This new bike was converted for woman living in Happy Valley for her commute to wellington and back. It has a 36v14ah Ezee carrier battery, 20 amp controller and freewheeling front...

I have been working with a friend build up his dream bike. The frame is a Croatian design from Greyborg Bikes, the current motor is an Nine Continent 2808 with up graded phase wires and cooling holes. The battery is 80v 10ah A123 Cells with 300 amps discharge potential. The controller is a Crystalyte 18fet, capable of about 100amps at 100v, so 10,000 watts....

Well, I need a break from home work life. An adventure of sorts. I am going to the Permaculture Convergence in Turangi, so I figure if I am trying to prove electric bikes are a viable form of transport, I should probably ride there. So I have been frantically converting a Yuba Mundo to electric. With 1kw hour of battery, I can travel 100km on a charge, with a...

I am moving this week, I am about to unplug my...

EVLAB put together 2 kits for Jen and Mike of Napier. Both running 36v15ah LifePo4 batteries. Mike has gone for the 2808 direct drive motor for extra torque making more of a work horse bike. Mikes bike has regenerative breaking also. Jens has gone for the smaller more elegant free wheeling motor keeping her bike lite and tidy. We went for a spin – up...

Turned up at the local bmx track with the cargo bike and this is what happened. Tweet

Stock Giant DH Comp This has to be my favorite conversion of 2011. A 2005 Giant DH Comp, custom drop out adapters, 2808, 48v LifePo4, front fork rack. The Giant DH comp is a popular platform for electric offroad conversions, some what strange as it is not a simple conversion. The bikes are a great off road bike that can be purchased from $600 second hand and...

We supplied a kit to Alan in Christchurch to tackle his commute, as he discribes; We live at the top of Worsleys Rd in CHCH, so a good run down the hill onto the CHCH flat each morning, then about 8kms on the flat to work (where I can charge the battery if required). Then 8kms on the flat back to the start of the hill. The hill is 200m at about 7 percent, then...
