Stumbled upon this nice creation! is there anyone who knows if it is more than a eyecatcher? :) http://shop.icon4x4.com/part/icon-e-flyer-electric-bike (Moderator edit: moved out of E-Bike Reviews & Testing forum as it is not a review or a test. )

I dont turn if I dont have to! :D but it´s possible!

could not resist to add a photo of how we like our wheels in sweden in winter time ;)

It's gonna be a while before this thing kan hit the road, I've got more or less all the tubing and other parts but i cant really start building anything before I've desided on what motor and powerpack i want to use. so all suggestions are welcome! :D

sweet bars! and sweet machines! (Y)

Ah! you just got to have a hard ass! ;) I've been riding boardtrack bikes in 130 km/h with no suspension at all and yes it's rough but it has it's charm! and I'm planning to have some seat suspension ass you can see :)

not 16% ...but 16 degrees :shock: or more correct 72 mm "SB" on the chart posted here

the center of my seat is actually 16% behind de center of the pedal axel, but it does not really matter much for me, the only reason that i have pedals and not fotpegs are swedish laws. without pedals it can't de called a E-bike, but a electric motorbike. And the rules laws for an amature built...

One more pic...

played around for a while in my 3d software and made some changes to the bike, redesigned the fork yokes so the trail is now 53 mm, and moved the battery box upp 60 mm so now is the major part of the batterypack above wheel center. and when i was at it i redesigned the motor mount to a more...

I've having trouble to find there builds, can you post a link here?

On my frame the center of the pedal axle is 16 % in front of the center of the seat so i think it is going to work okej :) The long curves in the design might be weak in itself but there is a panel holding the two bent tubes fixed together. that is an awsome looking bike you got there! :D

I took a walk to the workshop and checked my tubing and it was actually 1.5 mm wall thickness and not 2mm so i was wrong, but that said it looks like it's going to be a better size of tube if i understand you right? :)

thanks a bunch! :D

I did a quick redraw and moved the battery box upp so it's center of mass is in line with the center of the wheels. Is there a sort of pendelum effect going on if the center of mass i lower in the frame?
