You might find this interesting. Built by recumpence, also the maker of this.

A Bugatti has a power/weight ratio of 4.2lbs/hp.

This e-bike has 14 Horsepower and it weighs >50lbs. It has close to 3lbs/horsepower. That is only beaten by the fastest superbikes and indy cars.

That is what I'm talking about! 14hp is what I want in my ebike (not this one I will build for my brother), but in mountain bike form. So what motors are being used? Brushed?

Actually, to be fair this thing has a power to weight of more like 16lb/HP if you actually have someone riding it!

Hey, that gives me an idea, R/C controlled ebike!
