Shift Kit + Nuvinci = (Grin)

Here are the photo's of the handlebars. I hope you find this useful. The shift lever on the right side with the blue graphic is the choke. The throttle has a built in double brake lever as well.

I like your girlfriends attitude!

One of the things I have found I like best about the Shift Kit is the ease at which I can remove the outside drive chain. The benefit of this is that I can motor down to a favorite park. Remove the chain. (do it with a paper towel and your fingers won’t even get dirty) Then pedal around on the paths of the park without offending anyone. The Shift Kit pedals very nicely with the clutch held in. Some would argue that it pedals nicer than the original kit and I would agree. Still... pedaling just the basics is as quiet and smooth as it could possibly get and in the circumstances of a beautiful and serene park it's a no-brainer when it takes only seconds to pop the chain off.

I took these pictures in the park as I rode around it so you will notice that the outside drive chain is removed.

The first picture is one of the many entrances. I could feel the way that this beautiful path, (that is less traveled) beckoned to my curiosity. How far down the rabbit hole would you like to go?

The park is called Redwood Park and it is a favorite place. It is 80 acres with hardly anyone on it. The few that are just smile and say hello. Just follow a path, turn a corner and find yourself in a beautiful meadow. Sit down on a bench and take it all in.

The fourth picture is taken under a massive maple tree, that is in the center of the meadow the bench overlooks.

The fifth was just off the path near the exit where I put the chain back on (also easy) and motored home.

Hey Neighbour! I have got to see your bike at some point. That park is just a few miles from my home. I thought the pictures looked a bit like Vancouver. Your bike is as many have said inspirational.

I just keep reading the threads here waiting to get back to work on my first project. (I am recovering from a Ruptured Achilles) Only 2 weeks until the cast comes off and I can get back in the garage and finish the cutting the chain. Got to say though guys I think I might be hooked on this hobby though since I love small motors and the hobby doesn't look to cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks to all of you folks who take the time to share your stories, information and photos of the cool trips you take.

Very very nice bike.

First off- awesome bike. it is the incarnation of a vision I've had for a bike for a while now, as I too have a Felt although mine is electric. I do have a motor bike though and I love it, and have been planning a felt build for some time. Your execution is excellent, kudos.

My question for you is how did you render the tank style top tube functional? I would love to try replicating this for my build. I hope you will share your secrets!

Cheers!

Thanks again everyone. The hub is working very well.

I hope you feel better soon jvirginillo.

Huckersteve, Nothing secret about the tank. You should search the Internet for posts by a nice fellow named Hblocal. He did it first I think, Indeed as have others. If you search at all you will find several examples with ease. We love pictures. We would love to see pictures of your project too!

Clotho - Where are you? I didn't know you could send pics from heaven! I am overwhelmed that is the finest looking Happy Time I have ever seen. Everything is over the top, I would like to see someone build a finer looking bike and there are a few in here that are near that good. I think you are having the time of your life riding your creation in heaven, still wondering how we get to see some pic's from there. LOL, Have fun, Dave
