all of that peddling,
no give me public transport or a car anytime, but if I did, for what ever obscure reason, buy a bicycle it would be like this one, albeit home made, and here is how it is made, Redditor jimmythecraftguy calls
his creation the "Spin Cycle." Hack-A-Day describes this remarkable machine,
the drive train of this bicycle starts with a
brushless DC motor from a washing machine. It has been slightly modified to run
on 48 volts, and is installed inside the triangle of the bike’s frame. It has a
chain driving the bike’s crank, retaining the original chain and gearing setup
[...]The crank has also been specially modified to include a freewheel, a
necessary feature so that the motor can operate without spinning the pedals.
Everything except the motor has been custom fabricated including the mounts and
the electronics.
now if bicycles like this were for sale I might be tempted to buy one, why? look at the video above as he keeps up with traffic at 40 mph (60 kilometres per hour), none of this slow coach stuff holding up the traffic at 20 mph!
