Some criminal activity unfolded in Kassel (a city to the north of Frankfurt) and it got into the HR news (regional public TV).
Most of you have seen the new e-bicycles....basically a regular bike with a battery pack added and capable of 15-to-20 kph speeds. With some added pedaling and a straight path, you might even get up to the 40-to-50 kph speeds.
Well...cops came upon this guy who'd gone and done a custom kit change to his e-bike. He was now capable of 100 kph. Yes.....it's basically around 62 mph.
Illegal? Enough that they can confiscate the bike. Odds of hundreds of these bikes out there? Oh, I could believe that.
Where'd the kit parts come from? Australia. Anyone could apply the kit and in an hour or two.....get some turbo-powered e-bike.
Interesting picture of the bike at the web site I cited up above. Worth a review.
