Plus, with the ongoing stock bike shortages we can get you on a bike sooner. The Huffy Green Machine has been part of the legendary Thrill Ride fun for generations. Spins and slides get the adrenaline going for great times.
Need an easy ride, just plug in a cell phone or two. To add more resistance, add more car adapters and devices. I’ve tested this generating up to about 225 watts. It can go higher, but that’s nearing the limit of the 50 year old pushing the pedals (me!). Adding a meter is optional, but strongly recommended to help you not go over on voltage, and to help measure how many watts you are actually producing! For our build we used an RC power analyzer connected using XT60 connectors.
For socket holes, a1 3/16″ hole sawdoes the job very nicely. Drill a hole in the metal backing for the bridge rectifier, and use a nut and bolt to secure. I also used aU boltto mount the box to the handlebar (measure your handlebar and get the right size U-bolt). A couple more holes in the metal plate will be needed to mount the U bolt.
Put on 2nutsandlock washerson the other side with the motor mounted bar sandwiched in the middle, but leave them loose. Place the non-motor bar against the right inside brace of the spin bike just above the flywheel. Adjust the bolts left or right to get the BaneBot wheel in the center of the flywheel, then tighten the bolts. For the flywheel, I had a local water jet cutting company create a couple 1/2″ thick steel donuts. I gave them the inside diameter just inside of where the machine screws mount the side plate of the e-bike motor, and a little under 18″ for outside diameter.
The receiving nut for the bolt that holds the wheels on is so full of welded metal that the bolt won’t even fit without stripping. Difficult to assemble, particularly the rear wheel assembly. My seven year old son received a Green Machine for Christmas. He is tall for his age, and this bike was preferred over the Green Machine Jr., since he would likely outgrow the Jr. version of the bike in a short period of time. The shipping costs for returning the original order are for your account.
I mounted those on the 16″ dowel, then screwed on a couple 3/4″ by 12″ pine boards to the base 2x4s on the dowel. Adding large washers and wood screws to the ends keeps the foot rests from going off the end. Finishing touches included adding a heel rest (make this 1/2″ or more tall to keep your heal from lifting out on the return stroke) and some velcro straps .
