Hello everyone.
Love the site.
It is nice to know I am not the only lunatic out there.
I love powering up bikes. I have old two-strokes from Europe, new two strokes from China, and Cyclone electric converts on new and old bikes, a tandem and a trike.
I am currently struggling to convert my unicycle so if anyone has any ideas.....
Have you seen the electric bikes in the Isle f Mann this year. ubercool.
Woody is actually the name of my favorite bike. He is a limited edition Kona 88 shop style bike. It came with a lockable glovebox and wooden wheels and I have fitted a recycled Rimu ( nice NZ native timber like a hard red pine) which is why it is "Woody". My wife says that I treat Woody like a member of the family and she is quite uncomfortable with it. Oh well, as Woody grows up maybe they will get on better......
I have also fitted motorbike head and tail lights with low and high beam, and because they are running at 29V ( 24V LiFePO4 fully charged) they are way bright. I look like a 737 coming into land.
It also has a Panasonic car stereo with USB and a remote. The USB is a really good idea because when riding the CD skips and the radio gets interference from the motor. (needs a filter) But the USB is really stable and interestingly uses about 5W less than either radio or CD. 10W at full volume. That means with a 24V 10AH battery it runs for 24Hours, with two on-board 48 hours. Cool. The stereo removes from the bike as do the batteries so it is a mobile sound system. It takes a microphone or guitar through the aux port.
It needs a wee bit to be finished. I am making ammo case battery boxes with control circuits and cigarette lighter sockets. It will have the option to carry one or two depending on your journey.
It has a 500W cyclone motor and does about 35kph with a 20km range with one battery, 40 with 2.
I will also fit wooden veneer to the side panels and speaker surrounds.
Well I guess that is me. I will post some more photos or have a look at a **** video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihG7FRMPs5M
I guess in the interest of open and honest discussion I should also mention I am the proud distributor/dealer of Cyclone products in NZ. Although I should mention I am logged on this for fun only and only sell Cyclone because I love them and can offset some money towards more bikes.
All I want is a warm bed, a kind word and unlimited power...........
