    The"Tech tree".

    It hit me one day when browsing a science fiction site, there was a photoshopped picture of Arthur C Clarke in a crowd of people wearing "Flash Gordan" style clothes- how different would things be now if we hadn't taken the "Fossi Fuel' route. For instance, if some esoteric(or not particularly...

    Screwed again!

    Just got screwed on EBAY, I bought a Tire plus tube, the tire came with no innertube, the tire is fine the trouble is I paid almost$98 for a single tire, the ad header said in English "., Tire plus tube"., if the vendor does not make it good I will list the vendors name ( is that allowed?)

    Current project

    Well looks like another one is going to bite the dust, the donor bike turned out to be such a low-quality affair after a lot of fiddle-faddle modifying things, running down parts, a test run on the 85% completed bike proved to me this, put it back stock( or close, probably will put a quieter...

    Hyper handle bars

    The "Hyper" ebike build I am trying to finish has a few things that are rather troubling,I made a satisfactory mount on the battery using a "Schwinn" seat post rack only trouble the post is at the minimum insertion depth( seems to be plenty there to hold it though) my "sweep " handlebar is a bit...

    Used what we had

    Well I had this 1500 watt rear hub wheel laying around( the rim was pretty narrow so I put a 26x 2.1 knobby on it, it went on the back of the 27.5 fairly easy, that's when the head-scratching and "rigging" begin, the donor bike had rim brakes and it seems that they will not touch the new rim...

    Frustration

    Ok, I have a 135mm x26" rearwheel 1500 watt motor with a new MTB tire, would it work alright on a 27.5 bicycle frame to make a "Mullet" of sorts( its a cheap hybrid or MTB frame)? I simply cannot get this motor wheel combo to work on any low cost cruisers and I want to use it for something( its...

    Huffy redux

    The Huffy "Hyper" cruiser build is finally starting to come together, thing is on a low end bike this stuff is more difficult than one would be led to believe, the first problem was no clearance for the 7 spd freewheel in the chainstay, got a hyper low 6 spd, more or less solved that, Then after...

    "The best laid plans of mice and man,." Huffy conversion in Limbo(can I use a 500watt 36 volt controller with my 48 volt rack battery?)

    Will the 36 volt controller work with my 48 volt battery, the Violamart wheel wouldn't work on the "Hyper"? I do not want to buy anything else I have a spare parts build and nicer new bike bui;d trying to come along.I guess if everything works out it will be a FWD 20 AH build.
