The Skymax even with the 125cc combustion engine is a toy, so the electric version that is only classified as 50cc is even more of a toy.


But I cannot help but imagine a more powerful electric motor in the same form on a larger frame.


I cannot see a drive chain/belt on any of these?

the motor is in the rear hub the plastic engine is just for show probably holds a battery in there, what Zorge posted looks like the real deal though look like a actual means of transport.

and why is that?

[Kennon]

most these website that have good info are normally european websites, plus the only skyteams i have ever seen here are 50cc supermoto's.

northern ireland is part of the United kingdom: England, Wales, Scotland and northern Ireland dispite old fueds still occassionally going on over there.

for such a small electric bike its priced pretty high with £300 discount then part exchange of another £800 taken off i only paid £200 more for my supermoto than that and i would much rather have something that can legally go on motorways and do the distance.

Dublin is not in the UK, Belfast is, Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland.

It is priced high likely because of the lithium battery, they offer very little information on them, they likely are keep to the right vehicles or to the left in the UK, else you will be run over.

sorry my bad didnt read what you put clearly, i don't understand when you say "they likely are keep to the right vehicles or to the left in the UK" do you mean riding in the gutter as its called as that would be the less safe thing to do being on the dirty part of the raod where there is less grip and your less likely to be seen, when i rode my 50cc scooter it was much safer to be in the middle of your lane to be seen and be on the clean part if people are in a rush they can overtake at their own safety nothing is forcing them to take unecessary risks. the most common cause of bike accidents in england are "sorry mate I didnt see you" for this reason my bike is loud so its heard and has a HID conversion for better safety at night.
