Timma,
any chance you can re-upload the pics of the building process (from the first page)? Unfortunately, those are no more accessible. Thanks.

Thanks guys

Hey all, i ended up getting the frame powdercoated pearl white a few days ago. I resprayed the swingarm parts black with a spray can as i didn't want to have to take the bearings out - i'd have destroyed them if i'd tried as their well and truly stuck in there. No drama though as the spray job turned out ok, just won't be as durable.

I'm in the process of putting it back together as i take these pics. I also made a 3mm carbon fibre battery cover just for the wank factor plus to save a little weight. Some blue aluminium bolts and some titanium bolts are on the way to tiz it up a little too :wink:

Yesterday i spent most of the day making some carbonfibre motor spacers which no-one will end up seeing, why i do things like that i dunno! Saves more weight over the aluminium ones i was using... (thats my excuse and i'm stickin' with it lol)

On a brighter note and the boys above might be happy to know but i will probably have my own workshop soon. This means frames Yes i've had a change of heart, not gunna worry what people say, stuff 'em!

I will be looking around for good 2nd hand frames to convert like this as well as offering one - offs for people who already have frames they'd like converted.
Kona Stinky comes to mind :wink:

Production frames are back on the drawing board also, in 2 guises - moto and enduro.
Moto will be similar to this and my Norco, slim frames capable of holding 12s 15ah of Lipo, maybe 20ah if used with a hub motor.
Enduro will have a larger battery capacity, probably around 30ah+.
More on this later


Paul

[Whiplash]

WOW, LOVE IT Paul! Glad to hear ya gonna do the frames! Never let anybody BS you into thinking you don't know what you are doing! Its VERY Obvious that you do!

 

[Tom Tom]

Simply fantabulous

Any idea of the weight ready to ride?

 

[rodgah]

ezxxxellent paul how i love white powdercoat.


all it needs now is some ECHO trials cranks in black and the same carbon spaced chainring setup as your norco. whats your range out of the little cyclone for ?? ah?

Good on you Paul, doing what you're good at and not giving a rats ass about others who apparently know it all, is that mitsubishi pearl? nice colour, keep up the good work and maybe post vids of your stead in action

 

[Timma2500]

[boostjuice]

Your work would make stealth bikes jealous....

 

[Whiplash]

AGREED! I would CERTAINLY buy from you rather than pay a ton of money for a TANK!

 

[dingoEsride]

Awesome looking, pure class!

 

[Gordo]

Perfect! 8) Quit wankin' up and down hills with that other clown and convince him to build something other than motorized jewelry. But then carbon fibre spacers are are a close second to bling. Have you got Kim's welder dialed in for him? Or is he too shaky for it to matter?
I just knew you would do it. You proved me right; "Auzzie's never quit." Except to have another beer and a rest, while they pretendz to think things over.
Beautiful execution on the build. Good luck with your new shop.

LoL@ motorized jewelery....i'll take that as a compliment Should of added "non-working" in front of it for complete accuracy And Paul has more Bling than me heck he dropped a fortune at Pro-Bolt for ali
AND titanium bolts and look at the CF on there he out blings me my frame i ain't even painted mine and i haven't had a thing anodized (yet) nor do i have alumnium and titanium bolts (yet) And no, no go with the welder, i still have no wire or gas and no money to buy either so it sits collecting dust for now...as does my non working motorized jewelery;-P

p.s Paul still hasn't been able to get reliable internet access so his replies may be a little delayed. I spoke on phone with him yesterday might be seeing a 'stealth like' alumnium bike for another ES member from the Banana bending territory.

 

[Kepler]

Great work. The perfect light weight performance ebike package. Hats off to you.

 

[Timma2500]

[Kepler]

This frame has got a lot more potential then just a cyclone type build. This would so suit my spare 408 (sorry AJ) and 72V 12FET Lyen so well. Chuck in about 1kW/hrs of LiPo and you have a really handy package. So what's the story Paul, is this a one off or are you back in business

 

[Hyena]

The bikes looking very sweet now mate. It looked great in the flesh last week but those few finishing touches really complete it nicely. I'll have the video from the group ride up shortly.

Anyway, i'm off to eye-off some lathes and mills :wink:

Does this mean you finally got your car sold ?

We need to talk :wink:

 

[jk1]

Are you using the standard cyclone crank freewheel? how is that holding up to the 1200w motor ?

The crank freewheel doesn't see motor power transferred in a locked state, only pedal power.

 

[deecanio]

my fav build 8) 8)
once you get connection back Paul vid has to be a priority!!!
Im thinking you should offer frames up still, they're awesome, have looked at the pro bolt stuff previously myself, bitchin i reckon any chance of a specialised sx trail for me???????
Really interested to see how she runs show us the money!!!

I have some video of Pauls bike from the Perth group ride a few weeks ago.
Is not my usual short action clip, more just documenting the day so It's fairly long (about 12 minutes). I've just finished editing and it's uploading to youtube now.

edit: done

[AussieJester]

Excellent video Jay ...Nice editing, i see you managed to NoT eDiT out the
"fine tuning/adjustments" we made to my ride on route ;-P not surprising your GoPro
