I probly shudda coffed up for a mid drive, wudda simplfied things a lot, but hey. 2 whl drive. My old 1080 camera needs a batry & sd card, but i might get a bit of charge if i shoot a couple quick.

P.S. Top spd is 36 mph, but the modified kit is geared specifically for a comfortable cadence that uses very little fuel at 13 to 18 mph starting just above idle at 3200 rpm. It mushes at bike speeds but can still pedal without power, 42/34/24 chainring, 32/11 freewneel.

That looks good next to mine. Even after internally running the main power. I have an ungodly snarl of cable, half on which was too long & some too short requiring extensions. 2 throttles. gas & electric, brake cutoffs that were 3 times as long as needed coiled on my light bar. & two shifters...

Nice thing about my bike, may not have all the bells & whistles, but it´s basically a motored 90s mtn bike with cheap readily available generic parts you can find in any bike shop.( or online) $1200, 4700 miles with no issues other than the cheap stock tires.(well did replace chain & disc brake...

One reason why I always preflight check tire pressure, spokes, wheel true, & brakes b4 every ride. The other day I had over tightened the brake cable clamp & the tip portion had broken off right at the clamp. Had I not caught it in time, I may very well have lost that brake on ride. Not at all...

True enough. If it looks like a motorcycle & runs like a motorcycle, it´s probly a motorcycle

Wasn´t looking to get kit from you; just wanted to know what kit to get. I understand it´s probly 36v. but know nothing beyond that. Those bikes are elegant; I want to build one. The hybrid has been cobbled together in a struggle where everything has fought me all the way. It is ugly though...

I´m sold. Even with virtually unlimited range my gas/electric hybrid will never remotely look that clean. My Univega with Tange Pro tubing is the perfect candidate,(frame set just 3 1/2 pds.) With that kit I could confuse the hell out of the carbon spandexters as this white-haired old hippy...

Legal? I don´t care, & no one else does as long as I ride responsibly. Ride like an idiot & you´ll get hassled even if your bike is legal.

Sounds incredibly wimpy. Pasta? Really?

I can precisely replicate Lucy´s green chili. but to share it I´ve had to compromise & use a lot less pepper & grease to appease gringo tastes. Hers is still the best I´ve found among a myriad sources. with T-Jos a close second. I´d weigh 500 pds if I ate hers on a regular basis. itś sorta like...

Lucy, the Mexican lady who taught me to make green chili, had 19 children.(17 survivors), & umpteen grandchildren & great grandchildren. She was a one woman population explosion, but she knew how to cook.

Thinking of calling current project bike Rocinante, but Rube Goldberg might be more appropriate.

Just park it! Buy in bulk simple foods that do not require gobs of plastic packaging.or grow yur own. Make things instead of buying them when you can. Become self-reliant instead of a corporate thrall. P.S. The medical industry is robbing young America of it´s legacy.

groan....

Well dam, unless we come up with a new, more deadly strain, we´ll have to find another way to cull the herd. What with the bulk of money in geriatric hands trickle-down economics is at it´s all time worst.

Inflation, inevitable. Raise minimum wage & Wall Street will just raise prices to neutralize any progress. God is money & a living wage is heresy. Gotta keep those uppity serfs under the thumb. What would the world be like without massive public debt? ¨I fear that banking institutions are a...

I avoid putting any kind of goo in my tires. Twice I have done so, & twice the valve stem clogged up making it impossible to add air.

A lot of people have the mindset that more expensive means better; cheap is bad. My 1st ebike,(now a parts bike), cost more than twice as much as my moscow & wasn´t half as good a bike. The first had some innovative engineering that was experimental at best & failed. The moscow is just an 80s...

Back in the early 60s some of us in the NAR(National Assoc of Rocketry) used powdered aluminum in rocket fuel. It is especially flamable mixed with powdered rust.
