Electric Bicycle

In my previous pasttime, I spent quite a bit of time building an electric bicycle. I have experimented various versions on my electric bike. Some versions works, some dont. I have built front wheel drive version, rear wheel drive, back pusher etc.

During the process of building my electric bike, I have learned a lot. Things that work and things that do not work. The last version that I built was a in-wheel motor. This wheel has a built-in motor that it can drive the wheel directly. It is a rear wheel drive. I wanted to put this wheel to the front so that I can pedal to assist the motor during uphill or up a slope. But unfortunately, the front fork of the bike isnt wide enough to fit the motor. So for now, it will be on the rear.

There are some pictures of the electric bike that I built. Unfortunately, they dont work too well. Anyway, here is the link.. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21577012026&v=app_2373072738#!/media/set/?set=o.21577012026

Btw, if you would like to read about why I like to cycle, you can read about it at my another blog.
