    Stinky Turnigy 80-100 -Nuvinci semi auto

    WHOA!!! The start of the video startled me!! :shock: The Stinky sounds great and you're booking it nicely. Thanks for another great video Burtie. I think breakdowns and repairs seems to be the norm with our homebuilt ebikes. I've a full rebuilt going on for my Cyclone 1200 and a 2nd...

    Updated DownTube Folder/ Cyclone Ebike

    Hey 02jze! I bought the Cyclone kit about 2 years ago and it does have the gearbox attached. I'm still a noob with this ebike stuff and am thoroughly impressed by the torque this little black box can dispense. :twisted: Cheers, Norman

    Updated DownTube Folder/ Cyclone Ebike

    Hey All. Some of you may remember my Downtube Cyclone Folder from last year. This year we moved to a house and with a workshop I was able to "tighten" up my setup. Now I have a daily commuter that will open up to over 50km/h (current top speed I was brave enough to push) that will save me...

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    Hi ya Mike! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it would be a dream if I could build Ebikes for a comfortable living. As soon as I get back to working I might do a few more conversions for sale. The Shock is a Veltochnik 20" suspension fork I found off the 'Bay. Specs are here...

    Ebike security

    Not much to offer for ebike security here, but I must say that on my trip to Japan a few years back I saw something that blew my mind. It wasn't some high tech gadget or beefy mechanical lock device. No GPS 'lo-jack' electronic wizardry. People would ride their bikes to the train station...

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    Hey Bluehead! Thanks for diggin' the "Orange Flash". 8) She can be a bit of a hand full if you really twist that throttle open from a dead stand still. With 20 lbs of battery on the rear rack sitting high it's not much of a trick to wheelie it up and over. So far I've only start the...

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    Hey John. Yeah, I normally would have argued it but since the super and I have a good relationship I don't want to give him a hard time. The rule was put in place because of the accumulative damages to hallways and elevators form kids hauling thier bikes thru the building. As an owner these...

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    Sooooooooooooo,it's been a while as I am scouring the net for alternative career choices and stuff. Researching as much as possible to figure out what I can do aside from being an exhibit designer. Anyhoo, lets get to the good stuff. Since my last update? I DID IT!! JUST TODAY I TOOK THE...

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    A word of caution! I've been torturing myself with modifications to fit the the MTB shifter/brakes to the bull horns. Turns out the shifter /brakes fit a 22mm dia. handlebar. The bull horns are 24mm. If you can get bull horns at 22mm dia. your laughing. Meanwhile I'm going back to straight...

    Anybody got Ping batteries shipped to Canada?

    I just got my Ping Battery last week. I'm in Scarborough Ontario. No duties added. Packing in top notch! Ping is a seasoned pro and knows how to pack a 20 lbs LifePO4 nice and secure. Tracking was next to useless as the postal service does not update, as mentioned above. Totally 100%...

    Outrageous 120 kph claims?

    Regardless of whether the rider hit 120 I still think the video is totally awesome. Wished he had a rear camera to capture the expressions of all the motor scooter and car drvers. Not everyday they would get passed by a bicyclist at such speeds :shock: Norman

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    Hey All! That's a good idea with the U-Bolt clamp ElementX but will it give enough surface friction to remain steady and not shift around? I heard these motors can torque themselves lose easily if not cranked down hard. JEB, thanks for the tip on the freewheel bearings. Gonna give it some...

    Downtube-Cyclone 1200 Build

    Hey All! Join me on my virgin voyage to converting my first Ebike project. I'm a total Noob to this so after much reading and some PM's with a few fine and helpful folks here on ES, I pulled the trigger and bought a Cyclone kit. First, we start off with my customized Downtube FS9 folding...

    Actually if you go to their site http://www.cyclone-tw.com/dc24.htm you can scroll half way down to see the picture of the Dual 1000watt kit and there are two controllers. If I was nutz enuff I woulda picked that one instead of the 1200watt kit I have coming... :twisted: Cheers, Norman

    DownTube Folders Mods, Pics, and Vids

    Hi ngocthach1130 and thank you for the suggestion. I'm partial to a setup like cyclone as it will allow for the use of my hub gears. My research is still premature but I might change my mind or find something better. If by chance you can describe more details of the challenges of the Cyclone...

    DownTube Folders Mods, Pics, and Vids

    Hey All. Brand spanking new to Endless-Sphere.com and came across this posting about Downtubes Mods. I thought I'd share my DT mods I've done last year during a long winter of staring at it. I hope to learn a bit of everyone here so that I may move forward to converting my ride to electric...
