Have addressed the rear brake issue completely now and thats gone from the weakest to probs the strongest part of the bike, following E-HP idea about the half pipe I got a 1/2" x 8" galvanised steel connector pipe used for plumbing from Home Depot and went to work turning that into a...

Best and most stealth one ive seen!

Yeah it would have only been a matter of time before I caught the old ones going around a corner ha

Been away for a bit with Christmas and all that but back at the bike now. So ive gone from the bafang crank arms 170mm to 100mm unicycle crank arms to give me more clearance and they look like they are going to be a lot better for rideability. Bafang crank arms 100mm unicycle crank arms...

Congrats! Yeah I haven't seen a 20" lowrider style bike with a motor before so fancied giving it a go! Stay tuned as going to be swapping the crank over soon as the ground clearance isn't enough with the 170mm Bafang cranks

Could you explain this a little more? Just trying to work out where you mean, the disc brake mount is a lot more solid than the cheap one I was using before but would like to strengthen then frame as much as possible as well

I was surprised how hard it was to bend back so there is still quite a bit of strength there I recon and now I haven't got the brake pressure on it it should be ok but if not I can just get a new one. The bend is to far up to be able to cut it and still make the adjustment holes, we will see how...

Yeah if it goes now it will be the frame bending so lets hope that doesn't happen :lol: Have bent the sissy bar back and will give that a go and picked up a second hand straight rotor today.

Looks like I might be back in the game and stronger than every! I already had one of these adaptors https://www.bicycledesigner.com/bike-parts/bicycle-brake/springer-fork-disc-brake-bracket.html to fit the front brake on but just thought I would see if it would fit the back and it seems to fit...

Yeah is kinda funny, just wish I had a way I knew I could improve it, been looking at either getting a a2z adaptor and modifying it or using the same one I've got on the front and trying to make it fit on the back. The sissy bar is going to get in the way of either I recon though

!!!!!!!!!!!FIRST RIDE OUT. DID NOT GO AS PLANNED!!!!!!!!!!! Got everything ready and went out for the first time today, steering was working a lot better than I thought it would and was pulling well, all was going just dandy until a security van opened its side door and I had to brake a little...

Sweet I ended up going with a 30 amp circuit breaker

So if im running 48v with 750 watt motor thats 15.68a, I would be better off getting a 20a circuit breaker over a 15a wouldn't I?

Just built a 48v battery and just wondering if I should put a fuse in line just after the battery and if so what fuse? Thanks

Wirings pretty much done, would it be worth my chucking an inline fuse between the battery connector? If so what fuse would you go for?
