Braking of HBS-48V1000W Solid 16" wheel

[leo1]

Leo;
the seat on a recumbant bike is directly in front (usually) of the
rear wheel.

The pedals, on the other hand, are usually far in front of the
steering mechanism (handlebars)

When you sit on (in) a recumbant bike your feet are level(ish) with
your bottom.

Oh, now I know, I have seen them around. but they are pedal bikes are they not? not electric? right? /peter

Thanks for the info. Your cool!

Peter, maybe you could try the GIO forum at

It does look a little boring, bragging about 100 members "WooHoo" but most likely you will find people that aggree with your thoughts.

My eyes are always to tired to see logic all the time so I try to keep an open mind of how I perceive others positions and try to behave..

I think I didnt see everything he was posting that would get Alan in such a mood.  Alan was editing the shouting and stuff out of his posts as it seems.

I see Alan edited my last post in this thread. Probably a good idea as well.

Hello all!

Did a complete overhaul on my bike! Have a look at the new Dual Pie JoyEbike II. I think its a much cleaner install then last time. This time I put the second 48v12ah battery in the trailor and I added another. Yup thats right, I now have three 48v12ah batteries pushing my pies. I can now ride the bike with one battery and then when I need the extra power to go the distance I can simply hook up to my trailor. Today I was designing a mount inside the trailor to secure the batteries and thought "why design for two when four would fit perfectly here".

Monkey wonders how cheap Gary is getting these things for!

That's the thing. They seem to be free. I just go to my inventory, take one of the shelf, add it to my bike and no transaction is made.

Well I really hope your wife is not your bookkeeper then... If she is, and you have possibly been having terrible dinners, then you know why now...

Interesting discussion going on here. And I thought I was just going to get info on braking....

Well my next problem is what tires and tubes to get for my HBS-48V1000W solid wheel. I've looked at all the web pages at Golden Motors. I've looked at the information you all have suggested, and I have not seen any specs as to what tires are required. I ordered some 16 x 2 1/2 and got some very large tires and tubes. So now I know for a fact that that size will not fit my hub/motor/wheel.

Can any of the fine GM sellers tell me what tires and tubes I need please.

Thanks.

Also I will need to buy the controller and associated equipment for this motor. I find lots of complete kits available, can I just purchase the parts I need? And please give me the recommendations of what I need.

I am thinking of using the Canadian GM seller as the American one does not list parts at all. In fact the America GM site is very sparse on information. Just my observation, not trying to condemn any one here.

Thanks all.

Hi Kent

If you follow this link it shows a brief thread on rim and tire widths.

I appreciate the reply Gary, but it really doesn't answer my question. I guess one of the things I am disappointed about the GM web sites is the lack of information. On this matter a simple chart showing what tires fit what GM supplied rims would provide the information I am looking for.

The link you gave does not cover what tire I need. Sorry to be so dumb, but I am not a tire expert, nor a dealer. I really would hope that dealers of GM products would have the answers to such questions.

Hi Kent, sounds like that's a motorcycle tyre and tube instead of a bicycle one.
On a motorcycle with a 16" rim, the 16" relates to the tyre bead diameter (the inner diameter of the tyre), but on a push bike it relates to the overall tyre size (the outer diameter of the tyre).

The widest I've been able to find to suit that wheel is a pricey 16 x 3.0 Stingray tire on eBay.

The cheaper, more common sized 16 x 2.125 (62-305) bicycle tyres may look a bit narrow for that rim, but they will actually fit.

A 12" moped tyre appears to be the same internal diameter as the 16" bicycle tyre so it should fit the rim too.

Hope this helps.
