Like Jack said, lower is more fun ... My Cruzbike Kit went on this NEXT TIARA bike from W/Mart.. I have had it on other frames since, but thinking of putting it back on the TIARA,( :idea: with rear electric hub motor) The top bar is about 23" when loaded.. If I didn't already have the kit...

...Brompton. There is no way I would be cycling as much as this if I used my old Claude Butler. Then two years ago I put a small Tongxin electric motor in my Brompton. This gives real versatility in integrated transport as I have taken it on trains and buses and I can still get up the hill to...

"I think Australia has some ridiculous limits to minimum power for licensing of bicycles." Sadly we do, 200w electric or equivalent in petrol. But, we are working on it, hoping for both an increase in the non-licensed size, and perhaps a low power registration category - would make for a very...

...and just recently I bought a pair of nutek airless tires and I am trying them out on the bike. The bike is heavy for sure but the electric motor kit sure helps on hills around here and it is really easy to swap a regular wheel in an out if I just want to go for a ride. I have a few more...

My goal is to get a cruzbike mated with an xtracycle with an efficient no drag electric motor system built in. Seems like I need to forgo the rear suspension in order to carry a passenger from what I have been reading. Would this frame work with the conversion kit. how much extra is the...

My request for at long distance bike was large wheel's. 20" tyre has a higher risk to puncture. I have two candidates for this job the Silvio (28") and the Tripendo (26"). The El~Silvio have cost me 36.000Dkr, and the El~Tripendo would have cost 10.900?. I could use the standard front wheel 28"...

The Answer: The Speed improvements ;) I have now a half year exerience with the Silvio, where I have used it at my prime move for 2x 30km distance every day. I have normally wind against me when I go home. If I have 8-10 m/sek it will increased my travel time with 20-27 min compare to...

From http://www.onlineconversion.com/power.htm, 2 horsepower [international] = 1 491.399 74 watt. I doubt that's legal in any first-world nation, but you probably won't be in trouble until you get stopped for something else. Also, friction-drive is simple but inefficient, so you may not be...

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

Cruzmota That is a great looking bike.. Is it gear driven or chain drive. The engine sets down nice and low witch is a good thing . to bad we don't live closer , We could drag for a beer :lol: I just put a gas engine on my Mongoose. Today was pretty nice out, so I took it for a spin...

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...

It seems you have a good solution, who makes the motor? You’re not the only one with 2WD there are some with electric assist on some Cruzbikes. http://www.bobmcree.com/the_electric_cruzbike.html Some systems are too powerful to be legal in EU what motor did you mount? This model you have should...

Interesting if it passes. Depending on the size of the credit and other wiggle stuff, it might spark a boost in electric bikes/trikes, possibly with full fairings.

I suspect you're right abuot the electric assist. I saw a guy riding a mountain bike the other day and I was impressed with the way he was moving, until I saw the motor. Cheatin', that's what it is! :lol: Mark

I contributed to a solar/electric vehicle project for the GM Sunrayce competition years ago and have worked on one other interesting electric vehicle project, so I have a bit of experience here. I have been considering a few electric bicycle options as well. Still, I am no expert, so caveat...

i found a site that has a frontwheel electric motor. That should easily fit the rearwheel of a stock cruzbike. http://www.ecomoto.net/Electric-Bike-Hub-Motor-Kits.html

this saturday i saw an electric bike with the motor in the rear hub and a 3? gear derailure contected to the hub. Besides being utter crap, this allows you to put 2 electric motors on one bike, making it go ultra turbo jet.

...maybe an electric motor on the back wheel would help - two wheel drive.. ;-) Currystomper

Hi JonB, happened to see this on TV recently- uses the office chair hydraulics http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/txt/s2206272.htm Australian inventor... ;) regards Kendrick
