Hello! I built what I think is the first electric vintage Schwinn Stingray! I used the Ampedbikes SLA kit, and I want to thank them for a solid product and great support.
Here is the bike when I first got it off craigslist Thanks Pete!
I tore it down, wet sanded the frame and clear coated the bike to preserve the sun worn patina
I upholstered the seat and made a stencil with my vinyl plotter, and used a sharpie marker to paint the seat. It has a nice worn look
The hub is a sachs torpedo duomatic 2 speed kickback. my favorite!
Here is the bike all fixed up before I made it electric
Here is the bike with the motor kit
Like how I hooked up my throttle? pretty dangerous, but i have a kill switch on the handlebars
I made the battery rack out of an old skateboard. The grip tape helps hold things in place
I fit a LED flashlight into my headlight too.
The bike isnt totally finished yet. I want to make a better battery holder that is not blue.
I will have to upload some video and new pictures when I can. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!!
