Phillips made a 50cc pedal assist with telescopic forks and the motor mounted inside the 28mm tubes of the main triangle by a fine two part bracket with three rubber isolation bushes. The clutch had cork inserts and drive was by chain. The motor went into the bairn's cart, the bike went to a...

jcebike jcebike, From your post No. 6 above I went to your website. It would appear that your torque sensing crank could give a normal electric motor a similar functionality to the Panasonic motor which is renowned for its efficiency. Would it be possible to maintain maximum power nearer...

For personal use I have tended to operate on a Permanently Temporary basis ~ a low tech, low input solution as a prototype that may remain in use for a couple of decades. Watch this space? According to Wikipedia the Peer Gynt is a classic European long wheelbase recumbent and here it has been...

Jeremy, A trailing bracket in your link to www.ebikes.ca Homepage of the revolution took me to tiscali. In a pervious post you had bought a Tongxin motor from there, I followed that link and found this young man's adventure. His fun photo of himself on his conversion of an Xtracycle...

stevew, I have the same 10Ah and 2 hour charger that you have ordered plus the double freewheel motor that I hope to install on my much loved Peer Gynt long wheelbase recumbent that I am trying to refurbish. Dave

stevew, Have you ordered the freewheel crank or the double freewheel motor? I look forward to your build reports, I need inspiration. Dave

cyclone-tw.com I tried to put this address in a post but it turned into two lines of other interesting places, which, granted leads to the site. This has happened before, can it be corrected? Can this supplier go on the Map? Electric bicycle DIY kits kit NuVinci Electric Scooter...

Over the past months I have bought some plug and play items over the web from cyclone-tw.com and been happy with them. I pondered over the Double Freewheel Clockwise Motor, as there did not appear to be space on the gearbox output shaft for two freewheels until I read on Endless Spheres...

There have been a number of comments on the forum praising the use of a standard bike as a basis for electric assist and the Gitane is such a machine. The hole in the chainguard is sized to allow it to be easily taken off over the pedal for maintenance and the threaded bottom bracket of the...

stevew, Private message sent. Dave

I got a Plastic Lock from Aldi yesterday for £3.99. 1.2m plastic covered 2mm stainless cable, 4 digit resettable combination. Stores itself neatly under the saddle when looped through the saddle springs and the frame. Dave

I am still taken up with my Gitane E-bike 8 Panasonic so out of interest I measured it. With the front wheel turned, wall to mudguard extension is 67" and floor to handlebar is 48". It should easily fit into the Trimetal bike store. I chose the Gitane over the Gazelle for its lighter weight...

While searching the web for information on the lightweight Gitane E-Bike 8 I found a model which is visually very similar. I spoke to an enthusiastic and very helpful Mr. Paul Moor who assured me that the bike was in stock and that they are happy to sell to the trade. He directed me to a part...
