I remember reading about a dirt bike wheelie record attempt in the 80's (?)... They rigged up some sort of electric motor to the front wheel to keep it spinning while it was in the air, I guess for stability?? I think they were trying to wheelie for quite a fair distance.

I run a MAC rear hub motor with a BB7 caliper. I just machined up a spacer. Could you do something similar? Here are a few pics.... http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33290&start=15

You could probably save a few kilos if you got rid of the excess gray tape

Nice work on the fibreglassing there. It looks very neat

I've had the same experience as most here - I ride my bike most days and there have been many times where I've been past the police and they don't have a problem with the bike at all. An unmarked car drove up along side of me one day when I was going about 35kph up a hill and once they saw...

G'day Ed, It's good to hear that your bike is going well too. I ended up getting a Cycle Analyst for it but I haven't had time to fit it yet, with the rainy weather here I might be able to get it done! I never depended on a bike before, but now that I use it everyday I really...

Hi Guys, The bike has just ticked over 2000kms so I thought that I would refresh the thread. It's basically been a trouble free run with it, I'm very happy with both the MAC motor and the Ping battery. The rear tyre is showing more wear on one side than the other. I think it...

G'day Ed, You've done a great job on getting it all together and running. I look forward to seeing a video or two of it! -Stu

G'day Ed, You have got it coming together really well. I like the padding that you made for the battery pack. I'm looking forward to seeing it up and running! -Stuart

I've been fitting a Turnigy watt meter to my bike over the last few weeks. I machined up an alloy cradle for it that supports the unit and it has another corresponding half that bolts on from the top to encase the meter. I'll get a photo or two of it in the next few days. -Stu

Looks good, what was your first build?

Check your PM Paul

My frame also didn't have provision for a rear disc, but the dropouts had a large, solid surface area so I made an adaptor plate.

G'day TR, Thanks for that, you are spot on - When I repainted it I wanted it to look a little bit more like a bike and less of something else from a distance! I just gave it a quick mask and spray job to see what it looked like, I'll probably redo it again at some point and...

G'day Tuna, I'm not sure if mine has a Cycle Analyst plug or not. I've taken a photo of the unused ones and perhaps someone else here might be able to confirm what they are. I think it may be the black one shown. You could also just send an email to Cell_man and I'm sure he'd...
