That's the most attention keeping e-bike video I've seen to date. It really makes it so much more interesting with a big group playing cat & mouse in such beautiful and dynamic setting. Perth waterfront looks niiiiice.
Wow, doesn't wide angle video make things look so much faster! What sort of top speeds were you each getting to on the long flat straights? It looks like 100kph sometimes, but I'm guessing it cant be more than 70ish? Somehow my little MD80 narrow angle camera makes 70kph look like a wimpy 30kph. Time to Go Pro methinks... Hyena, were you able to utilise the 3spd SA hub on Pauls bike, or was it broken? I couldn't detect gear shifting during the vid.
Great news on the frame business commitment Timma. Too much talent to go to waste because of a heat treat winge.
Intense Uzi's also seem to match your ideal frame donar criteria methinks:

Thanks. I was worried it'd get a bit boring because of it's length. I normally try to keep my videos to around 3-4 minutes as I know I myself loose interest after that. I wanted to include everything from the day though and as you say with a few riders it makes it interesting. I think if it was just 1 bike riding along it'd get bored watching it, even with the nice scenery. I'm jealous of the nice bike paths they have there in perth, there's nothing like that around where I am.boostjuice said:
I think my bike topped out around 50, Pauls is faster due to the gearing. I think previously he said it tops out around 70? His actually had 8 or 9 gears - using all the standard gears of the rear deraileur. I had a quick ride in the carpark but only got to use a few of the gears and didnt get up to high speeds. I'm not used to shifting the gears for the motor so it was a little akward and I missed the surge of power that you get from a high voltage hub that goes from 0 to top speed with a single twist, but I imagine the through-gear system would be fun once you've got the hang of it and obviously more efficient.
The gear shifts did sound good, like a F1 car almost. I did try to record it in a few spots but you couldn't make it out too well over the sound of my own bike. If only I had been on a hub powered bike I could have kept up with him as he accelerated and captured the sound of the motor and gear shifts

I had never really noticed them until i got into e-bikes but now
i do i am very pleased with the high standard i don't recal seeing a single pot hole the entire way? The bicycle paths i have found out now run all the way to Mandurah a small city 115km south of Perth, alot of this is along the coast too, unsure how far north it stretches? anyone? Can we get to Joondalup yet i wonder? I think a group ride along the coast would be pretty cool, especially in summer if you know whatz i mean teehhee, cruising through Cottesloe mid arvo in summer damn i think we might have a few accidents DEFINITELY get some good footage
Did you notice the condition of our roads here too Jay? most are of high standard (up my way anywayz) something again i hadn't paid a great deal of attention to in the past, now riding a rigid frame though i tend to keep an eye out for possible rim breaking holes.
As to the speeds, i wouldn't want to do alot more than 50 on the bike paths in alot of the areas, the run home from the causeway past the Casino was a nice rather straight stretch we wound the bikes
out on damn i wanna go for a ride now hahaa watched the
video 3 times today already Jay LoL Soon as my package is here from
Mr Recumpence I'm back on the road babee' :lol:

Awesome video guys.
How did you get the bike over to Perth????
(And with the videos, please ALWAYS remember to do a walkaround of the bike before or after - other than a stack that's the most interesting bit!)
Go easy on the Swans....they are the state emblem or something aren't they??

Oh man where is the camera when you need it, should have a go pro chip in fund for your fine creation

If you saw/heard this bike in action i doubt you would say that, its extremely quiet and
Paul gets fantastic efficiency only hub motor user's can dream about...
Great job mate, you didn't tell me about your metal brake you bought to
do your sheet metal bending!! When i asked on the phone "anything new buddy?"
you could of mentioned you cut the bike up and got some new machinery HAHAHA
To top it off its a freakin Hafco!! well know industrial machinery brand

Nice work mate, good to see some of the build progress after having seen the finished product.
I look forward to seeing what you've got cooking for these prominent ES members!

Awesome. Great to see you back in business.
I'll I can say is impressive. All the way around. Too bad you couldn't send a pick of what your doing to a small frame builder like Brent Foes or the like. I emailed a couple years back but pretty sure the insurance thing is what made it fall on deaf ears. Great work and keep the rubber side down.

Hi guys,
Old pics re-added to thread in 1st post now that ES is in Justin's safe hands
Bike still going great, absolutely no troubles with it after approx 1000kms hard dirt riding, mostly up and down steep-arse rock infested hills and soft sand tracks.
EDIT: apart from puffing my old 10ah lipo a few weeks ago after a killer ride
I'm now tempted to find out how to solder the shunt to raise it to about 3kw, 1.9kw just isn't quite enough :wink:
I'll also start a build thread soon for my next Cyclone build, a 2007 Intense M3 frame i picked up at a great price View attachment 1
In un-ebike related news, i'm hopefully picking up this sweet little fuel injected 2008 Husky TE250 with only 680 genuine kms (FIFO miner's bike) this week to go riding with my girlfriend when she gets her Yamaha 350 Raptor quad Fun riding times ahead
