That would be a problem with the STANLEY ultra fast cure (aerosol) listed above. Another option i've considered is drilling 4-5 small holes in the tire tread every few inches ... just large enuf to insert the aerosol fill tube. Then quickly spray the STANLEY fast cure into the 4-5 holes around...

Is there a brand (aerosol can) of expandable rigid urethane casting foam that would work for transforming a 10" scooter tube tire into a solid tire? It's too labor intensive of a battle for me to replace tube tire with a solid 10" tire; after viewing a few youtubes and seeing labor intensive...

Just ordered a 'refurbished' Classic 16" LT. Decided NOT to get one of the newer (heavier) 48v etrikes with 7-speed derailleur. My average speed is less than 12 mph as i'm rarely in a hurry being retired. There was a time i thought 15mph would be nice, but no longer, now content cruising at...

.Can envison you building a HD utilitarian Cargo eTrike ... with pedals if only for looks ... https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/threads/heavy-duty-etrike.54999/ This DIYer is one of the most all-around knowledgeable when it comes to custom builds ...

Highly unlikely unless you're a featherweight with wind at your back, and highly efficient ebike with level urban paved paths (no inclines), even then you'd have to provide at least 50% power using pedal assist. Whoever told you 15 miles per volt (with pedal assist) is trying his/her best to...

Why? You already have a very nice ebike and etrike that others probably envy. After it's all said and done you may still prefer riding your existing etrike more often. Find an interesting and challenging hobby ;) instead of such a labor intensive and expensive time consuming PROJECT.

To make your ebike legal you need pedals, crank, chain/belt drive for one of the rear wheels. Otherwise without pedals you'd need to get a license; especially if you plan on speeds exceeding 28 mph. You could save yourself some money, intensive (sometimes frustrating) labor and start enjoying...

It sounds like too much work (frustration), and not much fun to get it to your satisfaction. Why not just get a 48v etrike with 7-speed derailleur (eg: Addmotor, Mooncool, Lectric XP). then make your own modifications to suit your interests. Should be more than enuf for your enjoyment. As for...

Yes, it's no fun if we can't find reason to do a few modifications to suit our interest ... happy etriking

Seeing as it's still 10s (36v nominal) assume any increase in speed (due to 20" tire) that what is gained in speed it now lacks in power requiring some more pedal power for steeper inclines. Going on 81 yrs it's a combo of (ghost) pedaling and throttle at level 3 (averaging 8-9 mph) which is to...

Increased speed is due to new 20" front wheel assembly vs 16" wheel. It may be possible to replace front portion of LT's 16" front hub portion with the newer front portion with its 20" hub wheel for +2mph cruising speed, but not cost effective if it's already time to replace your older(well...

About ready to buy another Liberty Trike this winter after having checked out other trikes. Decided not to go with 48v, 7-speed derailleur w/cadence sensor Trike. Most of my cruising is on urban pathways averaging 8mph (in 4th) with 7,380 miles since 2019 As you can see from the photo its use is...

BIG AMEN to that condition. The first time i drove in hilly San Fran didn't know if i could get going again without killing the engine when red light turned green, Scary experience taking foot off brake and giving it gas at same time ... for a newbie from Wisconsin.

FWIW ... Are there any ebikers that come to a complete STOP if no oncoming traffic ? Got upset with my son for not instructing his kids (my 3 grandchildren) to come to a complete stop (instead of roll thru) at a residential street red STOP sign ... and look both ways before proceeding when we...

From the article it sounds like he was showing off to some friends. It's true that the only difference between some men and some boys is the price of their toys ($22,000 v $4,000). He's considering a lawsuit as it's not his fault as much as it's the manufacturer and seller. He broke three...
