are there speed limits on a bike? (not sarcasm) where are the cops?

Mine runs at 48V and I've never experienced a shock or anything. DC current is much safer in a shock anyway, Alternating Current will stop your heart given the right path..
Most of the kits come with a fuse, and most builders know to put one in if building from scratch.
If anyone is interested in building one of these, you have to use a bike that has steel dropouts for the wheel, and if you're mounting it on the front wheel, it can't have shocks on the front fork.

Hehe That thing really gets along, is it running the standard voltage ? will it handle more ?

I'm worried about the high DC voltage. Obv. high volts are good for generating power w/o loads of weight, but I've heard the reason aviation stopped at 24V is 'cause much higher (DC) risks greivous bodily harm...do you feel safe against the possibiliyt of a short?

Umm okay there is a diffrence here bud. The bike racks carry the bike above ground..theyre not traveling on the ground where it would be a world's diffrence.

I have been upwards of 80mph on mine..on a smooth surface.

heat and bad roads does that res mines blew up

Road bikes can easily be pedaled up to 40MPH, so your telling me the 5 more MPH can destroy them? Nah, try again later

electric bikes dont have gas only battery and tires wear out fast at that speed and blow up and force uncontroled turns

No why would it? |
