    Stealthy Cruiser EBike

    It took 4 months, but I think I am finally back on track to building a stealth cruiser ebike. I got the cruiser bike ordered, and it should be arriving tomorrow. It’s a 7 speed cruiser with v brakes. So maybe some Koolpads with ebike material. And the eccentric adapters for the bb are on the...

    Are you sure they meant "bicycle"?

    CV Hub on Vado

    I was in the store yesterday, and I saw some interesting hubs and Gates belt drives on the new Vado's... CV Hubs... anyone here have one of these?

    Signs just put up on my home town bike path.

    Enforcing it is always going to be an issue. There are not enough resources to enforce anything like that. Even to enforce a 15MPH speed limit on the trail, there are not enough resources!

    New extended power battery

    For storing a 2nd battery, I would print a 3d case that could be mounted on the rear rack. I would at least pad the inside a little bit. I would look to photos like this for ideas! Maybe! or maybe not! Ha! But definitely nothing like this!

    No throttle and no way home today... :(

    There's no Class 4, but like this article says, some people like to refer to them as Class 4. I also found it interesting that some bikes are designed to switch in between classes! That would make @Gionnirocket's pile of stickers appropriate! Ha! https://pedalwithpower.com/what-class-is-my-ebike/

    New extended power battery

    The other day I saw a guy swap his batteries. He just carried the spare on the rear rack, with bungee cords.

    My bike goes too fast for me to have pedal input. Can I change this?

    I second the 9 levels on PAS. Makes a big difference.

    Interesting bags on that Pitch. I need some storage bags on my bike... I may have to try some of those!

    Cable wrap solutions

    My first reaction is just unwrap everything and leave it that way... Having said that, you might need to tidy things up! Electrical tape and cable ties are two things that come to mind. I haven't done any shrink wrap yet, but that day is coming! I have some Anderson connections that need...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Did you grab the feral cat and take it for a ride too? Ha! He'll never visit you again!

    Input for long range commuter build?

    I am starting to think about that too! At my normal cadence of 60-70, I am on the smallest sprocket. By changing my chainring from 42 to 52, I can get off the smallest sprocket. See the red boxed targets below...

    Input for long range commuter build?

    Good catch! Here's a pic of the bike upside down, with the brake cable and the shift cable! @4speed I ended up resin printing this with ONYX Pro410

    Input for long range commuter build?

    I had a chance to design and 3D print a bracket for the Giant Cypress! :) It looks like it'll work! There's 3 captured nuts in there, to make things easy to assemble! Here's a sample installation:
