Electric Bicycle Ride

[edsalterego]

Any home-built, three-wheeled, electric "bicycle" that makes a Japanese crotch rocket motorcycle look safe by comparison gets two thumbs up from me! Cool project. Juvenile? Yes.  Stupid? Absolutely. Manly -- without a doubt. Can't wait to see what you dream up next.

Aloha AJ, looks like great fun! As a yank its weird to watch you on the left side of the road. Makes it look even more dangerous. And I agree with the first guy, You Rock!

[brainchopper]

Hey Jester, fantastic story and accomplishment, my hat goes off to you man. Electric power is where its at, and your bike is a fantastic look into the future. You've shown that everyone can have a cool form of transport if they have a bit of vision and are not afraid to take some chances. Your showing the way to get the job done right....Cheers

kissmyhho...cheers mate ;-) i'm more iinterested in oober fast accelration. Im an ex-motorcycle racer so am very well aware of what happens when comming off at speed :: wink:: this frame is also built out of ALOT heavier tube than your average bicycle ;-) ... if your not already a member of endless sphere website join up some fantastic fellas there with same interests as ourselves and a HEAP of recumbent riders, Thx again for your interest :-)

[kissmyhho]

gday

just a quick word to say well done. i have had my trike recumbent upto 70 kmh and i beleive it will do over 100kmh. it is 48 volt with a 35amp speed controller. one word of warning though. if you have an accident at these speeds you will have big problems. i am only interested in under 50kmh as these light wheels and frames frames can not handle unexpected bumps in the road and as you increase the speed the forces become exponential . example 40kmh = 1 force and 80kmh= 15 times the force

[AussieJester69]

jinprice09...Have had it upto 79km/hr thus far using second gear, i have 3 gears but until now (yesterday) i haven't had a shifter installed and wasn't able to change through the gears when 'mobile' Shall have some new top speeds coming soon i think...off to finish fitting brakes and electrics now...

[jimprice09]

nice man :)

how fast you goes?

[AussieJester69]

kingboyok & rainey06au appreciate the interest and comments ;-) Keep an eye out i hope to have new footage up within the next week or so of complete re-built/painted and lightened trike (80% back together now) Shall DEFINITELY have that 100meter run up to kingboyok..cheerz again fellas ;-)

[rainey06au]

5 stars! That trike rocks... found the video from OCAU, nice work mate.

[kingboyok]

that coll dude!!!!!

most impressive thing is that you built it yourself :)

i'll suscride and hope to see you do 100, that'd be awesome

keep up the good work!

[AussieJester69]

HAHA cheers Yorky but your wrong YOU F*****G ROCK!!11111 Happy with the performance choppersrule1 will be alot quicker on the downhill runz when i can get second and third gear, i have hit 79km/hr in second before so its well capable...i think 90-100kmkm/hr would be doable in 3rd...now, whether I personally want to be on the trike at that speed remains to be seen... cheers fellas..

[choppersrule1]

dude looks great i should have my electric trike up and running soon i hope i can get the same speed you have. ac/dc ROCKS

[yorky2010]

AJ, did I ever tell you that YOU ROCK??!!
