Hi there!! I want to show you my Four door sedan limo... It's not a bullet , but very comfortable.. I have 130 miles with the motor, 2500 total on the bike.. The hills have all disappeared in my area :lol: I went to the recumbents a few years ago, much easyer on the back , Knees, and rists I find.. All of which are old The kit is 36v sla, 50amp controller, 600w Aotma motor, 20" wheels.. I Pedal most of the time, useing the motor as an assist.. With out pedaling it pulls me along about 17/18 mph on the flats.. I don't think that is to bad , seeing that I have 2.35 Big Apple tires on at 45psi.. Sure does ride, and handle nice though.. Ya all take care... Bill

Nice work on the V2 looks good with the 20 inch wheels and fatty meats. These e-bikes make riding a bike a pleasure once again. Like the car too had a 65 for a while back in the 70s shaved door handles with hidden buttons, back then, to open them. Large metal flake blue paint really loved the car. Thanks for the post.

Thanks guys for the kind words.. I tell you what, putting the motor on has kept me bikeing.. Now if I could only find a way to keep my golf game from going south I would be really happy. :lol: Ya know now I would like to find a crank forword frame to make a chopper out of.. The Rans frame sets are nice, but I don't want to spend that much.. There is the Micargi bike.. That's a whole bike, I guess I could put a tripple tree fork on it, 20" front wheel.. I just haven't seen any chopper frames .. If any of you have an on this I would like to hear from you... And Thanks again... Bill

Nice 'Vair! 110, 140, Turbo? I had a 140 back in the late '60's, loved it! Cross street neighbor had a 180 Turbo. Larry Claypool of "The Vair Shop" is a friend - funny how that works - no longer into cars (even 'Vairs) and become friends with a specialist, who isn't into recumbents OR e-bikes.
