How do you convert to slick? How much damage?

Just go to your local bike shop and say want to change tyre to slick tyres. May need to change tubes too.

This enable you to ride 15-20 percent faster on road compared to the knobby tyres.

The thinner the tyre, faster and easier to pedal.

Would you recommend super fast electric bicycle that can easily go over 100 km/h?

Don't if you are a newbie. Those bike are 5x heavier/harder to handle. sweat.gif

Is the handling the same as kapchai? I would love to see reaction of other motorists on hway as they are watching a dude cycling on a bicycle overtaking them.

If you were used to ride kapchai, you will caught of guard riding it. Throttle is way twitchier, if not careful you will easier lift-up the front end. Weight distribution is bad. Heavier on the rear. Also unsprung weight of the motor feels unnatural. That what i get from my first ride on one of this. Forgot the model number but the name sounded like sauron or something. Yeah. Its scary. shakehead.gif
