I HAVE A BIKE FOR MY PROJECT!!!

This is my bike:D My great sister and her hubby picked it up for me today!!! I got it for FREE off of www.freecycle.org ....def check that site out:D The bike seems in good shape from what I can tell by way of pictures!


It needs a new chain but that is a simple issue I hope:D


The frame is set up a lot like the example videos bike! This I hope will work to my advantage when tryin to figure out how to mount the motor and other parts for the bike to work! :D

I am anxious to get this running with gas prices going up so fast!!!
I will keep you posted!

Possible how-to build an electric bike!!!

I have got to study how others make their bikes electric....I found this video and it was very helpful! I just need to get the parts together now and recruit a friend to help me:D If you know where I can find any of these parts relatively cheap please let me know! :D

Going back to 2 wheels???

When we were young the only way to get around without depending on our parents was our bike! Unless we walked..but biking was so much faster! With the price of gas continuing to rise....I am highly considering going back to 2 wheels! I am looking to do it in a different way than before tho! I am going to attempt an electric bike! This is a bike that I will be able to pedal as well as run on electric power! There are electric scooters and bikes that do not allow you to pedal along as well. This causes a problem if for whatever reason you run out of your charge! This way....if I happen to run out of a charge while on my bike...I can use my own power to get where I'm going! Another plus is that I also get exercise on an electric bike instead of just sitting and being along for the ride. So if all goes well I will have a bike similar to this:
