electric

I've been a lifelong cyclist but I'm 82 now so I have to adjust. I returned my trusty Steel Road bike to it's maker after 40 years of flawless service. It was the product of 20 years of study and applied engineering on my part. So now I must motorize, and solve some other problems. For example...

So, I have a build planned, that will use a 500w rear motor, a 250w front motor, and a KTM50. My question is about the KTM50, since I've been reading lately and it seems like it is a complete un-tamable monster of an engine, and getting it to be able to cruise around in is difficult to say the...

Custom bike made with .065" DOM carbon steel tubing. Bike has working turn signals, brake lights and high low beam headlight. Bike has never been tested other than as a pedal bicycle AND IS SOLD AS EXPERIMENTAL. This bike has motorcycle tires and rims. Batteries go in ammo cans in the rear. $399...

So I'm thinking of making a bike with this electric chainsaw as the power source: http://www.homedepot.com/p/ECHO-16-in-58-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-Chainsaw-CCS-58V4AH/205566014 It would require very little modification, as it already has a variable speed throttle, a clutch, and the...

Hello and thank you for reading and possibly helping, I am attempting to motorize a bike to get to and from a job, that's about 15 miles from where I live and though I've watched many videos on youtube on how to install the motor kits, I am very new to the world of motorized bike kits, though...

Had this bike built by a guy a fair while away from me, and less than two weeks later it's just stopped working. Managed to run half a tank of petrol, refilled and now the motor won't kick back in at all. The guy refuses to help me or take responsibility. I'm not great at things mechanically...

HI All, I am from Kerala of India, and interested to have an electric bicycle for my own local commute. Does any body know the best manufacuturer / suppliers in Kerala or India from where I can have one ?

The ebike frame came from Slovenia and took 1 month from fabrication to delivery at my door. The motor is a Greyborg beast and got that through the USA distributor. I purchased two 18 Fet controllers and I'll have to see which I like best on this heavy frame. Anyways, I got both a sensored...

A different kind of E-bike... Has anyone seen one of these? or thinking of building one of these? It looks like a 7 blade 120mm EDF unit - 6 units. Probably with a thrust power of around 10kg per EDF. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDVcecoC_f0 A low power version of this. I think this...

Selling for $3499. Yes it costs a lot but, to my horror, the parts cost alone exceeded $4000. The price spiraled out of control when I added the electric components to this already existing gas bike. This bike can run off either batteries alone or gas power or both simultaneously, as well as...

Has anyone tried running an in frame gas motor and a front wheel electric motor? I have been curious about this, almost to the point of ordering a motor to see how it would work. 2wd sounds fun. What are the potential pitfalls to this notion, besides weight obviously.

I've been thinking about building a 1500 watt electric trike now that I have room to store it. I want to build the whole thing from parts, just to build it. My plans so far are to use the front half of a bmx/kids bike with 20 inch rims for the front and build the rest from wood and metal. I have...

Hello! I have a 1/8 hp motor that we were hoping to use as a generator. It is supposed to turn at 810 rpm when supplied with 230 V and 2.7 A. When we spun it at 810 rpm, we only got 4 V though. Are we doing something wrong or is the motor defective? Or does the motor not respond the same...
