Holy hell! That's some nice hardware!

[scorpi00n]

Hey guys!
Just like to say Hi! as this is my first post

Ive recently purchased a kit from hyena and thought id put up a photo of what ive done with it..

The battery pack and charger is in the bag which I simply connect to the controller when im on the bike
I still need to get a saddle bag which I will attach to the seat so I can hid the controller.

HI guys,

Well, after much procrastination , I finally got around to posting my build. If you'll recall, I was starting out with an old 1985 CCM 6-speed mountain bike which had been sitting in a shed for about 15 years. So, without further ado, here she is:




Before:














After:








It's a rear 9C kit powered by a 48V Lithium-Polymer pack carried on the rear rack. I could have mounted a large pack within the frame triangle, but since I have to carry the bike up and down a 4 step stoop, I needed the pack to be removable so I would be able to lift the bike. After replacing the tires, adding a new chain, brake pads (I also checked the brake levers with a magnet and it turns out they ARE metal, coated in black plastic) and hubs (the bearings were shot), I replaced the old aluminum rack with a stronger steel one and added fenders. The performance is amazing! Very torquey, and I've had the bike up to 43 Km/h. I ordered the kit through Ypedal from Ebikes.ca. He also helped me with the installation and setup. He even built my battery pack for me.

Thanks Ypedal...couldn't have done it without you, man!

Good stuff !! you finally made it here !! .. and thx again for the complimentary 6pack today.. it's cooling in the fridge waiting for it's glory day !

If anyone here has a spare set of cranks for a vintage square taper bottom bracket.. this bike needs a new set. the crank arms are bent making pedaling a real whopper of a time.. pedals are also not the best.. the entire cranks, pedals and BB need overhauling if you happen to have an old scrapper gathering rust .. open invite to take them off your hands !!

[bdc43]

Well, I finally found a replacement crankset at the local bike shop....a little shorter than the originals ( I think something like 160 mm instead of 165). I just hope they'll fit. Should find out this weekend (they're calling for rain so it'll be a perfect time to do some work on the old bike). Can't wait to go for a test ride....I just hope the bottom bracket is still holding up. I had enough trouble finding a set of cranks, I can just imagine what a bottom bracket's gonna be like...Sheesh!

Started out as a GT Outpost Trail, circa 1995 (?).

Built as an ebike, with details in this post: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34039


And now rebuilt with 12s6p:

Smudger,
Nice build. Like how the rear brake rotor matches the hub size. Great choice of battery/hub/bike

BeOne Cikara 29er 2007

Now with Crystalyte G rear hub and 48V14AH LiFePO4 battery.


Speed on flat without pedals ~37 kmh, with pedals up to 52, Range on asphalted roads ~60km. Weight 26kg.

First version, 2003 Rocky Mountain Edge X-country bike[but with jumper fork],MXUS geared mini-motor, 48 Volt 8aAh " rack battery", "Stand Alone" Cycle Analyst, Cycle Lumenator.Tiny stock controller was hidden under the seat. Pretty much "plug and play". Only the frt motor fitment took some time. Top speed, no wind, no pedal is 24 mph. Jives well with my stubby legs and the Edge's stock 11/44 gearing.

Changed over to "Lipo in the bag". The Lyen senorless "Mini-Monster" 23 Amp controller first went in the frame bag, but got a little hot for my liking, so I drapped it over into the bag's mesh side pocket. A piece of intertube covers the connectors and the shiney controller is wrapped in a piece of speaker grill cloth.

I thought I would try Lyen's custom left-side half-twist throttle. Two thumbs up![thumbs are happy, no more pushing or pulling ] Note "hair tie"parking brake. Looking for thick O-ring to go between half throttle and grip to serve as crude cruise control[All the old timey auto parts stores are gone for my area ]. Several attemps to install a stand have proved fruitless, just no way to attach anything.

Standard automotive 30 Amp toggle for power. EV Falcon bags have "button-hole"[slit]openings at both ends for convience. EV Falcon bags are awesome!

I don't go fast or far, just tool around in the 10 to 20 mph range, so I don't need much of a pack. Just a simple 12S1p 5000 mAh. At bicycle speeds I get at least 3 miles per Ah. Since the frame bag is not stuffed with Lipo, I carry my lock, poncho, tool kit, etc in the frt. half. If I need a more range, I have another 12S1P pack that I carry in the otherwise empty tail bag. I lost 1 mph top speed going from 48V Li-Mn to 44.4V Lipo.

Going from a 17A controller to a 23A model makes throttle control and frt. tire traction an ever present concern. The throttle can be abrupt[I may limit current with the CA] and the 900 or so Watts is about the limit of what I think is relalistic for a frt. mount on a MTB with a skinny road tire. On any surface other than dry pavement, it really wants to spin.
So..,to address those traction issues,... I've started work on version 2.0 + 2.0

I have a Catrike Expedition (Candy Purple). Started out with Scwalbe Marathon Racers, SRAM Rival 10 speed groupo, TT500 thumb shifters, GXP bottom bracket, Truvative Elita 165 mm cranks 28/39/52T Truvative chainrings.

I added a GM 48V hubmotor, Stand Alone CA, 7 speed gear cluster (11/32T) SRAM 7.0 Grip Shifters and a 48V 48Ah 30C Lipo battery, Krispysteve neck rest, Axiom bags all a round.Next week it will get a tinted Windrap XT fairing and Catrike side bags, to hide the controller in, instead of the top bag, which will go away to improve the aero of the ride. Also a custom made 45 in. flag to give the cages a bit of warning.

Build Number 4

We bought this FS bike for my son's 10 birthday 9 years ago. He now drives a VW Jetta diesel.
I asked him if I could ELECTRIFY his bicycle. He smiled and said: "Sure!"

FS Hoolagan Supercycle 26" Mountain bike
9C 2810 DD Hub Motor
89.6v nominal 28S1P Headway 38120HP with 0.25 T6 Aluminum busbars with stock Headway busbars stacked on top
C7225 Controller (running at 30amps)
CA-DP V2.23
Twist Throttle 1/2 length

This bike handles very well. Max speed so far is 40mph/64kph and can sustain 34mph/55kph up a grade with headwind
The Aluminum frame seems to have good rigidity with triangles in all the right spots and the rear swing arm is steel



Steel Swing Arm


C7225 mounted up in the triple tree (triple clamp) for good cooling

Dude, that Catrike is awesome! I got a Catrike too, but not electrified. Yours must be fun! Here's a project I'd been working on. My project probably doesn't count since it was electric to begin with, but I've added a few mods today that I thought I'd share with the group.

BEFORE: Sharper Image Razor mini foldable escooter


AFTER: Mods include license plate, rear light, headlight, 24v to 36v system, SLA battery to LiFePo4 battery, variable throttle, bell, water bottle cage mount, folding handlebar mirror, handlebar LED light, and LED strip.
The lights are pure white, but for some reason the camera captures it with a blue hue.

This is teh bike I'm using for the Fusin 1000W geared motor review/test.
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39877

It started as just a Diamondback Coil FS frame from Mdd0127, with a simple rear spring shock (cant' remmeber what damping it has).


Plus an old needs-rebuild Manitou Skareb fork off a frankenbike I got for next to nothing a while back, which I've proposed various uses for but not actually used at all, until now.


This is the first pre-motor test ride configuration.




Then the first motorized variation.


Quickly filled out to "full kit" for commuting to work:






Note that the mirror folds for leaning against things:





Now the "real" motorcycle-class taillight and turn signals/markers are added, in a very quick and dirty job last night. Plus a temporarily-mounted car headlight, because the nicer-looking motorcycle one I'd intended to use was burned out. Plus changing to a 26" front so I can use the front rim brakes till I get the disc mount built, then can go to 24" again.






Still quite a ways to go, especially for polish, but I figure the first hundred miles are going to need a LOT of reconfiguration to get it where I want it, so no point in making it pretty yet.

[Jason27]

I love that recumbent trike.. Great work !!

[Venus]

Nothing too cosmic, but I haven't seen any other Hoolies electrified.

HS3548
Lyen 12 fet
14s3p 15Ah Turnigy 20C
2x ebikes.ca torque arms
DB15 balancing plug

Currently running 45A Bat 110A phase. Bike is very wheelie prone if I don't use the 3 speed switch at low speeds. Tops at 62 kmh on the GPS.

Gets some crazy looks everywhere I go!

[SamTexas]

Venus, that's a beautiful bike, especially the battery box. How did you make it?

+1 looks clean!

[voicecoils]

Awesome Venus, I've wanted a Hooligan for a while. Wheelie machine?

You've got the battery weight in a nice spot.
