Found one, ordered and will arrive this week. I'll finish mine next week then. I'm considering racking the back and placing the battery over the rear wheel to balance the weight a bit. Leave the controller in the basket. Does the battery get in the way where you have it?

Thanks!! This looks awesome!

Oh nice! I like the new handlebars! Can you tell me what those are? Ginny Littleton, CO

I got my Schwinn Shuffle yesterday via Amazon and assembled it. Needed lots of extra help, but I'm a former bike mechanic so all i needed was my good tools. Added new tubes with some Stans in them for protection against flats. Got all excited that I would finish the e-build, got all my bits and...

I'm about to electrify mine. I am most worried about a 'too big' hub motor on a kick bike. I've been building ebikes for customers for 3 years using mid drive 48v1000w motors. I have a spare front hub 48v500w laced into a 26" inch wheel as luck would have it. My concern is that it's a bit more...

Oh, and we're both road cyclists. I wanted to convert to electric after a couple knee surgeries. It's really nice to have that bqck up when the knee starts to fatigue. G.

I've built several ebikes so far and I have an older eFit, i think it is. Actually, the Copenhagen got me started in e bikes. I was drinking last night and couldn't remember the math to get to amp hours... My husband bougth into the Copenhagen wheel when the Kickstarter first came out. He's...

I hope somewhere in the neighborhood of 20. He cycles for the workout, so he's not likely to just throttle and go. About to start commuting to work again, about 55 miles round trip. Too many companies claim 50-80 mile range with no proof, then consumers are angry when they realize those claims...

Superpedestrian is claiming 30 miles per charge. Ok, Up To 30 but I'm betting in the Denver 'hills', he'll average 15-16 if he only uses it on hills and from a stop to get up to spwed. He's waited 3.5 years for this dumb wheel. Thanks.

The specs my husband got about this wheel seem like they're hiding something. Can you decipher this? Rear motor, it only days 350w. Battery only says 48v, 279Wh Doesn't give a motor voltage or a battery Ah... Any info would be appreciated. Ginny Denver, CO

Ok. Readying and trying to learn and I have a question... Please correct any statements you see that are false. Motor just does what the controller tells it. Controller is the brain. A 24v controller must be paired with a 24v battery. A 36v controller must be paired with a 36v battery. A 500w...

Cheap, yes. No power, depends on your perspective. I don't want my son going 30mph unassisted. At a garage sale today, i found this for $20. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1324492134244856&id=100000522477287 It's brand new, had a tag on it and not much wear on the tires. Gonna...

LOL...he's studying computer tech and is getting into cyber security. He likes the bike, and I rode it 6 miles mostly on hills to see what 250W pulls on PAS on hills. It's nice extra but certainly doesn't make the hill flat. But the throttle extra does the trick. I might want an upright of...

http://www.eco-wheelz.com/catalog/izip-via-rapido-electric-bike-p-140.php I found one of these for $500 on Craigslist near me. Talked her down to $450, took the son to look and ride. He liked it so i bought it. I rode it around a bit and its pretty good. Battery is small at 10ah, but o thought...

They don't seem to sell these in my Costco. Wonder if it's a regional thing. Ginny
