It IS Spring Break After All...
...so I better update you on my electric bicycles! Well, David from electric bikes NW in Seattle came through for me one more time and found probably the last front chain cog in existence for my aging LaFree Sport. SO, it's back on the road now with a new front cog, new rear cassette, new chain, and a new rim (old one wore right through the side!). I am no expert at setting the derailer so it needs a bit more work but at least it is working again. I can't believe how much easier it is to make short commutes on the ebike rather than using my pickup.
My first ebike build is about to get underway. I'm waiting on a rear cassette that will fit the rear hub motor (I already have two rear cassettes, but of course they don't fit). It's on the way, so should be here by the weekend. That will allow me to get the rear wheel setup with a hub motor and 7 speed cassette. Then it's a trip to the bike shop for tires, front fork, handlebars, and who knows what all else. I'll keep you posted as it moves forward.
