    EMAD 600 Watt Sidewalk Surfer Electric Skateboard NO REMOTE

    Hey guys, I just picked up this board for $50 hoping the batteries were at least good, but the ol SLA's registered 0 volts. It also did not come with the controller but I knew that going into the deal. What can I say, it looked like a fun project! :P My plan for the batteries is a pair of...

    Jet Industries Subaru Sambar Electrovan

    I just saw this ad on CL for a late 70's electric van. Has anybody any experience with these? He still has it available as of today. It would make an interesting project, but alas, I cannot. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4793885606.html...

    Neuton 5.1 Electric Mower... Possible Upgrades

    I happened across this mower after I saw the Ryobi cordless mower was on sale at Home Depot this weekend. Well, a quick search on Craigslist revealed other older cordless mowers for cheap, so for $17 I could not go wrong. This particular mower seems to be complete and battery charges up and...

    Aero Windscreen becoming accepted?

    I find most aerodynamic windscreens to be a good way to really ugly up your bike, but the usefulness and practicality cannot be doubted. Why didn't anybody on this forum think of this? Do you think it will actually catch on? It doesn't look half bad IMHO...

    Gyrocycle AND Tilting Trike!!

    I know it's not electric, but you can see how easy this would be to convert to electric, or even make a hybrid drive system. I think it's very inovative, seems like it should be getting more press... NNSCGV_x_f0

    How It's Made.... Rims!!

    I watched this today during my Sunday morning Youtube vortex time machine, thought others might find it enlightening. The video got me to thinking about better Ebike spoke designs. It would be neat to be able to use these strong bladed spokes for our bikes, or a variation of this design. I...

    Off Topic Trash

    I watched my local trash truck pickup my curbside container today and got to thinking about any inefficiencies there. The first thing that came to mind was the massive abuse the braking system must go through. I mean that truck must stop like 100 times per mile in suburbane sections of town...

    Built A Frame Today

    I woke up and decided I wanted to build a frame I had scrounged a few weeks ago. I learned most of the techniques from Thud who taught me how to hack up these cheap walmart frames and build a solid ebike out of them. He also taught me how to braze with a oxy-acetylene torch. It came together...

    Frame Advice

    So, I have the opportunity to pick this frame up for cheap and want your guys opinion on this crack in the top tube. The crack appears to be through the actual tube and not the weld. I'm thinking it could be a good experimental frame to try the Timma2500 battery box style, accept in place of...
