E-Mountainbike Project

It's coming along nicley, are you working on the frewheel to your front gear cluster now or did you already finish that part? This was always one of the sticking points I had for adding an electric/pedal powered bike. You said the freewheel was gritty were you able to clean it?

I have always wanted to build one. When I was about 15 I saw a pair of bikes that had a engine that was strapped over the front wheel and when you wanted to run the engine you moved a lever that moved the assembly onto the tire and a friction drive roller was put in contact with the tire starting the engine, apparently they sold a few in the late 70's.
