Folding electric bicycle (ebike) 36 volt 500 watt 45 km/h speed 90 km range
BR>
thecomingdepression.net This is my new method of transportation until Winter months a folding electric bicycle I assembled and planned myself! Stats: 36 volt 20 amp hour battery (LIFEPO4 chemistry) 500 watt 36 volt brushless motor Folding bicycle geometry I hope it inspires more people to build similar units to defeat high gas prices and traffic congestion! Please send me a message if you are interested in more about this!
Available in Canada as ” E-Rider” it is the same as the “RAW” chopper sold in the US – The difference is … The legally required label in BOTH “Official” Languages here in Canada likely doesn’t come on that one, and by the time you pay DUTY, shipping & TAXES etc. the prices are seemingly similar ? So go through your favorite local Bike Shop & be sure they (verb/google) the Canadian distributor – Belize Bicycle

may? be next time you can focus on other place but not the floor……….
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:15 pmHow about? LIFEpo4 batteries? I think they are only made in China.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:23 pmYou can order electric bicycle motor kits? in North America.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:58 pmGREAT! AWESOME! Keep me up? to date. Sorry about the long delay. I need to msg you offline.
September 2nd, 2012 at 8:16 pm– CAP, let me dig around Dallas for a little bit. We have some pretty? big electrical outfits here that maybe able to source parts/lead me in a direction or what not. Most likely most of their stuff comes from the C also; but we have some pretty smart country bumpkins around here that may have some DIY shops. PS. I have sent your video around for some entrepreneur alerts so if I hear anything ill let you know.
September 2nd, 2012 at 8:47 pmHmm that is interesting. I’m in Canada. Not sure what we could have you do in TX. The parts are made in China so we’d have to import stuff. Not a pretty picture after duty and charges. Damn? China!
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:42 pm– Hey CAP im in Texas. I am to broke to invest but I can help put together a business plan if you need it. Their also might be some people in? Texas that might be interested.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:11 pmsend? me a msg. where are you located?
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:19 pmYeah the? batteries are the limiting factor. Good job on the bike build.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:59 pmOnes you get from the store are not good. Battery? range is shit.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:27 pmI was joking bro. PEP Boy use to sell a 500 watt elec scooter that seemed like it would be good for something. I? almost bought one to play with.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:41 pmIf you have to go to work where there are no showers you don’t want to pedal the bike.
Your argument goes like this: Why don’t you save humanity and kill yourself so you don’t? take up too much air?
September 3rd, 2012 at 12:07 amSave coal! Pedal? the bike!
September 3rd, 2012 at 12:12 amha ha you are full? of shit

September 3rd, 2012 at 1:46 amyou are my kind of dude. inspires? Lets go? into production! Maybe you can partner with MAKE MAGAZINE AND DO A KIT?
September 3rd, 2012 at 1:49 amSHARED.?
September 3rd, 2012 at 1:52 amNext video I will show more about this. Spread this video and stay? tuned.
The wires do not interfere at all.
September 3rd, 2012 at 1:58 amhmm not here in Cali….how? does it fold with all the wires?
September 3rd, 2012 at 2:44 amYou forgot that this bike folds so you can bring it into stores, etc.? No worry about being stolen.
September 3rd, 2012 at 3:37 amI don’t? know where you live, but I am in Canada. I think Mopeds need insurance.
September 3rd, 2012 at 3:51 amyeah no need 4 insurance, and they have a? 1-time registration fee of 25$ no need for a D.L. either, gas is nothing, which is good for me. But if it works in the rain then i might have to check it out a bit more.
September 3rd, 2012 at 4:14 amFUCK CARS! we need to build these in NORTH AMERICA! Open motor making plants so we can all have bikes like these!?
September 3rd, 2012 at 5:13 amI am not a fan of paying insurance/gas/insane maintenance from garages. Yes, I can ride it in the rain but I keep the electrics in? bags.
September 3rd, 2012 at 5:20 amWith the north-american-fuse it now maintains? about 40 km/hr on flat runs at full throttle & fully inflated tires. I usually just start pedaling & the motor kicks right in from the charge you are providing. This increases distance U can go on single charge & will assist when discharged & pedaling home; slower, but helpful. I went with SLA batteries for more torque at lights for throttle. I have had it up to 50+ k/ph but my downhill was twisty & steep.
September 3rd, 2012 at 5:55 amI weigh 170 pounds.
It’s a fun E-Chopper !
is it fast ?
September 3rd, 2012 at 6:24 amhow? heavy are you?
@1998bigben
September 3rd, 2012 at 6:59 amI had fun riding it last summer, and with the chinese 20 amp fuse? it would easily go @ 35 Km/hr – I blew that pedal-assisting it up a steep 70 degree & long slope and after replacing it with locally made automotive fuse, she goes 40+
She’s long from stem to stern & after putting 300+ Km on it with no regard for railroad tracks, has a wee bend at the forks stresspoint.
I hope to do a short update vid soon if free time shows up.
Sorry so late replying – life got hectic.
is it worth it for 700 bucks? and how much? does it go in mph?
September 3rd, 2012 at 7:44 amYou’re going to have to figure out a way to mount that camera and take us with you on a nature ride… Sweet looking E-bike ..? Congrats! ..
