DIY ebike Ebike Conversion

  • Kyle hi I’ve been able to convert my RAD bike 750 to the more powerful 750 that I got from you.The problem is the spline nut tool that I got the inner hole cannot fit over the nut to get to the free wheel off and I’m not going to cut the electric cable. Do you sell that spline nut that would fit over the shaft nut and washer or where I can get it. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE.

  • Kyle,

    Excellent Subject Matter chosen this Edition ~ I totally agree with the equipment viability factors as well as priorities to consider. That stated, what I would really like to do with my 2017 RadWagon is downsize the front & rear tires from 26” x 3.5” to something in the 24” x 3.5” category. Those 2” will go a long way in improving the “Cruising Comfort Factor”. While Rad considers the “frame size” of my RadWagon as “Medium”, it is a bit to, uhm, snug for my short legs to really be comfortable (even though I’m 5’8”).

    I use it on mostly paved roads, & for general exercise. Due to the bike’s weight, & mine right now, pushing the rated limit, the “750 Watt” rated motor size seems to provide sufficient torque to handle most roads in my area. PAS 2 or 3 have been adequate to provide a reasonable workout without causing too much undo strain (I’m 73).

    Any suggestions, or recommendations that you might have if you do not plan to have changes like that available would be appreciated.

  • Kyle, thanks for the great advice. I already have a great ebike and was thinking of converting my old MTB for my son. I had researched parts and come to the conclusion that when factoring in my labor, it is cheaper to just buy a new one. I’ve done lots of bike repairs – tubes, tires, pedals, grips, racks, computers, shoes, pads, bearings, spokes and chains. I have most of the tools including a stand. You helped me realize, however, that I don’t want to create an ebike, I just want my son to have one!

  • Every podcast I get more exited about my new ebike hobby. Thanks for the good listen! I’m definitely type A+B=B+A well all American and like to have the instant gratification as well like to know when it breaks make it like “The 7 Million Dollar Man” and Add superior upgrades to and learn as I go🤙🏼 But make sure I always have a working ebike before starting a hands on ebike kit project 😉
