I had planned on a big road trip (in a car, camping)- still might, but can't leave yet. Otherwise pretty much caught up.
Soooo, I'm thinking it's time to let a bike 'go', (and replace with 2 more)
Goal 1: 2wd Utility hauler, tractor like, lowest cost possible.
Good torque 0-20mph, reliable/quiet/stealth and not too heavy.
I have:
1kw front kit
12s 16ah battery
I need:
Bike -$225
1kw rear kit -$200
Rebuild fat wheels reusing rerolled spokes with hozan threader. Will put a big rack on it and may have a spare set of hydro brakes to throw on as well.
Cost out of pocket: <500$
Total cost: <900$
I'm afraid it still might weigh 100lbs?
Goal 2:
Retire the Klein mantra (my sig). I'm so happy with my creation and if I had the room (and money) I'd keep it around, but I should move on to something sturdier.
Steel frame, double crown, 19" shinko 241's.
I had planned to try a bigger motor but it makes more sense just to move everything over. Lots of work and I will miss the klein I'm sure.
I have: almost everything lol.
Mostly custom work and will try a new hopefully sturdier rear dual FW hub w/ sealed bearings. Gonna try to gear it for 30-35mph on 24s/60-80a, but might start with stock gearing of 42mph.
Afraid it will weigh 100lbs, but at least it'll be HD and 7kw capable.
