    Trailer for dogs, etc

    Burley They make the best. Found my solo on Craigslist for $150. They can take abuse off road. I have done over 30mph towing mine without worries. The solo I have is rated for 100lbs. I use it for my lead which is 40 labs and daughter 30 labs and tows the weight comfortable

    Trash picked Elequick

    Took a closer look. It's 24v. Going to put 24v to it and see if she goes. Any idea if I can bump it up to 36v without destroying anything? Knowing this area I am sure someone used it for a summer, let the lead sit all winter and in the spring the battery was DOA and has been sitting in some...

    WTF was I thinking? I know better than 2 post 1 lousy pic! I got excited took the pic stashed the bike. Haven't messed with it at all yet. Looks like a direct drive to rear wheel. The motor itself looks like something that would drive a bus windshield wiper! Guess I'll hotwire the keyswitch and...

    Trash picked Elequick

    Found this in my alley. No battery or key. No markings I can find for voltage. Figured I could power it up and see if it at least works. Anyone know of these:

    vpower.hk First e-bike on the CHEAP

    Got it all sorted out and have been riding it daily for the last 4 days or so. The kit does well off the line, is easy to break the front tire loose. This is with the bike and myself, about 250lb and with about 80 in the trailer, kid and batteries. Top speed is 30 MPH according to my garmin. The...

    My bad.... It is a 26"wheel. Rather than mess with my hybrid I decided to turn my rusty old Schwinn into the e-bike. Probably better off anyway. Feel like the hybrid is too nice for this use right now anyways. I did get the motor and all the bits and peices moutned up. Waiting for a shipement to...

    May be the hybrid. I have a second bike I took the 26" tire off.... Can always switch the front fork over if the wheel is a 26". Really didn't have the time to really get into it. Guess I'll have to check it out in the am.

    argghhhhh..... sent a 25" rim. What do I do? I contacted the seller probably will not hear from him until tommrow. The listing was for a 26" says it everywhere. Guess i'll wait for his reply. Pic:

    Hey I figure 3 things may happen. 1: I like the bike, the lead fails and I get a new battery. 2: I see the potential of a great bike and start from scratch. 3: I ride it till the batteries fail and I sell it. I really like running around with the trailer right now. I drop my kid off at...

    I bought off ebay.... gotta say he did communicate and sent out in decent time. Could not wait to find the best spot for all this weight. 2 in front and 2 in back works best. The trailer is a magical, balance the weight and you don't know its back there. Let's see if I can post pics: A bad shot...

    Need ebike stealthyness ideas

    How about a backpack? With a folding bike I'm guessing you take it with you alot. Might be easy to just put the batts on you back.

    Breaking UK/US Motor Wattage limit.

    on subject..... I had a Chinese e-bike that looked more like a moped, full turn signals etc. Got pulled over by a cop for riding it on the sidewalk. He asked for docs. I explained to him it was a bike and showed him the US Fed doc with 20mph max etc. He was insistent I did not ride it. I told...

    Well I bought the kit on 11/11 at night. Receive an almost instant email with tracking number for Fedex. Guess they didn't pick up the package yesterday as Fedex has no record. Anyone ever deal with fedex packages being shipped from HK? Hopefully the package will hit the mail as I'm sleeping.

    Right now this is a project and honestly I'm not much of a biker. I already maxed out my budget and a ebike without batteries is useless. This is not my first experience with electric powered transportation. I have owned a Zappy, loved riding it all around town up and down curbs and in and out...

    For the couple months or so since getting my new truck I have been riding my bike more and more. I live in a small island town in NJ and my normal travels are less then 10 miles round trip. The truck doesn't even reach operating temperature most days and I have found it easier to park it and...
