    Really big rider

    MBR my hat is off to you in continuing to cycle despite it being a chore. With multiple back operations, age and other self induced health concerns such as smoking, I too had trouble mustering up the mind set required for regular cycling. I see a lot of people with issues that got them away...

    CurrieTech - How to adjust Dash rear brake??

    I will check into this further with Dave when he is here tomorrow at the store. I apologize in giving the impression that a conversion to hydraulic brakes would be a straight forward proposition. I will check with Currie to see what is involved cut off sensor wise in adapting and get back to the...

    Currie Zuma E3 (2012 Cantilever)

    A time proven design. If I understand correctly Currie is going back to this style due for the Zuma due to it's durability and simplicity of design. I like this model for the simplicity of operation and near indestructibility. For a utility bike, and letting someone borrow it for a spin it is...

    Intersted in conversation kit up to 500$

    Not saying there is anything intrinsically wrong with a conversion and they definitely have there place such as on a recumbents or trikes where the manufactures fall short with very little to offer in a reasonable cost. My first conversion when added together ran me close to $1600 including a...

    CurrieTech - How to adjust Dash rear brake??

    The Tektro Auriga e Sub or Ecomp models should work fine I have gotten them from Long Island electric Bikes in the past and the price was right and shipped in record time. Double check your needed hose length as they come precharged and assembled to eliminate the need to bleed, if you need to...

    CurrieTech - How to adjust Dash rear brake??

    Doing hundreds of brake adjustments on all models of bikes I rarely find a need to remove the rear wheel to adjust the inner pads. Sure the hub motor causes clearance issues with disk brake inner pad adjusters designed for conventional hubs but it seems people are missing the obvious here...

    So where will e-bike tech go?

    I sure hope so iain. It wasn't that long ago that I can't remember my frustration trying to realize my dream of an electric bike and the sacrifices along the way trying to scrape up the $1500 it cost me to put together my first conversion. But boy was it worth it as I braved the below zero...

Building my own conversions when the...

    Neo Jet Break Squeal

    The Jet utilizes a hydraulic brake set so contrary to Shea's reply which would be for cable operated disk brakes. Hydraulic disks as on the jet engage both pads via pistons in the caliper when operating correctly both pads advance toward the disk equally and are retracted by a spring insert...
