yuba mundo

I have finally built my mid drive conversion kit for the Yuba Mundo V3.3 - V4. It is mounted in frame using my patented hub motor mount. The system is independent of the pedals, so when you throttle up, your pedals will not turn with the motor. You can coast with just the motor for as long as you like. The motor's gear is connected to a single cog freewheel mounted on a jackshaft then turns a fixed gear on the same shaft to drive the rear freewheel cogs. The front cranks are also connected to a single cog freewheel on the main jackshaft.

I recently received the new Yuba Mundo V3.3. Yuba made some minor changes to their frame. They have taken out 2 extra seat stay supports. The frame modification opened up new avenues for electric pedal assist. Previous version of the Yuba Mundo limited you to front or rear hub conversion kits. Now, you can actually configure a mid-motor set-up. I prefer the mid-drive due to the fact it uses your bicycle's drivetrain and it is definitely more efficient that way. I believe that the gentleman behind Stoke Monkey has proven that already.

I have waited for a long time to acutally have and install an xtracycle long tail conversion kit on my Electra Townie. I have spent countless hours researching and looking for photos of the xtracycle conversions in the internet. Finally, I got one. As soon as the FedEx guy rang my doorbell, I felt like a little kid again, excited and happy.
