just when i though it was kool...he starts to change it 
 
 

 

 

Freedom Bikes U.S.A. LLC.

 


 
Here at Freedom Bikes U.S.A. LLC.., we'd like to reintroduce you to an age old alternative to today's rampant gas consumption problem --- with a few new age twists, plus show you some of the benefits of riding a motor-assisted bike.

    
 
 
We'd like to start by having you ask yourself a few questions....... 
 
. Do you live in a large city, and if so have your ever looked up and asked "What can I do about all this smog"?

. Is there something you've wanted to buy, but couldn't because all the cash in your pocket had to go into your gas tank?

. Have you ever been stuck in city traffic wondering if you're going to make it to that meeting in time?

. Do you ever look at your family and wonder "What can I do to get them all off the couch to enjoy some healthy time together"?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, a motor-assisted bike is just what you need! 
This is my motor-assisted bike
 
 
. Even though all gas motors pollute, the small one cylinder, motor-assisted bike engine pollutes far less than any multi cylinder car motor.

. For a motor-assisted bike, average fuel use is more than 100 miles-per-gallon (mpg), so rising fuel costs won't guzzle away your income. You can use the money you save to buy something you want.

. You'll never be stuck in city traffic --- When you are in the bike lane, you'll be able to make it to your meetings on time.

. Motor-assisted bikes are fun, easy to travel long distance on, and affordable. Your entire family can get off the couch to enjoy bike rides together. And you can decide how much pedaling you want to do. You can coast along letting the motor do all the work, or put more exertion into your routine, improving your health at whatever pace is best for you.

 
I do not have a car, so I ride my bike everywhere. And living in the U.S.A.'s SUNNY SOUTHWEST , makes it possible for me to enjoy riding year round. With my bike's mileage averaging about 170 mpg, I can honestly say that I am doing my part to ease the need for oil.
 
if you drive a a motor-assisted bike, You too, can also legitimately complain about the price of gas.

Federal Speed limit for motor-assisted bike is 20 MPH. We don't expect law enforcement in most cities to have a problem with 22 or 23 MPH . Most cities support green transportation and Some states allow motor-assisted bikes to go 30 MPH. Drive responsibly and always wear a helmet.
 

 
Bicycle commuter benefits act.
 

How the Legislation Works.

 For employees who regularly commute to work by bicycle, employers may offset the costs of bicycle purchase, improvement, repair, and storage at the rate of $20 per month.  Based on how the employer chooses to offer the benefits, the employee may bring receipts to be reimbursed, may sign up for regular monthly payments, or devise some sort of voucher system with their employer.

  • Bike commuters are not allowed to receive transit or parking benefits in addition to the bike benefit.

  • The bike commuter benefit can be provided by employers beginning January 1, 2009

If you already receive another commuter tax-free fringe benefit (like a Commuter Check or EcoPass), you don't qualify, so multimodal commuters are out of luck.
 

SEC. 211. TRANSPORTATION FRINGE BENEFIT TO BICYCLE COMMUTERS.

(a) In General- Paragraph (1) of section 132(f) is amended by adding at the end the following: ‘(D) Any qualified bicycle commuting reimbursement.’.

(b) Limitation on Exclusion- Paragraph (2) of section 132(f) is amended by striking ‘and’ at the end of subparagraph (A), by striking the period at the end of subparagraph (B) and inserting ‘, and’, and by adding at the end the following new subparagraph: ‘(C) the applicable annual limitation in the case of any qualified bicycle commuting reimbursement.’.

(c) Definitions- Paragraph (5) of section 132(f) is amended by adding at the end the following:



(d) Constructive Receipt of Benefit- Paragraph (4) of section 132(f) is amended by inserting ‘(other than a qualified bicycle commuting reimbursement)’ after ‘qualified transportation fringe’.

(e) Effective Date- The amendments made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008.


Our County Board of SupervisorsOffice Said "From what I've seen it just says "bicycle" and doesn't exclude motor-assist ones".

Our Web Spinner lists these reasons for exploring this site:

a) We think the motor-assisted bike is an excellent transportation device. At this web site, I’ll tell why I think so.

b) We can supply you with advice on building a motor-assisted bike, plus we offer some custom kits and parts that you can only find right here!!!

c) We'll show you the mechanical pros and the cons of the motor-assisted bike.

As a motor-assisted bike rider since the year 2000, my pros and cons come via first-hand experience.

A major CON with this bike is the current method used to build it. We have a way to minimize these problems.


Another CON is the standard parts used to build it
We have a way minimize these problems.
.
Both of these result in a motorized bike that is a maintenance hog.
 


Maintenance Hog Problems:1

A biggie hog in the maintenance of a motor-assisted bike is keeping the wheels running true and straight. This is a common problem to all bikes, but it is amplified by the weight and vibration of an added motor. The motor wrenches at and strains the spokes in a way they are not designed for.
This and a number of other things can cause a wheel to go out of round and become untrue.
 

 
 
Motor Vibration and strain on spokes and rims:


 You may not realize your bicycle becomes a musical instrument while your are riding. As the chain rotates, the sprocket plucks the chain, sort of like a guitar string being plucked repeatedly by a musician's pick. The sound emitted from your bike chain can be compared to a vibrating guitar string. Bike speed, chain alignment and tension, plus the number of teeth in the sprockets determine what chords your bike chain will make. This phenomena is called 'Chordal action'. A bad chain alignment and tension, or the wrong chain size will make your bike's chordal action hit a sour note, and can shake your spokes loose. The pavement pounding that wheels undergo while riding adds to the wheels not running true and straight. When a motor is attached to a bike, the motor adds an additional chain to your bike's chordal action. This will increase the vibration. This intensifies any existing problems which can then become chronic.
.

Jump Starts: The common method to start a bike's motor requires you to pedal the bike up to a certain speed and then let go of the clutch (called a jump start). This routine has to be repeated after stopping for traffic lights and stop signs. These jump starts put an extra strain on your bike's spokes because the sprocket is mounted to the spokes, straining the spokes out of alignment and can shake your spokes loose. The Jump Start plus Chordal Action then add in Pavement Pounding. Then as a result, the wheels do not run true and straight and the brakes make a "whoo, whoo, whoo" sound, whenever you try to stop.
 
Many cyclists solve their wheel problem by replacing their back wheel  frequently, or the more patient ones will spend hours adjusting their spokes.
 
"We have a way minimize this problems.
See below [ Reinventing the Wheel ]".

I could go on and on about this. But I am assured you will find some cons that even I haven’t seen yet. And yes, I am convinced that we can also help those problems.
 

 

 

We have reinvented the wheel.

 

 
 

The Track Tru-Wheel System is designed exclusively for motor-assisted bicycles. The 26'' Sunrim (brand) rim is outfitted with a custom adapter --- a 44 or 50 tooth sprocket that applies the motor's torque to the wheel's hub rather than to the spokes. As a result, the entire rim (and not just a few spokes) carries the load of the motor. With this wheel system maintenance is reduced to a minimum ! ( as of 06/07/08 I have over

2200 miles on my test wheel and the spokes are still tight and the wheel is

running true ).

 


Like the chameleon --- This site will change. As we find better products, better prices and new info, we will post it. So check back often.
 
 

 
We hope to be your Motor assisted bike shop/web site.
 
 We know who we work for, --- YOU !!!  --- The motor-assisted bike, rider and all the, potential motor-assisted bike, riders out where.
We will strive to supply you with the best bargains on parts for your motor-assisted bike and offer any assistance we can give about building and maintaining your pride and joy.
 
 

 
 

 
 
We sure would like your feedback . So if you have a moment to spare, please take a short survey.
