Thank you- good input. I was visiting the ebikes.ca / Grin website a few days ago. It would be neat to hear from someone that has converted the Bafang rear hub to torque sensing. Adding the regen capability would be cool too, as I have no intention of riding the machine without some...

Nice find! The socket design looks like they will be movable to an impact without breaking. They also look to have enough height and adjustment for clear view over the arms. I will have to try a set! If they are solid enough, I will try them on the duel sport motorcycles too. Thanks...

Some great finds!

Thanks. Good input- Neat build.

Very interesting! Bar taper no doubt complicates things.. off road dirtbikes have very stout aluminum handlebar mount clamps for hand guards... They could be adapted if additional rigidity were needed... Hmmm. Good find

Thank you... I was just asking about this very subject. Have you converted a hub motor to a torque sensor already? I converted a mountain bike with the Tongshen kit.. I think the type of assist it offers is excellent compared to the cadence sensor.

I know that there are newer Bafang systems that now use both sensors, but has anyone modified an existing cadence sensor system to include a torque sensor? I have read here and there about dropout mounted torque sensors. It would be great to modify my existing Rad bike or any other new hub...

Yeah, crashing on stout mirrors or a windshield would really suck alright. They are due an increase in caution for sure. I mount the motorcycle windshields very far forward and at a rear tilting angle. They can still set uncomfortably close to the neck while in a standing position. I have...

Time is such a limiting factor for me. Too many sports and interests to properly focus on a really worthy project such as a frame construction or a true innovative original setup.. I can see creations in my minds eye, like opposing cone variable ratio or fractional HP variable pulley...

I was wondering about moped style mirrors that do a vertical rise from the brake perch area. If they are high enough to clear the forearms they will give great reflective field of vision. I cant find a helmet mirror that lasts. I may try mounting small mirrors off of an installed windshield...

I spent a lot of money back in the day riding Bultaco's. I was paying $54 for a Mahle pistons while Rm and Yz pistons were $8! I burned through 250 Pursang connecting rods like they were designed for self destruction! (broken transmissions, busted fiberglass, mangled pipes etc) I worked in a...

Neat bike!

They also have a 1300cc Suzuki Bandit powered machine. They are real eye openers for experiencing acceleration. When ridding a power wheelie you feel like your on a ladder. I need double shoulder surgeries so I stay off the dirt bikes.. otherwise I would still be doing hard enduro and...

That is indeed a Husky. I still service and rebuild dirt bike engines and suspension part time, so there is usually a pretty good variety of machines setting about. I am doing the service work for our local national hillclimb team: "SOB Racing" (Southern Oregon Boys) Here is an example pic of...

Hey all- I have been exploring the idea of building my own E-mountain bike for rough conditions. I have mountain bike rode thousands of miles, but most of my experience is on motorized dirt bikes and older mountain bikes, back when I was really into it. (early 90s) So most of my newer tech...

We also have a fairly busy highway with shoulders 199 / Redwood Hwy. I have rode on it for quite a few years when I have no other alternative, but its not pleasant or low stress for sure. No way that I would take my wife on it. I am going to pick up a tiny enclosed trailer just for the Ebikes...

Good input. How about the small led's in the wheels for side viability? I have never used the pedal/ankle or the wheel lamps.

Thank you. I will do future posts on builds and ideas!
