Magic-pie on Koga-Miyata

(1/4) > >>

Eriknoort:
I build a Magic Pie on A Full-Suspention Koga-Miyata, for my 70 years old dad.


There is a Garmin with dutch cycling maps.

The battery is a 36V 16AH. Speed arround 30 KM/H
A PAS sensor is fitted.

I fitted a 9 speed sprocket. The bike have 18 gears.


The old man is very happy with it and is looking for another (same) bike for my mother.

Excellent job!

Is the pedelec unit functional, or just fitted to look like it complies with EU regulations?
If it is functional, how does it work with the thumb throttle?

Did the 9 speed freewheel cause any problems with the alignment and centring of the rear wheel in the frame?
Presumably you've spaced the axle by approx 17mm on the gear side.

It would be nice to have a bit more information on the fitting of it to assist others who may wish to do the same.

does this means you live in the Netherlands?, me 2.

nice looking bike.

Koga:
Hey that great. I have all most the same bike. Just a little older model. The blue Koga-Miyata Alliance full suspension.
It's a great bike and very comfortable. A Dutch product to be proud of.

I was about to photoshop a Magic Pie in it, to see how it would look. But you did it for me. It doesn't even look that big and I have the 60cm frame.

The thumb throttle on the left is a good idea. But of course I have a few questions too:

How did you remove the ehhh what's the English word... handvaten?
And that looks like a 7 speed sprocket. Did you order that with the Pie or did you get it at a local shop?
And did it fit the frame without bending the aluminum?

I'm still not sure if I'm going to install the pie or the mini motor. With the mini motor I think I can get away with it having no pedelec. Because it wouldn't look like an ebike if I place the battery in a bag. Before Hardcore (Kevin's) post about him being stopped by the cops, I didn't think that would be a problem.

Did you use a 48, 36 or a legal 24v battery?

And does your dad live near Brabant? I would love to taste the Pie :-)

Hardcore:
don't worry about the cops...
they don't have any proof that ebikes can go beyond the 25km/h I just got a little bit of bad luck.
there are more than half a million ebikes in the Netherlands so the one I got is just a bit better. nowadays I pedal with to maintain 40km/h. if you go normal 30 with pedaling you won't have any problems.

i really love the mp( got 600km on it now)
