I think I mentioned a few days ago, that I built an Ebike. It started off I saw a cheap bike for sale on Craigslist. I bought it rode it a couple times and gave it to my son. It's a nice bike with a cheap drive kit. I decided I wanted something with a little more go power! So the old hot rodder in me decided I'd build one. Again, I scoured Craigslist and the internet. I almost bought a retail Ebike. But then I found this Gravity mountain bike for sale for $200! Sadly, bikes.com bought them out, cheapen the parts and sells them for $399.00. I got lucky, this is an original that sold for $1299 new! I rode the bike and bought it right away.
The Bafang motor kit was expensive. Complete it was about $1400! But it's a quality kit and worth the money!
I've got it to the point I can ride it, but I've got lot more work to do to get it where I want it. But I'll have all damn winter to tinker with it...grrrr and look at it and pine for spring lol!
I've put about 10 miles on it so far. Going to take a while to build up my strength. My sciatic nerve issues has gotten to the point I can't walk any distance anymore, but I can ride a bike with no problem! And it helps dampen my desire to own another motorcycle, of which I'm just to rickety to chance one.
Ok, I won't bore you with details, here's a couple pics: Check out the seat! ( just right for a tired out out butt! )
