Electric bikes, bicycles and pedelecs

$279 delivered for an ebike is awfully cheap. There are two (out of two) negative reviews on the Walmart site. Do any of the Mongoose-owning members of the forum have updates on their experiences?

Hello, I recently got my Achillies tendon cut, and recovery has been slow and not so fun, so i wanted to get a pedelec, the only thing around and in my price rance was a Bionx pl250 700c kit. well i ride a quetzal lwb thats got a 20" rear. so im putting the hub into a 20" rim. yay. now i NEED YOUR HELP to let me know what to do to the controller to let it know that its now on a 20" rim.

Hello,
my brother has a pedelec: rex e-bike
i can get from him:(he has spare parts)
-battery: 36v "blei-gel"(in german i will translate soon)
- "Drehgriff" = how to say in english=wht you turn with your hand to give gas
- "Steuergeraet" = the electronic box to dive it

then i can buy :
- a motor (for example in germany from dmg movement 250W 36V)270euros?
- a sensor that see that the bike is moving = 60 Euros at dmg

and then i will try to install it on a bike

I'm thinking of converting one of my older kryton lights to 12v LED, and then running a 12v light system off one of my 12v batteries.
Has anyone had any experience doing this and can recommend a particular LED?
Guess I'm considering a Luxeon or similar, or even a 12v car globe, that may fit inside my original housing. (its am older Cateye, EL 400, I think)
Also thinking of a permanently mounted 12v LED rear light as well.

Hi there!

Has anyone had any experience with he eGo LX?
What sort of advice do you have for a prospective eGo buyer. i live in rural maine. my office is 6 somewhat hilly miles from my office on a road that has decent shoulders and relatively light traffic. do you think the LX is a good choice?
thanks

The Wheel Turns Your Bike into a Moped

I just installed the Journey kit on my bike and although the speed is adequate I know 48 volts will definitely give me what I'm looking for. I just took apart the Crystalyte pack and there are no markings on the D cells. My idea is to add another 10 cell pack in series and charge that pack separately. The controller is rated for 48 volts, so I should be OK with the higher voltage. The specs on the pack describe it as a 36v 8aH pack. I would like to get the same exact cells to keep everything in balance. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Danny

I emailed EEStor back in Feb 2007:

"Mr. Weir,

I have been anxiously following the wonderously historic "coming out" of EEstor for a while. I have been doing absolutely everything in my power to spread the word that there is a hope for our future in your EESU. I know you are trying out your EESU packs with the Zenn company. My question is when can I expect to be able to buy an EESU pack for my electric bike? I have a 720w hub motor, and I'm currently using six 12v 12ah SLA batteries (which is quite heavy).
