http://thecomingdepression.net This is my new method of transportation until Winter months: a folding electric bicycle I assembled and planned myself!

Stats:
36 volt 20 amp hour battery (LIFEPO4 chemistry)
500 watt 36 volt brushless motor
Folding bicycle geometry

I hope it inspires more people to build similar units to defeat high gas prices and traffic congestion!

Please send me a message if you are interested in more about this!

  • may be next time you can focus on other place but not the floor..........

  • @74orangebeetle How about LIFEpo4 batteries? I think they are only made in China.

  • @captplanut You can order electric bicycle motor kits in North America.

  • @LoveBringsTruth GREAT! AWESOME! Keep me up to date. Sorry about the long delay. I need to msg you offline.

  • @captplanut - CAP, let me dig around Dallas for a little bit. We have some pretty big electrical outfits here that maybe able to source parts/lead me in a direction or what not. Most likely most of their stuff comes from the C also; but we have some pretty smart country bumpkins around here that may have some DIY shops. PS. I have sent your video around for some entrepreneur alerts so if I hear anything ill let you know.

  • @LoveBringsTruth Hmm that is interesting. I'm in Canada. Not sure what we could have you do in TX. The parts are made in China so we'd have to import stuff. Not a pretty picture after duty and charges. Damn China!

  • @captplanut - Hey CAP im in Texas. I am to broke to invest but I can help put together a business plan if you need it. Their also might be some people in Texas that might be interested.

  • @LoveBringsTruth send me a msg. where are you located?

  • @captplanut Yeah the batteries are the limiting factor. Good job on the bike build.

  • @hawkermustang Ones you get from the store are not good. Battery range is shit.
