I didn't weigh it but my bike which is nearly the same weighs 22kg but has tripple clamp forks so that one should be a tad lighter.

Here is my bike.

Raleigh mountain bike with MAC 500W rear motor and Ping 48v 15Ah pack.

I made the fibreglass panels to hide all the workings. The charge port and on/off key are mounted on the left hand site in a recessed panel.

My Latest Ride....



Link to the build...

I really like the ride on this bike. Even though it has no suspension the fact I am not sitting directly over the rear wheel seems to smooth the ride out quite well. Instead of bouncing over bumps i feel like im rocking back and forth over them. I have recently added a second battery and now run two 48v10ah lifepo4 packs with room for a third.



I use this daily in my commute to work pulling my Bob trailor behind making the length of bike and trailor 12 feet long! I get 1200 peak and 1000 continous watts from my GM controller running my external Magic Pie. It is sufficient power for my 10 mile uphill ride to work. Of course my TRI-PIE is more powerfull but I am enjoying riding the tandom at the moment.



Winter is coming and so is the Magic Pie 3, so I am currently shopping for a bike for my next project. Either a nice chopper or a recumbent. I haven't decided yet.

It might just be the picture but your rear tire doesn't look quite centered there. ^_^ Perhaps just the angle but great looking bike.

I think its all just angles this picture look like its the other way.

You not the first one to mention this. Someone brought this up in another build thread a few bikes back. This one was a dual min motor build.

Ohhhh good work Gary !!!

So jealous.... You must have nearly worn a hole in that pocket of yours, or maybe there was a big one there the whole time lol

I'm sure that bike looks a treat


Lol, I just went to my inventory for stock. Everything always appears to be free there!

G'day, I've only had it running for a few weeks, so I haven't had a chance to do a dedicated distance run yet to work out it's mileage per charge, but the longest run so far has been 30 kilometres. I'm hoping to do a few runs this week to work that out. I'll let you know how I go.

Cheers

Before my Tomac 2002 model freeride been using as a daily commuter to work (PPL noW shared with BMC). Known Chandu for about 7 years now. Never needed a motor as Chatsworth is flat. Now I am in Mission Viejo and am 58. Need hill assist. Got hooked up with a V2T, 51V/15AH LifePO4. Ebike.sf set me up with a CA mod. Current set to 35amps. Only 2.5 miles to work so only need a 10ah for stealth. Big grins. 22mph up a 9% grade. Warm phase wires. Thanks guys for this forum. Free chargers at 43 volts, just open and reset to 54 volts using pot. Battery came to me at 54.6 so I set it there.

6 shooter

front V2T V4 Gears

50amp control, short wires

factory 43 volts (51 measured)

Crank it up.

Are your fork's dropouts alu or steel?

If alu, there could be a problem lurking there where the motor's torque spins the axle within the dropouts.

Dunno what the injury probability is, but the fork will be toast.

[CogHog]

Thanks Pete, Hard to see but I have dual torque arms (both sides). As the wheel spins forward the motor kicks back in the opposite direction so there are delrin blocks bolted to the arms and resting against the forks (tie wrapped). After my first ride today I understand why they are needed.

well I added the second block after this picture.

If you ever decide to use regen braking with that setup, you might want to reconsider how those are connected to your fork legs.

BMC's have those gears and free wheel clutch so the motor is idle as you fly down a hill. No regen. But noted if I ever go Golden. Need this BMC for the hills down here. Actually the gears are very quite. This would be the V4 blue gears and one piece freewheel clutch.

[kmxtornado]

I've been waiting awhile to post something here. A year ago I visited the forum to purchase an internal gear hub from a member for my recumbent trike. A month ago, I was gawking with a little bit of drool at all the cool bikes on this thread. I was wanting to upgrade my mini folding bike (in my avatar) earlier this year. Then I went to restoring my old bike a month ago only to put an e-kit on a different one. Thanks to all those who have helped me make my decision in purchasing the right kit for me. Here's me showing off all your hard work. The project's finally done (yet still hasn't been ridden) and here it is!

Larger and additional pics available on my blog (link in sig).

Before:
Stock Trek hybrid bike that had belonged to my sister. I think she rode this thing during college. It's at least 5 yrs old I think.


During:
The Hightekbike kit is on. The Mini-Mite motor in the rear drive wheel with all the new components from the kit on the handlebars. Wires still unplugged.


After:
Finally a battery rack was installed and the wires were hooked up. Slapped on a nifty front tire with color matching sidewalls to balance out the accented rear rack.

I figure its about time I added mine to the list, since its 'nearly' finished. I want to tidy up the battery cases, and possibly cover 'em in a few layers of glass, and tidy up the wiring too but for the most part she's done...

during...



And now...


now for the next project !!

Final battery case looks cool. Not a fan of the triangle look. Downhill frames are almost a must for a power bike. Yours looks Bitchin.

[hillzofvalp]

almost a must.. if you don't have 700c 2.35" Big apples.

[iperov]

have no before, but have after!
