After looking at some of the new stuff coming out of China and trying to get a "claimed" powerful mid drive system that I could put on my 2001 Brodie 8 ball. One company turned me down and told me their motor was only being sold as part of their bike and not alone. Since it was so powerful it...

But with my weird shaped frame, will it all fit. I can call them and see what they say.

Don't forget Wayner, I may be pedaling a little harder to keep up the same speed. like you said the other day, we'll do a no pedaling race test of the same distance and check all the numbers. "Beer ASS" not beer belly by the looks of that picture :) .

Well here it is. With lots of help from Wayne Bergman, to organize what I needed and help me wire it all up. He had good recommendations on what to get and what to leave out. I then had a machinist make up 2 5021 aluminum dropouts that I screwed onto my originals. This 5000 series aluminum is...

I didn't even look at the removable rear dropouts. could be handy then. I'm 180 and the bike's pretty heavy. (51 lbs I think) Now the cost is a good question I've been wondering about. I want nothing made in china (I don't think) What I'm looking for is To run a couple hours up and down some...

Hey guys, Just wanted to say hi. I'm thinking about getting my bike electrified. Sold my KTM SXF 250 and miss those rides. but not the noise and smell. I know no electric bike is a dirt bike, but this 8 ball is just too heavy to ride up hills! The bike is mint and I bought it brand new in...
