I had osteomyelitis 12 years ago, which is chronic…and after I wrecked on my board, we found out that it had come back and was eating through my femur. So not directly related to my wreck, but we found it because of it!

IMO that’s light for a motorized bike. way back when i had an R6 it was (380)lbs/ (172)kg dry. (123) HP/(90) kW so that’s a power to weight of only 0.7/kg
i’d say your power to weight ratio is probably superior to many similar form factors out there, really nice work. still nervous about no front brake tho…

I think he is waiting on the rotor or that was a before picture. Plan was no brake. I pleaded, he laughed at me. A good deal popped up, so he decided to appease me. I can ride without a rear brake on a m/c or bike. Not as fast, but still can. No front brake and I’d die.

I believe Big Kev is indeed working with RION in some capacity.

yeppers, already got the 24S ready, just a matter of swapping.
It’s currently wired for dual adc throttle, it will be using a single throttle that does accel and braking, the same enclosed one used in the freesk8 remote

quick tire update… nothing goes as planned lol
this 26x2.8 tire has a larger diameter than the 26x3 it’s replacing which had a few mm gap from the fork arch, this tire was rubbing against the arch, a few minutes of haphazard dremeling and clearance achieved
