Last years Trike Build lasted the summer and into the cold months. Being a sissy to the cold I parked the bike for the car over the winter. Looking @ the Red Rocket (Schwinn Meridian) It's a little worse for wear. Broken Front Spokes with a rim full of black brake dust from them cantilever...

My Schwinn Meridian has a hub motor in place of the jack shaft I used an Aotema with a freewheel on the right side and a gear on the left. Also has the same Aotema front hub. The rear drive however drives the rear axle and only turns the rear right wheel the rear left is free spinning and for...

its a Edinburgh from PowaCycle http://www.powacycle.co.uk/ http://www.powacycle.com/manuals/Assembly%20Instruction%20Manual%20-%20Edinburgh_Low%20Res.pdf You can contact them if you want to dig into what the actual motor if but is I am not mistaking its a Bafang motor that was produced for...

BLT 800 @ 48 V = ~1100 RPM 202cm tire = 79.52 in per revolution 1100rpm x 79.54in / 12 x 60 = 437470 Feet per hour / 5280 = 84.85MPH I'm good @ math but that's not going to be the actual speed with 1:1 ratio is it? That's unbelievable I assume that is unloaded but in theory with enough...

I uploaded a couple more pics hopefully that will give you a better idea. The pedal Chain ring drives the mid hub that has what looks like a screw on freewheel on the right the middle chain ring is welded to the hub and not removable that then drives the chain ring on the axel shaft. The...

I have been running this Aotema front hub now for close to 3 years on my Meridian Trike. Speed has never been an issue for me but power and range are essential. I have installed two programmable controllers that allows me to change between a speed and range setup to a low speed high power one...

I have used HTS-200 http://aluminumrepair.com to repair drop outs in the past. Have also used it to make frame and head tube repairs even used it to rethread a crank that striped a peddle. There cheapest box is around $60 but I have had my box for 2 years and still have over half or it left. if...

MY bike has a pitty good size bottom on the triangle. I cut a hole in it and installed a ZOOMBAK http://www.zoombak.com/. Then had the local weld shop Tig the hole I cut back up. Ran the power wires to the batteries on the bike. It has its own rechargeable internal battery but it don't use it...

In the Summer I just raise the seat and remove the windshield.

Who Needs Feathers I have a POD.

My kids are 4,2 1/2, and 1 year old. I have been hauling my kids since they was ~6 months old. For the wee ones I have a trailer with a roll cage and I installed the baby seat right in there. I don't suggest going real fast with an infant though just for safety reasons. For the Toddler and 4yo I...

Well Fudge I looked @ those and I didn't see nothing but ~5-6Volts packs @ $20-30 a pop. If you have a link to the 22.5s please share so I can bookmark it. The lead sled is already on so any change @ this point will have to wait till July when I have the funds to build my 3rd bike. I have always...
