Here's a picture of my latest build, a 2wd delta trike. Pedal power is routed from the crank thru a jackshaft to the left side. The right rear wheel has a 500 watt Bafang geared hub motor. It uses a 17.5 AH 48 volt battery. Using power level 1 and pedaling speed ranges around 17 kph or just a...

I started out 3 years ago with a BionX HD 500 road bike, an EVO disc brake model with 700C tires. Rode that for about 1 year then transfered the hub drive and battery into a tadpole trike I built over one winter. 1000 km's were put on the DF bike and in the ensuing 2 years another 1500 plus km's...

I just helped a friend install a Tongsheng 500 mid drive motor on his Schwinn 29er. Easy install, it does not have a throttle, instead its a torque sensing unit with 4 levels of power. So you must pedal it. We got it from Roshan at Biktrix located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. This is the...

I have decided to use the brakes and electrics on my Bionx 500 equipped EVO road bike and build a 3 wheeled electric recumbent trike. I bought the plans, got the steel tube and have started the project. The style is called a tadploe trike which means the 2 wheels are in front and 1 wheel in...

I own 2 e bikes, one is an EVO road bike equipped with a Bion X HD500 hub motor running 700c tires and no suspension other than a Cane Creek short travel Thudbuster. The 2nd is a KHS 500 fat tire bike equipped with a Bafang 1000 watt mid drive motor running 26 by 4" tires and no suspension...

Well i ordered a Thudbuster ST 27.2 for my BionX equipped road bike and tried it out today on a short 15 mile trip to a local bike store. the roads here are in pretty bad shape and having a rigid bike with 7ooc tires at 90psi offers no give. Very nice, it took away the sharp jabs to the back and...

On my Friday and Saturday off this week I decided to make a simple stand for transporting my fat bike in the back of my truck. So a 55" length of 3/4" square tubing laid across the floor of the truck at the cab end, with a cradle with an inside diameter wide enough to fit the 4" wide Big Daddy...

Proud owner of now 2 e-bikes, one for the road and commuting to work an EVO HB1 disc with the BionX 500 rear hub motor, it has about 1,600 km's on it and has been trouble free. And my fat bike I just put together with a Bafang BBSHD mid drive which is going to be my weekend fun/dirt bike. I...

Well i took my KHS500 fat bike to the local bike shop yesterday to have the bottom bracket removed. This to check it to see if the bike is a candidate for a BBSHD 1000 w mid drive motor. And it is. These motors work best on bikes with a JIS/BSA threaded bottom bracket. There are adapters made...

The last few days when I come to this site I first get a message saying my IP address has been banned. When I hit log in it then connects. Anyone else having this issue?

I,m heading down to my local bike shop to pick up a little cool weather gear in a few minutes. The temperature in the mornings when i ride to work is averaging 3 to 5 degrees Celcius which is just a little above freezing. So a pair of insulated gloves and some type of an insulated skullcap to...

I have a Giant Talon mountain bike that i would like to install a small 250 to 350 watt geared hub motor in the front. Only problem is that the bike has 27.5 wheels and 32 spokes and so far all the hub motors I,ve seen have 36 spokes. So far my search for an aftermarket rim has been...

I have a road bike I bought very early this spring, it has 700C tires, I have a bit over a thousand km,s on it and really enjoy it. I also bought a Giant Talon 2 MTB Purchased a bit later that I bought to ride with a good friend. The Talon was going to get a Bafang mid drive installed but then...

I have lost 4 tail lights so far. One never even made it to the bike it just fell apart. Next one when I hit a bump the lens and leds fell out and before I could get them a car ran them over. Second was a good quality usb rechargeable light. That one I think fell out of my pannier bag on the...

I measure the cost of my equipment by a very simple method. Take the buy in and divide by the usage. My bion x 500 powered bike cost me including tax and some extras about 4500. It just turned over its first 1000 kilometers used mostly as a commuter. Minus the parking fees I did not have to pay...

I noticed my helmet had a couple of cracks in it so I decided to pick up a replacement. Got a Bontrager Solstice MIPS. Feels quite comfortable and I hope I never need to test it out. Took a look at my old helmet before I tossed it and the sticker said 1994. 22 years not bad, if the new one...

I ride 2 different bikes to work, the electric from home when its not forecast to rain a lot and my mountain bike when it is raining, that one gets placed in the back of the truck and gets ridden a mile or so to allow free parking. Thats on rainy days. I have panniers for the locks, battery...

I,ve been riding my e bike to work for a couple of weeks now. trying out various routes and power assist levels. Got the time each way from 35 to 50 minutes and have put a bit over 300 km's on. And got the first flat. The bike has e bike rated Schwabe Marathon tires that are puncture resistant...

I took my road bike which is an EVO HB1 disc out for a good test ride today. I live in Winnipeg which is in the province of Manitoba, today the temp was 4 degrees Celcius with occasional drizzle. I'm planning to ride to work, a distance of a little over 12 kilometers, pretty much flat all the...

I just put money down on a new evo toba HB1 disc. It has the Bion X 500 WD drive and a 48volt 11.6Ap battery. It is still winter here so I won,t be picking it up for a couple of months and I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this e-bike
