here's my gallery: http://picasaweb.google.com/nuvolamax/superbaics# note the new 220mm front disk! the battery position is perfect because due to very big powerful front brake it helps to don't let the rear wheel going up. Now I'm working on a rear ebrake.

I've found the perfect toruqe arm from ampebikes, I will just order it when I will come back from holidays. For rear brake I've to understand if I can just change the left cover with the new threaded 5305 cover. I'm speaking about buying this: my 5305 is old and doesn't have threaded cover...

Battery pack is too big to fit as is inside triangle, but I've no problems at all where it is now. Balance is perfect just now. There's no Rear brake! I'd like to use and idraulic brake but my old 5305 hasn't way to get connected to a disk, I'm still studing an easy solution. any proposal? big...

Kingfish I was reading your data to match our ride and I found a big difference between them: you made an average speed of 22 mph (about 34km/h), mine average is about 13mph 20km/h (I've done some miles on hill at 5-7 mph) I've 60ah pack, you have 50ah pack. Ok, I think to still have about 15...

Tuesday 154km done alias 96miles, made cycling for 9 hours!! to make more mileage I need to change my ass :P
