Fitting the new parts on the bike was a big job. The shaft on the new motor was too big for the frame and the new speedometer required some plastic cutting to be able to fit it in place.

To be able to install the motor I needed to grind some metal of the frame. I used a high speed rotation tool similar to "Dremel" and it worked well ! Now the motor fits in !

Dismantling the bike was an easy task. After getting the batteries off I Unscrewed everything. Now the bike looks like this !

There was a series of wires that were running from the back(where the controller is) to the front of the bike. I put an identification on every connector before disconnecting them.

Authority's Steal my Experimental EV Prototype,
The City has removed my 250w EV motorscooter and taken it to a landfill, without proper notice.

Does Big Oil, Plastic, Gambling, and Coal Fired Electric...have Absolute Power Over Alt. Renewable Energy Enthusists?
I have read about True Visionary's Tesla, Magnatron, Etc...Losing their Prototypes, and more...

I can imagine that any and all repression will be used to silence a person trying to follow renewable energy.

Collusion is the only term I can come up with, between Private Industry and the Municipality...

Here are some pics of the low-voltage converter that I created using the National Semiconductor LM2576HVT-12-ND buck-converter. The chip pretty much did everything for me -- all I had to do was to add two power-smoothing caps, a blocking diode, and a RF choke (which I mistaking undersized; promptly blew up and which I jerry rigged a loop of wire).

On Sunday, I finished making the bearing mount on the right side of the motor spindle. This will help take a lot of strain off the bearings on the motor and prevent it twisting out from the torque. Also, I shimmed the front pulley with the thin metal from an aluminium can -- it was just perfect to close the gap between 12.5 mm and 12.0 mm. As a result, the motor is working much quieter now -- I just love the sound it makes when it accelerates -- gotta post a video.

Getting the new parts was not easy. I sent emails to Website like freeenergystore.com, e-ride.ca, daymak.com and ebikes.ca without success. They all said their parts where not made for this kind of ebike. Then I found the Xtreme website, the xb-600, and Visforvoltage ! After a few emails with Xtremes I ordered a xb-600 motor, controller, speedometer and throttle directly on their onlinestore. Total price for the parts : 260$ but their Shipping to Canada is extremely costly !
It cost me 130$ for shipping to Quebec city plus 60$ for customs fees ! So about 450$ Total !
