Electric bike drifting and burnouts from the past 9 months in Canada
How many smiles per hour do you guess ?
(make your guess in the comments section!).
This is my custom made mid-drive kit mounted on a 1998 Specialized FSR which is one half to about one third the weight of similar performance hub motor, although my gear ratio is maximized for minimal power draw, I dont think a hub motor could compare in energy usage savings.
Total e bike weight varies from 38 - 42 lbs depending on setup.
Drive sprockets are 7T on motor with 95T on the crank
Two chainrings upfront - 18T and 38T
9 speed cassette
162mm cranks
Almost any pedicab, recumbent, tandem, velomobile, trike, or cargo bike can have this system installed.
I like to see another retail or DIY e bike perform whats shown in this video, while only affording a sub $500 amount ?
And also light enough that a person can carry on one shoulder ?
Plus this electric bike is also :
solar powered capable I did another test to find the minimum amount of solar energy needed to power my e bike forward, and was surprised that just 15 watts is all that was needed!
again lets see another e-bike run on 15 watts of solar PV!
