The battery and controller: trying to make this aesthetically pleasing has become a challenge, too many wires and not enough space...
Dyno Mid-Drive Shifter Build
- Thread starter culvercityclassic
- Start date
Is tough to do.
I suggest you take all the wires down and hide them around the BB.
A little sheet metal hides a lot of ugly ;-}
If I can offer some advice go one more step with that ''muffler clamp'' Take easy to bend flat strap steel from the Hardware store.

10 dollars will make a bunch of them! Incorporate that into your muffler clamps with EPDM rubber membrane ''thin stuff''. Get a super tight clamp hugging over much more surface area and never gauge or crease a bike frame tube again.
Blow Torch set would do the trick. Or Map gas and a ark welder. Make them in about thirty minutes time. Unless there were weird tubing sizes red kneck bench grinder and some prized curse words lol.
Dang nice looking Dyno! Have not followed these shifters for awhile. I remember my first kit with the two smoke. Was a pita trying to adjust the chain to the pedall crank sprocket.
Kinda needed to dance with half links and replace the chain as the kit muffler clamps made creases in the seat stay that made it to just one position.
Imagine they came up with somthing sharp for that now? Dang How many Dyno's you have? I am jealous
Hey Goat got it figured out with some advice of my know it all 19 year old son. If you know me I am a billet guy... So I own stock in them clamps. Ha ha...The bike is close to bring done...was going to powder coat the bat box white but may leave it to match the cranks and controller...

Sweet
I don't have the machines to mill aluminum, heck I only have the basic tools for steel work, but you sure do nice work with aluminum.

Thanks KC... Aluminum is really easy to work with.
This little sleeper beast will be done tomorrow.... One panel to hide the wires and it's a wrap

Got the bike on the road yesterday, it is solid and fast, left it in forth for the first ride. Bike sits tall which I like for when I plan to pedal. The battery kicks ass too... 58 volts makes a big difference, higher the voltage... Lower the amps= less heat...
A few little details made for this bike...

KC it's the SBP 48 volt kit, the controller is rated at 60 volts. Yesterday did a little speed run in fifth gear, 33 mph. Road the bike to work today, 6 min 1.5 miles... Second gear used only.
Don't we all wish we had that commute to work.

Indeed! In order for me to make it to work (3.5mi.) in 6 minutes, I'd have to ride WOT on the 212cc and be riding like a madman
Nice commuter!
Ya, a good flexible system.
Nice job.
As for my commute to work it's brutal...
I have to walk a good 5 yards, indoors, each way!
A little update, bike is running great... New law on bike paths... Ebike's are all good up to 20 mph. Bike lane is 26mph... Don't look back...

Been over 8 months since I have posted about this bike. Everyday ride to work, rideshare program gave me 2 days off with pay per year and every quarter $70.00 its a win win deal and I dont have to deal with any traffic BS. Love my Sick bike parts shifter bike!!!!

My "commute" is fifty miles, but I don't make it every day. The last bike, Tanglebones, did it in a record time of an hour and a half. I'm hoping Murder can inherit the crown in grace, as Tanglebones made that trip many, many times. Everything about this bike is better, so I can only hope it is at least the sum of it's parts. Still can't bring myself to go electric, probably because I live off the grid, and therefore can't feasibly support an e bike. I wish I could be putting my limited knowledge of Tesla's inventions to use! The brushless motor has so much potential!
What kind of range do you get out of your pack? And how many cycles can you expect before replacement? My first abused ChinaGirl screamed along for nearly 4,000 miles and pushed 200mpg at 30mph, if an E bike can rival that, I'm sold. Call it 3000 miles at 20mph with a 60mile "WOT" charge range. And a replacement battery can't cost more than $150USD, shipped, for those parameters.
Yea my demands are strict, that's why I'm riding a two smoke. But any e bike that can do it, I'll buy. Oh yah, the poor thing has to pull 360lbs at those speeds for those distances too, and be able to handle a 6% grade and 50 mph head winds, ALL AT THE SAME TIME! That's alot to ask from an e bike, but still if I knew of one, I'd be an owner.

What? My carb is tuned just fine thank you! Lol, but seriously, what? Save me the Googleing please. Are they pushing us out?
