About Chopa
We wanted to see how far we can take the legendary Chrysler Chopper Bike.
Overall, the project went reasonably well. We had to cut and widen the rear fork to fit the 20x4.0 wheel. As the bicycle was not designed to support disk brakes or derailleur, we had to use creativity to install and make them functional.
The e-bike, besides looking sexy, turned out to be quite comfortable on the road (considering that it is a chopper). As they say:
"Women wear high heels, men ride choppers; the same thing."
The 2KW rear hub motor on a 20 inch wheel and a 52V battery provide all the power needed for a full day of fun.
