Hello all. I'm from San Diego, and have been working on electric bikes for fun for a few years now. My history in ebikes:
-A 12 volt Zap system on a Greenspeed trike; big lead acid battery, two brushed motors
-A 24 volt Currie ProDrive conversion on a trailer (so I could leave the bike unmodified)
-A Wavecrest M-750X nimh based bike. This has since had a li-ion battery added to it.
-A homebrew bike, with Townie 8 frame (long wheelbase) Crystalyte X-5304 rear hub motor, Xlyte controller and a 38.4 amp hour 36 volt li-ion battery up front. (Switchable to a 72 volt system when the need for speed strikes me.)
Pictures of the last two are in the pictures forum. Future improvements include a better power regulator for the li-ion batteries and a PPT solar charger for the 36 volt system.
