    I was pulled over

    I got pulled over today on the way to work. It was pretty funny actually. I was cruising down the shared bike path I usually ride and wide open (pushing 5okph) as usual. There is rarely anyone else on the path and when there is I slow down and move off the path to give them room. It is long and...

    Need to keep your head down in New Zealand

    A sign of the future for us here in NZ. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/6780529/Petrol-powered-pushbikes-perplex-police Police will soon be looking for fast moving bikes. The petrol converters will probably switch to electric as the next step. I like how they say take them and get them...

    riding style with gears

    I notice when I ride I accelerate hard and am at WOT all the time. I have 3 motor gears through the rear dérailleur, so I just pick the gear for the speed I want and pin the throttle. I commute on my bike, mostly on crushed gravel bike paths and the road. Second gives me just under 50kph and...

    new way to drive "through the crank"

    I don't think I have seen this brought up before, so tell me if someone else has had this idea. I'm sure Miles will find if it has been. I was thinking about driving through the crank and how to avoid a freewheeling crank. I came up a plate that clamps between the bottom bracket and shell...

    Thoughts with any members in Christchurch NZ

    My thoughts are with any ES members that are in Chch. Not sure if there are any, but it was hit by a 6.3 earthquake at 12.51 in the afternoon local time today. There are deaths, injuries, and a lot of destruction. It is worse than the one in Sept. I lived there for several years and have...

    currie xyd motors

    I have been looking at the currie xyd scooter motors and have an xyd-13 600w. I have seen an xyd 900w and they range from 250w to 1000w all in the same size housing. What I am wondering is if there is any difference on the inside of the motors, or if they are all the same. Most of them say...

    full sus bikes best suited for ebike

    Just wondering what people have found for full suspension bikes most suited for an ebike. I've found these 2 with a suspension set up I think is well suited for an ebike as it leaves the frame completely open to use.

    flyinmonkie's chopper build

    Well, I have begun my chopper build. It is off to a slow start, but I am tackling the hardest problem first. The bike has a 4.5 inch wide rear tire, which is really cool, but makes it a bit hard to sort the drive. It is a single speed with a BMX freewheel and chain and a huge hub. I've...

    My non hub build

    Well, I have a build thread in the pics and video section, but being a non-hub design, it has gotten little attention or answers to several questions I have asked. Disappointed with no response to my questions there I figured I would move it over here to the fastly expanding non-hub section...
