[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3813513, member: 15054"] Cleaning the back yard and sheds and I knew I had plenty of things to build a couple electric bicycles. I had stuff laying around the yard and decided to use some of it. Crude but goes down the road. I need smaller batteries. I have it hooked up as 24 volt with this 36 volt rated motor. Up the hill to the stop sign it goes 13 mph and down it hit 20 mph. only about a 4 degree slope. Not much torque set up like this and I will get 36 volts on it some time and see if it's better. Just a 2 wheel solid hand truck wheel attached to the shaft and spins against the rear tire. Light switch to turn it on taped to the handle bars. Notice the flat steel that I attached the motor to and at the end I put a heavy spring to put tension on the wheel. [ATTACH type="full"]285287[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]285288[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
