Heavy duty lay back posts

Only on my second charge right now, but looking at about 12 - 15 miles per charge without being easy on the throttle and only pedaling from stops, cruising mainly in the mid 30s. There is a guy on ES that has a similar setup and says he can get 40 miles if he cruises at 20 MPH, but what fun is that?
I dropped my seat as low as I can and still have some clearance between the tire and seat (about 0.5" between the seat rails and tire). I also flipped the bars. I plan on getting some no-rise pullback bars soon, though, so the flipped bars are just temporary since the original bars looked like ape hangers with the low seat, LOL.

I like your work. I would like to order a layback seat post for my 51 Schwinn cantilevered that would parallel to the ground. Here's my post with pictures. http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=37638 I liked the one with the gusset under the seat. let me know how much.
Thanks

Speaking of vintage Schwinn's... INKED, I received the 13/16" layback you made for me .. Nice work!!! Here she is with the new post. I'm planning to lower the seat post after adding the china doll, but for now (when I'm pedaling), I keep it high.

I had one, yes. It did not make any more power, but seemed to slightly smooth things out. If I had the choice again, though, I would skip it and put the money elsewhere. Like in a balanced motor that spun more smoothly anyway, LOL.
But the wrist pin bearing blew on the motor and the shrapnel toasted pretty much everything (it blew somewhere in the mid 30s, so plenty of rpms to spread it everywhere). Since I found myself spending about equal time riding as I did with a maintenance task of some sort, I threw in the towel and parted her out.
I then built up my first electric bike and have not been back to gas since. I just finished up my third electric build, this one was for my wife. I think if I lived somewhere that I needed much more range I would consider gas again, but since everything that I need to ride to around here is within 10 miles round trip, electric works better for me.
Hey! Inked........
Would you be able to make a lucky seven or lazy "L" for a 1947 JC HIGGINS? I picked this up yesterday for $45.00
