Your Creation's Before & After Pics

[dom]

Heyya Deecanio
I see you are finally making progress with your build -long time now
As we say -don't rush into things.hehe
I see your hanging to get the 72V happening -you are a patient man and will be well worth waiting to get it right.

Hi Bigh -you didn't happen to see that gasser in Geelong did you?I was zipping around on mine this arvo -gave my electric a bit of a break.
Melbourne would be a choice place for an ebike -hate that traffic up there

Been meaning to do a vid -had a few tries -but i need more memory on the cam!
Cheers
Dom

[deecanio]

hehe Dom,

yes patient or lazy
i'm re-arranging my battery setup at the mo and then i'll be going 36v30ah until knoxie gives me the all clear that the fet mod works then i'll be a 72v devil
i just got a cam the other day so i will take a quick vid of 36v run before i dismantle the bike to have the batts mounted - i'll pop it in my thread so have a gander if you like.
get some more memory - not enough footage in the world for me it's also nice to see other peoples enviroments and bikes in action too.

Cheers

Here's a generic "before"



And after




I've posted specs elsewere, but it's 80lbs, 4012/408 rear C-lyte hub motor running 48v at 10AH in a modifyed 30A controller

Looks good Drunkskunk. Clean and neat. You sure you're a "Redneck"?

I was about to say, looks professional to me.

After many different configurations !

After many different configurations !

Beautiful to begin with, yours' is the only bike I can recall looking even better after the e-treatment. Kinda the polar opposite of mine.

[deecanio]

ahhhh yeh baby,

the norco is looking well sweet Y
i was reading a mtb magazine the other day and the norco shore 2 (i think it was a shore 2) came out top on freeride bikes beat the likes of specialised big hit/iron horse/kona stinky etc so looks like you have a cracking bike there mate (as we knew).
next time you get down to the bmx track take the camcorder man!!!
love to see it in action!!!
nice job on your bike there too skunk, very stealth good job!!

[D-Man]

Yep, the Norco looks like a military assault e-bike. All you need now is a machine gun and a RPG launcher. Those boxes look like they hold some ammunition. Nice job.

This is an Ultra-Slow Mo clip of some Monkeying about on the bike.

TechBikes,
Cool bikes
Could you please show some close up pictures of how you mount battery? Construction details?

[BiGH]

holly crap the bike on the right - in the cylinders - they're painded battery holders right? thats druel worthy.

Man i really gotta get my bike design sorted!

Those are the mufflers...

they look like sportsbike mufflers...but then again there is a rear hub motor and the black section of the muffler is going to the bike frame... i think they're battery holders Lowell

Hi Marty,
I'm part through a video of the construction of all of this - keep an eye on the Forum, I'll post it on Google Video when it's ready.

Hi

Some great pics there and yes Steves bikes look great!! esp as they both have triple clamp forks now, the battery boxes are brilliant and up close they look well professional.

Ypedal the Norco looks great it really does have a military look about it!!

My main ride is ugly but its a utility machine a commuter, my BMX has a certain cool factor as does the KMX, I do intend to build a super nice full suss rig along the lines of these bikes when I get the time.

Steves little DM bikes are such good fun to ride, they would sell by the bucket load I am sure.

Cheers

i think a large reason as to why they look good tho is the paint theme that he's done! i'm intending on my bike to go the black stealth look all black can't wait!

So here it is with a backdrop of a rice field. Ordered my 5304 motor on 26" rim, 36-72V controller plus misc wiring from PoweRide - almost $900 with shipping. Now just have to find a Li Po4 battery and charger .

Another before shot - soon to be Mark's Mark II E-bike

A Jamis Dakar XC Comp.

I have a front hub wheel but am undecided if I want to fit it (I'll start a thread).

When the "after" is ready I'll add a pic to this thread.

Hi all
here is a picture of my latest project before conversion. it has one of the worst riding positions for a pedel cycle I have ever seen, but as an E-bike for pure motor power with pedels just to keep the law at bay, it will be perfect.The rear wheel is 4.25 " wide and was screaming for a hub motor, so I've given it one a PUMA with a single cross.
The bike should be ready riding within a week.

Hi All,

I have been lurking for the last week and thought this was the ideal place for my first post. The photos below show the before and after of my first build completed about two months ago. It's based on a geared 250W chinese scooter motor and 24V 18ah Gel Batteries.

I hacked the frame in half with an angle grinder and welded in a subframe to support the new drive train and give it a very comfortable stance.

Top speed is currently geared for about 14mph and I get 12 miles range so far. I haven't pushed it to it's limits yet as there are some long steep hills around my home no matter which direction I go!

It wasn't until I was finished that I realised it might not be road legal in the UK, no pedals, but as my legs don't work properly (I haven't used a push bike in ten years) it didn't even occur to me to keep the pedals.

I have since been stopped by the 'plod' but only to ask how I made it!


I hope it gives all you hub motor demons a good laugh..... but it did only cost £200 to build. Next project will be using a Puma!!!

Many thanks.
