    Penny farthing

    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

    NAHBS 2014 mid-drive build

    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...

    Advice needed: 20" Bike

    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.

    Mongoose CX 450 Builds

    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...

    Mongoose CX 450 Builds

    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...

    Henrik Fisker resigns from eponymous hybrid car company

    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...

    Paul Brodie ebee

    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

    The Electric Bike Media Event Feb 12 & 13

    I wasn't sure if I should post this in the E-vents section but it seemed more business related to me. Perhaps it's worthy of a cross post. I'll leave that up to the admins... Anyway, I found out about this on the Interbike website. It seems Interbike/Nielsen is hosting this thing and calling...

    Modern Retro is what I've been looking for

    BS. "The show was open to everyone" sorry but that's just a flat out lie. No way in hell would that ever happen at interbike. Give it up.

    Modern Retro is what I've been looking for

    This reeks of marketing spam. It seems like they're just trying to drive some traffic to their site. They were staying in the "same hotel" so they just decided to visit the show? Right. The public cant even get into interbike, it's a trade only convention and kinda hard to get in to. Get...

    Hanebrink Motorcycle with X5303 middrive motor

    Hanebrink is some kind of genius if you ask me. He is one that has continuously innovated throughout his career. An oddity these days really. The fact that he's embraced the technology of the lightweight electric vehicle is no wonder. Like most of us here on ES he must feel like some great...

    ebikes parts in los angeles

    Hey guys! I'm in Silverlake by downtown. Happy to meet up with fellow e-bikers. We could set up a group on meetup.com but maybe that's too complicated. :) You could always check out Hollywood Electrics for ebike stuff but they are a bit on the pricey side. Although they sell ebikes...

    Perm 120 controller options

    I picked up one of these surplus Brammo motors for an electric moto conversion and I'm thinking about what controllers will be a good match for those of us who are not into building our own or waiting for the Russian true sine-wave to become commercially available Here's the original post on...

    Jack Electric Scooter on Kickstarter.

    Nice looking product. Perhaps a bit complicated folding mechanism. Definitely a good competitor to the electric Go-peds. The same company makes the Mantys portable four wheeled scooter.

    Planning Second Bike - Need Advice

    I would search for a used steel framed tandem and start there. For suspension go with suspended seat posts, preferably a thud buster and maybe an old girvin flex stem on the front. (only problem here is that many tandem Mtb have a 1.25" steerer...) If you start with a mountain style frame and...

    bairdco racing at adams, september 15, 2012

    It was a hot day yesterday in Riverside and the racing went straight into the night. Of course I wasn't really able to get any good night shots from the main events but here are some some pics of the daytime activities. It was great to be there and see some of the work I've been admiring here...
