    A piece of Australian ebike history

    G'day folks. I found this in the back of a friend's shop. It's a Russell Rogers Phantom. Built in Shepparton, Australia back in the early 1990s. Not many were built. 2 X 12v SLA batteries for power with no controller! There are 2 relays that I think provided either soft start or 2 speeds. The...

    G'day folks I live in Melbourne, Australia with the most severe lockdown in the country. Masks are compulsory, night time curfew, travel limited to no more than 5km from home, streets deserted etc. All that's missing are zombies roaming the streets. Anyhow, my wife's friends suggested they give...

    Barn find EVT 168

    G'day peoples, Last week I was lucky enough to score a 2005 EVT 168 that's been in storage since it was taken out of the container. Dirty & dusty, but most of it's there. 3Km / 2 miles on the odometer. Don't get much newer than that. Charger & mirrors are still packed in the battery...

    AussieRiders beach cruiser ressurected

    G'day peoples, A while ago, I built a beach cruiser. Then, last February, I had the LiPo batts go up in flames, taking the bike with it. Even melted the alloy wheel rim! It was hot! After a total strip down, the frame wasn't damaged, although a lot of alloy brackets were melted away. It was a...

    LiPo fire destroyed my beach cruiser. Warning for others!

    G'day folks. Had a disaster last night that I'd like to share as a warning for all. I built this beach cruiser about 3 years ago. I've had great use out of it & it was my first choice when I wanted a ride or to get groceries. I thought I'd been looking after the LiPo pack ( 2x4S, 2P ) as it had...

    AussieRider's second build

    G'day. So I've started my second build. Here's the new frame, I've put wheels, seat & pedals on to get an idea of the layout. Not much room for the motor & batts. Dunno if you can see it, but the first problem is that the chainring & back sprocket cluster don't line up. On the first build I...
