A lil pricey, but what I here from everyone its a good set ideal for motorizing... Tripled walled and non sleeved spoke holes so that you can use thicker spokes easily

Thanks Ocho but I couldn't find a 2.5" wide rim on this site. However, I did see some cool tires I like. I think I'm going to use the rim I have already since I don't plan on riding the bike too hard.
When my kit comes in, I plan on taking it to Chuck at Bicycle Express to respoke the wider rim on my MP3. You probably know him. He's the only bicycle shop owner who loves and has a bunch of Motorized bicycles.

Yea those large marge rims are one of a kind...Why do you need them so wide?
Yea i know chuck, great guy, he knows what it takes to build a motorized bike rim... He has built three of my rear wheels and i have had no problems with them so far. And he has a great collection of them.

I just bought one of these. Gun ah try in fit a bat,tree in er......latter on some time when I have $500 to get one. For E bike #2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330881417755?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
That's a simple question to answer Bro.
It has nothing to do with performance since this bike will not be going more than 30 mph but I love the way it looks with wide rims.
It's definitely smoothes out the bumps with the big fat tires and the shock DMB gave me. Even when I lock out the rear shock, it's still like riding on air!!!
Today I decided to use both head lamps and bought the bracket to mount them. I trimmed up the T bracket so the lights can be as far back as possible. This is how it came out. Hopefully I can light up the streets at night.

looks great. if they are cree lights like i have they are actually brighter then my car headlights. i think you are going to be real happy with them
Yes there are the same lights you're using. I was impressed with Mike's pictures that's why I bought these ones.
Paul, did you hook it up to your 48volt battery or are you running a separate power supply?
Also how did you wire them and where did you put your switch?
mine came with a rechargable battery and i run it off that. i want every mile i can get off my big battery
I'm going to run the lights off my big battery first to see how many miles I lose with both of them on. If its too many miles, then I have a small 12 volt battery that I used for my wet nitrous set up that I can use.
1 light draws a little less than a quarter amp at 53 volts. I think I measured 210 mA. So, if you leave it on for 4 hours, you will use ~1 AH.
One is plenty bright enough.

I just back from a bike ride with my boys and used a 12volt jumper box for my lights and they were really really really bright! I didn't use a switch so I couldn't turn them off. As we were riding through the park, my neighbors kept turning around with that look of a car or something big was going to run them over.
Well the package finally arrived but after checking out the goods, I noticed that no instructions were included.

The one thing I noticed was that stock rim is only a quarter of the thickness as my wide rim!

I got a little bored while watching Mystery Diners so I tried to lace up the rim myself. It was pretty easy but I'm going to let Dean true the rim for me.

I figured out most of the wiring except for three things:
The wiring that is at 11 o'clock and the dealeo that is at 4 o'clock.
Does anyone know where the 4 strand wire s hook up to?
and what is the thing that is at 4 o'clock? It looks like a horn.
