How will you controll the clutch? Do you have a lever on your handle bar?
it makes more sense right now with a newborn and my wife has a better job than I did.

now you're waste for our consumer society that's really sad (ok you buy ebike stuff, but that's not enough for the omnivore economy) there should be so much room in our society for us. We're those who lead(?) our world into a better society. Maybe we should instead invent things which recycle things
But today 95% percent of our oil is burned !!! I do so myself.
why should we?!?
Ok I heat and drive with natural gas.....
Ok I'm just joking... but there's so much science for that I couldn't bear my live without.
once a economist in my country said that he asks himself why people ask him when his solar heat amortizes. He had so much fun under his solar powered shower that he didn't ask himself. He called that add value. No one asks for the amortization when one buys a Mercedes Benz.
Your idea about the grip shift isn't so wrong. you should use a left hand 3-speed one that comes with all those chain-shift bikes. Maybe you could get a 2-Speed one (thy are also available) at the bays for cheap. You could also get a 2-speed thumb shifter

Yea, our society is in trouble..period. That is the main reason I'm doing my ebike..To get around when things start to fall apart, and to have "a prototype" that I can show off so anyone that sees me and is interested can have a test drive and become a potential buyer of one for themselves.
So my main reason: It may benefit my family in the future. That's it! This is not just for fun. And I'm trying to make it simple and robust so it will last a good long while.
The rest of the (cool!) stuff I accumulated over the years is starting to look like nothing more than dead weight in a changing world. Ya know.
Good idea! I will have to start that research soon!
I got my rear tire back from the bike shop! Yay, but he laced it wrong. This rim is designed for criss-cross lacing where say.. the left side hub flange should be laced to the right side holes in the rim for a greater degree of triangulation and lateral strength. he said he would fix it but I decided to take it for now so I could get some measurements from it.
Lily sais YUM-YUM daddy! ..9 months old..taller than a 1yr old..and walking ALL the time already! 8)

gensem said:Jay, do you have a clue about the power that plan to run? roughly?
gensem said:As requested...
Dont know how it is in action but it does look good
(might need to swap the 600lbs spring for a 300-400one)
crossbreak said:You should keep an eye on chain tension if you want to build them yourself. It isn't as easy as it seems. I broke 2 chains yet because my mine (third tenstioner) failed. Maybe my fourth attempt might interest you (it's not my design but it shows the principle). It varys the distance between the axles (it's not usable on a shaft, you need a hub for the gears):
So things have turned around and the build is moving forward at a good pace

Glad to hear it, watching your thread with great interest. Great drawings and you're wise to use Thud's expertise to get you through!
gensem said:Im yet to test it... still waiting on the frame and swing arm.
Crossbreak, Did you post this in the wrong thread? Build what myself? You couldn't have known I had a change of plan to make the swingarm myself. What are these?
