Bluefang, that looks really impressive with nice retro styling. Can you give us a bit more detail about that front fork please? From one of your earlier threads I gathered that it came from a light motorcycle. What is the diameter of the mating neck tube?

Well done, KF

Hear is my 96volt machine. I've been riding the bike for 5 years now. Its always exciting though, when one gets a new battery. I pedal along at 35mph. 409 motor. battery contain 12 rc 7.2v nimh packs. good for 5-6 miles. marathon xr rear tire, hydraulic front brake, 48-11 gearing. And fenders, and basket, and mirror, and even lights. attachment=0]DSCF0007.JPG[/attachment]

Hey Kingfish, its a standard triple T fork from a chinese pitbike, the neck tube was same as the bikes been i think 1", i was able to reuse the bearings that came with the forks. I had to shorten the neck on the bike by like 10mm from 140mm to 130 to get it to fit ok. Its pretty heavy tho, i would say the forks alone are about 6kg or more with the wheel i used been over 10kg With brakes thats like 20kg just in the front end with the rest of the bike including motor weighing less then that

If i do it again for the look i think i ll just modify a push bike hub to fit rather then use motorbike stuff, its a 21" motorbike wheel. Its actually on ebay atm so i ll find out soon if people like the look of it, 7days left on the auction with 8 watchers and a large number of emails already You can get a fork setup for like $80 and the brakes would be under $100 for a twin piston 240mm disc too. So alot cheaper then normal bike stuff and a million times stronger, but alot heavier.

Something like http://www.pccmotor.com/inverted-forks-12quot-wheel-xr50-crf50-xr-crf-50-p12505050.html would be great, just relace the hub with a bicycle rim and your good to go.

First Ebike conversion. Had to do it cheaply and see if I like first. Runs on 14s Lipo and a cheapy Ebay conversion kit.

It ain't slick or fast but ...

 

[unklegrumpknee]

I don't really have before pictures. But here is what I put together and it's cost.


GT Palomar Purchased from the son of a friend. $100.00
Tune up of bike at LBS $100.00
Wilderness energy front hub motor , tire and rear rack $140.00
Crystalyte pedal first controller & Anderson connectors $120.00
& throttle (thumb)
48 volt 7.5 Amp-hr batteries Salvaged ( 2 sets) 0.00
new stop leak filled tube $10.00
Seat $20.00
Moose Zipperless Tank Saddlebags X2 (made for ATV's) $40.00
Charger 24v $20.00
Set of spokes $20.00
Spare GT bike non electrified $45.00
Mirror $10.00
Basket 0.00


Grand total Less some tool purchase $625.00




Comments : Used the battery bag that sat on top of rear rack at first. Found the Moose bags at an ATV shop. They have a Neoprene Harness which acts as a suspension. They lower the center of gravity as well and make the bike much more stable and comfortable to ride. So far around 100 miles or so. Everybody I let ride it comes back with a grin.


Thank you to all the members of this forum . I couldn't have done it without you.

I am proud of the fact that very little new material went into the cobbling together of this project. The motor was part of a kit that was cannabilized at the LBS. The bikes, controller, charger and batteries are used.

My CCM Build

Went to Canadian tire one day for a seat and ended up picking up a new CCM downhill Bike at half price. Added two Magic Pies and the battery is in the trailor. Some of the pictures still show the battery on the back before I moved it to the trailor. I added a second throttle to the right upright bar so I can operate it from either position. I also added a third brake lever to the left upright that operates regen plus the the rear disk brake. The two regular brake levers operate the front disk and the rear center pull brake. So yes, I have 3 brake levers and two throttles.

Sorry no before pictures but here is a link to the bike on the Canadian tire website so you can see what I started with

Hi, GMC

Thanks for displaying your intriguing 2-piece torque arms with your pics.

I can find the torque arm sets on your site, but I can't find the adapter piece that mounts the BOB NUTX about 2" aft of the axle out of the way. Do you sell pairs of these adapters also or are they custom? These adapters would allow a standard BOB bike connector fork to work with a 29er. They would also allow for a further aft pivot point which, I understand would make for a less squirrelly pusher trailer setup.

 

[Golden Motor Canada]

Hello Lemlux,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I wanted to wait until i had the time to take off one of my arms to show you what it looks like under the nut

Anyway, they are custom made. I made them from stainless steel. Originally I was going to make an oval hole that fit perfectly over the oval shapped GM axle. But this was to difficult so I just made a round axle hole. At first they used to slide down with the weight of the trailor. Then I the cut an angled notch in the bottom and the the GM lock nut fits in to hold it in place. Nothing moves now and they are strong and secure.

Gary

 

[Lemlux]

Nice touch with the notch and the GM nut.
