    36v and 72v power ranger ebike

    Would it give you more throttle finesse at the lower speed setting though, or would it still jump from off to on, just at a lower max output?

    36v and 72v power ranger ebike

    What about adding a three speed switch to the 72V setup for lower speed cruising?

    Dual "fast wind" mini-motor build

    motomech, I enjoy your posts so I opened this thread for the first time. I'm a noob and haven't read much about 2WD bikes yet, but I had a thought (dangerous!) after reading through this. I wonder what would the performance be like if you went back to a 26" tire on the front? How would the...

    Width of Cellman's 52v 11.5Ah triangle battery?

    Thanks for all the info on the battery. Does Paul include a charger with it too, or do you have to buy one separately?

    Safety Gear

    I dumped my bike a week and a half ago going about 25 mph. I just had shorts, t-shirt, and helmet on, so I got some bad road rash and bruises. I remember the sound of the helmet scraping across the concrete as I slid and thinking I was glad that wasn't the side of my head instead. The helmet...

    Width of Cellman's 52v 11.5Ah triangle battery?

    I was curious about this too, and also the weight since I didn't see either listed on the product page. http://www.emissions-free.com/catalog/i29.html

    [1]Walmart in-store ezip trailz, $298 [2], parts list?

    Bah, I'm even more annoyed with the handling on my ezip. I set off Friday morning planning to ride all the way to and from work (18 miles each way). Tried a new route, went down a hill, around a turn, and ended up crashing while trying to avoid a jogger. 25 mph and then hit the concrete...

    EZip - IZip 20mph Upgrade $20!

    Replies to your questions: Yep! It's much harder to spin than the new freewheel. It has the "C". Pretty close, but not perfect. I might try bending the bracket, but it's probably ok as-is. I need to adjust the motor mounting plate a little so that the chain is tighter. No, the shifter is...

    [1]Walmart in-store ezip trailz, $298 [2], parts list?

    I've been riding my eZip Trailz for a short while and it really makes me want to convert my mountain bike instead. I like the overall idea, but I want more power, more speed, more range, less weight, and better weight distribution. Of course all of that costs more $$$. I put the single...

    EZip - IZip 20mph Upgrade $20!

    OK, I successfully completed this mod last night! Thank you for all the great info, DrkAngel! I rode to work this morning and was running at 18-19 mph on the flats with just the motor. I'm going to try riding all the way home (17 miles) today if it doesn't rain. I took a bunch of photos...

    EZip - IZip 20mph Upgrade $20!

    Great post! I ordered the 16T freewheel and I'm getting ready to mod my eZip Trailz. Unfortunately I couldn't find the chain link kit at the local bike shop and had to order one online, so I'm waiting for parts again. I'll try to take some pictures along the way to add to this thread. I'm a...

    Input requested on newbie build with Trek 820

    Hmm, I hadn't seen the note about no motorized bikes on the train. I've been riding the train for 5 years but I hate taking my bike on it because I have to stand and hold it the whole time. I'd rather sit and read a book. That's why I end up driving to the station, riding the train, and then...

    Input requested on newbie build with Trek 820

    Good point, I have seen a few 15mph signs, but I was doing about 15mph on my eZip and getting passed by lots of lycras. There are some tighter sections with less visibility where I would definitely slow it down, but in the long straights with no traffic it would be fine to go 20-25mph. I've...

    Input requested on newbie build with Trek 820

    Do I really need the motor cutoff on both brake levers? I never brake with just the front, so it seems like I could leave the combo shifter/brake alone on the left, put the e-brake lever on the right and just buy 1 new shifter. I wonder if the eBay kit would work with a different freewheel...

    Input requested on newbie build with Trek 820

    Wow, lots of great feedback and info to chew on here, thanks! 1. Everybody pretty much confirmed my thought that I want a 48V 15ah battery from Ping for my application. I think that and a Falcon EV bag are pretty much settled. 2. Motomech, that eBay kit actually looks pretty good - especially...

    Input requested on newbie build with Trek 820

    First of all, I'm so glad I found this site instead of just buying some crappy kit on eBay! I've been reading the FAQ links, doing searches, and reading lots of threads. It really has me excited about converting my bike. I have some general direction, but I could use some more guidance. My...
