Choppers / Cruisers

[thewmatusmoloki]

Gday, I love choppers, they look cool !

Yeah, I know, lousy performance, terrible handling but the one's i've thrown together over the years
have just been for cruising around and showing off. They only do a maximum of 45kph.
People see me coming from the front and say "cool, but where's the motor?" that's when i say "right here" and pull the throttle and power past usually hearing "huh or wtf" from behind.

I've found them to be the most comfortable ebikes to ride that i've tried probably because of the "pedal forward" seating posistion.

Here's a couple of pics of the "frock choppers" that i've built and sold. Just hubbies, and not in the same league as some of the amazing machines
made by the talented members of this forum.

This one was the first effort years ago with a golden motor and a 20a/h ping split pack, pretty ghetto .....Some longer wheel base choppers followed...View attachment 3Then the trike/jag ...And my current ride (couple of yearsold now with lots of kay's)
So anyone feel free to post up some pics of your E-chopper, might be nice to have a collection of pics in the one thread.

Here's one I saw down the beach in Surfers, what a HUGE space for batteries, and don't sit too far back on that seat !and a wooden chop.

Got this one for $50 awhile back and am slowly (and I mean slowly,been it's been in the shed for a year now)
turning it into a low powered frockster for a friend. I have an old GL2 hub from B White from years ago just waiting for some spokes so it can go into the 20" rim and get a fat tyre. It's nowhere near finished yet.Stainless steel battery box, designed to hold 6 x 6s 8ah 30c zippys, which I don't have yet.The seatpost is a bit of a work of art ! 31mm Stainless tube with a solid stainless bar welded inside, and a gusset.
I reckon it's a bit far back myself, should be interesting riding. Might have to extend the dropouts back a bit somehow.View attachment 1Modded the fake fuel tank with the switches,charge plug and there's a dc converter in there.

Cheers.

Here's some pics of my custom cruisers and trike i have built since 2008

A couple of my trike fitted with 20x4.25in rear wheels-->

My first custom 2 wheel cruiser-->

My current ongoing project, will get to painting it eventually too much fun riding it too pull it down now shes rippin' hehe

One of the Blue Cruiser next to one of my mates Harleys, gives
a good idea of the size and length of wheelbase i think, compared to
motor-cickle, we lined them up, they are about equal axle to axle-->

Sweet bikes ebv! I like 'em all...

This one in particular looks very comfortable to ride, interesting suspension on the rearIt's a shame there's no pedals..

This must be one of the most modified hub motor/wheel combo's i've ever seen, I just stared at it for ages

Nice console, that's my kind of "fuel" tank

All the best.

It's a shame there's no pedals..

I guess it's boss's mobile office. The boss does not have to pedal

Here are my first two attempts at building electric powered bikes that in my opinion still have the "cool" factor! Enjoy!

First one is an Electra Ghostrider:

Next one is a Phat Stretch:

Just returning to the forum here is my old build from 4 years ago.
https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=42852

my old bike i used to ride around japan it got alot of attention and I had installed a speaker on the back with some rear saddlebags for storage space. Sadly I had to let it go because of some unforseen circumstances although I am building another ebike but its just a small folder.

Heres mor pics
I sprayed everything in olive green amd recreated a ww2 army helmet. Also took a gas can cover from an old bike off ebay and mounted it on the frame
which held an amp that u could plug an ipod into that powered a speaker on the rear rack
