    Budget Pedelec 45 kph build

    Looks like a good build. Did you say you joined the battery cells with nuts and bolts? If so, I would like to see a pic showing that. I thought battery pack builders were using a tack welders to assemble cells.

    Dyno Moto 7 CL find

    To me, that is a beautiful ebike. The motor kit does not interfere with the classic lines of the Dyno.

    Fewer Americans bike to work despite new trails, lanes and bicycle share programs

    Increased workload by employers. -Demands by employers that we respond quickly at all hours. -The need to lug a big laptop. -A few big holding companies own formerly independent companies. Its similar to a cartel. I have worked for companies that support bicycle commuting, but not in the last...

    Gloves for working with batteries and electronics

    Along that line, what about wearing a grounding cuff on the wrist while working on e-bikes? Does it provide any protection to electronic components from static electricity during maintenance? -We wore the grounding cuffs on our wrists at work while programming and marking chips.

    Delta trikes vs tadpole trikes

    Unless the design allows the trike to lean, the delta trikes will always always corner and brake slower than the tadpole trikes.

    Why fat tires on a street ebike?

    My fat tire bike (not electrified) works great in the coastal sand, but I never plan to ride it on pavement or hard pack for any length of time. It just takes too much muscle to climb and accelerate with the big heavy tires. - I would only electrify a fate tire bike if I needed all that...

    Honda Express electric hub motor conversion

    I don't think you would be happy with anything less than 48v 750W. That may take you up to 20 mph.

    RIP Carl Reiner

    I remember watching Carl Reiner a lot on the Dick Van Dyke show. After that, mostly movies and TV guest appearances.

    From ICE muscle cars to EV powered cars...

    I like their "crate motor" approach electric conversions. Looks pretty expensive, though.

    Lowrider eBike project

    I love this thread. I recently finished my banana seat bike (Sears Spyder replica) build. I may have to add a hub motor.

    Mechanical disc brake thin hex key

    I have used a hack saw to shorten hex keys. Its tough on the really good hex keys, but easy on the cheaper ones.

    Mechanical disc brake thin hex key

    Can you cut down the hex key so that you have room to insert it? I run into similar problems myself.

    San Antonio TX Die In

    Since I moved to TX 9 years ago, I quit riding on the pavement and sold the road bikes. I ride trails or sidewalks here. Its just the way it is.

    New York to legalize ebikes?

    I visited Manhattan last week and saw e-bikes ridden on the streets with impunity.

    Kerry femur fail

    What is it about Irish guys and bike crashes lately? (Kerry is a County in southwest Ireland). Bono broke his wrist or hand while riding a bike and still cannot play guitar again. (I can pick on them because I have plenty of Irish blood in me). -Maybe it's their age, rather than ethnicity...

    Formula E championship starts today!

    I watched my first Formula E race today on TV. The circuit was at an airport in Berlin. The racing was very close. I like the pit stops too. They just swap cars.

    Electric Bike(selling/commuting) reality show

    I think an E-bike reality show would get great ratings as long as it contained plenty of infidelity, treachery, substance abuse, marriage counseling, sex changes and the usual reality show fare. Seriously, a show similar to Motorweek, but focused on electric powered vehicles, could be...

    Segways win approval for Swiss bike lanes

    In Arizona, people would would walk their dogs, push baby strollers and everything else in the bike lanes, rather than use the abundance of sidewalks. A Segway in the bike lane certainly wouldn't slow things any further.
