Rayos (formerly ElecTrec) Electric Bike
Here's the next big step in
electric bike price/performance. Imagine a bike similar to the well-regarded pre-2006 Currie
bike with a full suspension frame, a better battery system, a motorcycle-style
kickstand, better drive system, and superior quality throughout!
Like the Currie, the Rayos has
a lot of torque, independent human and electric drive systems, and a
drive system that freewheels when not in use. The electronics
shut the motor off at 80% battery discharge to avoid a full discharge
(which really shortens the life of lead-acid batteries). The
Rayos is an 8-speed bike that uses standard bike parts. Seats,
handlebars, brakes and other non-electric parts can be found at a
supercenter or bike store. Electric parts can be obtained from
Rayos dealers or the
manufacturer.
The 2008 Rayos succeeds the highly popular ElecTrec and LashOut bikes. Improvements over the LashOut include:
- a high-end 600-watt MAC Hi-Torque Brushless Motor that climbs hills and accelerates very well.
- a direct-drive freewheeling propulsion system with oversized bearings for reliability.
- sealed bottom bracket.
- improved front suspension (107mm travel).
- and 8-Speed Shimano Altus Derailleur with protector.
- a 14 amp-hour 24-volt battery system for extended range.
