My Lowrider Cruiser/Dragster

Here is the beast in all her glory. I've been wanting one of these for a long time and finally got around to getting one.
I am currently in the process of installing a hub motor to give me a bit of help for those very difficult hills with 1 gear only haha


My most epic 48v Motor Controller. They were kind enough to write 48v just in case I forgot what my order was haha.



My workbench (finally I cleared it enough to put all my goodies on it.



I got around to installing my super cheap eBay Bicycle Computer, visible on the right is my very epic eBay special Wildfire G13 phone holder (I mean't to get one for a G8 but luckily it fits relatively well enough)

This was a very proud day indeed, finally getting the original cheapie handlebar grips off and putting my electronic throttle in place. I'm still not sure if I like the positioning (as my arm is sort of twisted sideways in the first place).

I may end up using my thumb throttle in the long run. Is it strange to have to release your hand off the throttle to press the brake or could I have set it up badly?




Here is my el Cheapo eBay Speedo Sensor in place. It seems to do a decent enough job for now till I can afford a Cycle Analyst.



Here I am positioning the Narva Compac 100 fog light that will be used for longer rides, if I end up getting caught in the dark its nice to know I have some decent lighting to back me up.



Here is the same hand and fog light but this time I positioned it a bit higher up.



The cables and bracket definitely need some work, I bought them second hand a few years ago.





My Torque Arm Kit (I bought 2 just in case i'd need them). I'm still working out the best way to mount this.

Hey Adrian,
nice schwinn,
you would have got that thing together by now, how is the powerpack pushing her?
I was gunna recommend to you downloading a bike computer app from android for your phone, you can email the specs to your computer as well if you want

Hey Mate,
Unfortunately I am still awaiting finances to finish off the project but I am hoping it will be done in the next month or so. I have decided to downgrade to SLA batteries due to the costs associated. Should be still a bit of fun though

I'm worried about the front wheel ripping out haha. I am in the process of redesigning some stronger dropouts at some stage this week too.
