    New Jersey ( USA ) pending legislation

    As I understand it, 49cc ICE bikes (and 1.5 HP eBikes) with pedals and: A white front headlamp and red rear taillight capable of being seen under normal conditions from at least 500 feet. These lights must be used between sunset and sunrise, or anytime bad weather makes it hard to see up to...

    New Jersey ( USA ) pending legislation

    Yay! Time to break the 2007 eZee Forza out of mothballs. I've been waiting for about 7 years for this! Sadly, the original battery has had it. I'll have to rebuild it somehow. <drifting off topic...>

    ZEV B-750

    60V, 750W, 1.44 kwh. "INTRODUCTORY PRICING MSRP $1925 PRODUCT LAUNCH DATE MID OCTOBER" http://www.zelectricvehicle.com/25.html No picture yet... looks interesting. Especially if they have a real VIN on it so it can be registered as a moped in states like PA and NJ, that (or, the lack of...

    Ezee battery charged, but no output

    Check the terminal bolts on the bottom, I have a Forza and although they were sealed with some silcone goo, there was enough corrosion cause problems. Also check the battery box, there is one external fuse, sealing on that is imperfect, contacts may need contact cleaner as well. There is an...

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Just thought I'd update this with my results-- Had a friend MIG weld the flange piece back on and had the LBS true the wheel up - I've put about 20 miles on it, seems OK although the spokes seemed a bit loose after the ride. Noticed the wheel was a little crooked in the fork, doesn't seem to...

    How many of us wear glasses while riding?

    Always wore glasses but hated the air hitting my eyes. Got worse when it rained. When it got colder I tried safety goggles, that worked but had some problems with fogging. Then I got a pair of prescription sunglasses with Liberty Sport frames similar to these...

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Only one who sold the bare motor was Justin but it looks like he's out of them. Nycewheels has the whole wheel for $395. Not too bad considering a BMC V1 runs close to that.

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Thanks for the input parabellum and dnmun, I'll have to look again at how much meat there is to play with. I don't remember seeing any other cracks. Not getting any bites on items wanted so this might be the ticket for this month at least.

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Never saw those before, interesting. I'd probably go for it if I lived in the city-- Spec sheet that I could find (for the cute 250w version) indicated a maximum torque of about 15 Nm if I'm reading it right--compared to about 60 Nm with what I have now according to the simulator (but 32 Nm...

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Spec sheet says 186 mm diameter on the motor, I guess that's on the small side compared to what most people here use?

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Hadn't considered that option! But I hear you, I had looked at bottom bracket motor designs before I bought the bike, and wish I could drop the motor into a lower gear every time I hit this particular hill I do about 8 MPH, pedalling hard... even with the planetary gears, it's none too...

    Yes, that's right.

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    It's an eZee 350W model, probably circa 2009 build. Here's hoping!

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    I asked the place I bought the bike from if I could get the shell, they said they only sell the whole wheel+motor together, so I guess I'll try Items Wanted here next. Thanks all!!

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Well, remember that song from Ace of Base, "The Sign" ? I didn't see the sign (titled something like "BE PREPARED TO STOP"), helpfully placed square in the middle of the shoulder of the road, due to a unique confluence of sun in my eyes, fog in my goggles, and me being too stupid to recognizing...

    Broken flange on hub motor, welding worth it?

    Minor ebike accident last week left me pretty much OK, but a 1" piece of flange was busted off my hub motor. Before I go on Items Wanted for a replacement motor shell I thought I'd ask here if it's worth trying to repair instead. I imagine it would require awesome weldling skills and/or...
