Comments on: Our Choice for an E-Bike: TidalForce M-750 http://www.metaefficient.com/electric-bikes/our-choice-for-an-e-bike-tidalforce-m-750.html The Guide To Efficient Living Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:10:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Brian Smith http://www.metaefficient.com/electric-bikes/our-choice-for-an-e-bike-tidalforce-m-750.html/comment-page-1#comment-128132 Brian Smith Sun, 05 Sep 2010 08:39:06 +0000 http://s31669.gridserver.com/?p=154#comment-128132 This bike has a lot going for it. It's sexy and sophisticated. And like many things in this life that fit that description, it's also expensive. Actually, it's VERY expensive. If you must have this bike, I have 2 x M-750's and 2 x S-750's for sale. They are very lightly used, but need replacement batteries. I plan on replacing the front wheel, if they don't sell, with a regular bike wheel and using LiFePo4 battery for twice the range and less weight. Email from sdelectricbike.com for more info on purchasing please. A really nice feature is that it automatically limits your speed to the legal 21mp. Having travelled over 50mph on electric bicycles, it's the traffic not the lawmen I want to worry about. This bike has a lot going for it. It’s sexy and sophisticated.

While it certainly looks pretty, that only gives them 1/4. It's not the lack of people buying e-bikes that drove them out, it's the competition.

Only a short while after introducing the M-750X (higher powered version of this bike), Wavecrest recently announced they were giving up. They were having too hard a time of selling electric bikes in the US (where roads and communities are just not set up for anything smaller than a car) and decided to throw in the towel. If you can find a Tidalforce still for sale, buy it. There may not be a product of comparable quality and capability available for purchase for decades to come.

They probably say "Gross Payload" to clarify that it means the rider plus all panniers, etc. Payload means the amount a vehicle can carry.

I don't think that's the bike weight. Sure hope it's not, for their sake! Maybe they mean 'maximum bike and passenger combined weight'? From the site:
