    Who made what ?

    If you go to "Dave's Vintage bikes", he lists a lot of those connections, but...you'd have to dig through each bike page. They are not listed all together on one page.

    Girder forks, what's available

    I was excited to see the Ruff "regulator" girder fork, but...$350 plus tax & shipping? (*sad face). I am now in communication with a fabricator in Croatia, who built the "Mental Manno" ebike. What are the desirable features that RRB members most want? 1-inch steerer? 1-1/8-inch? maybe 1-1/8...

    My first eBike

    Awesome build! very impressive fab skills. Are there any more Stromers left to play with? https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63809&p=958171#p957836 If anyone wants to make a fattie out of one of the remaining Stromers, it might be easier to make it a longtail cargobike. Be...

    1953 NSU Quick52 Moped Electric conversion

    I really love the look of this project. I'm looking forward to how it turns out... If you ever want more power, the MXUS 3000 you have has a 45mm wide stator, and can easily handle an 18-FET controller. If you are happy with the power right where its at, but would like a slightly lighter...

    Summer Ebike Build?

    Where did you get the heavy duty girder fork? Does it have mounts for a disc brake?

    Girder forks, what's available

    As I'm sure everyone here already knows, the Schwinn-style cantilever springer fork is very common and easy to find (when building a repro vintage), though I'm sure the quality varies widely from one vendor to another. Monark springers are sweet, and there's a variety of vendors that make them...

    QS motors

    Here is an article on these and similar motors. Right now I am testing out an Edge 1500W, it has a 35mm wide stator like the crystalyte, and the aluminum core to absorb temporary heat spikes. On flat land it should be able to take 52V X 60A, of course bigger copper mass in the 45mm MXUS and 50mm...

    Just Finished this two days ago and joined the forum Today!

    Well done, sir! I like how a battery box makes it easy to hide the clutter of the wiring with the battery, controller, DC/DC converter (to get 12V for lights), etc... Have you considered a retro sign on the side? BTR Speed Shop, BTR Towing, BTR Garage, specializing in Excelsior motorcycle...

    Italjet E-bikes

    I really love how it only takes just a little effort to make a fairly comprehensive retro themed bike. Here's an article I wrote about these, with some background info that I stumbled across that is absolutely delightful: https://www.electricbike.com/italjet-ascot/

    E-LUX FAT TIRE ELECTRIC CRUISER

    I understand why they put the battery there in a vertical orientation, but by doing that they also had to give the frame a little "stretch". doing that makes the bike a little more stable at its higher speeds, and I like the proportions better. These hardtails really benefit greatly from a...

    ELGIN DECOLUXE

    I just want everyone to know, I was able to add the Elgin Decoluxe to my article on bicycle style. The magazine is "electricbike.com", and even though it isn't an electric drive, this article didn't need that. Kudos to this awesome builder, and I hope to use more RRB classics in the future...
