Cruiser/Chopper Bike

G310/311

Schwinn beach cruiser converted to front wheel drive electric. My second ebike conversion, a daily commuter. Got a used G310 geared hub laced in front wheel from eBay. Pulled this off on a budget. I built my own battery out of recycled Samsung 26F 18650 cells. I used 14s solder-less PCB stack for ease of repair and maintenance convenience,

still with the sketchy dried up original tires, couldn't wait! — after the first electric ride

improved safety. Battery in rear cargo bag on the rack. — new tires

not functional yet, but looking good. Got a used bike share (Uber Jump) motor from eBay for cheap. Had intermittent issues caused by cable exit short. Had to troubleshoot but got there in the end. — mock-up

The bike originally had a one piece — bottom bracket

my first wheel build turned out descent. I like the nuvincy for ebike but too heavy in my opinion for a non electric bicycle. — trying on a enviolo nuvincy rear hub CVT

best tool ever! Things don't always work on the first try. I sure am glad this guy's got my back when I need to do some in situ field troubleshooting. — CA for onboard diagnostic

still had the battery in a backpack — first electric ride
