    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...

    Tilting e-trike

    It's been a couple of years or so since I had a new build. I used to post with user name 'OCD' but had to change my name to get back on here. Covid lockdowns have been hard on many of us over the last 1.5 years, here's what the isolation drove me to do. (lol). While cleaning up the shop I ended...

    Cassette To Single For Cruiser Ebike?

    Are you working with a motor with a standard (135mm) drop out or a 110mm single speed drop out? If the motor fits the frame you want to use, you can buy a spacer to put the single speed freewheel where the smallest gear of the 7 speed would be. If the motor is too wide for the drop outs you will...
