    Electric Vehicle Celebration Day July 9th

    Hi All Well tonight I attended the OEVA (Oregon Electric Vehicle Association) monthly meeting. Much of the discussion was about their up coming Electric Vehicle Celebration Day on July 9th at the Pioneer Courthouse Square. I asked if the local E-S guys could display our bikes at the event. I...

    Greenerwheels Cobra Redux

    Those of you Portland Locals that were lucky enough to go to the PSU Earthday Event got to see my Reinvented Cobra, but no one saw it run, mostly because I hadn't finished the rear axle mount, well today its done, well never done but ride-able. I wish I could have documented the build, but I...

    Specialized Hardrock entry level ebike

    I've been out of work for 6 weeks and I can see my projects coming to a stand still if I don't sell a few bikes to keep the other projects going, so to that end I built this bike up mostly from spares and bits laying around in the shop. Nothing particularly spectacular about the bike Atoema...

    Greenerwheels Giant Revive Ebike build

    Earlier this week I sold my actionbent jetstream, the buyer wasn't interested in the Ebikekit setup so I pulled off the hardware and returned it to its native state. So what to do with a 20" front hub motor? Well I have a Giant Revive that's been in the que for a conversion so I'll guess I'll...

    Share a picture of your workbench!

    I was uploading some pictures on Facebook and came across a picture of my bench after I cleaned it up, I don't remember it looking quite so organized. I thought I'd share it with everyone. I might even take the camera out a little later and snap another picture of what it looks like at the...

    KMX E Cobra

    Back in April I bought a KMX Cobra from FFR. Tommy treated me right and I got the trike very fast. Well right after I got it, my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and pretty much all activity stopped on the bike before it got started. My wife is doing much better now and I've finally gotten...

    fork axlelock design

    I broke this out from my recumbent build because I wanted to get specific reaction on my axlelock design. I've included some close up's of the fork I reworked. I think this is a safer solution than using a torque arm. I believe this could be integrated in a rear wheel design also. Feedback is...

    How many projects are too many?

    The boss asked me the other day if I ever finish any projects I start, I tried to explain, for me, its more of a learning experience than actually finishing a project, I suppose, but after 11 years of marriage , I guess that doesn't make much traction anymore, so I went out to the shop and...

    WAS: Some one tell me why I should not put a motor on this?

    I recently purchased an Actionbent Jetstream recumbent. It appears to have very few miles on it and I thought I would make a few mods and sell it to help facilitate buying my tad pole, but it keeps staring at me and I can hear say, "Put a motor on me" I've got a new 20 inch Nine Continent front...

    Is it me or are IEC connectors dangerous?

    Sometime ago when I built my first hub motor bike, I purchased an EBikekit.com battery pack, I had done some research on the standard IEC connector that was used. I didn't like it because of the amp rating on any one I could find was no greater than 15 amps. But something I didn't think of until...

    Troy-Bilt 20-Volt Lithium Ion Battery same as Yardworks?

    I was wondering if anyone else has seen the Troy-Bilt 20-Volt Lithium Ion Battery that comes with Troy-Bilt string trimmers currently offered at Lowes? I looks to me like a Yardworks battery in Red Plastic. I could get my wife to buy into it, if I could also use the batteries in various yard...

    After a month of researching, buying, returning, re-buying, cutting, bending, machining and welding (Getting laid-off does have some advantages.... don't ask my wife's opinion). My first Hubmotor powered ebike is done. And overall I'm pretty happy with it. JD's S-750 is a sweet frame and was...
