OK, so right away warning you that this is not about an EMTB but it is e and a concept that I have considered for years....So don't bother to continue if you haven't got an open mind.
eBikes have been associated with Mopeds since day 1 yet legal eBikes are nothing like Mopeds actually. True...
The frame is a steel OS Brand, the private brand of an industry guy that I know. Pretty old school geo and nothing I would want to make into a mtb although that was it's original intent. The price was right...
Not a Bafang but a TSDZ2 running the Open Source Firmware. It's a kit type motor that...
I recently was united with a 3yr. old Labradoodle that came with all the good dog aspects as well as mtb experience via his prime people. Over the 30+ yrs. of mtb'ing I have had a few dogs that were trail trained and they can make great companions and those longing eyes about the time they think...
It is pretty clear that the big boys are leading the charge these days and that most of the focus is on FS for all riding purposes. However there are some out here that don't want FS and are happy with a hardtail like myself. The simplicity, possibility of a lower weight and most important to me...
Not sure if it's a thing world wide but over the years I have run across little things like this in my travels at least here in the US. This one has UK implications and thought I would share.
Bonus points for the first to identify it.
Never would have seen it but I was on a new to me trail...
I live in the OR which is well known as a wet spot during the winter. In fact they say 5 people have fallen off their bikes and drowned over the years;).
My eMTB is just a kit type old bike that is only a hardtail and ugly to being with so I have no shame in applying some sheet plastic and zip...
Over here in the US there has been a pretty active underground movement of high power eBikes going on for quite a few years. Primarily the activity was documented on a forum called Endless Sphere and all manner of home brew from high tech to wtf builds have occurred over the years. One of the...
In the e-Zesty thread it started to drift off into the use of the Fazua system for drop bar bikes. Obviously this segment of the eBike market is coming on strong and there are several different takes on the motor systems, whether a hub drive or mid drive, that are appearing on the different...
I have noticed watching CycloX races this winter that in the pits there are cordless drill looking tools being used as tire inflators. Knowing that cordless tools are available to just about anything these days I took a trip down Google Ave. and of course came up with a variety of options...
This may have already been discussed but it seems that in the UK at least they are not going to put up with the old "off road use only" shtick any more without additional approval.
Bike EU
I am unsure however how all this heat is coming down on eBikes in a part of the world where HyperCars...
I like it, a global forum that has a chance of focusing on what really matters about e bikes. E bikes.
Have been messing about with small engines and motors on bicycles since 2000. My first 24v SLA front hub motor was a taste in 01' of what I knew the future would bring.
I'm a kit guy til...
