Every now and then I come across an article that defies description… this is one of them.Justin Lemire-Elmore builds his own bike, not a regular bike but not a recumbent either, a bit of a knock up that looks strange. Something that I can identify with.
Justin then spends a month riding his electric bike across Canada last summer. He made the 7000+Km journey from Vancouver to Halifax in 30 days using a mere $10 worth of electricity to recharge his bike. He put together a rather bizarre looking semi-recumbent bicycle to hold all of his gear. The motor controller, charge controller, battery packs and lighting system were all his own design. He has a captivating 2 hour presentation embedded below in which he describes all the problems he had with his equipment during the trip as well as all the great experiences the journey offered.
I have watched the video and it is well worth watching.
He has a great online shop for all manner of things needed for ebiking at http://www.ebike.ca
