battery management systems and charge status is shown locally on the battery case as well as on the digital twist grip.

The batteries are designed to fit into a removable, weatherproof, soft fabric protection case with locking facilities and may be fitted to either side of the luggage carrier. Also inside a rucksack works well for the offroaders as it keeps the weight of the bike down which improves handling

Battery charging may be carried out on or off the bike.

Charging times for the 6.0Ah and 9.0Ah are around 5 hours and 8 hours respectively.

The weight of the Retrofit kit is approx. 7kg total weight with 1 battery (6.0Ah)

approx and 8.5 kg total weight with 2 batteries (6.0Ah)

Motor weight approx. 3.5kg.

The6.4ah & the 9.0ah batteries weigh 1.9Kg and 3.5 Kg respectively.

HEINZMANN RETROFIT KIT / CONVERSION KIT INFORMATION

Heinzmann make both motors for the front and rear wheel with varying hill climbing abilities and speed capabilities.The Heinzmann kits cater to the on and off road market. There are two types of hand throttles to choose from, either a twist grip "Motorcycle style" throttle or a thumb throttle.

From April 08 Heinzmann have made a few smart changes in the technology department. Firstly they have joined the 21st century with their relentlessly tested lithium technology batteries, thus saying goodbye to the having to discharge your battery completely before recharging to avoid the dreaded memory effect. Now we can recharge after each ride. (much more simple) The Weight of this new technology battery is a fraction of the old Ni Cad and Ni-Mh batteries. Now the new batteries are stored in the neat purpose built pannier on the rack instead of a silver box clamped to the rack, giving it a bit less monster look and a more swish look. Those of us that choose to put the batteries in our rucksacks are enjoying the lighter ride as you can imagine.

The Heinzmann retrofit kit comes with 2 different lithium technology battery sizes to suit range needs and over 20 differently geared and powered motors to choose from, front or rear wheel drive are available and there is a choice of thumb operated or twist grip throttles. Also there is an eco mode button to extend your battery range.

• 36V motor

• Twist-grip

• Battery

• Battery soft case

• Control unit

• Battery charger

ABOUT US

2008-04-14T13:30:00.000-07:00

-2007-
At Electric mountainbikes.com we're dedicated to, and passionate about making electric bikes a common place mode of transport on our roads, in our forests and about our countryside.
The benefits of electric bikes are countless: - they're health giving, fuel-efficient and time-saving and above all - GREAT FUN!!
We are based in a hilly rural area of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and we use our electric bikes to conquer some of the gruelling 25% hills that are often the bane of many cycle missions.
Spending time getting to know the machines we deal with is what we do in our spare time, even though we do tend to remind ourselves constantly that in fact we are "working".

-2008-
As our web name electricmountainbikes suggests, we enjoy to ride our steeds in off road conditions as well as for a romantic pedal down to our local for a couple of well earned jars on a summers' evening. We retro-fit our mountain bikes with Heinzmann conversion kits and take to some of the UK's best swooping fast rolling tracks on the North Yorkshire moors.
With our power hubs engaged, parts of tracks that before did not have the flowing feeling simply because they are uphill, give us a new challenge as we now have more speed on the up-hills than we could have ever dreamt of before! I must say that when I finish a ride I feel just as exercised as I would if I had not had the power, but the big difference is that I feel more energized as the route took half the time and so less time between adrenaline rushes!
We are constantly tweaking and developing ideas to build the ultimate in on and off road electric biking.
We are also dedicated to working to conserve the environment we live in, for us and our future generations, and that is why we have decided to pour our efforts into a market that desperately needs to create some credibility in these pioneering days for electric vehicles as a whole.

-2010-
Now living on the North York moors, Steep hills are abundant, In fact dirt bikes are more the run of the mill around here. Not for me though!! I need to keep pedalling to keep my boat afloat. I need "enough" power to continue enjoying myself as I did before we moved to one of the most hilly parts of the UK. Coupled with reliability and efficiency I found Heinzmann ticked all the boxes. Hill climbing ability was paramount. My hobby has now gladly become my work, which keeps me happy and busy. Recording a blog about that hobby has changed my lifestyle to the extreme. I now have lots of experience in bringing together the right bicycle with the right motor and the right battery to help my customers make the right choice. Quality parts are the key. Many dealers can offer you the best of a bunch, but I can find out what is needed and build the complete bike to your requirements. Even basic needs such as a choice of frame sizes are not available with many e bike manufacturers. I build bikes to suit the riders' needs. Almost any type of bike can be converted, whether it is your own bike, an idea, or something from my unique range.

2011 - We have moved back to our roots after the North York Moors experiance, which is the birth place of Electric Mountain Bikes. We are Now based in the Glastonbury area in Somerset. A different climate all together!! Now you can now call us on 01458 550304
