    Toronto asked to keep e-bikes off sidewalks and bike lanes!

    As someone that rides my ebike(not e-scooter-I'm not against them but they are different)on toronto bike paths/lanes and roads-I must say that I have no desire to ride on the sidewalk.But people like this Yvonne character need to wake the f-ck up.I usually cruise around at 20-25 kph and it never...

    P R O J E C T "Y" KILLABICYCLE World record 17 june 2009

    Doc,Ypedal has some great 20"rims-real wide and beefy-I would get those and use a smooth 3" chopper tire for stability.Or you can get oddessy 20" /2.25 tires that go to 110 psi-they fit great on the wide rims.

    Currie 1000w scooter motor VS RC motors?

    Hey I am actually building a bike with that currie motor.The only problem I have encountered is that you have to gear it high to get some performance out of it.for example to get good acceleration you should use 20" tires and get the biggest crank sprocket and freewheel hub you can find.Also the...

    Need input on my next build..........

    If you want strong rims-ask ypedal-I bought his wide heavy duty 20" rims for my motard project and they fit 3" chopper tires-but I think your 2.25 will fit just fine as well.He got these rims from the zero motorcycle guys before they switched to 24" rims.They are priced cheap as well.
