Don 95Vert Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Convert your regular pedal bike to an electric powered bike. I had it on my bike for a few years and it worked great. It'll do 22-25 MPH with pedal assist and maybe 15-18 unassisted. I regularly did 20 mile bike paths on one charge while pedaling to assist. Great for headwinds and great for all but the steepest hills. Amazing torque. This is for a 700C 35 front wheel, I don't think it will fit on any other size. You HAVE to use a bike with steel front forks or risk snapping an aluminum fork off at 20 MPH, which would not end pretty. Has a front wheel with brushless motor, 36v controller, thumb throttle with charge indicator, 36v SLA battery pack and charger and velcro battery case. The batteries are 3 years old and still hold a decent charge, but the range is not what it used to be with fresh batteries. Just did a 20 mile run and it was done just before the end. Batteries+ has them, three small 12v batteries. I suppose you could save weight and get lithium batteries and a charger. You need a rack for the back to hold the battery on your bike, any simple rack should do. It is a 'Wilderness kit' seen here - not sure if the current kits have the same specs: http://www.bernsonev.com/Complete_Wilderness_Electric_Bike_Conversion_Kit_p/965634.htm This does add weight, the motor is not light, nor are the batteries. I can explain installation the way I had it. Nice project, would be great for around OSU. While it worked fine the last time I used it (I am upgrading to a much faster unit) it is sold as-is. You buy it, it is yours. Asking $120 email me at dlasota@columbus.rr.com if you have any questions. http://www.lasotaracing.com/Graphics/SR9C/bike.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
