Well it was a good run..... was nice here in the northeast today so went out for a ride and the battery shut down after only a mile or so. Peddled this beast home and threw it back on the charger. Went out again this afternoon and same thing... i guess it is time for a new Battery. It is hard...

Approaching 10k miles on this thing.

Anyone have any idea what kind of cells they put into these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-20000mAh-Portable-Car-Jump-Starter-Pack-Booster-Charger-Battery-Power-Bank-/172046636925?hash=item280ec7577d:g:QsEAAOSwKtlWngVt&item=172046636925&vxp=mtr Why couldn't / or shouldn't I buy four of these to...

Searching ebay for a front rim with disc. Will then install hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. I haven't decided on brand yet.

Well winter is over. Installed Topeak fenders yesterday. Next up brake upgrade.

Congrats....It is beautiful!

I haven't had much time to work on it with the holidays but I did manage to service the front shock. I took it out in the snow last weekend and the tires handled great.

Just finished putting on new tires. Ended up going with Kenda Nevegals. Went with 2.7" on the front and 2.35" on the rear. I wanted to take it out for a test ride but darkness, 20 mph winds and sub freezing temps. ........ Tomorrow is another day.

Thanks for all the advice. I think in the end I will leave all the gears and simply install a larger chain ring on the front so I have the ability to pedal with the motor. Right now in the highest gear my feet are whipping around and going no where.

Very clean. Nice build.

Thank you Fellow. Very useful information.

I find I no longer use many gears since converting to an electric rear hub. Has anyone converted to a single speed? If so what kind of gear ratios are you using to pedal along at 30 mph?

I had a little time to work on it this weekend. Cut down the Battery Box then installed Marzocchi Jr T Bombers. Still waiting on a Fox Rp23 rear then next up will be tire and brake upgrades. I also threw it on the scale out of curiosity and it weighs in at 75.8 lbs.

Nice clean build. Well done.
