News Report “Man Motors On Hybrid Bike”
news report on electric bicycle (electric bike) HPV EV For more info see: cyclesantamonica.blogspot.com Here is one of my favorite “how to” video on building an ebike cyclesantamonica.blogspot.com More keywords: Magnetic motor free hybrid
Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular here in The Netherlands, even though most of them are sold to the elderly that want to have support when they do their shoppings or so (to help them get along when they have the wind blowing up front.)
Do you know how expensive this installation is, upcycle?
today i had an idea. i want hybrid powered bike – exactly as it work in hybrid cars. With small 4 stroke engine ( <50cc), electric motor, and… kers (u know what i mean). I wonder if it could be fun.
They should make the batteries fit in the frame.
@ronnysoeberg We earn 5 times as much as Americans, but we use most of it on taxes and sky high prices. I’m from the states and have lived here in Norway for a few years and I’m still surprised how much things cost, especially bikes and parts. A bike that I got here for 4000kr($620) cost about 800kr($120) in the states for the exact same thing…. anyway.. I save about 13,000kr($2000) a year by riding to work instead of taking the bus or driving, and it’s good for the health as well.

I’m sure that could be made, but why would anyone want that? It would take more energy from the bicyclist to load the batteries than you’d get energy from them to the motor, plus the motor + batteries probably add 10+ kilograms of weight to the bike. Useless!
very nice! I like it a lot
I want one I want one how do i buy it?… I wanna pass those snarky pro lycra wearing bikers on an up hill.
Where Can i get this kind of bike ?
seriously, in America this is news.. we sell electric bikes in shops here in England
I wonder how fast and far he could go if he put an engine in the back as well and doubled the batteries?
Always find it funny how americans moan about gas prices. In norway the price for one gallon = $7.50 And no, we don’t earn more than twice as much as americans.
Gotta give cred to this guy for ditching cars and going green though
Commendable.
can we have an electric bike which is not plug in and battery charges when the
cycle is driven by cyclist only using an alternator or small generator .
@colombianguyyo No it’s not the same thing. The car would absorb most of the force of the impact. With a bike, you are the one absorbing the impact.
@jaymoore299
that’s like saying you won’t drive a car because someone will hit you
You just have to be alert at all times.
I am 13 and I am going to attempt to use scrap parts to convert my bike to a hybrid
Michael could you tell me a bit more about your battery setup and accompanying recharger? How would you approach it given more recent battery technology? Thanks, D
Yeah that’s the only thing holding me back is getting run over by some idiot.
He said about 35mph.
The only apprehension I have with riding one is with the dangers of riding a bike in the streets. There are a lot of bad drivers as well as pot holes, there are just too many potential life ending hazards out there.
I wonder what is his bike’s top speed.
Wizard upload, thanks. wow ! 120 miles in one trip ? How many times did you have to stop and re-charge the batterries..?
Do you know if you can charge the batterries using a solar panel ?
they only go 10 miles though ! you need at least 20Ah batteries (very heavy) to get anywhere far …
ima do that
My Husband rides a E-Bike. It’s 500WATT front hub motor with 36Volt-12AH battery. He loves it, he spent around $600 for the whole thing making it. He rides it everyday and it saves him a lot on gas. He works on it once a week for a hour. Just to making sure the PSI and everything else is fine. E-Bikes are like cars, you take care of them, it takes care of you. Don’t blame the things you ride/drive. Blame the person controlling it.
I am in no way trying to make electric bikes look bad because I love mine and absolutely love the idea. I tried getting friends and family to use them as well but they kinda think i’m weird using it. To each his own. I had to purchase very strong tires because I popped two of them. At higher speeds its hard to avoid road debris that you wouldnt even see on the sidewalk. One day I did try to avoid debris and the more durable tires have less traction so in the rain it just slid out from under me.
