I've got a kreak somewhere in my seat, I just cant put my finger on where the noise is coming from, after several goes at retensioning all the nuts and bolts it's still the same so it looks like I'm gonna have to take it all apart and re install using rubber insulators at every metal mating...

Thanks vegaspaddy for the power trans link, I can see it being a better hill climber than what I have, My bike goes up small hills but not the big steep ones of which there are many around here, If I build another powered cruzbike I'll be using the belt drive trans. ozcruza (alias cruzmota)

I just found out by accident while web browsing that the Queensland Transport Department sneekily banned petrol powered bicycles (cruzmota) late last year and here's me been riding around oblivious to the fact, I think it's a step backwards to ban this mode of transport since a lot of the older...

Hi rearengine, That's a really neat looking machine you've built. Beautiful !! My rear wheel is part of the motor and is gear driven, 200watts is like blowing a pencil across a desk,(useless) but legal due to Australia's dim view on powered bicycles. cruzmota

A few years ago I bought a new rigid recumbent and snapped the seat in the first week, It's better to have a shocker under your rear end to soften the blows rather than breaking things like seats and your back

Hi Peder, This motor is a purpose built "Rotary" 200 watt model, designed in Germany, made in Taiwan and assembled in Australia but I'm sure they sell them worldwide, It's governed at 200watts maximum to comply with Australian law governing powered pushbikes, The wattage factor would be the same...

I wouldn't be too keen on the return ride, the "safety in numbers" all goes out the window you're out there by yourself.

Gidday WhiteSilvio, sorry it's taken me soo long to reply, I actually forgot about this side of the page but I'm back, and yes, the bike in the picture is a Learsport BW3000, a real piece of crap with tinny bits and pieces on it, if it wasn't for the cruzbike conversion kit I wouldn't be caught...

Well it's been about 9 months since the Cruzmota went on the road and it's hasn't looked back except for a fuel problem in Jan09, I reckon it was due to synthetic 2 stroke oil degrading the fuel and gumming up the carb so I cleaned out tank and lines and replenished with Stihl 2 stroke blend and...

It's a buzz.....

I have a new accessory on my Cruzbike, It's a 200watt road legal petrol motor to get me up and over those mountains. It's been a year since coming up with the plan to motorize a recumbent and what better bike to do it with than a Cruzbike, So now it's a 2 wheel drive, I dont know if it's the...

Hello !! Is there anybody out there. I have a conversion kit on a cheap mtb and love it to bits, it's great on sealed or unsealed roads and tracks and glides over curbs, check me out if you're in the area....

Very nice looking bike, well done !! Like that Freerider style steering...

Silvio, I just want one !!
