Title: Electric Trials Ride (ETR) Concept - Looking for Used Trials bike!
Post by: ETR1 on January 02, 2011, 12:52:33 AM

Hello,

I am looking for a newish (2000+) trials bike rolling chassis. I am willing to spend some dollars to get modern components for an Electric Trials Bike project I am working on. Likely I will cut up the frame (to create my own custom frame), but want solid components (suspension, wheels, brakes, etc.) Please let me know if anyone can help find me a rolling chassis (or a trials bike with a blown engine). I am looking to spend about 2K max. Here is the blog I have started on this Electric Trials Ride (ETR) project. www.etride.com (http://www.etride.com)
(also I am new to this forum and EV's so any additional suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Sounds like a cool project. Most ebike mfrs are tyring to hit it out of the park with electric sportbikes. electric seems to make more sense for the small niche of trials.

OSET seems to do well with their kids trials bikes...
