Beautiful to begin with, yours' is the only bike I can recall looking even better after the e-treatment. Kinda the polar opposite of mine.
ahhhh yeh baby,
the norco is looking well sweet Y
i was reading a mtb magazine the other day and the norco shore 2 (i think it was a shore 2) came out top on freeride bikes beat the likes of specialised big hit/iron horse/kona stinky etc so looks like you have a cracking bike there mate (as we knew).
next time you get down to the bmx track take the camcorder man!!!
love to see it in action!!!
nice job on your bike there too skunk, very stealth good job!!

they look like sportsbike mufflers...but then again there is a rear hub motor and the black section of the muffler is going to the bike frame... i think they're battery holders LowellLowell said:

Cool bikes
Could you please show some close up pictures of how you mount battery? Construction details?
Hi Marty,
I'm part through a video of the construction of all of this - keep an eye on the Forum, I'll post it on Google Video when it's ready.
Hi
Some great pics there and yes Steves bikes look great!! esp as they both have triple clamp forks now, the battery boxes are brilliant and up close they look well professional.
Ypedal the Norco looks great it really does have a military look about it!!
My main ride is ugly but its a utility machine a commuter, my BMX has a certain cool factor as does the KMX, I do intend to build a super nice full suss rig along the lines of these bikes when I get the time.
Steves little DM bikes are such good fun to ride, they would sell by the bucket load I am sure.
Cheers
Knoxie

i think a large reason as to why they look good tho is the paint theme that he's done! i'm intending on my bike to go the black stealth look

So here it is with a backdrop of a rice field. Ordered my 5304 motor on 26" rim, 36-72V controller plus misc wiring from PoweRide - almost $900 with shipping. Now just have to find a Li Po4 battery and charger .

I have a front hub wheel but am undecided if I want to fit it (I'll start a thread).
When the "after" is ready I'll add a pic to this thread.

Hi all
here is a picture of my latest project before conversion. it has one of the worst riding positions for a pedel cycle I have ever seen, but as an E-bike for pure motor power with pedels just to keep the law at bay, it will be perfect.The rear wheel is 4.25 " wide and was screaming for a hub motor, so I've given it one a PUMA with a single cross.
The bike should be ready riding within a week.

Hi All,
I have been lurking for the last week and thought this was the ideal place for my first post. The photos below show the before and after of my first build completed about two months ago. It's based on a geared 250W chinese scooter motor and 24V 18ah Gel Batteries.
I hacked the frame in half with an angle grinder and welded in a subframe to support the new drive train and give it a very comfortable stance.
Top speed is currently geared for about 14mph and I get 12 miles range so far. I haven't pushed it to it's limits yet as there are some long steep hills around my home no matter which direction I go!
It wasn't until I was finished that I realised it might not be road legal in the UK, no pedals, but as my legs don't work properly (I haven't used a push bike in ten years) it didn't even occur to me to keep the pedals.
I have since been stopped by the 'plod' but only to ask how I made it!
I hope it gives all you hub motor demons a good laugh..... but it did only cost £200 to build. Next project will be using a Puma!!!
Many thanks.

I love the before pic.
As long as the welds are strong, you can always 'beautify" them later.
Too bad about the pedal requirement. It might be possible to add some. They don't have to be optimal, since they're only for looks.
In fact, if it appeared like you were pedaling, I bet they would never notice if they weren't connected to anything.

Here is the now bike... First test ride today, so it's still a work in progress. BMC Puma motor, 37v. 15AH Point 1 LiPO battery, 58 pounds loaded, 253 pounds with my fat ass on it.

Hi Uplink,
How did the test ride go ? That's a great setup, exactly what I'm building. Although I'm less generous is the ass department, my all up weigth will be similar as my frame is considerably heavier.
Also, can I ask where you got your Lipo's?
Again, great looking project, very BLING!
Cheers,
Ian

ChopperMan - I described the test ride in another post here:
http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2052
although since that post I realized I didn't start with a fully charged battery. Battery arrive from the dealer (EV Tech) at 39 point something volts - full charge is more like 42 volts. Redo tomorrow! (yea!)
