I saw this and just had to post. I would love to see a video of it being ridden. Totally old fashioned yet totally outside the box. http://www.bikerumor.com/2014/06/29/found-bad-ass-homemade-miniature-penny-farthing-e-bike/#more-80997

A beautiful design and a well executed project. Very simple appearing yet still sophisticated and complex. I'm glad to see stuff like this. It's funny to me how negatively traditional cyclists still view the electric bike as something tacky, lame and embarrassing. This is definitely none of...

http://www.altonus.com/web/bikes/minivelo.php Here's a 20" wheeled, adult sized non folder that I have seen in person and it is quite usable (ie not a BSO toy...) Bikes direct.com used to sell a mini too but I no longer see it on their site.

I mounted some lead on the ghetto goose and got it going. Of course it's a complete dog but is perfectly rideable as is. It tops out at about 17 or so mph but it sure takes its time getting there with me on board. The gearing feels about right but its no hill climber, that's for sure. I spin...

Hey guys I thought I would throw this first build up here and sort of introduce myself. I've been lurking for a long time and have been riding electric bikes for a lot longer. So far always factory built and including: an early currie freedom with the brushless USPD style drive and powered by...

Hey anyone on here that wants to head up to SF to see Maker Faire from the greater L.A. area? I'm looking for someone to split the driving/gas with me. We can take my car or yours. Looking to do a quick trip there and back, maybe leave first thing saturday morning and come back late that...

I'm thinking of taking a ride up north to go see the show. anyone from the Los Angeles area want to share a ride up there?

http://www.plugincars.com/henrik-fisker-leaves-fisker-automotive-126678.html Just saw this article and was gonna post. I always had high hopes for Fisker but there was always an aspect of vapor to the ware they were pushing. Initially it seemed they even marketed the car as "electric" and...

http://www.cycleexif.com/paul-brodie-ebee The finished result is up. A fine piece of craftsmanship. Perhaps the little top "fairing" is a bit jarring but it does a good job at concealing the wiring for the C/A at least. The drive system design clearly shows some advanced intelligence was...

They posted part 2 of this build. It truly looks stellar, right up there with some of the great mid drive builds http://www.cycleexif.com/paul-brodie-ebee-part-2#more-12105

Interesting bit about the mountain bike design legend and a project inspired by Justin if Grin Tech. Can't wait to see the finished product. http://www.cycleexif.com/paul-brodie-ebee-part-1#more-12068

Did you ever get this together? I just found one of these bikes on Craigslist for a song and need some inspiration.

i just found another shop that's pretty close to you in el segundo. Looks like they sell some pretty good brands of off the shelf bikes http://www.electricbikesla.com/
