VOLT CANADA introduces it all new 60 VOLT e-bikes, these bikes have a 120 km range and are capable of a 35 degree incline. 60 VOLT... 20/5 HOUR

So watt are they trying to say here? Five 20Ah SLA batts in series for 60V? So doing the math...
60V x 20Ah = 1200Wh... but ya NEVER want to drain those batts down below 20%, so
1200Wh x 80% = 960Wh

...and they are claiming a range of 120km (on one charge I assume) so...
960Wh / 120km = 8Wh/km...

And that's ridiculous.

Next lucky bidder up... Ashaley again! Bids of $254 on three separate Gio 500W's... Ashaley must have a large family! At the rate these auctions are closing right now on the Gio site Gio will be selling 7,729 of these over the next 365 daze...

If Gio is making money at these prices, it's hard to imagine how cheap these this must be to buy from the China manufacturers...

"...I HAVE A GIZIBO IN MY BACK YARD..."

Odd... when Google Streetview drove by his place last spring there was no gazebo in the back yard... maybe it's new... maybe GIZIBO is Swahili for "garage"...
biggrin

Ohhh!Eight minutes to go on the latest auction and username "pocketbikecanada86" just upped the bid to $260... poor Ashaley!

pocketbikecanada86? That's probably these guyz:
http://www.pocketbike...

Wow! They're listing the Gio at $419.45 Taxes Included! (plus UPS Priority shipping and handling charges)

BTW, from the pocketbikecanada site:
Pocket Bike Canada is looking for promo girls in cities across Canada to promote and hand out flyers. Each Pocket Bike Canada girl will make a commission on the monthly sales in their city. As a Pocket Bike Canada promotion girl you will be asked to represent Pocket Bike Canada in a professional, outgoing and fun manner. Flyers will be supplied to all chosen girls with their desired name and a photo of them beside our products.


...AND pocketbikecanada86 wins the bidding and takes home another shiny new Gio 500W for only $260!

Does anyone else think this is all a nightmare???

BTW on the pocketbikecanada site they describe the Gio 500W as:
"Motor power: CPU motor, 350W,(peak 500w), Brushless motor"

...pretty gutless for a 168lb ebike...

Here's one you won't believe. I almost bought that same bike a few months ago. He was selling it for $700. Changed my mind after seeing the GIO website. He claimed it was worth a lot more than what he was selling it for biggrin.

Same guy is selling his other ebike on craigslist right now here http://toronto.en.cra...

Now THAT is funny! ... Daymak is listing their Austin at $999+taxes right now...
http://www.daymak.com...
...and the reason for the craigslist listing at $450 obo when the ebike is only one year old and said to be in excellent condition ("only needing a chain")is???

Hard to believe the Gio is now his preferred ride
