    Unite MY1018Z - multiple motor mounting schemes

    wow.. you really see that? don't forget, there still needs to be room to attach a trailer to the hub bolt. perhaps i just want too much.. but I think I'm really just blind when it comes to designing these kinds of things!! can't move it down and add a trailer hitch... or can you? Only certain...

    A different e-Zip Trailz

    hey bluthermal.. sounds like you've experienced some pain with 36v. there is a guy on another forum who is running 36v successfully, but he manages it with short 15 second bursts and then 15-30 second rests for the motor so it doesn't ever get too hot and he is a 200lb rider as well. You may...

    Unite MY1018Z - multiple motor mounting schemes

    i wish i had the knowledge to contribute to this thread, but alas, i do not. I will be watching it with high interest though! In addition to the mounting bracket, it seems a quality design of aligning the two motors for best shared efficiency and torque would be a good thing to consider...

    kurts E bike

    Hey Kurt, Since we're going for more torque here (as well as sharing the work between the motors), isn't the alignment of the sprockets important? How did you align the sprockets? (a picture would be helpful) For you guru's that may possibly be making a custom bracket, would you mind making a...

    kurts E bike

    Hey Kurt... that's a brilliant solution you have there! 48v and no motor cooling mod necessary. A picture I'd like to see is one taken from the back side of the bracketing to more clearly see the sprockets and chain. The top view shot is great, but there are still some things hidden from view...

    Shockdyno's solar E-Zip trailer

    :oops: That is the part I can't see and don't understand. :oops: okay.. got it.. for some reason i was not looking at the crossmember for the join, but rather the side frames. ::headbonk:: :roll: Joining the crossmembers to the hole that is already there is brilliant and simple... except for...

    Shockdyno's solar E-Zip trailer

    A WEEK? THAT'S WEAK! LOL! In thinking about this further, that tool charge setup is for tool batts that have low amp hours in comparison to our Currie batt packs. So it would work, but who knows how long it would take. One could get really adventurous and keep the costs down by building...

    Shockdyno's solar E-Zip trailer

    I found this setup at Harbor Freight that says it will charge 24volts and is used on construction sites to charge 18volt and 24volt power tool batteries... hmmmmm. Does this have any promise for charging the 24volt Currie batt pack? 18 Volt to 24 Volt Solar Charger made by Chicago Electric...

    Shockdyno's solar E-Zip trailer

    I see that hardwood spacer. i thought that was a plywood bottom so thanks for the explanation. Is it possible to get a shot of the underside of the trailer? Also, I'm not a tool/home depot guru yet, can you show us a closeup of how the two trailers meet? Even of the hardware used? I'm sure there...

    Shockdyno's solar E-Zip trailer

    Hey Shockdyno... Thanks a million for posting this! I even called Currie tech support and they could not recommend a trailer that would clear the motor... uggg. I contacted that same company in IA that has great trailers and a hitch and towbar that clears, but not only are they very expensive...

    Update on my ezip

    hi jay.. not sure if there is a difference but it looks like you have the '07 model and ecoforumz and i have the '08. Eco got 27mph when he put 36v on it. Perhaps your year's model has a limiter in the control box?

    Update on my ezip

    Hi Jay.. i thought adding the extra voltage could also increase your distance depending on how much throttle you put into your ride. My motor doesn't cutoff, but when i hear it screaming because of speed, i ease up on the throttle, so perhaps i just haven't allowed it to cutoff on its own...

    Update on my ezip

    hello again Eco.. can I ask what you paid for this beauty of a filter? Because I am out of state, I have to find a local store here that carries it. According to their website, there are about 4 possible stores within 6 miles of me so hopefully I'll strike gold... but wondered what the price is...

    Dealing with cars / traffic

    i've been hooted and hollered at (they like to drive as close as they can to scare me with the yelling), and also had sodas thrown at me... ALWAYS BY MEN ages 15-45. I am a safe no more than 20mph rider and I hug the gutters so I do not provoke this behavior except for my mere existence on the...

    K&N filter for modified ezip motors

    Oooops.. one more thing. Eco,.. that batt pack looks AWESOME and perfect for the EZip std. rack. Since you drilled holes in it though, are you planning to get some kind of filter cover for that as well?

    K&N filter for modified ezip motors

    AWESOME pics Eco... I'm going to have to pick up a filter as well. You say you have run the standard Ezip at 42 volts now? Wow.. I thought 36 was the limit.

    2008 Ezip Trails Mountain Bike - Review

    Errrr... uhhhh... so this "filter wrap" is something you will cover your Currie motor with to prevent moisture and debris from getting into the motor after holes are drilled into the cover? Am I tracking with you?

    Update on my ezip

    Hi Jay, Gravity.. :roll: :lol: :wink: I check my tires a few times a week and keep them at 60. With the weight of the batts and this bike in general, when the tires are any lower, i really notice the drag. pics of your milk crate on the rack please.. lol... i am the picture hound. how are...

    Update on my ezip

    27mph??? on the ezip??? 36V here I come. wooohooooo! Please keep us updated on your tests re: motor heat. I've seen the threads on here about drilling holes in the motor cover but I am wondering how road debris doesn't get in there and muck up the works. (or rain, or water from puddles, or...

    neat trick to visualize your e-bike maximum distance

This map site allows you and others to add tips/comments on the route maps you make. Really helpful in my area to avoid some very busy roads and even some hills getting to...
