My Bike is a Vector/Evelbike/EEB styled custom build… I started this project as an enthusiastic Newbie/Novice E-Biker, I hoped the build would provide me some insight into the machine I’ve learned to love and therefore the ability to repair the bike myself without running to a ‘shop’ every problem… Little did I know the education I was in for, sooo much to learn, grasp and understand if you wan’t a successful and SAFE build. I relied on and in the experts in their fields as I found them on ES forum and other places and promptly lost myself in 1’st the different setup plans, logistics and company parts ordering and then the build process as it all arrived. Documenting my process throughout, I found it necessary to make many unplanned mods ‘On the fly,’ as problems presented themselves, but the build progressed and came together 🙂 Unfortunately the weather seems to be turning colder now here in NYC so testing will prob be limited… but I’m certainly excited for it…
