well heres some vidoes to prove it works
extremely bodgy though, havent worked out a way to hold the camera properly and take some good video (had to ride slow so it didnt fall off and get run over XD)
will try find the elusive digital camera and bolt it on!
but yeah, according to the calibrator it only got to 1000rpm on the motor which translates to about 55kmh. acceleration is average, but unlike a gas powered one it seems to pull consistently all the way to its top speed (which i may add is F**KING large) instead of having a power band. which is really nice to ride.
only running at a timing setting of 90 in the video as well to stop the shudders. but afterwards i worked out the setting to cure it, and now it runs at 180 so the accelerations better than the video now.

the clicking noise at the end of the videos is the bolts in the wheel sprocket coming loose and rubbing. i loctited it and no joy, so ill have to spend some time on that issue.
next job, find a camera and get some better video
, then find the 36v batteries and larger gearing to make it into a monster, then world domination! perhaps... lol
oh and before anyone gives me the dont ride on the streets lecture
a) this is on a footpath
b) electric bikes are legal on the foot path
and it must be said, that the ability to flick a switch and just ride off is totally the best!
