Here is a link to one of the better electric bike forums:
Endless-sphere.com • Index page

I have been involved in electric assist bikes for about 6 years and am a support guy (Retired Electronis guru) for a few major manufacturers and dealers. (Bionx Giant Cyclone etc)

For folks interested in the 'lay down' bikes (Recumbents) here is a great site: (having volume/bandwidth problems currently)

'BentRider Online Forums - Powered by vBulletin

Anyway if you are looking for a way to save some time and money, while doing some pedalling (so you can quite the treadmill in more ways than one) drop me a line for some honest advice.
doenterprises at yahoo dot com

These ebike guys are real good at getting the maximum out of only 1kwh of power, which is about the most any ebike carries. I am supportive of the ebike type where you need to pedal... might as well as long as you are there, it saves money in multiple ways... and the beer tastes better when you are done.

anyway, looking for tips on this forum on improving my old Ply minivans FE.

thanks

Check out this: FreakBike Nation most of the action is in the forum. Life is too short to ride ordinary bicycles.

ChainLove.com - This site is a one-at-a-time deal site that sells, bike parts and gear at HUGE discounts. This site is also partnered up with a snowboard one called Brociety.com, WhiskyMilitia.com, SteepandCheap.com, and they partnered with two major online retailers, being Backcountry.com and Dogfunk.com. I snowboard, bike (BMX street riding and road bike), and skateboard, and I have ordered from these sites a few times. They are good about getting your stuff to you fast, and best of all, CHEAP!

Bike saftey guru, Ken Kifer:
http://www.phred.org/~alex/kenkifer/...ffic/index.htm
Bad link in SVO`s original post to Kifer`s main page. Other stuff on his site too, but his saftey info is a must read for anybody new to riding in traffic. Not everything is obvious and some is very counterintuitive.

I have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L and these are good candidates for aero mods including a tail section.

Adding to an old sticky... This is where I got nearly all the hardware for my ebike conversion: https://ebikes.ca/. I am in the US and GRIN is in Canada, so I bought my battery from a now defunct US supplier.
