Looks like fun but I don't have the bandwidth at this time. Thanks

Thank you!

Indeed. I was able to show my bike at the Made.Bike event in Portland. Special thanks to VPL for giving me a space in their booth. I had a great time meeting other builders and seeing their amazing work.

First time out in the wild!

Thank you!

Thank you! You hit all of my attention to details!....with one exception. If I may take liberty here. I was stoked to incorporate the drop stand into the design without it looking like an add on. And it works!

Much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Stay tuned!

Thank you! Stay tuned!

I assembled everything, dialed in the fit and rode it for about a week and put on over 100 miles. Everything works as it should. Time to Paint!!

As I am nearing the completion of my build I realized that there is an inherent problem. The bar ends hit the frame and the truss fork hits the aluminum side panels when turned completely, not unlike any bike. You always see tank bikes with big dents in them. I set out to engineer stops in the...

Thank you! Thank you!

I made the rack shroud or battery tray in 3 pieces. I shaped each side panel and then welded them together. The rear piece was formed with a recess to incorporate a tail light. I then welded that on the back. The shroud then snaps over the tubular rack. The battery nests in perfectly!

Shaping an aluminum panel from a flat sheet is quite rewarding. I work out a design in my head and on paper, then I proceed to teach myself how to get the end result. The key is patience. I go into forming each piece knowing that it’s probably not going to be the one I use. Each piece is a...

Form Follows Function: The aesthetics of most all mid-drive eBike motors has always been a problem to me. The irregular and angular shape of the motors and mounts do not flow with the lines of a bike. There is no continuity of this shape with the rest of the bike. One of the main concepts of my...

The aluminum bodywork is the key to the design of the bike. I set out to fabricate a buck for each piece before the actual metal shaping began. There are basically 9 unique panels that needed to be fabricated. I found that each panel presents it’s own challenge and the sequence on how I shaped...

The goal for the rear rack was to keep the battery mounted as low and far forward as possible. I wanted to incorporate the curves without competing with the flow of the seat stay. The end result holds true to the original drawing. This feature was influenced by the ’39 Elgin Miss America.
