    GNG, 1000W 48V BB-drive, $400

    If I can break in to the discussion if I may. Have a vintage fat tired bike with a sidecar and I'm using a ezee hub motor with a 36V ezee poly battery and it doesn't have the ability to push the 375 pounds with me on it so I have it on a regular bike. My question is, will this mid drive have the...

    I'm looking for Dealers that take Credit Cards - NOT PAYPAL

    One thing that didn't sound right to me was when he said he called ebikes.ca and they didn't know what length a cable was. I live 25 miles away so I don't call, I go up but if you want to know something about a product if they don't know they will go and check because they have done it for me...

    I'm looking for Dealers that take Credit Cards - NOT PAYPAL

    I just read the posts from Zippy the Chump. If his business does seven figures as he claims, he must have some dynamite employees because with his attitude he wouldn't still be in business. Someone with a business that size wouldn't be here asking for someone who takes credit cards. He have the...

    Excellent guarantee from Grin

As a first time builder I was more than thankfull for all the information not to mentioned impressed. They are...

    Gas Prices Rising Fast

    When this thread drifts back to gas prices just want to note that we buy gas in liters in Canada and in the Vancouver area its about a $1.36 a liter at the moment. Oh and to add my thoughts to the current arguement. Oil is sold on a world market for a world wide price set by speculators on the...

    Apologies to CELL_MAN - I'm an impatient customer

    The term Frock is British for a dress so the term Frock Motor means that it is not up to being as manly as a stand alone motor. Steve.

    Gone In 60 Seconds - The Bike Crime Wave

    Bobc, we were just talking about that but then a sharp spike with a spring behind it would work and no noise. Just some guy rolling around on the road screaming. Buy a few hot bikes, fit them up and no one ties them to you. Locking the front wheel up as they ride off would work too, if you...

    Hub Motors

    Thanks everyone. Just got photos of the trike and it's a mobility scooter. The best part was it was in the motorcycle section of Craigs List. I live in Vancouver, Canada better known here as Hongcouver. We are exposed to fine Asian quality every day. Steve.

    Hub Motors

    Fella has a trike on Craigs List with a 48V hub motor called a Zhang Shen. Can't find it anywhere with that name. Is it a good brand or not if he spelled it correctly? Trike is $300 but no battery charger. Says it runs but........ Would like to be armed with some knowledge when I talk to him...

    Grim News on the Oil Front!

    I had a gas station in the early 70's and the gas was 39.9 a gal {in Canada}. The company said jack it up to 42.9 and all business stopped because the station down the road was still at 39.9. One day the company saleman stopped in and when i told him about it, he just laughed and said some day...

    A Power Sidecar?

    Here is the sidecar I put on my 1952 Monark. http://s866.photobucket.com/home/speedydick/index The first photos are when I changed the two point tilt mounting to a solid 3 point mounting. The reason being that the sidecar pulled on the mount and it was a constant battle to hold it upright,also...

    Got to throw my vote in for Justin and the crew at ebikes.ca. First time I needed advise about building my bike I posted the question at 9:30 pm. At ten minutes to ten I had an answer. We e-mailed back and forth for almost an hour even though I said tomorrow was good for me. Justin just wanted...

    Turnigy HXT Powered Custom Cruiser Worklog

    Kim, saw you were asking about motoredbikes.com some posts ago. Isn't the same now your gone. Lots of chat about the climate and our new resident expert was on the past 2 days with charts at full flag. You may have heard of Dr. Safe. The electric part has pretty much gone dormant since you...

    Have money in hand Ready to Buy

    Thanks dogman. I'll call ebikes.ca since they are 35 miles north of us and then Ping for the battery. I'll probably hate myself for it but when the fellas on the other bike sites are worrying about the cops grabbing them and thier bikes I will take fiendish joy in pointing out that if they had...

    Have money in hand Ready to Buy

    Thanks dogman. You folks have been a great help. I did see your evaluations but now I better understand what I'm looking for. I'll most definately send pictures. I think the idea of pedaling as I go is the answer. One more question if I may. I've read that the batteries will burn. What sets this...

    Have money in hand Ready to Buy

    Re side car Thanks dogman. 20 mile range at 20 miles an hour would be great. I am supposed to pedal this bike as much as possible but the doctor is more enthusiastic about that than I am. I picked the Monark because of 40 years of antique furniture refinishing. I tend to trust old, made in...

    Thoughts on a Bion-x 350. Price is scary but I'm not into trying to check out 2 or 3 set ups and spend the same money. Steve.
