Spot on with the transfer/facelift to the e-ride. I'm sporting a West Coast Chopper with an AMP 36v500w rear hub. Did another WCC in to a trike. That one is going with a mid drive hub to the left wheel while keeping the right axle with pedal. In my pick I have a front hub that may or may not stay.

@michaleanderson7064 2 жыл бұрын
Mount the pegs on the front forks for your feet and problem solved about being too big, possibly change the entire front fork out for some mountain bike forks for a bigger bike so you get more leg room and front suspension on the bike
@stevenmay8763 Жыл бұрын
But you should literally look into like some 32 or 30 inch ape hangers for that it might make it more comfortable to ride being that you're 6, 4 like you said

Congrats on this fabulous video. Too bad there isn't a frame that is big enough for you to ride it with a bit more comfort. Nice engineering on your part!

These bikes were a dime a dozen, this platform was a radical remake of the old 60's stingrays that were wildly popular, now they are EXTREMELY collectable if you get one with all the bells and whistles. ( the old ones that is) nice pickup though. You should definitely get those forks redone to be longer and get a smaller front wheel then it would look super good.

I can't help but to think it will be more complete with disk brakes. Maybe you could wield in a disk brake adapter on the frame where the rear tire sits or change the front fork to a disc brake one or both, but that's a lot of work so no pressure.
@DavidBrandNew 3 жыл бұрын
I’m currently in the process of trying to do this. The current brakes work but not the best

The Stingray is a model name from a bike when I was a kid in the sixties. LOL it didn't look anything like this. The old Stingray had more of a BMX look to it with ape hanger handlebars and a banana seat. They were fairly cheap to buy and they sold a lot of them.
@DavidBrandNew 3 жыл бұрын

@NotNowLater 3 жыл бұрын
@@DavidBrandNew This is a very specialized bike type of bike. If it doesn't have the brazed hard points for disk brakes there is a fix. Replace the front fork with a suspension fork or steel fork that has the disk screw points. If you're going to the trouble of upgrading the fork might as well go with a suspension fork. This will only give you disk brake on the front but its the most important brake. A disk brake on the rear is extra.
