    First Hub Motor Experience*

    I didn't know much about bikes other than changing a flat and adjusting the rim brakes. I got tired of messing with getting the right gears on my hub motor....so I finally broke down and took it to my local bike shop. They charged me like $15 for the freewheel and $5 for installation. It was...

    Gopro HD Hero Camera Video Test

    I kept wondering if you were going to run into that big storm looming before you. I loved seeing you pass all those cars at the light. Stoplights are the great Ebike equalizer lol

    48v 1000w Conhis 2004 DH Cannondale Jekyll (Lots of pics!)

    That is one sweet ride!!! Nice work!!!! I see that you have your wires attached along the top of the triangle to get to your controller and other lighting on the back. Have you considered just running them through the battery box for a cleaner cable run? It seems like that could really make...
