    Great set of videos. Couple of things. The rubber rings for the sprocket go one each side of the spokes, one inside and one outside. So you only have to split one. This protects the spokes from undue wear and tear from the sprocket rubbing back and forth.

    Only other thing… WEAR A HELMET!

    Thanks again for the great videos!!

    Hey, Great videos you’ve got here on your site. I saw this for the first time today and I’ve already got a little motor on order for my old mountain bike…

    This is just hilarious!

    Great video of your project, this is something I would like to do but only if it is electric.

    May I ask what is the name of the background music in this video? I really like it and I don’t mind making my own purchase of the music.

    Thanks, LE

    I think I got the music from this website http://www.musicalley.com/

    Thanks for the vid. I’m having a hell of a time with the clutch. I ran the cable through the adjuster, with the big spring protecting the wire and the small spring between the adjuster and the clutch arm. When I then pull on the clutch lever, the clutch doesn’t seem to engage (preventing the sprocket inside from turning when riding the bike normally). I can push the clutch arm to engage it, but it doesn’t “lock” into place until it actually hits the adjuster. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.

    I’m not sure. I ‘ve seen some interesting modifications for the clutch by adding a small pulley which increase leverage.
    The clutch should engage within the amount of throw allowed by your clutch lever. Sorry, I’m not much help.
    Try the motorized bicycle forums. Good Luck.

    @Leandro

    Sorry about that Leandro… the videos are currently hosted through blip.tv which uses a flash video player which is not compatible with ipads or iphones. I am planning on redistributing my videos through youtube in the near future. Youtube, of course is compatible with apple products.
