Bicycle Assist Electric Motor Recommendation

I have had the following assist systems:

ELF Tricycle

Advantages

Big and easy to see

Will haul a lot of cargo

Electric and peddle

Two Cycle" 200-mpg Belt Drive GEBE

Advantage is endless range and lots of power

The disadvantage is noise, street legal only (US - not for bike trails.

Direct belt drive - no gearing leverage.

Observation: I had it installed on a two wheel townie and because it was a step through I ended up having to buy a longer throttle cable - so if you go this way make sure you specify a longer cable.

Hill-Topper Front wheel Conversion

The Advantages

Easy and inexpensive to self-install on your existing bicycle

The Disadvantage

Direct drive - no gearing advantage so if you have a big hill you may have to get off and push it up

Easy to swap out the front wheel.

No throttle, just a switch, either on or off a bit uncomfortable. 

Would not make it up the hill I needed to go up.

Would not recommend this one.

Disadvantages

Heavy

Not a bike conversion so no local support or parts

Rusted in one year

Advantages

Cheap

8/19/2004 11:08AM Updated 10/31/2004 Cookie Recipe (not sweet but very Chocolate) Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you like sweet and are not concerned with carbs increase the sugar and chips to taste.

Ingredients

16 oz almonds (costco or sams are fine) grind to fine with bosche or other meat type grinder (substitute 16 oz almond butter)

1/4 pound of butter (I use 1/2 cube through the grinder before the almonds and 1/2 after scrape out the butter after- makes cleanup the grinder a bit easier)

16 eggs (yes sixteen) (30 ounces)

1 1/2 cups Hershey's unsweetened coco for baking

1/2 cup fresh ground whole wheat (hard red)

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1 oz pure vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking soda

4 heaping cups of quick oats

16 oz Guittard semi sweet Chocolate chips 900 count http://www.guittard.com/

I buy the chips in 25# box from local restaurant supply for about $50.00 they can order from sysco or buy right wholesale 3 day delivery - I just call them they order for me. Best quality - no wax

Instructions

grind nuts

add butter and nuts and eggs,soda, vanilla, coco & sugar to mixer and run for 8 minutes or so until looks like ganoush, smooth and yummy, add wheat, mix 4 minutes,

Change the paddles for the dough hook ( failure to change over may damage your equipment since this is a very stiff large production) add oatmeal, chips stand for 5 minutes for the oatmeal to soak up some fluids.

I use a Bosch Universal mixer. Order the

Bosch Cookie Paddles for this recipe. You will bend the whips if you use them. Until you have the heavy duty use the whips, then the bread hook.

Peterson's Bosch Kitchen Center , Salt Lake City, UT

801-272-9922 - very nice and fair- will ship

Mix in the oatmeal - let stand 5 minutes to absorb

pre-heat the oven 325 convection ( I bought a small oven 'Wisco 616' on ebay for 100.00 that was used in a convenience store for making cookies, pizza etc)

http://www.thepizzaoven.biz/page2.html

Any oven will be fine - you will need to experiment with the time and temp. to get your results you want.

add the chips

I prepare parchment paper so the cookies are not cooked on aluminum

I use a small ice cream scoop 25 to 30 per sheet

About 12-14 minutes cooking time

I used to use 30 oz of chips and only 6 eggs, I changed the formula based on my desire to release some unwanted weight.

I have lost 30 pounds since changing the recipe with just a little restraint.

Enjoy,

Dale
