Still slowly working on my Ebike project. Was able to build a hidden throttle that tucks into my left side Shimano 105 brifter. The bike is currently a single speed so I don't use the shifter anyway. I could have put it on the right side but I might put the rear derailleur back on at some point...

So I've been wanting to build an E-Assist bike for some time now. I commute nearly 40 miles a day and the bike route is rather enjoyable if the conditions are pleasant, which in the midwest can be iffy. Sometimes I get lucky and can ride a south wind to work and north wind home but that doesn't...

so, after seeing Kepler's success with super light electric assist bikes I thought it would be the perfect way to turn an 18 mile(one way) commute into something I could do more regularly. My problem is the BB30 bottom bracket on my Allez Sprint isn't super compatible with the friction drive...

I just had a sad realization. The bike i ordered to make this work has a bb386evo bottom bracket. Anybody that watches this thread know of a conversion option? The bike is a diverge carbon comp. I got a decent deal and the bigger tires seemed like a good option. Also has bottle attachments on...

Is there something that exists that splits the cassette into 2 different units that freewheel independently? I'm new to ebikes and cant think of whatever that might be called. Thanks.

Mine isn't an ebike yet but you're free to use the picture however you want. Could send you a better resolution picture if needed.

Love all your cargo bike builds! This is mine from last fall. No welding. I tapped the crank spindle of the add-on swingarm and bolted it directly into the dropouts. Aluminum square tube bolted to the shock mount and then bolted to a child's tag-along attachment. Works a treat. The two racks...

I guess if I used a trailer for the battery I could use a 48 volt module(that I already have)and then I could use a common motor and controller. I could then get a smaller 48 volt battery in the future and have one for more short rides and the 2kw pack for long rides or hauling cargo in the...

Mud doesn't happen on my paved commute and the lightweight nature of the Kepler and being able to disengage it entirely means the bike could still be rideable if the drive is slipping. I didn't mention looks at all. "Too ebikey" has more to do with weight in all the wrong spots and crap...

That kepler drive seems like it might make the most sense. Enough power to make the 19 mile trip to work easy and not too "ebikey" to interfere with the 19 mile interval workout on the way home.

I'm looking at building a pusher trailer like the Cyclebully by Atomic zombie. I have a 19 mile commute in one direction and I could charge when I get to work. I didn't see many options for 24 volts but I already have a 1KW battery from a Chevy Volt that is 24 volts so I'd like to use that if...

I just found this and think it would be a great platform for a mid drive ebike. I cannot ID it though to try to locate some parts such as brakes or cables.
