Who would have thunk it. When I built my very first power bike it was an Ebike. I had my neighbor weld a drive onto a scooter motor and hooked it to the rear of an old huffy. It wasn't fast and the range wasn't much but it worked. Then I got caught up in a BETTER idea.
Yesterday, I decided that since I have learned so much I wanted to do it again. Just as simple as before but with an improved knowledge (I hope) of what works best. I have one pusher bike that runs really well. I need to retest it, since I over powered the controller, to make sure it still works.
Then I am going to build a direct friction drive. Pushers and gasoline motors are complicated. A friction drive is simple and I think I want to simplify things this time. I am still looking for that bike to ride to the store for a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter.
