GT Avalanche + Puma V3 - my commuter bike

25280624082_large.jpg


GT Force + Cute 128 - for my girlfriend and not finished yet...

and not really a GT ( i resprayed it white and had some GT and FOX decals left) + another Puma

running them with a 16Ah 48V Konion pack in an Axio hardpack or a small 3,2 Ah Konion pack in a saddlebag for short trips

I like the look of that bike, good job on the build.

I hope you are not using just that cable lock in the picture to lock it up. Good looking bikes attract thieves as well as everyone else.

i´m glad here in Austria it´s not sooo bad (yet) and i can still leave my mx-5 with the top down for a week with nothing missing. of course i wouldn´t leave the bike outside at night and the two more expensive bikes have thicker cables lock.


@zelectric
what´s your range and top speed @48 Volt with that small motor? looks a bit like a Cute. i don´t know how fast mine is. i can´t mount a speedo on the upsidedown fork and i don´t want an extra wire from the back wheel to the front..

the Force is actually for my girlfriend but somehow i like it best and i´m now thinking about getting another Puma for it.... if i can find a small controller strong enough for the Puma. i don´t want to put a big ugly controller on that small S-size frame
 
some more Pics of the Fake GT.

also the fork is just a cheap Zoom CH1100 it does a great job - i´d never take it for extreme offroading anyway. i don´t trust these motor axles...

got an extra wide bar - i think it´s ~70-72cm. improves handling a lot
since it has a single 44T chainwheel i found it easiest to move the thumb throttle to the left.

for the Force and Avalanche i bought Shimano´s Dual Control levers. even better to use with a thumb throttle.

the small 3,2 Ah 48V 20C Konion pack is doing great - let´s see how long it´ll survive these high C-rates

now that i´ve been using the heavy 8kg 16 AH Konion backpack for so long time short trips with this small saddle bag feel completely different
 
since my girfriend was not so happy carrying a 52 pound bike down the stairs she had enough of eBikes and i bought her a Specialized Rockhopper 29er and the Force is mine again. now fitted with Super Motos a 72cm bar, 38A 48V it does 66km/h with pedaling. no PAS anymore only thumbthrottle so i could get rid of a lot of cables and could hide all the connectors under that white "hood" made of polystyrol

25280624129_large.jpg



redesigned the Avalanche and made saddlebags for the two bigger 8.2Ah Konion packs

25280624121_large.jpg


only a small 350w controller which is hiding in that Isostar bottle with a lot of holes at the bottom and the top and a frame bag to put in the two other battery packs in case i need 920 Wh but at typical speed on a long trip i need 2.7 wh/km so that would be 340 km so i guess 1 pack is enough :D

Very well carried out. They look incredibly good, and I think they have a thoroughly good style.
Especially like the big tires together with the big shock.
It is very possible that I'm going to buy the same shock Do you think they are good quality, or is it just some Chinese waste?

I assume you bought them from Germany? Are you from there?
 
Hi!

these Zoom Forks look nice but i wouldn´t want to take them offroad. the white one is not so bad. they both don´t have lockout but the black one doesn´t even have adjustable rebound. the white one does and that makes it a lot better but even at it´s stiffest preload setting i think it´s too soft if you´re a heavy guy. luckily i´m 1 meter 86 and only weighing 72kg so no problem for me.

however i´ll surely keep the white one but i´ll try to find a used Boxxer or similar to replace the black one.

and yes, i bought them from Germany but i´m here in the middle of Austria
 
bought a used BOXXER for my new bike and bought some new forks, sprayed them white and put some fox decals on to replace the up-side-down forks.

almost all parts here for the new bike - sadly i had to send the frame back as it had a dent in the head tube and i couldn´t get the headset in. hoping to get the new frame within the nex week. this time i´m trying a small light geared hubmotor to keep the bike below 17 maybe 18kg

and during winter i´ll take two of the other bikes apart to get them a good paint job - not sure about the colours yet...
