Paul's commuter Ebike #2

I actually ride the ebike this time. I don't know how fast it was going, but it felt scary. Ol' bessy got angry about going in. She wasn't ready! She wanted to ride some more.

Nice bike! Could you like tell me where to get a brushless hub motor to convert my schwinn bike. Thanks. Oh I live in Illinois and am just wondering if you happen to know just how much power am I allowed so as not to go over what the law allows.

@alienpatentoffice I think the power is limited to 750 watt to be legal I think. I buy from ebikes(dot)ca

hey paul, i have a slim and light weight racing bike u think i could do the ebike conversion on it?

[MPaulHolmes]

Do you live around Olympia?

[pr0udp3rv3rt]

Olympia?...nah man i live in the Middle East

[MPaulHolmes]

Ya, shipping might be sort of expensive.

In ontario, the legal limit is a 500 watt motor, that cannot exceed 32km/h

[alienpatentoffice]

it seems to be going 25 to 30 mph

[toolongtoremember]

yes

[toolongtoremember]

not quite 700c i dont think... theyre only 26 inch

[toolongtoremember]

Lol, I want to do that... but it depends on the wheels, spokes are never standard on racers, there "should" be enough clearance for the hub.... but do check, get a specification and measure youself

[pr0udp3rv3rt]

i have aluminium alloy :(....so i guess i cant do it unless i get a really slim motor

[DVMsucks]

well with steel forks you can, and i have, but only do it if the motor is just a little bit wider the the forks hold, and if the biike is aluminum or carbon then you shouldn't be pulling them.

[pr0udp3rv3rt]

yeah dude ur right...my bikes prongs r pretty narrow.....would it hurt if i pull then wider?
