Title: More balanced/centered weight on the Pie
Post by: 5tonica on May 12, 2010, 03:54:01 PM

Am I the only one that thinks that the battery shouldn't be in a rear rack but somehow in the middle of the frame??? Any ideas? Did someone already try it?

I agree with you.

But the actual GM battery is too big to put inside my bike frame keeping easy to remove for recharge at home. They should design another battery to be fitted inside the frame as an option. I like the Bionx solution, as an example.

I like the battery at the rear also, it is very convenient to be there, but the weight distribution is not ok when you use rear motors.

Maybe GM should have like their own frame (as an option) with battery in it. The best of all would be a full suspension bike without the "magic rack" ... I bet if you have a word with CALOI engineers the figure out something...  ;D
