Some guy in Australia

[BrassoMan]

Hey guys, Ive had my motorised bicycle for a few months now and I think I'm addicted to it. At the moment, the back wheel is buggered so I had to get a new one but the new one is disc brake compatible, so I need to get some new parts for it but should hopefully be alot stronger than the standard method of mounting it to the spokes.

I was on the other MB forum, thought it was the only one. Seems there are alot of Aussies on this forum. xD

Hi and welcome to MBc.
Yes there are quite a few Aussies here, might be a good time to read up and for solidarity with the legislation pending down there.

Im in Sydney, NSW. I got a Z80 engine kit from ZBOX, I think Im having more problems with it than I should but everyone time i fix something, it usually gets better than it was before it was broken.

Hey BrassoMan,

I got the same Zbox, and I think you'll be travelling a similar route I have.
Fix it, break it, fix it, break it, hopefully make it better...enjoy.

I got a Z50 from zbox, kicking myself for not getting the z80.

Welcome Brassoman.
It takes a couple on hundred kilometers for all of the bits to stop stretching, them things will settle down a bit.It's always a good idea to give to bike and motor a once over with a spanner every 100 kilometers.

Haha, ok. What speeds do you get without pedalling on flat and with which sprocket etc?

Is the Z50 noticeably less powerful than the Z80? I heard theyre pretty much the same and that the Z50 might have a better top-end.

Yeah, the engine has kinda slipped out of its mounts sometimes making it really rattly and even lost a few nuts, but luckily had some spares.

I think it has just abit more torque/kw's then mine. Its quick, ive hit 49.9 kph according to my speedo and a good set of brake's are needed.

Dam, thats fast. So the Z80 would be better for climbing hills and pushing large objects?
