Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
www.revopower.com/ is the motor-wheel web site.
some specs are:
---25cc two-stroke (clean emission design)
---1 hp (horse power)
---clutch automatically engages when engine is running.
---starts by a hand throttle and pedaling (requires both).
---7500 rpm max with auto-clutch disengages if you go faster by peddling or going down a hill.
---gears (transmission) are inside giving a high bike speed at a much lower rpm and resulting in a longer engine life than other small engines.
---20 mph was chose as a safe speed for average bike brakes to stop an average person.
---200 mpg (miles per gallon)
---15 lbs (weight) adds only about 12 lbs to bike because it replaces a 3 lbs wheel.
---riding balance of bike (in my scientific opinion) should be more stable than the original bike because of the additional rotating mass? again, in my opinion.
---"standing still" balance of bike (according to revopower.com)is hardly affected because of low/centered placement of motor between the bike forks. No other gas motor has this balance and location.
---65 dB of noise at 7.5m (is that quiet? I don't know)
---extremely low emissions, meets EPA regulations.
---No idle when stopped, means No emissions when stopped.
Some of the other comments from other people were just to get attention in a negative way. I hope they will try to get it in a positive way as they get more life experience. Please don't learn from them.
I too think it would be safer to go 30 mph in a 25 mph zone because 99% of the cars would NOT PASS. but at 20 mph 99% WILL PASS. Passing is unsafe for both car and bike and I hate being passed on a bike for that reason.
So I emailed "Revopower" to ask for a 30 mph speed option. I would be willing to sign a safety waver and supply my own brake upgrade for safety.
I want one because I believe the bike would be just as easy to use before or after the motor is installed.
And it will be the lightest usable moped ever made.
And installation can be done by any one who can take off a front wheel (and that is most people).
And last, I can carry it up a stairs or on a bike rake or throw it in the car.
The inventor was trying to solve a problem by providing a cheap and low fuel usage vehicle for the masses.
How many for the complainers are hypocrites and how many have done anything positive to anytime in life?
Most of us are decent and caring most of the time and we all have our off days I suppose.
I can't wait for this new product!!
I Want one too! Wherenthehell can I get one, please?
