Hi guys,
following the results of my first electric bike (http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=35694), I'm starting a new improved build.
I'm moving to Trento (italy), it's an alpine city, so I need a bike capable of some good offroad.
As always, my budget is really low, so I'll not use DH components, not many expensive machinings and so on, I'll try to keep it as much homemade as I can.
The main components:
- C80-100 rewinded engine
- Turnigy dlux 160HV controller
- LiPO 12s cells
- Custom throttle interface
- Dirtbike 35mm USD front fork
- Rear shock not chosen yet
- Dirtbike Racetech handlebar
- 26" wheels
The frame is inspired by the awesome work Ratking made with his downhill bike.
Like my first build, I'll use just one final chain to the wheel, combining pedals and motor power on a main shaft. I'll then use a 2 or 3 gears sequential transmission for both pedals and motor.
here a quick concept video, there are many things missing yet:

suggestions are really welcome!
