    Anyone Else Annoyed By BS Influencer E-bike Reviews?

    I know there are some really good e-bike reviewers on You Tube but they are greatly outnumbered by all the ride the bike one time and then sell it reviewers. There is so much misinformation being fed to consumers about e-bikes on YouTube. Does this bug anybody else?

    I just got an ebikekit battery

    I received this battery today, E-BikeKit™ 48v10ah LiFePO4 Lithium Electric Bike Battery. I was wondering if anyone else has used it? I haven't installed or used it yet but that'll be done tomorrow. This thing's huge for a 10ah battery. I'm glad I got the rack for it otherwise I'm not sure how...

    Couple of tricks I figured out.

    I had this problem with my rear wheels that no matter what kind of rim liner I used my tubes would slip and the stem would shear off. I finally fixed this by using 100 lb double sided Loctite wall mounting tape. I wrapped the rim, put the rim liner in, tube and tire and no more slipping tube...

    Weird question

    Will a rear hub with a thread for a single speed freewheel fit in the front fork of a mountain bike with front suspension? I want to do a front wheel motor mount with a Currie style motor.

    innovative hub motor design epiphany.

    Okay let me explain. We all know how much of a pain in the butt hub motors and broken spokes can be. Well I think I've hit upon a solution. Why not thread the hub motor into a mag rim? Instead of eyelets on the hub for the spokes, make it a solid thick piece of metal and thread the top of it...

    I love it when my brain works.

    I bought one of these, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZTLYOE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I mounted it on my rear wheel. I attached my Currie style motor that has its own freewheel to my rear wheel. My motor chain lined up perfectly. Now I have a rear motor again and quick...

    Currie carriers are awesome.

    I just gave my cousin, who is about 150 lbs, a ride to an appointment. She was sitting on the carrier on the back of my bike and it held up great. She had her whole weight on it too because she had her feet resting on the mounts for the battery packs. We were also towing my touring trailer...

    Interesting seller on Amazon

    I found an interesting battery seller on Amazon. If you just do a general search under "all" for "ePowerEngine", you get a huge listing of different varying battery packs for a lot of different uses. I know some of you guys break power tool battery packs down, so I thought this might be of...

    Interesting Ceiling Fan Idea.

    I need to know if this would work. I was thinking of attaching some mesh baskets to the ends of my ceiling fan blades and putting ice packs in them. I figure if it works it would be cheaper than buying and running a room size AC unit. I'm also worried about condensation flying off the ice packs...

    Got me a cheap bike computer

    I went to Walmart and bought a wired Bell computer for $14.00 and some change today. I wanted to know how fast my bike is without breaking the bank. The no load speed on the front hub motor is 41.3 mph. Running both of my motors at full throttle I maxed out at 31.7 mph with me on the bike. It...

    I finally met an ebiker.

    I was coming home from a ride and saw a guy on an Ezip Trails. I made a U turn and caught up to him. We ended up talking for a few minutes and it looks like he might buy my unused sla from my Currie kit. I also introduced him to the forum so maybe we'll get a new member.

    Question about a potentiometer

    I bought a controller to use with my Currie 24V 450W chain driven bike motor. It's not a Currie controller but so far it works fine. The controller is this one http://tncscooters.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=41_74&product_id=498. I had to run the lock connector wire in line with the...

    I just had a blast!!!!!!

    I got to ride up a dirt road I haven't gone up in over a decade. There's this road in the San Bernardino mountains/foothills called Cloud-line that hang-gliders and para-gliders use to get up and then jump from. It's also used by mountain bikers and hikers. The last time I rode up it, I was a...

    Water ballooning incident just now!!!!!!!

    I was on my way home after my ride when four punk high school kids in a white Honda civic through a water balloon at me. Little did they know I was on an e-bike so I had a merry time chasing them around a neighborhood I am extremely familiar with. The area we were in is uphill and downhill so...

    Internally geared hub.

    Has anyone thought of or tried to use a Currie style motor with an internally geared freewheel hub? I figure if you just mount the motor on the right side of the bike and reverse the positive and negative cables to get the motor spinning in the correct direction, it should work. Of course this...

    REWARDS SITES

    Okay, Well for a little over a year I've been actively participating on rewards earning sites. I've made close to $1,500.00 doing them and most of that has been earned in the last 6 months. I can average anywhere between $10-20.00 a day. The reason why I'm posting this is to help out forum...

    Possible different use for a PAS sensor.

    What if one were to attach the PAS sensor to the front fork on a bike and the little wheel of magnets to the hub instead of at the cranks? Wouldn't this in essence give a rider without cruise control the option of pedal assist and/or cruise control? As long as you have a level of assist switch...

    Need advice on controller

    I was wondering if there is a suitable replacement for a 36V Currie controller that won't kill the motor or be too under powered for the motor. I don't like the battery saving function of the controller where it cuts the power if it thinks you're giving the motor too much throttle. I'm running a...

    Trade question?

    Would anyone be willing to trade a good condition, used, front hub DD kit, 26" wheel that can run both 36-48V and is between 700-1000 watt for $350.00 in amazon.com gift codes? I'm going to have $350.00 in codes within a week or so from reward site earnings but the kit that I was going to buy on...

    rim wheel question

    I have an e-bikeit rear DD wheel. I want to spoke the hub into a much smaller rim. All I have is money on amazon.com; gift codes. I was thinking maybe a 16" rim to be used as a scooter motor in a stripped down bike frame. I just need to know if I can find what I'm looking for on the amazon site...

    Another cool idea from me.

    You remember back in the day, like yesterday, when you went over to your buddy's house and they had a new radio controlled toy? You're like , "oh wow, can I try it", and they're like, "no, but you can watch me play with it". At this point you're thinking, "what a dick" and you start questioning...
