Always the excuse to post pictures, my fleet of motorized bikes is ready to serve me.
A Fleet must meet the bare minimum of three:
If your fixing on one,
And you break one,
You can still ride one.
More is better, but some spouses object.
With no more yapping, here's the fleet.
Buzzbike!
48cc jackshafted to a 6-speed cluster, full navigation light set w/battery good for hours of riding.
Schwinn Ranger steel frame, everything replaced with quality stuff.
Its been very reliable, the drive is almost bulletproof. Dual collared and dimpled shaft on a reinforced double-plated highly modified SBP bracket, quality bearings, LFaster freewheel crankset with a DITKA ebike HD clutch bearing.
The odometer shows over 1600 miles, that's with the current hardware. Some may remember when it was a scrap bike with a Ryobi diy FD. Its come a long way from that monstrosity.
Its my workhorse, any off-road, bad weather, or my truck is broke for three weeks and we get hungry...
Urban Fatbike!
Its my flagship, a few thousand miles on it. BAFANG BBS02 driving 7 gears.
Has identical lght system w separate battery as my motorbike.
Handlebar layout on both is similiar, as mid-drives they both shift the same way, about same max speed, but performance is much different.
The ebike will chug up a steep hill, but I have to help the motorbike...whereas if I'm helping, I can pedal thru the whole range of power on ebike, getting a hella kick in speed.
The audio for the Fleet sourced from dual Tribit Stormbox MicroII synced in stereo.20W x 2 n your face.
Whizwheels Terratrike!
A 2000 vintage with drum brakes, no front gears...a SRAM DualDrive hub is 3 speed internal / 7-speed derailluer.
Driven by a BAFANG BBS02 this thing is scary! It'll crawl up the steepest hill, and go over 30mph.
How much over, I don't know, got it to 31 in the flats today, and wasn't running highest speed mode. With butt 8" from Earth that is like a gocart with a turbo.
Downhill? OMG at 35 it was all I could stand, especially this wiggly hill, I was smokin' dem drum brakes...
The flags? One is a bandana autographed by Chip Foose.
Did he actually sign it? I dunno.
But he gave it to me.
