This is how the e-bike wheel came out. I still have to fill the gaps between the spokes . I have some ideas we will see what will work and what does not work

Nice lacing !

Wheel looks good.

This was new to me spokes laying. I have watched a lot of Youtube videos and was certainly 2 days busy with trial and error to get this right.

I am only sure if it is done wright when the bike is finished and i will do test laps,
Then I really know if its works out well

youll defenitly need to tighten them more , untill there is no curves in the spokes ,i use to over twist them manually to make a sharp bend so the rest of the spoke is nice and straight . or just ride,tight,ride, tight etc untill is alright

Love that spoke pattern! There are any YouTube videos on making that pattern?

thanks for your advise . I thought something might not be perfect since I am doing this for the first time, but can you be a bit more specific with your quote:

" until there is no curves in the spokes ,i use to over twist them manually to make a sharp bend so the rest of the spoke is nice and straigh"

Do you have an example of this instruction ??

Thanks, that's why I couldn't find it - since in Poland we call it "Pajęczynka" and there ar no instructables titled that way

Will come in handy in future builds!

No problem I am also learning through knowledge exchange, we all come to a extraordinary design

what i ment is you can make the twist tighter (a sharp bend) that way the spoke is nice and straight before and after the bend so it hold tension better
if you have a curve in the spoke apart from where it is crossing , its a spot that will eventually straighten , and you will have to re-tight it

It's fun watching your builds come together. Always out of the ordinary, but cool.

Sick engine!

Sick engine!

I used cillinders of a pocket/mini bike i still have to ad some parts as carburateur. Aircleaner .bougies etcetera .so it would look more realistic
