1 Introduction Background

UltraTrek Electric Bikes LLC has been a leading innovator in the Fat Tire Bikes industry and was one of Fat Tire Bikes first manufacturers in 2008 (See Appendix A) They were also the first United States manufacturer of Fat Tire Electric Bikes in 2013

Their first E-Bike was a front-wheel drive system (holding three design patents - see Appendix B) The 750-watt bicycle had the power and torque to climb a set of stairs and safely cycle up and over obstacles that may pose a dangerous threat to a rider on a different system Their electric bikes also feature an 8-speed rapid-fire shifter and derailleur allowing the rider to use the bicycle for exercise and power on for electric features at any time

The knobby fat tire acts as a shock absorber so the electric bike provides a safe stable and comfortable ride on any terrain from street pavement to soft sand rocky bike trails and even through snow

The patented ultra-light symmetrical rim design was instrumental in setting two world cycling records (See Appendix C)

Throughout the manufacturing years and through the innovation of lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr (See Mr Coghillrsquos Biography ndash Appendix D) the company has made many enhancements to the electric bike design based on customer feedback and advancements in technology

As the leader in this industry the company holds three patents and has four patents currently pending We are the top manufacturer of Fat Tire Electric Bicycles with patents world records engineering reports to prove our standing Through our years of experience we can consistently recognize dangerous products being introduced in our industry Our focus is to provide safe products and protect the consumer from flawed designs and knock-offs that are dangerous

In 2018 the company introduced a revolutionary dual-motor electric bicycle system at the InterBike industry trade show on Tuesday September 18 2018 in Reno Nevada

Having seven years of consumer feedback and applying new technology to an electric bicycles physical properties UltraTrek Electric Bikes has made significant modifications to their Fat Tire Electric Bike design and will soon introduce one of their most innovative models to date The E2-Terminator

2 Abstract Business Case

Many competitors have manufactured similar electric bikes throughout the Electric Bicycle industrys evolution that infringed on our companys patented designs Many Fat Tire Electric Bikes manufacturers have systems that have significant disadvantages to the consumer

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 4

And many manufacturers have designed Fat Tire Electric Bikes that pose an outright danger to the rider This is most definitely the case with rear and mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike designs and therefore this white papers focus We want to inform the public and retail vendors of Fat Tire Electric Bikes of the imminent danger inherent to both mid and rear-drive systems

3 Problem Statement Introduction

Mid and Rear Drive System Safety Issues

The following was reported on our website in May 2017 in an article titled Front-Wheel Drive Safety (fattirebikepartscom) Front-Wheel Drive is The Safest Fat Tire Bike on the Market Today The evidence has become increasingly apparent Rear-wheel and mid-wheel electric systems can pose serious dangers for the rider especially in softer terrain like mud sand and snow Additional threats include any obstacles in the bikersquos path like rocks stumps roots and tall brush or cycling on the road when encountering sand or dirt patches gravel potholes or other miscellaneous debris

As more and more accidents with rear and mid-wheel drive electric bike systems are being documented safety has become a number one factor when choosing an electric bike

2 Independent Engineering reports concur

Engineers have been reporting on the risk and potential for injury on rear and mid-wheel electric systems Studies show the front and center of the bike has no power to climb out of the wheel track depression on softer terrain or when the rider encounters an obstacle in its path as it is being propelled by the back of the bike Since the front wheel cannot power the bicycle with rear-wheel and mid-wheel drive systems it forces the cyclist to dismount or fall off

In addition in a rear or mid-wheel system the bike only tracks in one direction straight forward A front-wheel-drive system will track whatever direction the front wheel is turned giving the rider the versatility to turn left or right in soft terrain ride up or down an incline or up and over obstacles turn in any direction they choose

UltraTrek Electric Bikes are currently the only manufacturers in the US of a patented front-wheel drive fat tire electric bike system noted by engineers as one of the safest fat tire electric bikes produced today

(See Appendix F and G from Independent Engineers Robert Van Der Plas PE and Graeme Harrison B E)

Dangers specific to Mid-Drive Electric Bike Systems

Electric bike forums and blogs have been increasingly addressing the concerns of the mid-drive electric bike systems complaining about the hassles of cycling in a remote area when the mid-drive system chain snaps locks the drive system rendering the bicycle useless Several factors can increase the likelihood of injury depending on speed and terrain and whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not (See Appendix G for blogging links)

In a joint venture with an Engineer the companyrsquos lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr has now diagramed the physics behind this particular problem (See Appendix H)

The diagram in Appendix H demonstrates both force F1 and F2 which is the force placed on a bike chain when in motion The equations and below graphs show the maximum force the bicycle chain can safely sustain is 2000 lbs The force placed on a chain with just a 500-watt Mid Drive Fat Tire Electric Bike is close to 3 times the maximum safe at close to 6000 lbs Therefore the likelihood of the bicycle chain snapping is imminent Many popular manufacturers produce mid-drive systems with anywhere from 500 to 1500 watts increasing the danger substantially And as these systems reach major sporting retailers like Bass-Pro and Cabelarsquos we feel it is in the industrys best interest to warn the consumer about the potential danger The Gladiator the Fat Tire Electric Bike introduced this past year from the QuietKat manufacturer partnership with Jeep Automotive is such a bike being produced This white paper intends to inform the consumer of this danger and make major retailers aware of their possible liability Dangers Specific to Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes Many Electric Bikes currently being introduced on the market use a Pedal-Assist Electric Bike System where the bike is only motorized when you start pedaling This system poses many disadvantages First you can not use the bike as a conventional bike Instead once you start pedaling the bike takes off to full speed Suppose you are at a full stop and wish to proceed you start to pedal 3and you are a full speed This poses a significantly hazardous situation if you are in crowded areas with people or obstacles as you donrsquot have control of the bike The chances are very good that you will run into these obstacles With the UltraTrek Electric Bikes you can ride the bike like a traditional bicycle with 8-speeds or turn on the front motor or both motors and select the low medium or high-speed position giving you much more flexibility to navigate your current environment Even with both motors in gear you can add pedal power to get up extra steep inclines if necessary

Problems with Lithium-Ion Batteries in Cold Temperatures The lithium-ion batteries used on electric bikes are not made for temperatures under 32degF as they drop to 50 distance per charge capacity At 4degF the battery can become completely useless Many electric bike enthusiasts use their bikes for hunting in cold weather and this also poses a significant danger to them if they can not use electric components to get to their home base Furthermore storing your battery at a proper temperature (between 32degF - 80degF) is critical to maintaining the life of a battery We are introducing a revolutionary new technology to keep your battery at a constant 36degF no matter where your bike is stored See below link for reference How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries | Panther Vision Dangers of Using Low-Quality Chinese Batteries Many electric bike manufacturers are using low-quality batteries from China Recent reports indicate hundreds of e-bike battery fires and explosions happen each year due to malfunctioning and aging batteries Since the e-bike battery is the most important part of the bike as it powers the bicycle UltraTrek Electric Bikes insists on only using high-quality Lithium-Ion Batteries from trusted manufacturers like Sonyreg or Panasonicreg Problems with Hub Motor Locking Plates In order for a hub motor to work properly it must stay fixed to the axle as it rotates Most manufacturers using hub motors on their electric bikes do not realize that the locking system used to lock the hub motor onto the axle is a simple washer with nipple

This system is simply not strong enough for the new Electric Bikes introduced by major manufacturers like Jeep Porsche Trek QuietKat Rambo Bakou and more The increase in wattage power speed and torque on these new electric bikes will not withstand this locking system and eventually will whittle away from use and friction Once the motor becomes loose from the axle the electrical wiring gets pulled into the wheel and breaks the hub motor We have designed a unique double stainless-steel locking plate system for all our Electric Bikes to prevent this from ever happening (Figure B)

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 9

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

With our seven years of experience in global sourcing of top-of-the-line electrical components and Fat Tire Bike Parts we have found trusted suppliers who will consistently produce quality material This fact combined with our design team and support from engineers added to our many years of field testing we have proven design solutions

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

1 Introduction Background

UltraTrek Electric Bikes LLC has been a leading innovator in the Fat Tire Bikes industry and was one of Fat Tire Bikes first manufacturers in 2008 (See Appendix A) They were also the first United States manufacturer of Fat Tire Electric Bikes in 2013

Their first E-Bike was a front-wheel drive system (holding three design patents - see Appendix B) The 750-watt bicycle had the power and torque to climb a set of stairs and safely cycle up and over obstacles that may pose a dangerous threat to a rider on a different system Their electric bikes also feature an 8-speed rapid-fire shifter and derailleur allowing the rider to use the bicycle for exercise and power on for electric features at any time

The knobby fat tire acts as a shock absorber so the electric bike provides a safe stable and comfortable ride on any terrain from street pavement to soft sand rocky bike trails and even through snow

The patented ultra-light symmetrical rim design was instrumental in setting two world cycling records (See Appendix C)

Throughout the manufacturing years and through the innovation of lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr (See Mr Coghillrsquos Biography ndash Appendix D) the company has made many enhancements to the electric bike design based on customer feedback and advancements in technology

As the leader in this industry the company holds three patents and has four patents currently pending We are the top manufacturer of Fat Tire Electric Bicycles with patents world records engineering reports to prove our standing Through our years of experience we can consistently recognize dangerous products being introduced in our industry Our focus is to provide safe products and protect the consumer from flawed designs and knock-offs that are dangerous

In 2018 the company introduced a revolutionary dual-motor electric bicycle system at the InterBike industry trade show on Tuesday September 18 2018 in Reno Nevada

Having seven years of consumer feedback and applying new technology to an electric bicycles physical properties UltraTrek Electric Bikes has made significant modifications to their Fat Tire Electric Bike design and will soon introduce one of their most innovative models to date The E2-Terminator

2 Abstract Business Case

Many competitors have manufactured similar electric bikes throughout the Electric Bicycle industrys evolution that infringed on our companys patented designs Many Fat Tire Electric Bikes manufacturers have systems that have significant disadvantages to the consumer

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 4

And many manufacturers have designed Fat Tire Electric Bikes that pose an outright danger to the rider This is most definitely the case with rear and mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike designs and therefore this white papers focus We want to inform the public and retail vendors of Fat Tire Electric Bikes of the imminent danger inherent to both mid and rear-drive systems

3 Problem Statement Introduction

Mid and Rear Drive System Safety Issues

The following was reported on our website in May 2017 in an article titled Front-Wheel Drive Safety (fattirebikepartscom) Front-Wheel Drive is The Safest Fat Tire Bike on the Market Today The evidence has become increasingly apparent Rear-wheel and mid-wheel electric systems can pose serious dangers for the rider especially in softer terrain like mud sand and snow Additional threats include any obstacles in the bikersquos path like rocks stumps roots and tall brush or cycling on the road when encountering sand or dirt patches gravel potholes or other miscellaneous debris

As more and more accidents with rear and mid-wheel drive electric bike systems are being documented safety has become a number one factor when choosing an electric bike

2 Independent Engineering reports concur

Engineers have been reporting on the risk and potential for injury on rear and mid-wheel electric systems Studies show the front and center of the bike has no power to climb out of the wheel track depression on softer terrain or when the rider encounters an obstacle in its path as it is being propelled by the back of the bike Since the front wheel cannot power the bicycle with rear-wheel and mid-wheel drive systems it forces the cyclist to dismount or fall off

In addition in a rear or mid-wheel system the bike only tracks in one direction straight forward A front-wheel-drive system will track whatever direction the front wheel is turned giving the rider the versatility to turn left or right in soft terrain ride up or down an incline or up and over obstacles turn in any direction they choose

UltraTrek Electric Bikes are currently the only manufacturers in the US of a patented front-wheel drive fat tire electric bike system noted by engineers as one of the safest fat tire electric bikes produced today

(See Appendix F and G from Independent Engineers Robert Van Der Plas PE and Graeme Harrison B E)

Dangers specific to Mid-Drive Electric Bike Systems

Electric bike forums and blogs have been increasingly addressing the concerns of the mid-drive electric bike systems complaining about the hassles of cycling in a remote area when the mid-drive system chain snaps locks the drive system rendering the bicycle useless Several factors can increase the likelihood of injury depending on speed and terrain and whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not (See Appendix G for blogging links)

In a joint venture with an Engineer the companyrsquos lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr has now diagramed the physics behind this particular problem (See Appendix H)

The diagram in Appendix H demonstrates both force F1 and F2 which is the force placed on a bike chain when in motion The equations and below graphs show the maximum force the bicycle chain can safely sustain is 2000 lbs The force placed on a chain with just a 500-watt Mid Drive Fat Tire Electric Bike is close to 3 times the maximum safe at close to 6000 lbs Therefore the likelihood of the bicycle chain snapping is imminent Many popular manufacturers produce mid-drive systems with anywhere from 500 to 1500 watts increasing the danger substantially And as these systems reach major sporting retailers like Bass-Pro and Cabelarsquos we feel it is in the industrys best interest to warn the consumer about the potential danger The Gladiator the Fat Tire Electric Bike introduced this past year from the QuietKat manufacturer partnership with Jeep Automotive is such a bike being produced This white paper intends to inform the consumer of this danger and make major retailers aware of their possible liability Dangers Specific to Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes Many Electric Bikes currently being introduced on the market use a Pedal-Assist Electric Bike System where the bike is only motorized when you start pedaling This system poses many disadvantages First you can not use the bike as a conventional bike Instead once you start pedaling the bike takes off to full speed Suppose you are at a full stop and wish to proceed you start to pedal 3and you are a full speed This poses a significantly hazardous situation if you are in crowded areas with people or obstacles as you donrsquot have control of the bike The chances are very good that you will run into these obstacles With the UltraTrek Electric Bikes you can ride the bike like a traditional bicycle with 8-speeds or turn on the front motor or both motors and select the low medium or high-speed position giving you much more flexibility to navigate your current environment Even with both motors in gear you can add pedal power to get up extra steep inclines if necessary

Problems with Lithium-Ion Batteries in Cold Temperatures The lithium-ion batteries used on electric bikes are not made for temperatures under 32degF as they drop to 50 distance per charge capacity At 4degF the battery can become completely useless Many electric bike enthusiasts use their bikes for hunting in cold weather and this also poses a significant danger to them if they can not use electric components to get to their home base Furthermore storing your battery at a proper temperature (between 32degF - 80degF) is critical to maintaining the life of a battery We are introducing a revolutionary new technology to keep your battery at a constant 36degF no matter where your bike is stored See below link for reference How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries | Panther Vision Dangers of Using Low-Quality Chinese Batteries Many electric bike manufacturers are using low-quality batteries from China Recent reports indicate hundreds of e-bike battery fires and explosions happen each year due to malfunctioning and aging batteries Since the e-bike battery is the most important part of the bike as it powers the bicycle UltraTrek Electric Bikes insists on only using high-quality Lithium-Ion Batteries from trusted manufacturers like Sonyreg or Panasonicreg Problems with Hub Motor Locking Plates In order for a hub motor to work properly it must stay fixed to the axle as it rotates Most manufacturers using hub motors on their electric bikes do not realize that the locking system used to lock the hub motor onto the axle is a simple washer with nipple

This system is simply not strong enough for the new Electric Bikes introduced by major manufacturers like Jeep Porsche Trek QuietKat Rambo Bakou and more The increase in wattage power speed and torque on these new electric bikes will not withstand this locking system and eventually will whittle away from use and friction Once the motor becomes loose from the axle the electrical wiring gets pulled into the wheel and breaks the hub motor We have designed a unique double stainless-steel locking plate system for all our Electric Bikes to prevent this from ever happening (Figure B)

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 9

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

With our seven years of experience in global sourcing of top-of-the-line electrical components and Fat Tire Bike Parts we have found trusted suppliers who will consistently produce quality material This fact combined with our design team and support from engineers added to our many years of field testing we have proven design solutions

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

1 Introduction Background

UltraTrek Electric Bikes LLC has been a leading innovator in the Fat Tire Bikes industry and was one of Fat Tire Bikes first manufacturers in 2008 (See Appendix A) They were also the first United States manufacturer of Fat Tire Electric Bikes in 2013

Their first E-Bike was a front-wheel drive system (holding three design patents - see Appendix B) The 750-watt bicycle had the power and torque to climb a set of stairs and safely cycle up and over obstacles that may pose a dangerous threat to a rider on a different system Their electric bikes also feature an 8-speed rapid-fire shifter and derailleur allowing the rider to use the bicycle for exercise and power on for electric features at any time

The knobby fat tire acts as a shock absorber so the electric bike provides a safe stable and comfortable ride on any terrain from street pavement to soft sand rocky bike trails and even through snow

The patented ultra-light symmetrical rim design was instrumental in setting two world cycling records (See Appendix C)

Throughout the manufacturing years and through the innovation of lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr (See Mr Coghillrsquos Biography ndash Appendix D) the company has made many enhancements to the electric bike design based on customer feedback and advancements in technology

As the leader in this industry the company holds three patents and has four patents currently pending We are the top manufacturer of Fat Tire Electric Bicycles with patents world records engineering reports to prove our standing Through our years of experience we can consistently recognize dangerous products being introduced in our industry Our focus is to provide safe products and protect the consumer from flawed designs and knock-offs that are dangerous

In 2018 the company introduced a revolutionary dual-motor electric bicycle system at the InterBike industry trade show on Tuesday September 18 2018 in Reno Nevada

Having seven years of consumer feedback and applying new technology to an electric bicycles physical properties UltraTrek Electric Bikes has made significant modifications to their Fat Tire Electric Bike design and will soon introduce one of their most innovative models to date The E2-Terminator

2 Abstract Business Case

Many competitors have manufactured similar electric bikes throughout the Electric Bicycle industrys evolution that infringed on our companys patented designs Many Fat Tire Electric Bikes manufacturers have systems that have significant disadvantages to the consumer

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 4

And many manufacturers have designed Fat Tire Electric Bikes that pose an outright danger to the rider This is most definitely the case with rear and mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike designs and therefore this white papers focus We want to inform the public and retail vendors of Fat Tire Electric Bikes of the imminent danger inherent to both mid and rear-drive systems

3 Problem Statement Introduction

Mid and Rear Drive System Safety Issues

The following was reported on our website in May 2017 in an article titled Front-Wheel Drive Safety (fattirebikepartscom) Front-Wheel Drive is The Safest Fat Tire Bike on the Market Today The evidence has become increasingly apparent Rear-wheel and mid-wheel electric systems can pose serious dangers for the rider especially in softer terrain like mud sand and snow Additional threats include any obstacles in the bikersquos path like rocks stumps roots and tall brush or cycling on the road when encountering sand or dirt patches gravel potholes or other miscellaneous debris

As more and more accidents with rear and mid-wheel drive electric bike systems are being documented safety has become a number one factor when choosing an electric bike

2 Independent Engineering reports concur

Engineers have been reporting on the risk and potential for injury on rear and mid-wheel electric systems Studies show the front and center of the bike has no power to climb out of the wheel track depression on softer terrain or when the rider encounters an obstacle in its path as it is being propelled by the back of the bike Since the front wheel cannot power the bicycle with rear-wheel and mid-wheel drive systems it forces the cyclist to dismount or fall off

In addition in a rear or mid-wheel system the bike only tracks in one direction straight forward A front-wheel-drive system will track whatever direction the front wheel is turned giving the rider the versatility to turn left or right in soft terrain ride up or down an incline or up and over obstacles turn in any direction they choose

UltraTrek Electric Bikes are currently the only manufacturers in the US of a patented front-wheel drive fat tire electric bike system noted by engineers as one of the safest fat tire electric bikes produced today

(See Appendix F and G from Independent Engineers Robert Van Der Plas PE and Graeme Harrison B E)

Dangers specific to Mid-Drive Electric Bike Systems

Electric bike forums and blogs have been increasingly addressing the concerns of the mid-drive electric bike systems complaining about the hassles of cycling in a remote area when the mid-drive system chain snaps locks the drive system rendering the bicycle useless Several factors can increase the likelihood of injury depending on speed and terrain and whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not (See Appendix G for blogging links)

In a joint venture with an Engineer the companyrsquos lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr has now diagramed the physics behind this particular problem (See Appendix H)

The diagram in Appendix H demonstrates both force F1 and F2 which is the force placed on a bike chain when in motion The equations and below graphs show the maximum force the bicycle chain can safely sustain is 2000 lbs The force placed on a chain with just a 500-watt Mid Drive Fat Tire Electric Bike is close to 3 times the maximum safe at close to 6000 lbs Therefore the likelihood of the bicycle chain snapping is imminent Many popular manufacturers produce mid-drive systems with anywhere from 500 to 1500 watts increasing the danger substantially And as these systems reach major sporting retailers like Bass-Pro and Cabelarsquos we feel it is in the industrys best interest to warn the consumer about the potential danger The Gladiator the Fat Tire Electric Bike introduced this past year from the QuietKat manufacturer partnership with Jeep Automotive is such a bike being produced This white paper intends to inform the consumer of this danger and make major retailers aware of their possible liability Dangers Specific to Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes Many Electric Bikes currently being introduced on the market use a Pedal-Assist Electric Bike System where the bike is only motorized when you start pedaling This system poses many disadvantages First you can not use the bike as a conventional bike Instead once you start pedaling the bike takes off to full speed Suppose you are at a full stop and wish to proceed you start to pedal 3and you are a full speed This poses a significantly hazardous situation if you are in crowded areas with people or obstacles as you donrsquot have control of the bike The chances are very good that you will run into these obstacles With the UltraTrek Electric Bikes you can ride the bike like a traditional bicycle with 8-speeds or turn on the front motor or both motors and select the low medium or high-speed position giving you much more flexibility to navigate your current environment Even with both motors in gear you can add pedal power to get up extra steep inclines if necessary

Problems with Lithium-Ion Batteries in Cold Temperatures The lithium-ion batteries used on electric bikes are not made for temperatures under 32degF as they drop to 50 distance per charge capacity At 4degF the battery can become completely useless Many electric bike enthusiasts use their bikes for hunting in cold weather and this also poses a significant danger to them if they can not use electric components to get to their home base Furthermore storing your battery at a proper temperature (between 32degF - 80degF) is critical to maintaining the life of a battery We are introducing a revolutionary new technology to keep your battery at a constant 36degF no matter where your bike is stored See below link for reference How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries | Panther Vision Dangers of Using Low-Quality Chinese Batteries Many electric bike manufacturers are using low-quality batteries from China Recent reports indicate hundreds of e-bike battery fires and explosions happen each year due to malfunctioning and aging batteries Since the e-bike battery is the most important part of the bike as it powers the bicycle UltraTrek Electric Bikes insists on only using high-quality Lithium-Ion Batteries from trusted manufacturers like Sonyreg or Panasonicreg Problems with Hub Motor Locking Plates In order for a hub motor to work properly it must stay fixed to the axle as it rotates Most manufacturers using hub motors on their electric bikes do not realize that the locking system used to lock the hub motor onto the axle is a simple washer with nipple

This system is simply not strong enough for the new Electric Bikes introduced by major manufacturers like Jeep Porsche Trek QuietKat Rambo Bakou and more The increase in wattage power speed and torque on these new electric bikes will not withstand this locking system and eventually will whittle away from use and friction Once the motor becomes loose from the axle the electrical wiring gets pulled into the wheel and breaks the hub motor We have designed a unique double stainless-steel locking plate system for all our Electric Bikes to prevent this from ever happening (Figure B)

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 9

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

With our seven years of experience in global sourcing of top-of-the-line electrical components and Fat Tire Bike Parts we have found trusted suppliers who will consistently produce quality material This fact combined with our design team and support from engineers added to our many years of field testing we have proven design solutions

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

And many manufacturers have designed Fat Tire Electric Bikes that pose an outright danger to the rider This is most definitely the case with rear and mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike designs and therefore this white papers focus We want to inform the public and retail vendors of Fat Tire Electric Bikes of the imminent danger inherent to both mid and rear-drive systems

3 Problem Statement Introduction

Mid and Rear Drive System Safety Issues

The following was reported on our website in May 2017 in an article titled Front-Wheel Drive Safety (fattirebikepartscom) Front-Wheel Drive is The Safest Fat Tire Bike on the Market Today The evidence has become increasingly apparent Rear-wheel and mid-wheel electric systems can pose serious dangers for the rider especially in softer terrain like mud sand and snow Additional threats include any obstacles in the bikersquos path like rocks stumps roots and tall brush or cycling on the road when encountering sand or dirt patches gravel potholes or other miscellaneous debris

As more and more accidents with rear and mid-wheel drive electric bike systems are being documented safety has become a number one factor when choosing an electric bike

2 Independent Engineering reports concur

Engineers have been reporting on the risk and potential for injury on rear and mid-wheel electric systems Studies show the front and center of the bike has no power to climb out of the wheel track depression on softer terrain or when the rider encounters an obstacle in its path as it is being propelled by the back of the bike Since the front wheel cannot power the bicycle with rear-wheel and mid-wheel drive systems it forces the cyclist to dismount or fall off

In addition in a rear or mid-wheel system the bike only tracks in one direction straight forward A front-wheel-drive system will track whatever direction the front wheel is turned giving the rider the versatility to turn left or right in soft terrain ride up or down an incline or up and over obstacles turn in any direction they choose

UltraTrek Electric Bikes are currently the only manufacturers in the US of a patented front-wheel drive fat tire electric bike system noted by engineers as one of the safest fat tire electric bikes produced today

(See Appendix F and G from Independent Engineers Robert Van Der Plas PE and Graeme Harrison B E)

Dangers specific to Mid-Drive Electric Bike Systems

Electric bike forums and blogs have been increasingly addressing the concerns of the mid-drive electric bike systems complaining about the hassles of cycling in a remote area when the mid-drive system chain snaps locks the drive system rendering the bicycle useless Several factors can increase the likelihood of injury depending on speed and terrain and whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not (See Appendix G for blogging links)

In a joint venture with an Engineer the companyrsquos lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr has now diagramed the physics behind this particular problem (See Appendix H)

The diagram in Appendix H demonstrates both force F1 and F2 which is the force placed on a bike chain when in motion The equations and below graphs show the maximum force the bicycle chain can safely sustain is 2000 lbs The force placed on a chain with just a 500-watt Mid Drive Fat Tire Electric Bike is close to 3 times the maximum safe at close to 6000 lbs Therefore the likelihood of the bicycle chain snapping is imminent Many popular manufacturers produce mid-drive systems with anywhere from 500 to 1500 watts increasing the danger substantially And as these systems reach major sporting retailers like Bass-Pro and Cabelarsquos we feel it is in the industrys best interest to warn the consumer about the potential danger The Gladiator the Fat Tire Electric Bike introduced this past year from the QuietKat manufacturer partnership with Jeep Automotive is such a bike being produced This white paper intends to inform the consumer of this danger and make major retailers aware of their possible liability Dangers Specific to Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes Many Electric Bikes currently being introduced on the market use a Pedal-Assist Electric Bike System where the bike is only motorized when you start pedaling This system poses many disadvantages First you can not use the bike as a conventional bike Instead once you start pedaling the bike takes off to full speed Suppose you are at a full stop and wish to proceed you start to pedal 3and you are a full speed This poses a significantly hazardous situation if you are in crowded areas with people or obstacles as you donrsquot have control of the bike The chances are very good that you will run into these obstacles With the UltraTrek Electric Bikes you can ride the bike like a traditional bicycle with 8-speeds or turn on the front motor or both motors and select the low medium or high-speed position giving you much more flexibility to navigate your current environment Even with both motors in gear you can add pedal power to get up extra steep inclines if necessary

Problems with Lithium-Ion Batteries in Cold Temperatures The lithium-ion batteries used on electric bikes are not made for temperatures under 32degF as they drop to 50 distance per charge capacity At 4degF the battery can become completely useless Many electric bike enthusiasts use their bikes for hunting in cold weather and this also poses a significant danger to them if they can not use electric components to get to their home base Furthermore storing your battery at a proper temperature (between 32degF - 80degF) is critical to maintaining the life of a battery We are introducing a revolutionary new technology to keep your battery at a constant 36degF no matter where your bike is stored See below link for reference How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries | Panther Vision Dangers of Using Low-Quality Chinese Batteries Many electric bike manufacturers are using low-quality batteries from China Recent reports indicate hundreds of e-bike battery fires and explosions happen each year due to malfunctioning and aging batteries Since the e-bike battery is the most important part of the bike as it powers the bicycle UltraTrek Electric Bikes insists on only using high-quality Lithium-Ion Batteries from trusted manufacturers like Sonyreg or Panasonicreg Problems with Hub Motor Locking Plates In order for a hub motor to work properly it must stay fixed to the axle as it rotates Most manufacturers using hub motors on their electric bikes do not realize that the locking system used to lock the hub motor onto the axle is a simple washer with nipple

This system is simply not strong enough for the new Electric Bikes introduced by major manufacturers like Jeep Porsche Trek QuietKat Rambo Bakou and more The increase in wattage power speed and torque on these new electric bikes will not withstand this locking system and eventually will whittle away from use and friction Once the motor becomes loose from the axle the electrical wiring gets pulled into the wheel and breaks the hub motor We have designed a unique double stainless-steel locking plate system for all our Electric Bikes to prevent this from ever happening (Figure B)

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 9

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

With our seven years of experience in global sourcing of top-of-the-line electrical components and Fat Tire Bike Parts we have found trusted suppliers who will consistently produce quality material This fact combined with our design team and support from engineers added to our many years of field testing we have proven design solutions

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

Dangers specific to Mid-Drive Electric Bike Systems

Electric bike forums and blogs have been increasingly addressing the concerns of the mid-drive electric bike systems complaining about the hassles of cycling in a remote area when the mid-drive system chain snaps locks the drive system rendering the bicycle useless Several factors can increase the likelihood of injury depending on speed and terrain and whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not (See Appendix G for blogging links)

In a joint venture with an Engineer the companyrsquos lead designer Thomas Coghill Jr has now diagramed the physics behind this particular problem (See Appendix H)

The diagram in Appendix H demonstrates both force F1 and F2 which is the force placed on a bike chain when in motion The equations and below graphs show the maximum force the bicycle chain can safely sustain is 2000 lbs The force placed on a chain with just a 500-watt Mid Drive Fat Tire Electric Bike is close to 3 times the maximum safe at close to 6000 lbs Therefore the likelihood of the bicycle chain snapping is imminent Many popular manufacturers produce mid-drive systems with anywhere from 500 to 1500 watts increasing the danger substantially And as these systems reach major sporting retailers like Bass-Pro and Cabelarsquos we feel it is in the industrys best interest to warn the consumer about the potential danger The Gladiator the Fat Tire Electric Bike introduced this past year from the QuietKat manufacturer partnership with Jeep Automotive is such a bike being produced This white paper intends to inform the consumer of this danger and make major retailers aware of their possible liability Dangers Specific to Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes Many Electric Bikes currently being introduced on the market use a Pedal-Assist Electric Bike System where the bike is only motorized when you start pedaling This system poses many disadvantages First you can not use the bike as a conventional bike Instead once you start pedaling the bike takes off to full speed Suppose you are at a full stop and wish to proceed you start to pedal 3and you are a full speed This poses a significantly hazardous situation if you are in crowded areas with people or obstacles as you donrsquot have control of the bike The chances are very good that you will run into these obstacles With the UltraTrek Electric Bikes you can ride the bike like a traditional bicycle with 8-speeds or turn on the front motor or both motors and select the low medium or high-speed position giving you much more flexibility to navigate your current environment Even with both motors in gear you can add pedal power to get up extra steep inclines if necessary

Problems with Lithium-Ion Batteries in Cold Temperatures The lithium-ion batteries used on electric bikes are not made for temperatures under 32degF as they drop to 50 distance per charge capacity At 4degF the battery can become completely useless Many electric bike enthusiasts use their bikes for hunting in cold weather and this also poses a significant danger to them if they can not use electric components to get to their home base Furthermore storing your battery at a proper temperature (between 32degF - 80degF) is critical to maintaining the life of a battery We are introducing a revolutionary new technology to keep your battery at a constant 36degF no matter where your bike is stored See below link for reference How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries | Panther Vision Dangers of Using Low-Quality Chinese Batteries Many electric bike manufacturers are using low-quality batteries from China Recent reports indicate hundreds of e-bike battery fires and explosions happen each year due to malfunctioning and aging batteries Since the e-bike battery is the most important part of the bike as it powers the bicycle UltraTrek Electric Bikes insists on only using high-quality Lithium-Ion Batteries from trusted manufacturers like Sonyreg or Panasonicreg Problems with Hub Motor Locking Plates In order for a hub motor to work properly it must stay fixed to the axle as it rotates Most manufacturers using hub motors on their electric bikes do not realize that the locking system used to lock the hub motor onto the axle is a simple washer with nipple

This system is simply not strong enough for the new Electric Bikes introduced by major manufacturers like Jeep Porsche Trek QuietKat Rambo Bakou and more The increase in wattage power speed and torque on these new electric bikes will not withstand this locking system and eventually will whittle away from use and friction Once the motor becomes loose from the axle the electrical wiring gets pulled into the wheel and breaks the hub motor We have designed a unique double stainless-steel locking plate system for all our Electric Bikes to prevent this from ever happening (Figure B)

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 9

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

With our seven years of experience in global sourcing of top-of-the-line electrical components and Fat Tire Bike Parts we have found trusted suppliers who will consistently produce quality material This fact combined with our design team and support from engineers added to our many years of field testing we have proven design solutions

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

This system is simply not strong enough for the new Electric Bikes introduced by major manufacturers like Jeep Porsche Trek QuietKat Rambo Bakou and more The increase in wattage power speed and torque on these new electric bikes will not withstand this locking system and eventually will whittle away from use and friction Once the motor becomes loose from the axle the electrical wiring gets pulled into the wheel and breaks the hub motor We have designed a unique double stainless-steel locking plate system for all our Electric Bikes to prevent this from ever happening (Figure B)

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

4 Proposed Solution(s)

a Introduction of Solution

First we have developed and patented a repair system for the mid-drive Fat Tire Electric Bike system We will be manufacturing and rolling out this product in the first quarter of 2021

Second we have designed and filed provisional patents on a revolutionary Fat Tire Electric Bike which will overcome many of these potential dangers and more We have also included solar panels for charging lithium-ion batteries and have included a patented heat strip with thermostat powered by the solar panels to ensure the lithium-ion battery is kept at a minimum of 40degF for optimal performance

Many companies like QuietKat and others claim to sell a Solar Panel to charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery outdoors while hunting or fishing or just off the grid UltraTrek holds a patent on this technology and these companies are in breach of our patent

A bigger issue is their videos state their solar panel will charge both a 48V and 52V electric bike battery as well as a 12V car battery This is simply not true and shows their lack of research and knowledge of the technology for these reasons

1 If outdoor temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit your charge will be slow and poor and will destroy your battery Our patented heated solar panel resolves this issue entirely

2 The QuietKat vertical solar panel has little ability to collect solar power efficiently Our solar panel is horizontal to collect the most solar power available

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 9

3 QuietKat supplies multiple adapters to use the solar panel to charge a 48V 52V and 12V automobile battery No solar system without a technically engineered reduction control box can charge all three types of batteries

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147

With our seven years of experience in global sourcing of top-of-the-line electrical components and Fat Tire Bike Parts we have found trusted suppliers who will consistently produce quality material This fact combined with our design team and support from engineers added to our many years of field testing we have proven design solutions

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

PATENT-PENDING PULLING ADAPTER FOR BIKES

UltraTrek has designed a patent-pending pulling adapter as an accessory to their Electric Bicycles This innovative adaptor will move up and down side to side and rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise allowing one to attached any wheeled cart to a bicycle or any other moving vehicle This adaptor will work with extraction wheeled carts beach carts and caddy boys This adapter is especially useful for golfers who due to CDC guidelines during the pandemic are prohibited from using golf carts to get around golf courses Now golfers can still play golf without having to pull their own bag by using an Electric Bike with a rear rack approved by many golf courses and maintain the required social distancing rules

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

5 Future Direction Long-Term Focus

As the company receives feedback from our various markets UltraTrek Electric Bikes will continue to innovate ideas into our product lines to provide the most versatile powerful Fat Tire Electric Bicycles that incorporate safety in its design We will also focus on manufacturing products that are easy to repair and maintain with plug-and-play technology instead of being forced to return the bike to the manufacturer for repairs

6 Results Conclusion

The result of this White Paper Analysis proves that Mid-Drive Electric Bikes are not only expensive to manufacture the E-Bikes are also completely flawed in design and dangerous to the consumer The probability of the chain snapping on a Mid-Drive Fat Tire Electric bike is very real

The science cannot be denied The frequency of bloggers posting about Mid-Drive chains snapping should be an increasing concern to both manufacturers and retailers who sell them as with this published knowledge now out in the public domain their liability to the consumer is legitimate

As we have clearly stated many Fat Tire Bike enthusiasts ride their bike in remote areas and deep woods so when the cycle is rendered useless from the chain snapping the rider must walk the bike back or fix the chain on the spot which puts them in a dangerous and vulnerable situation

The E2 Terminator Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed to resolve all these potential issues And with the addition of the solar panel a cyclist can confidently extend their ride in remote areas as they now can recharge their battery as often as needed

UltraTrek Electric Bikes continues to prove that their Fat Tire Electric Bike is designed for safety and durability by a trusted US manufacturer using only the best electrical bicycle components and top-of-the-line name-brand bike parts

MAY 2021 UPDATE QuietKat has recently introduced a foldable solar panel for charging which is a direct breach of our Provisional Patent However because of their lack of engineering the product is inferior for the following reasons

4 The solar panel is designed to attach to the electric bike vertically dramatically reducing its ability to collect sunlight

5 Unlike our panel the QuietKat panel does not contain heat strips and charging a battery under 40 degrees Fahrenheit can cause damage to an e-bike battery

White Paper Evolution of Electric Bicycles amp The Danger of Mid Rear Drive Design

5222021 Page 23

6 QuietKat claims to sell an adapter to their solar panel to charge your 12-volt car battery Using this solar panel will only destroy your car battery because it is outputting up to 546 volts to charge a 48 Volt and 52-volt battery

bull The max output on a 48-volt charger is 546

bull The max output on a 52-volt battery charger is 588 volts

bull The max output on a 12-volt battery is 147 Without a technically engineered reduction control box their solar panel cannot charge all three types of batteries

Product claims like this only expose the uneducated consumer to various potential hazards which we thoroughly outline in this white paper

And as reports of e-bike accidents continue to increase because of poorly engineered electric bike products on the market consumer confidence in electric bikes decreases and hurts the industry as a whole
