Just like cars have more speed capability than they can legally use on the highways and byways, I want that same option for myself. If they are allowed a discretionary reserve, I want/ need the same thing.. This, to safely manage/ control my space while swimming with the nasty "Mr. Wheelers" on...

Massive help.. I cant thank you enough for placing this on my radar. Glad to see that others are interested as well! Will post about my experience if/ when I get my hands on one.

WOW!! Thanks so very much Amberwolf!! So much information to chew on for the next little while.. I kinda forgot that the phaserunner could do 21s. Its very possibly my next stop.. The higher 's' values are definitely more desirable but don't seem as straightforward to obtain. Regarding the...

My sweet spot would be either 26s or 28s.. Lyen (not sure if he is still in business or not) seemed either; quite disinterested in my business, or is a provider of extremely poor customer feedback. Am still open to his solutions if he is out there though.. Any other options on the market? Will...

I have a local connection to reverse engineer splines of various configurations.

Hey thanks guys for pointing me to the Kweld thread! Its great to know that the word is spreading - thanks to the magic of ES! ;0)... Out of curiosity, I also plan to read up on that Malectric you mentioned. :bigthumb:

The ONLY affordable battery spot welder that kicks major arse... It's the best value for money on the market (around 200 euros for the assembled kit) - yet, it performs like a 2500 dollar machine!! Don't waste your money on the cheap Chinese stuff that leaves you guessing about the reliability...

I definitely appreciate and embrace the comments regarding battery box re-location. I will take a closer look at executing the suggestions, because at 35 miles an hour, a front suspension becomes fairly important. For the benefit of this forum, running low pressures in motorcycle tires that are...

Hope this pic helps

I've decided to post the battery box cover detail. Its the latest addition to the bike.

The bike is finally finished and running approx 60V. Am not yet sure about the speed, but it feels fast enough (will post details later). Tire diameter is 22", and am running a 60T chainring. With this setup, I easily run out of cadence (so am guessing past 100 revs). The bike still climbs 12%...

Any thoughts regarding a gy6 cvt and an electric motor/ controller combo driving the same output shaft to create a hybrid vehicle? A reverse trike seems like the logical platform but i guess any format could be considered fair game. The gas pedal of the cvt is mechanically linked to the...

What gear ratios would be considered ideal for a lightweight ev 2 speed gearbox? The engineer would like input from forum members.
