Thanks for the pics, the bike looks amazing. Quality parts and great finish.
I appreciate the info on the freewheel too, I thought it would be as simple as pulling them all off, taking the large gear off and putting a smaller toothed gear on the other side. Maybe not. The current smallest gear is a 14 tooth i think, which sucks at top speed, but good if I hit a hill and need the extra power.
My frame is good, not great, just good. It feels very strong, light but you can tell it's direct from China. The paint chips easily and i can feel the frame flex when i pull the rear brake. It's not a major issue as it still has stopping power, especially with the front disc and controller regen.
I was going to buy this one: http://au.alibaba.com/product/339724753-Mountain-Electric-Bike-with-7-speed.html. Although the cost was slightly cheaper, I liked the service of the guy I got mine from.
If anyone is interested in buying from this guy, here is the price he quoted my:
Frame-USD70
Front wheel-USD25
Brake(disc and v brake)-USD12
Front fork(ZOOM)-USD20
Saddle(Velo)-USD9
Chain-USD2
Derailleur(Shimano tourney 6 speed gears)-USD13.
So the total cost is USD151,and air freight cost is USD159.
= US$310 obviously without the motor, controller, battery and electrics.
I would like to make a battery box to fit 12s-16s lipo packs purely for the extra current, but that can wait untill my current battery dies.
