...turn against something. You can't just replace the axle with the one in the conversion kit. You may find a geared axle for rear wheel electric motors but i'm not sure, and i don't know if it's gonna cheap. You might have to buy the whole rear electric hub and deal with having an inelegant...

...trike came with a large wire basket for the back, which my wife refuses to be seen with. Future mods include possible addition of an electric motor, controller, and battery to drive the sprocket on the rear axle. That could make it a nice utility vehicle for a run to the shops in a hilly...

I've done 4 electric CB conversions Here are some pix: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=20604953@N06&q=Electric%20sofrider http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=ESofrider&w=20604953@N06 http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Equest&w=20604953@N06 They are...

Test rode my first electric bike last week http://www.revelobikes.com/ and was impressed with hub motor. Did a search for cruzbike electric conversion and found some very nice designs from several years ago but nothing current. Are there any Cruzbikers tinkering with electrical assists for...

Hi everyone. My name is Laurent from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I'm 62 years old. I purchased this Sofrider V2 in april 2009. On the very first try, I was so frustrated not being able to ride, I wanted to ship it back. Since the amount of money invested was important to me I decided not to...

...were pin joins, then yes, it would retain more strength in the brief moment when it the suspension has compresssed. If there were an electric motor providing constant torque instead of a human pedalling we might run into difficulties with loading a deformed chainstay. But pin joints are...

...mechanism sits between the front of the seat's base and the lower clamp on the steering tube. Also visible is the 250-watt electric motor on the rear wheel and the battery stuffed in behind the lower part of the seat back. At the rear of the bike is a top box made from the grass...

Hello all, I live in Canada in a town that lacks that ability to really clean the roads. This leaves me in some deeper snow with lots of hidden ice. For the most part I don't want to be cruzbiking (even with the studded tires) So I'm thinking about putting a "trike" back end on, and...

search for hilltopper electric bike kit. prices vary from what you want $149+, just for the motor, but basically I got a motor and built up a wheel myself and bought some of the components. I use the electric wheel to assist me (while pedaling) to go up a hill or start from stop on an...

...can become harder than starting a heavy LHT, I would think. But there are ways - in principle - to attack the problem: a) add an electric motor in the back wheel hub - like the BionX system b) Cruzbike finally would present the CruzTRIKE (two back wheels of course), where you would not...

...to give e-bikes the feel and handling of a 'normal' bike, combining user-friendliness with a clean design. The group includes a 250W electric motor that will help get you up to speed but cuts out at 15.5mph (25km/h), with a regenerative braking function that charges the battery as you ride...

If your fork is made of iron, then you might be able to weld it on.

I'd like to have front disc brakes on my conversion-kit Cruzbike. (I am planning a electric hub motor in the rear, so I want to have great stopping power) Are there any front forks (or bolt-on brakes?) that permit using a disc-brake hub, with the Cruzbike system?

Hi Jon; I dearly wish you might have some first hand experience driving their 250 watt version. Maybe we could start a band of outlaws in Australia willing to fudge a little on the 180 watt limit. I can see it now, " Australian Green police ran down a band of outlaws running 250 watt electric...

I am pretty sure that BionX, a hub motor :o 8-) will fit into 250 watt limitations. If you have a conversion or version1 with a normal width rear axle, then i am sure you could put something there to drive the rear wheel. I remember something about a hidden electric assist that applied it's...

Pretty clear here we are all bullish on Electrics. JohnTolhurst, I don't think of you as a class 3 (sport bike tinkerer.) So you are out of order posting at this site. LOL Doug deserves his own special category too. (But lets don't go there right now) :lol: Seriously, With all else that you...

I agree that power assist is a good sub class - I'm thinking of going electric assist in the longer term for my non leisure rides. ie for commuting and load hauling shopping/recycling). I would like assist for the hills on the way into work to reduce my commute time down to under an hour and...

Power assist does adapt well on many of the Cruzbike models. One problem which you mentioned is what you are allowed to use so it still qualifies as a bike. In Australia they are only allowed 180 W power and in EU only 250 W and you have to pedal or the assist stops. Is there a gasoline powered...

I have thought several times about getting an electric assist for my Sofrider V1. That has been in the winter when those thoughts have been there with slippery conditions. This winter has been very cold it’s over 20 years ago since it‘s been so cold. There have also been very slippery conditions...

Not going to well and I'm beginning to think I shall abandon the whole project. I risked going down the hill a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't get back up without skidding! It's steep. I had to get off and walk which I never have to do on my other bike. Last weekend I swapped the back wheel...
