I was not interested in the bike to convert to a gas bike. The phatmoto gas bike was mentioned because of its similar frame.

already sold =(

Not yet. I am waiiting to hear back from the seller again. I'm interested in the "red" bike.

The second bike definitely looks like a phatmoto with its gas tank frame. One difference, though, is this frame is missing the disc brake mount inside the rear triangle that phatmoto uses

wow, I looked up the Etek motor. That thing is no joke. It is/was selling for $450. The necessary "3 Phase 8 Pole PMAC controller" isn't cheap.

The lettering is not the usual cursive, so we can't match it to your cursive example. The letter "r" is pretty clear on the bike, but that's not the usual way to write a cursive "r". My best guess is "Carlani" but googling for that comes up with nothing.

It looks like the rear needs a disc brake mount welded on; neither frame looks to have mounts. The 2nd bike has a motor that looks more suitable for a motorcycle or scooter. I wish I could make out the name on the frame. The curly letters on the red plate is hard to read. It's a shame that the...

The seller also has this bike for sale. He said the bikes came from a friend who passed away. Having two bikes with the same uncommon frame is hopefully indication that these didn't come from a bad source.

Saw this on FB Marketplace for $100. Would you take a gamble for a $100? From the size of the controller, it might be a beefy motor. Even if all the motor parts are duds, the frame looks neat, and I can just put my 9c motor and controller on there.

Thanks for the detective work. A hard pass on this one!

This "motorcycle with batteries" is for sale locally. It looks like there are 5 SLA batteries, so I'm guessing it's 60V? If the controller were 15A to 20A, then would this be around a 1000W motor? For such a relic, would anything be useful on it? frame, rear motor? It's only $50 ;)

A local seller has the "Street" model (https://pedalelectric.com/products/street) bike for sale in unworking condition. I looked at the photos, and it's missing an LCD, which could be the only problem or just the beginning. Are LCD's usually interchangeable? The bike frame looks identical to...

I also have a folding bike. Thank you for that mockup of a kickstand mount. Do you think a steel corner bracket would be stiff enough to mount the drive bracket?

The wrong one is the one I posted. It has the larger pins in the middle. I think those ebay ones look right, however, I opted for one on Amazon that already has connectors on the other side.

heh, bought a board with 2 hub motors for $20 last night when I went to buy something else from craigslist. So, I started doing research, and I am wondering what differences I might notice in a cheap $70 dual controller vs a more expensive one. Also, is there any way to ID the hub motors? The...
