Morning, tib, Atty, dale, Pepper and mm. 
Bringing U people up to speed.
Finished building my new 26 inch e-bike, it's up and running after some pitfalls worked out. Like the front wheel wasn't centering causing a major problem for adjusting the breaks. Then last night I decided I didn't like the way I laid out the wiring and rerouted all wires again. Did get a few rides on it my guess is that it goes around 25 MPH. I'll know for sure when the rain stops now that I installed the bike computer that tells the speed, distance and much more working correctly.
The front wheel hub motor that makes it all possible is made in China surprising the wires and connectors were all color coded and easy to assemble but the instruction were nightmare to figure out lots of little picture and little if any instructions. Mechanical it was a horror until I realized the wheel was not centering on the fork no fault of the motor due to how Schwinn made the bike - wiring was a snap.
Got to say the ride is much more comfortable/safer and faster then the smaller folding 14 inch Jetson Bolt Pro I've been riding. No doubt because of the 26 inch larger wheels.

thx for remembering me, dale.Good morning Atty, Tibs and Pepper, snails
Have any pictures, MM? Would love to see it. May be interested in one myself.
My avatar is a picture of the bike with no motor except for some wires and a battery looks the same.
This is a picture of the small Jetson Bolt Pro can be gotten for around $250.00 refurbished ready to run.
I got the Jetson Bolt Pro as an experiment just to see how it was. Worked out very well for me. I go all over with it even attaching a shopping cart with two clips on the back to go food shopping weekly. It pulls a filled up cart with no problems. Kind of small but for a small investment to find-out if its workable don't see how anyone could go wrong.

Nothing, just felt like cussing. I'm making my new york style pizza tonight. making the dough gets a little too involved, but I've managed. Vito Lacopelli is a unique Italian/individual. And he knows how to make pizza.now what?
Good evening
