I'm thinking of building one and if it goes well to do one in Fil. Here you may buy the motorized wheel and lithium battery as part of a kit. All that I have seen come from China although on line they seem to be manufactured in other places as well. Kit prices run from 2-8 hundred while completed bikes range from $600 to over $5k. Thought it might be fun to use in town. Has anyone seen them? I did not notice any last year but wasn't looking. I too live in SW FL and haven't seen many. Of course my kids each have a hoverboard and electric dirt bikes but that's not the same. Where I've seen them a lot for sale is in Ph malls.

Tukaram (Tim) Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Here in Iloilo we have a few stores selling them (CD-R King was first), but I see almost none on the road. I have seen some e-trikes (or chariots), but almost no personal e-bikes. The signs at the store push the "no helmet, no registration, no license" bit... but I have no idea what the law actually is on them. I would not trust the store ha ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be registered and here is how to do it. http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/01/13/17/how-to-register-your-e-bike-at-the-lto (Like you said, Tim, I would not trust the store if they are telling you that you do not need to register your e-bike) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start looking a lot of semi blue hairs have them hear in Port Charlotte sort of stealth as the battery pack looks like a large water jug. You spot them running 10=15 mph and not sweating or pedaling. must be that I'm thinking of doing (one to keep fit don't you know) that I notice .

Gerald Glatt Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 Just watched several videos of the electric jeepneys in Manila and spotted one with a trike. 10 passenger 120 km range using lead acid batteries. Australia or New Zealand company so might work. Couldn't find a price, from the looks nor cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
