Reworked bike frame & battery's picture

[diver]

I lengthen the frame of my bike, added more battery's and a fat tire on the rear. I now have two banks of 6 volt14 amp hour battery's to make 60 volts. thats a total of 20 6 volt battery's . The weight now is more on the front then before and now with the bigger back tires i hope it don't blow as easy as before. The bike runs 37 mph so i should be able to cruise at 20 mph for at least 50 miles i hope. Im not smart enough to figure this out by math , Im just guessing on the distance.

I made some changes to my front forks. I cut the back steel receivers off an old bike and welded them to a tube that would slide over the alu forks, also reversed the front brakes . Bike runs out nice. I just hope tires hold up. I need to get my wifes bike done now. I gave her the three wheeler , i just did not like it.

Fifty... zoiks.

Wheel-disks might compliment the flats of the sides. Better aero too. 8)

Interesting. What are the black side panels made of?

I like the way you reversed the stem. I thought of doing that just for kicks with my junk mountain bike and installing a semi-sissy bar and a backrest. This was before I knew of the Revive or hub kits.

Hi they are made of light alu.. Right now i have the honor of having the ugliest bike around.

I reversed the stem to make it easer on my shoulders for reaching out .

Wow, those are sum wild mods! I'd been thinking about adding some kind panels to encase batteries like that as well. However, I think I'd be very uncomformtable riding with my crotch just behind that 90degree wedge Do you have a plan to avoid being nutered if you have to slam into an opened card door or something?
