Got another china bike

TeamCheap · 02-12-2011, 08:30 PM

Not what you think but it is........tiny

Here it is with my size 12 work boots next to it

Look at that real imitation carbon fiber plate....WOW.

it is electric 24V and has a 22" wheelbase 30" overall length, 150lb max load(I'm over by 100lbs but it still moves out)

Everybody knows that real imitation carbon fiber adds horsepower.

How many volts does it take? Have you considered tweaking it yet?

FastDoc · 02-12-2011, 10:44 PM

You could ride that around the house when it's not nice enough to go out. 8)

TeamCheap · 02-13-2011, 01:07 AM

its 24 volts.
We have already ridden it around in the house

but its more of a drag strip from the living room to the kitchen.

My wife got it for me for valentines day.

Well its already modded out with that real imitation carbon fiber but I think with some mods/tweaks like slightly over inflated tires, everything greased up well and maybe change the motor timing a bit (at a cost to run time) it might hit 20mph. :roll:

I have a 49cc pocket bike engine with a CVT that might be fun on it and then I can use the electrics to make a motorized mechanics seat.

How do you steer it without your knees locking the handlebars? 8O

Actually its not as bad as I thought it would be, the bars are pretty high I just need the seat set back another 6 inchs.

If all goes well we'll have a some VID of us racing the E-rivet against my moms mobility scooter, she doesnt like to use it so its at my house.

That's cool... How fast does it go? Charge time? Range?

Nice tiling job.

TeamCheap · 02-21-2011, 06:38 AM

That tile makes the concrete floor very comfortable.

Charge time is 3 to 8 hours just depends on how low the batteries have gotten.
I'd say it goes about 10mph but I dont notice that so much because my hands are full trying to control it being that its so small.

I ran it the other day and after maybe 20 minutes or so of doing a figure 8 it started to slow down but I was getting dizzy......dizzier so I didnt mind.

Well if it goes about 10mph and the battery lasts about 20-30 minutes you tell me how far it will go.

The throttle control is very smooth but I think I need to check and maybe grease it all up to make it as efficient as possible.

Here are a few pictures.

That is too cool! :P

I'm glad to see you are wearing good riding gear, TC.

Proper protection is especially important when you are traveling at such high rates of speed! 8O

Thank you for posting the great photos!

Awesome! I rode a mini bike around that I built for my buddy's kid, and I looked like a Shriner.
