Custom RC Motored Cruiser..FINISHED!!!....
for now :?
I put some finishing touches on the bike today
before wheeling it outside for some final
pics, unfortunately I haven't been able to get
video i shall ad it to this post in coming days
its a long weekend in Australia for ANZAC day
was impossible to get two mates together at
same time unfortunately so hopefully i'll have some
luck tomorrow..
Anyhoot...Aside for a few modifications discussed in the
worklog previously the bike is now finished-->
There are a few things i have to still take care of
the sprockets for the manual drive will be chrome plated
the rear mudguard (
not on bike) is also to be re-chromed
(I have 'bobbed it also tiz now ~1/2 the size it was previously..)
the powdercoat on the tow hitch needs attaching but
i wanted pics without it first, it also needs a slight 'tweaking'
the powdercoat has pushed it out somewhat on the mounting and it
eeeever so slightly ribs on the tire.
I would like to thank a few people that have made
this build possible, first and foremost
Matt Shumaker (
Mr Recumpence SiR) for both his financial support
and generous donation of parts for
this build, he has made it possible for all to get an rc motor
onto a e-bike with beautifully made reduction
drives... Matt, you're in my opinion one of the most influential
people in the technological advancement of this hobby,
thank you mate i am in your debut
Mr
GGoodrum for the
boards installed and for those that will be installed
in the very near future along with your latest BMS, thank
you Gary you have made it alot easier for not only me
but other noobs to use Lithium Polymer batteries with
more confidence and ease.
Matt Parks (1000w) Without Matt this build
would have been a very very hard struggle for me,
thankyou for your continued generosity of parts and time mate
it is greatly appreciated I hope i can repay this kind
in the near future
enoob Thankyou for your advice and
donation of parts and 'items' (
that will remain a lil
secret for now hehe) cheers mate much appreciated..
There has been a plethora of people that have
contributed to this build over the last 72 pages, the
same familiar names have always been ready to jump
in to offer their expertise In particular BIG thanks must got
to:-
Hyena, Miles, Jeremy Harris, Amberwolf, Thud,
GWhy, my Canadian buddy
Frank G, dontsendbubbamail, Burtie, etard, spinningmagnets,
TPA, Grinhill, gtadmin, rodgah, Timma,
Carvin' Marvin, johnrobholmes & YPedal MaN...
Apologies if I have missed any of the regular contributors.
I appreciate your continued interest over this rather
lengthy process, i wish you well now and in the future
with your own projects and hope you might take a
little something from these pages...
I shall return in time with both the video and
upgrades when parts become available...till then
this is my take on 2 wheel electric bicycle ...
thankyou all for helping make it possible.

Can't wait to see your next build, you gotta put a new twist on it, maybe throw some wrenches and get mad like big Paul would on OCC. Actually I'm sure you did a little of that during the electronics phase of the build. :lol:
