Finally did the finishing touches on the eco-friendly LaRay Electa-Cycle.  The LaRay Electra-Cycle features two 12-volt batteries to supply power to the 250-watt motor.

2008 Whizzer Ambassador Custom Project

We would like to share the issues that we have been grappling over the past few weeks.  We need to let you know that this bike is overweight and underpowered.  We hope our efforts will improve these issues.  For now, here is an overview of what we've been working on:

  • Cosmetically corrected the right swingarm by removing the ugly tab
  • Replacing the 26" wheels with 24" wheels and  now use 24X300 DOT tires. 
  • Designing special sheave spacers to accommodate the wider tire. 
  • Repositioning the front pulley for a straighter belt position. 
  • Tackling the issues with the kickstand since it wasn't casted correctly
  • Relocating the fenders with shorter fender braces to accommodate the weight of the rear light by tapping and threading the braces into the swingarm.
  • Designing a block to handle the twitchiness of the rear swing arm
  • Working on a solution for the foot pegs - possibly relocating them
