Bike Motor Modification

Sculpturer Eric Peltzer has built his own electric mountain bike using a huge go-kart motor. He writes on his blog: "The reason for this powerful a motor is simple: hills. I live on a steep hill. While a Zap or a US ProDrive rated at 400 watts goes a decent 17 mph on flat land, they slow to 3 to 5 mph on a decent hill. I can pedal that fast. However I wanted to go faster and be able to get up a hill. The simple fact is that you need from 5 to 10 times as much power to go a given speed on a decent grade. This is why a car that only needs 12 hp to go 60 mph on flat roads has an engine that can put out 100 to 200 hp."

A separate independently created home-made electric bike, found on Flickr (via Makezine). Don't know much about it, other than it was made by Pete Green and uses a 350W motor.

You control the motor with a pulse width modulating speed controller. A bit expensive, but worth it. look it up.

very nice. i motorised a old bike but i removed the padals and cranks so it was a proper motorbike. it was powered by a lwanmower engine with 950 watts of power. it eaisilt hit 30mph and ran nicley around 40mph. it no longer works as the engine overheated to many times so im going to fit a sinclare c5 motor to it instead. i was wondering how you controll the speed of the motor and if i can just have it on or off. thanks

Java SE Overview


There are two principal products in the Java SE platform family: Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Development Kit (JDK).

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine, and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. In addition, two key deployment technologies are part of the JRE: Java Plug-in, which enables applets to run in popular browsers; and Java Web Start, which deploys standalone applications over a network. It is also the foundation for the technologies in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) for enterprise software development and deployment. The JRE does not contain tools and utilities such as compilers or debuggers for developing applets and applications.

Java Development Kit (JDK)
The JDK is a superset of the JRE, and contains everything that is in the JRE, plus tools such as the compilers and debuggers necessary for developing applets and applications. The conceptual diagram above illustrates all the component technologies in Java SE platform and how they fit together.
