What We Do - Design Philosophy
We build one-of-a-kind custom electric bicycles and tricycles powered by a custom-built Lithium Ferrite (LiFePO4) battery pack.
While all of our cycles are built to the customer's specifications, each line has a proven model based on our desire to make electric vehicles as transportation alternatives practical for daily use. As such, user-friendly battery management systems are employed to assist users in obtaining the maximum battery life and potential with minimal risk of problems. Likewise, seating and handlebar options are available to suit different tastes and customer needs, including both style and comfort considerations. Drive systems available do not affect normal pedal operations; in fact, pedaling can dramatically increase range potential.
Recommended configurations include:
Compact and weather-resistant battery and controller arrangements
12V lights and accessories system (includes horn)
Easy-to-read and understand gauges (not shown)
Balloon tires on heavy-duty alloy rims for comfort and safety
Straight gauge heavy-duty spokes to handle braking and acceleration forces of an electric system
Compact, lightweight, and safe LiFePO4 battery pack (some existing Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) chargers can be used - additional information available)
Battery management system for longevity and cell balancing, shorter charge time, and longer travel range
Park-n-Plug charging system (removable 2 amp battery charger with cooling fan)
Weather-resistant (stainless steel hardware and alloys where possible)
Frame, seating, and handlebar options ranging from mild to wild
