I know this probably won't appeal to most of you guys, as many of you already know your stuff, or prefer to teach yourself, but just letting everyone know.. Australia's first Electric Bike Mechanics Course will be run in 2 weeks in Melbourne's west! After doing hundreds of conversions ourselves...

Thanks guys, and it was so great to see you, especially with the winning grins :) Please let me know about any group ride, will try to keep my eye on the space. Thanks, RevBecca

It's a good point.. I stupidly don't have any great pics of my rig (will need to sort that!), but it is featured in this video of last years event.. Mine is the Purple People Mover ;P https://youtu.be/0ja9_poP9bE

Don't forget to register any bikes you bring for the Show N Shine.. http://community.ata.org.au/melbourne-electric-vehicle-expo/show_n_shine/ My 1000w trike and trailer rig won Best Overpowered Electric Bike last year, reckon you guys can beat that, surely ;P

Brilliant guys, look forward to seeing you :D Please share the event through your channels for us - we are forwarding the movement together!

Great info Guys, cheers! We are going to over-volt a 20" MP3 to 72v, and will use a Lyen controller. We are converting a 20" Chopper (which currently has a hideous petrol motor on it), and am wondering if I should get the motor specially wound for higher top speed (as we have been getting some...

Oh yeah.. That sounds wicked Sam! I might need a longer sleigh for my trike for that one :lol: That would be an urban run I hope.. We'd be aiming to be seen! We're still interested in another more "off-roading" adventure too, or even a camping trip if anyone is wondering what to do for...

Our batteries can be made to any shape really :) Just gotta make up a template. Yes, they are really light for their capacity, and we can build The introductory price is $650 (including a $200 Cycle Analyst), add $100 for a custom-built shape. On longevity, not exactly sure yet, but they...

Hyena said: "When I was testing the very first magic pie with internal controller and temp sensor it ran fine for general riding but as soon as I regenned down a hill for 30 seconds it overheated".. Thankfully now they have better self-cooling systems, and you can program how long the regen...

That sounds pretty good too.. Thanks for all the ideas guys, brilliant! We are also now building our own 'reconditioned' Li-Ion / NiMh batteries (recycling cells retired from medical equipment) into triangular shapes, and will probably house them in the falcon bags. 6kg of battery is giving us...

Haha, you guys are so generous to my trike! It's pretty cool I admit, although I've yet to get used to its challenging handling, and it was less than ideal for off-roading (which you guys made look SO FUN by the way!) I ran over my own foot twice, haha! Was a great chance to try the Stealths...

Had an awesome time meeting all you guys and perving on the bike porn :lol: .. Soooo inspiring to see what all you guys are doing.. A very exciting space, we have the transport revolution within our throttles!!! Really hope I wake up in time 2moro.. bit of a late night.. We'll do our best, to...
