Electric bikes...seems its going to be very convenient in the future, no need clutch

 

i foresee able to takeout the battery pack and hand carry it to go office or home to charge or maybe petrol stations able to replace one to one battery packs.

 

no clutch, no spark plugs, no transmission, essentially you take out alot of the maintenance cost which will bankrupt many current bike repair shops...

 

lithium ion 18650 is awesome...

 

for smaller bikes, making it electric will be even better, better environment no pollution...

Electric vehicles are nice. Clean, torquey. The only problem is range and recharge. You get sh1t range, and the recharge time is a really frakking b1tch.

 

The best way, as you mentioned would be to have a paid one to one battery exchange at stations. But the only way that would work if a vehicular battery standard was implemented. Only one type of battery, everywhere in the world. That way you can pull into a station, pay them for a swap. You pull out your exhausted batt, give it to them, and they give you a fully charged replacement.

 

Otherwise, long journeys are gonna be a big hassle.

will not happen in the near future at least 50 years bec petrol is good income. Imagine if all switch to battery powered all the petrol station close down unless all of them switch to battery which i doubt they can do it, most probably some other battery company will take over.

 

petrol is basis of our enconomy thats why all this hybrid car and electric car were not being used much or promoted in any country in the world.

Mainly because the big oil companies spend millions to lobby Govts against clean or renewable energy.

There was a car by volkwagen which got banned by US for being too fuel efficient. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/621155-volkswagen-xl1-banned-in-united-states-because-its-too-fuel-efficient/

I think it will not happen so soon too as Oil business is a good business.. Imagine why Electric cars is not being developed properly?

Long long time ago. discussed this with another biker guy who was trying to get his cashcard/creditcard charging stations installed and working at carparks. Unfortunately, LTA, HDB and so on gives a huge point here, point there, but never gave go ahead kinda situation.

 

Gave up. And well, whatever scooter from China that was already rampant in use in Cambodia rural area shipment went back to Cambodia.

 

In the rural kampong areas. Each family equip themselves with their own generators, especially when Electric black outs are common. So them charging up their bikes during the evenings is common. And they keep their bikes in the house with them.
