    Tilting e-trike

    Sorry, the build got shelved for the past couple of years, still sitting in my workshop, still complete waiting to be finished. Turns out when I welded the rear section together the four axle bearings no longer lined up perfectly and caused the rear axle to be constantly flexed which created...

    Ebike motors for 110mm spacing

    This thread is about a year old, just wondering if you were able to complete your build? I have 3 of these 110mm sized motors left that I had custom made for me by QS Motors. I regularly pump 4k watts through them, super tuff hot rod hub motors if you are still looking.

    My Hero. Lol

    Sheldon Brown will always be the standard of bicycle information I am sure. I am living on the west coast of Canada most bike stores here don't even carry 26" tires anymore and look at you funny if you ask. I ordered the correct tire from Aliexpress, I used a 700cc tube that I had already. It...

    My Hero. Lol

    If you mean China, that's correct. It is a Hero brand built in 2006 according to the sticker. At least it looks like you can get your crank cotter pin out if you need. Mine is broken off and no way will it come out. Other than that the bike is near mint. Good thing my friend doesn't know that...

    My Hero. Lol

    This is a Hero brand Chinese replica of an 1880's British bicycle I ended up with from my local Re-cycler friend. It was missing a back tire and needed a bunch of minor things done/simple adjustments, almost like someone bought it for display but never rode it. One of the brake pads was loose...

    Tilting e-trike

    Sorry, have been working on other projects (scratch built stationary bike trainer, house renos, etc) but plan to get back to this. I have begun to build up the tail box with styrofoam sm to create rear fenders and bodywork which will be covered with fiberglass/epoxy. I'll post updates when I get...

    Debut eBike build underway - 'BLUE BAMBOO' stretch cruiser

    Sorry my mistake, I seem to have I skipped over where you actually stated it was not connected. Those are great lights, I have some too. .... optical illusions.. :wondering:

    Landspeeder

    Thanks guys. It needs a bit of finishing and paint. My new 84v pack is too long to lay down in the bottom of the frame so more mods to come. At 5k watts it's not necessarily for the faint of heart. I used a rear hub motor from Golden motor.ca which has a disc mount one side, freewheel the other...

    Landspeeder

    It was a sunny spring day when I spotted this old dead Gio scooter on the side of the road during 'recycle days'. Of course I couldn't resist the chance to makes something cool and dragged it home. Some weeks later my dropped, lowered, chopped and stretched creation debuted on the Fourth of May...

    Debut eBike build underway - 'BLUE BAMBOO' stretch cruiser

    Those rear lights are normally usb rechargable. How did you wire it into the hub motor?

    Tilting e-trike

    Slight update: 84v battery pack should be arriving today. Planning to tear this thing down and gusset a few points, complete welding/painting the frame and finish the rear section, add some fenders, etc.

    Tilting e-trike

    Yes, exactly. The trike was largely made from parts, materials and recycled projects that were gathering dust in my workshop I thought the disc would stop rotation totally, but you could allow a slight drag if you wanted to. It does not feel like a trike when you ride, it corners like a...

    Tilting e-trike

    Takes up less storage space than some of my other bikes.

    Tilting e-trike

    Thanks. The lock on the tilt uses a friction gear shifter from an old 80's bike, it's basically just for parking so the main trike stays upright. The trike is infinitely more fun to ride unlocked. The rear stem is just a clamp to keep the rear section pivot together (like a fork headset). I cut...
