250 Watt EV Rat Bike Project

I took my old 2001 Kent Safari Thruster X2 that had over 700 miles on it and stripped it down, added continental slicks, a Clean Republic 250 watt hub motor and battery kit. Now I have an electric bicycle testbed. I plan on upgrading the batteries and speed controller eventually, I want a twist throttle and longer range. Re-born 20100722@2100 A ratted out electric bike. This bike has over 700 miles on it and finally bit the bullet, so now it is being re-worked ground up.

One Helluva Ride 2010

20100710- One Helluva Ride raw footage. Started in Chelsea, Mi and rode the countryside for 39 miles passing through Grass Lake, Portage Lake and enjoied the pleasant country. :)http://www.aabts.org/ohr/
Here is a public link to the photo album.

This was my first official group ride, it was incredible and such a memory in my cycling carreer.
I still remember being all nervous the night before, I was worried about pinch flats, not keeping up with the group, driving there, how to register, do I really get to eat that food?, what if... blah blah blah. Watch the VIDEO for details, turn up the sound and stay a while.
