I'm done building hybrid bikes. This is the first and last hybrid bike that I will ever build. It's too expensive, too time consuming, it's not 50-state legal and most importantly you can't ride that bike, with those tires, on a public beach.....even if I removed the gas engine. There is no federal or state law against riding an electric bike on a public. No electric bike currently exists that can effortlessly ride on the beach without having to pedal at some point. The Hanebrink comes close but it looks too much like a mini-bike for my tastes. The next bike I build will be able to hit a street curb head-on at under 10mph and just harmlessly roll right over it. It will have an electric motorcycle engine mounted in the frame rated at 6hp with 19hp peak. I'm done with electric hubs as well. E-hubs work great for what they do on the street but it's just not enough to handle loose California beach sand for an extended distance.
