That bike doesn't look like the 200cc Suzuki X5 Hustler of my early riding days.  My how times have changed.   ;)

120 pounds? Seems .. unlikely.

4 AllCell 3610 modules (PDF (http://www.allcelltech.com/images/act/ebike/allcell_36v_ebike.pdf)) are 37V 10.4Ah @ 4.8 lbs. Pulse discharge is 26A (< 2s), continuous discharge is 20A.

4 modules would yield 74V nominal 20.8Ah. Continuous discharge is 40A, or 3 kW. They say they have "up to" 100A controller, which should support up to 8 kW. Seems like they're running the battery modules way outside spec to reach 80 mph.

Not really sure what they're going for here, honestly. Normally Crystalyte motors are hub motors, and the rear wheel appears to have a hub motor mounted. There's pretty clearly a bicycle style chain going to the rear wheel. Is there a pedal assist?

@Protomech- I am not sure. Hanebrink is a fat tire bicycle builder with some electric stuff on their bikes. There is just so little info on the thing. It's obvious that its not a full sized motorcycle but what's not obvious is its intended use. It sure looks cool though!

If you look at the X4, you can see how they use their hub motor. It's not in the hub! Rather its mounted in the middle of the bike. It's strange to see the gears out there, like on a bicycle. I wonder if that arrangement can take the forces from a strong electric motor. Hopefully somebody will be able to take it for a ride and review it.
