Nice build but all the money you have spent you would be better off with a frame from em3ev would be far better in my opinion.

Hi guys,

Since my new project, its taking more space, its time to go, for my Cube. If someone is interest, can pass in the "For Sale" section. 2.100€ for everything, including charger and power-supply, 2 maxxis tires and shipping. The Cube is sold.

For the new toy, today arrived some parts.

Take care, Luís.

Hello crew,

Wolfeman, thanks. I really appreciate your words. Glad you like. P.S. I really like your trek. Very nice build.
Jimboyr6, great. Thanks for riding along.

Tomorrow, my rims will arrive. Then I just need the spokes and I will put my wheels together.
In the mean time, I bought something...to make my builds more easy.

Luís.

Mmm i was wondering how much weight those stands can take once u get a hub motor on

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hello guys,

Jimboyr6, this stand is to help with the little stuff. Brakes, suspension,...wen is time for the big and heavy stuff, I have one, home made...
Today, receive my rims...65mm wide. Very well packed.

Luis.

 

[Jimboyr6]

[The Mighty Volt]

Hi,just a question about the lighting in your garage, I myself have the same problem, no lights in an underground garage.

Can you tell me where you got the switch for your lights and how you set the whole thing up.

How long do the fluorescent lamps last with the 40Ah LiFe battery, also, how much did they cost and how long do they take to charge.

Thanks.

TK

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi,

The battery send the power to the inverter. After that, I have normal 220volts Ac. Then just a normal AC circuit with 2 lamps controled to 1 switch.
The fluorescent lamps are leds. 24 watts. With this battery, all lights on, can take 10 or 11 hours to discharge. I charge the battery, 1 time every month.

[the12be]

Wow awesome build mate love your battery box

 

[chucho]

Ill be also watching yor second bike conversion
You choosed the best pedals. Used them a lot and they are very strong.

Why dont you use litium cells? You could put loads on that frame with a very nice shape.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hi guys,

the12be, thanks...ex battery box. I will have to build another one. (p.s. Love your build.)
chucho, I will use 18650 lithium cells.

Next week I will install a very hard part to find...a headset....with a 50mm internal dimension...finally I find one. Was not cheap.
In the meantime, I start to find the length of spokes.

Luís.

 

[soaresdacosta]

Hello guys,

After, a professionally install "head-steam"...and very hard to find...and very expensive...I can move on.

Luís.
