I found 6 of these small 12v batteries in the garage. They are out of garage door openers. They are rated at 4.5 AH. I figure if I wire them series/parallel I can get 36v 9ah. And they are free, and I get more regularly from my bro in law.... They are about 3.5 lbs each though, so for...

I really don't know if it was new or used. I can see where are very slight marks on it from being laced, but it was impeccably clean, so it may have been removed from a tandem early on.

So I need to make a decision on the rear brake. Ive ridden this bike a few times, and the drum SUCKS. It looks REALLY cool though..... So, do I wait to see if the drum ever breaks in, or do I swap in a disc hub?

It seems like a lot of the batteries that are 15-20 amp hours are only rated for 350-500 watt.....

Gotcha. That makes sense. So 1000 watt motor and the biggest battery I can afford.

Thats basically a Dolomite. Great price!

What would I need to get about 20-25 mile range? 20mph would be good too. It doesn't have to be 1000w 48v, thats just the first one I looked at.

nice looking ride. Too bad we are all so far apart. would be cool to get all the Heavy Dutis in 1 pic.

Im with you on 26". All of my bikes are 26".

Thanks! The build won't start before April or May because I have to rebuilt the front end on my panel truck and I'm going to put power steering in while I am at it. Then I REALLY need tires.....

The bike I would put it on is 50 pounds already. I'm not sure the weight of the electric kic, but I'm sure it's not at all light. Looks like $700 ish would get me a decent setup.

Do you think that 1000w motor will be enough for a 100lb bike with a 240 lb rider? And it will be on the front, since I am not aware of an electric hub for 190mm spacing.

Thanks Bike Bum! Most of our furniture is MCM. I like your Panel Truck too!

Great looking bike and a great price! Im a MTB guy myself. Are those 29" wheels? I love red rims! Here is my baby....

Im kicking around the idea of building a fat Ebike this summer. I have some time to think about it since I need to put some $$$ into my truck before I do another bike build. I have this frame: I would mount a rear wheel on the front of this bike, since it has 135mm front spacing. And I...

Thats a cool looking bike. I like the front rack. Of course who doesn't like a big front rack.

Thanks guys!

Thanks Luke!

I started this build because my 8 year old was outgrowing his 20" BMX style Specialized. We had this bike for a while, but it was so heavy that he almost couldn't and surly didn't like to ride it. Now its setup for him, and 8 pounds lighter! Short ride video: List of mods...

This bike is DONE!! Black bars and lockon grips finished it off!
