I quickly made it using a cheap micro-cam and iMovie (Mac OS X). Just for fun, really :) YouTube - Cycling is fun !

9Ah or 11Ah, 2.3kg ... any thoughts on using 18650 cylindrical cells ?

I visited my local bike shop this week-end and talked to the "mechanic" who was building custom mounts for the BionX battery, to go on a ICE Sprint recumbent trike. The PL350 motor was a pretty heavy beast (to my surprise), and its size relative to the 20" wheel means the spokes are tiny ! The...

Up to now, my DIY e-Brompton was equipped with the Suzhou Bafang motor (newer "8-Fun" SWXK unit), and my DIY e-Merc (Brompton copy) was equipped with the little Tongxin / Nano (albeit for experimental purposes only). Both e-bikes are front wheel drive 36V machines, designed so that parts can be...

For the first time, my wife and I are relying on our e-bikes for most of our local transport needs during our holidays. We are in a hilly coastal area, and so far the only trouble we've had is a punctured rear tyre on the iZip (I promptly replaced the generic / crappy chinese tube and tyre with...

Hello, I finally got around to finish my 36V Tongxin-powered e-Brompton DIY jobby (to be precise, it's a Merc, a cheap alloy copy of the real 1990's Brompton). My Bafang-powered e-Brompton (the real one, 2006 model) remains my main and favorite machine. I like the raw power and efficiency of...

I don't recognize the frame: Wisper 905e Electric Bike on eBay (end time 16-May-10 18:11:44 BST)

A while ago, some of us on this forum spotted an article with a mention of Andrew Hamilton applying for a patent in relation to his Freedom E-Bike kit: Freedom E-Bikes - Home Easy rider « Insight on Israel Some may argue that the product is similar to some well-known prior art, i.e. the...

Leaning / tilting tadpole trike Leaning in the corners has its advantages, and this Dutch product looks pretty good I think. The frame / chassis seems a little on the heavy side though (nearly 60Kg apparently), which makes electrical assistance all the more attractive. :D (48V, 16Ah battery)...

Anonymous poll: how old are you ? Although the e-biking demographics traditionally gravitate around the upper end of the age spectrum, I suspect I'm not the only "young" owner here (early thirties). So, let's roll a new poll to get updated figures ! :D - EDIT - I should explain why I used...

It has been mentioned several times on here that a lightweight hybrid bike with "maintenance-free" rear hub gear + front Tongxin hub motor and small battery pack is indeed a very desirable setup for fast commuting. The Shimano Alfine 9 gears is known for its good range and smooth action. Well...
