Now, why can't they do something twice the size (and twice the range and top speed) for twice the money? Then, they'd *really* have something to sell.

That would be nice Martin. I will spend money on a Chinese electric bike when it is full size, can hit 90+mph, has 100+ mile range, and costs around $5k.

They wouldn't even have to double the size. Just a larger motor and battery would make it a reasonable 300 lbs or so. Perfect given the added range and speed.

I agree with the previous comment. I'd even go for 50% more range and 50% more top speed and they would have something at say $2,999 that would sell faster than they could make. the 6 hour charge time sounds high but that is, I assume, at 3 amps. at 7Amps that would be literally half the time but the time to 80% would be within a couple of hours. charging always drops to a snails pace at 80%.
Defiantly want one of these.

Nice to see electric bike starting to take shape, Agree with Martin however this is just the start, in future we'll get bigger faster, longer endurance bikes, see this ! :https://newatlas.com/ethec-2wd-electric-motorcycle/55021/
Likely not of the affordable range but just to show that bigger bikes in an affordable class should become reality in the next few years.

nevermind the link i posted, this is the real deal (pricey i'm sure though) :D

Keep in mind the average weight of the average chinese rider.
Now consider the average weight of the average American biker. Close to doubled. Or more. That's going to affect range. (America, you've gone and gotten fat and lazy)

Balls...That top speed kills it for me since I have to commute across a bridge and freeway where I'd get mowed over at 46mph.

For more universal appeal and to be practical it could include a step-through frame, like a scooter or Honda 50, instead of a diminutive boy-racer wannabe. But like they say, there's an ass for every seat.
