    Pedal delta trike into electric tadpole

    There is an unusual, rear-steer delta trike called the Mobo Triton Pro which I'm considering going Dr. Frankenstein on. It has a 20 inch, pedal driven front wheel... but what if the seat faced the other way and the now-rear wheel had a hub motor? It would then be an electric-only tadpole. At...

    RideKick controller production problem

    I bought a RideKick powered trailer recently. Noticed that the controller was tripping quite often. Took a look at it, and discovered this: The heat sink only contacts the edge of the right-hand FET. Clearly it's a production error - the pad of heat-transfer stuff is the correct size but...

    Anyone switched 250W --> 450W MY1018s?

    My (older-model) eZip Trailz from Wal-Mart has the 250-watt MY1018 (2 3/4" housing). I finally got around to trying a 36-volt SLA pack on it, which the older controller was okay with. Lots more speed, a banshee whine from the gears... and of course some extra heat inside the motor. It didn't...

    Ready to order my third 28-11 freewheel...

    The first one went on the Ross, so I could add something to the BL36's top speed. The second went on the Hyper Insight (nonpowered Wal-Mart cheapie 'bent) to allow it to exceed 12 mph or so. Stock gearing is way low on those. Today I finally got around to trying the 3x12ah SLA pack from the...

    Firefighter shoots bicyclist - Asheville, NC

    Folks - An off-duty Asheville firefighter was charged with attempted murder for shooting a bicyclist who had his 3-year-old in a seat behind him. The bullet passed through the helmet without striking his head. Seems the firefighter didn't like the cyclist being on a busy surface road with his...

    Ezip & Izip fire road ride

    (This is pretty long and not very technical; thought other newcomers might find it useful. Those with more experience and better gear, thanks for your patience...) My wife and I brought our ebikes to a local recreation area (Lake Powhatan - info at...

    Trailer pulling with eZip: 36v + gearing change?

    I've got one of the $300ish Wal-Mart eZips, and also a Burley Nomad trailer. I've used the trailer behind a nonassisted bike and going up Asheville's hills was pretty grim. So I'd like to pull the trailer with the eZip, but it's marginal on steeper hills already. Looking for a low-cost...
