OK well all this week I've been in training and it appears the class I'm taking is now going to run into Friday so I'm sorry Tom, I probably won't be able to attend. I'll try to stop bye depending on when I'm done. Steve Hi All Sorry its been a while since I was on, I've been focusing my...

Thats awesome! I wish you the very best of luck, but you won't need it thou, you've got a lot of talent and creativity. Keep posting on your experience or start a blog, I'd like to follow along with your experience. Take care Steve

Hi All Tomorrow at 9:00 Mountain Standard time starts Sparkfun's annual free day. If you are a Hacker / Hobbyist this is an opportunity to get some free goodies. I do not know these guys, but I have done business with them and I have found them to be an excellent company. Anyway check out the...

I haven't been around much, I've been putting most of my energy into finding a job, I'm tired of no money for new projects! But I have been revising my Revive, and looking for a newer version so I can build a 2 wheel drive version of a Revive. Anyway some of the updates I've done are to remove...

Hi All I have to apologize for not being able to put the time into pumping this up as I should have. I've been focusing on finding a job and getting back into the work force. I will say I have enjoyed the opportunity to work on some of my long term projects that have not been moving forward...

OK how many of you are planning on attending tonight's World Naked Bike Ride? Here in Portland the Portland police are asking all riders to make sure they wear helmets and shoes to avoid potential injuries. http://www.kptv.com/news/28278209/detail.html http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/...

Hi All Well tonight I attended the OEVA (Oregon Electric Vehicle Association) monthly meeting. Much of the discussion was about their up coming Electric Vehicle Celebration Day on July 9th at the Pioneer Courthouse Square. I asked if the local E-S guys could display our bikes at the event. I...

Yeah you could build a serious torque monster with one of those! There maybe more work involved in making it work, but being able to control the gear ratio (top speed) would make for a safer and better hill climbing ride. What kind of life would you get out of one of those brushed motors...

Hi Couldn't help but make a comment on the post, I've been working on and off for a couple of years on a safe marketable adult trike and haven't come up with something that safely does everything. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16595 I would suggest the Schwinn Meridan is...

Here's another photo after a few hours work Still needs wiring, cover and handle Greenerwheels

The first thing I did with my Cobra was to remove the rear brake and replaced the brake levers with standard levers each controlling the left and right front brakes individually. Gives you turning brakes (And amazing fun on wet surfaces) and it would seem the dual pull lever would require...

Time to update the ride, I promised my daughter I'd start taking her to school on our trike, well nice weather and the end of the school year is approaching so I have little time to waste. Only problem my daughters school sits on Cooper mountain and although its called a mountain, its not all...

Well maybe I'll be going to court, because the way the law is written, does that mean my daughters bike with training wheels is not legal, or some of the new mobility scooters are four wheels are they illegal? I'm just not sure what the logic is 3 wheels ok 4 is not. Greenerwheels

There will always be someone that says "it won't work". This is a complete solution that can be swapped between bikes in about an hour. The only thing you'd have to do to the bike after you mount the axle is put the throttle on the handlebars (check out my Revive, as I've got a solution that...

Sorry about leaving a drive side picture out, here it is for you Amberwolf. Oregons law regarding electric bikes is as follows: 801.258 “Electric assisted bicycle.” “Electric assisted bicycle” means a vehicle that: (1) Is designed to be operated on the ground on wheels...
