OOOHHHH, OOOOHHH, AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Geez man, you HAD IT! It was right THERE and you fumbled! It's killing me now, but I don't want to ruin it. Geez, this is worse than CHRISTMAS! It's funny, but since this thread is already bastardized beyond most hope (who started it again? SORRY...

AH HA! NOW I get it! 8) Oh, I mean - nowv eye getzing it. :P (good, no good, better luck next time?!?!) I can't believe i'm reading about the equivalent of a nitrous oxide kit on here! :shock: You guys are too much! :lol: Sorry, shutting up now. :D

While i'd normally agree that wrong wheel drive is wrong (love it, Lowell!), i'm ..... thinking. NOT a good thing, btw. The bike would strictly be used for commuting (and getting into the 50 mph club one day ..... maybe), no other use. Rigid steel fork to keep bike weight down (ask me how much...

Cool, got it! Thanks xyster!

Anyway I can figure out, at least roughly, how much re-charging batteries will cost me? I know there are a number of variables involved, like battery type and size, local rates, measurement period, maybe the type of charger used ..... other stuff I don't know about ..... :? Anyone care to...

Wow, great info guys! A few things here I didn't find while searching, too. :D Lowell - i'm thinking for the "extra few bucks" i'd go with a 72V 35a controller. That and it seems to be the biggest thing that ebikes.ca has (life would be MUCH easier purchasing within Canada). Probably start...

Lowell, your reply already tells me to forget a kit and do something piece-by-piece. Is it a fair assumption? (btw, love that parking lot vid of you - what were those alarms?)

Hey all! I've been eyeballing this kit for a little while now. Seems like a pretty basic and complete kit. Comes with all necessary hardware ..... yada yada yada. Here ..... http://www.charlsgiftstore.com/showproduct.aspx?id=36007 (sorry, NOT intended to be spam!) Does anyone have experience...

Don't worry, knoxie, I know all about you. Oh, I mean all of you. :lol: Yup, been reading a lot and realizing there's more to it then I thought (at least with what I want). I'm at the point now where I need to start a thread about what i'm finding/after, so ..... off I go. Thanks for the...

(since Patrick mentioned it - i'm typing this after his reply :lol: ) Okay, i'm getting the idea here - not worth it. Can't help but "read between the lines" (kinda) and notice that regen systems seem to be almost poo-poo'ed. :? Being the newB that I am I just kinda figured a regen system is...

So, being the newbie that I am (keep that in mind) i'm looking at all these pictures and seeing sooo many people re-charging their batteries. Okay, it makes perfect sense - use power from a storage device and you'll have to replenish it eventually. (again, e-NEWBIE here) When I look under the...

Hi all! Newest registered member reporting for ..... duty? I've been toying with the idea of building an e-bike. Very intriguing to use it to get to work and back instead of a car. Well, okay, on the not-raining days anways! Still trying to evaluate some of the pros and cons before I start...
