    llavalle's A4X Build

    Let's connect! Sending you a private message. Doubling the silver piece is interesting. Having a longer torque arm laser cut is pretty easy - Grin has the models on their website, you just remove the lighting pocket and send that to "SendCutSend" :) Funny you mention a Nordic 52840. I...

    llavalle's A4X Build

    ...my bike computer, it’s been working great, and I made it stream the pedal balance figure that’s usually left/right foot, to be human/electric motor balance so the graphs at the end of the ride show the two curves. Working on fine tuning the build still, will share more pics soon. Cheers, Remy

    llavalle's A4X Build

    So 3d printing the Grin All Axle Front was a good idea. As I thought, caliper clearance with the Shimano MT-200 is problematic Spoke spacing on the right is a bit tight but will be ok since the spokes are installed inside on a Grin AA motor The torque arm is a problem though - looks...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    I have the 2019 Q45 with the QR axles. Have put a 1500W front wheel motor with a 52v 20ah battery on the rear. The bike became a recumbent motorcycle.

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    A couple of years ago, I converted my S40 to an ebike with the Bafang motor from Amazon. It was fairly easy to do and the motor is very powerful. I got their largest battery. The point was to do touring and get a little help up the steep grades, but peddle on my own everywhere else. I'm not...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    ...would be awesome to mimic it's functionality but with a throttle to get going easier! Same as others here, I don't want to drive an electric motorcycle, I just need a bit of help on hills of if I'm super tired coming back from too far away :D... I have a 500wh battery on my bike right now...

    Riding a Cruzbike.

    ...keep them on task. If is funny - some people try and skip the steps - thinking they can just pedal right away after they have used the electric motor to get going. Some crash. :) Most cannot do it right away like that and even if they do, it it usually takes them more time feel comfortable...

    T50 Cruzbike for sale - $800

    I bought this bike for my wife and I plan to add an electric motor kit from Electric Bike Solutions. This should make learning how to ride a Cruzbike easier for her - something she has struggled with in the past. I have owned a T50 for years and so I'm familiar with the bike. This bike arrived...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    My 2019 S40 is a QR axle. I have a Bafang front motor kit that I bought on amazon. The page where I bought it is no longer available but they have equivalent kits if you search. Here's some detail of my kit: 48V 500W Front Hub Motor Electric Bike Conversion Kit for 26inch Wheel Drive Engine...

    Electric conversion kit / Q45

    I live in a pretty hilly part of the UK and need some throttle based assistance to help me start on hills and also to give me a bit of a boost on the steeper climbs. Has anyone had any success adding an electric motor to their Q45? If so, which one did you use?

    Bimotal Electric Motor on a Cruzbike?

    ...called Bimotal for a little while now. They have a product called the Elevate (https://bimotal.com/products/elevate) that is a modular electric motor which works on any bike/wheel that has a disc brake mount. The price is wayyy out of my range for the foreseeable future, but it seems like it...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    Wow! Thanks for all the info. Looks like a lot of work and is quite expensive. I may decide to go forward, but not for a year or so. Thanks for your help with this. Bill

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    I successfully converted a 2021 Q45 using the Grin All-Axle front hub motor in 2023. I followed the tips in this thread: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/electric-2021-q45.14218/page-2 Particularly, I got tips in this forum thread on handling the torque arm attachment and on modifying the...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    Grin now looks to have a 12x100mm through axle front hub - that TECHNICALLY could work on the back of a Q45 - though I cannot say for sure, as I have only looked at it briefly, but it looks to be the only actual through axle front hub motor I have seen so far. I am not exactly sure how the...

    Convert Q45 to ebike

    Has anyone tried to convert the Q45 to and ebike using a front wheel conversion package on the back wheel of the Q45? I can't seem to find a package that will work with thru-axles. I previously converted my S40 to an ebike using the following kit that I purchased on Amazon: 48V 500W Front Hub...

    MBB for a SunTrip bike

    I've been riding electric Cruzbikes for over 10 years. Just for fun I put a BBS02 mid drive motor on a Sofrider once and although it worked it wasn't great. The efficiency was equivalent to a rear geared hub motor which I much prefer. The geared hub motor in the rear is the perfect solution for...

    Pinion gearbox

    I had no idea when I started this process that I would have to back off peddling to shift. I find that a serious disadvantage, especially when climbing very steep hills where you have to downshift rapidly while trying to keep your momentum going. I expect I will get better at it over time, but...

    Pinion gearbox

    ...and reliable but it took me some time to get used to stop pedalling for a quarter of a second to shift gears, especially with the electric motor torque there’s no way you can shift under load. Now it’s second nature to me. The speedhub, considering its price, is a bit overkill on this bike...
