Riding a Little 24" Huffy Girl's Cruiser with a 48 Volt 500 Watt Front Wheel Drive

I have been putting together electric bike conversions for a while and always looking for fun little projects. I love 24" bicycles and saw this Girl's Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser in periwinkle blue with whitewalls and a white seat, blue pedals and I said "Why not?". I strip the new metal fenders for safety purposes as this little bike will go faster than the manufacturer intended. I installed a KT 48 volt 500 watt front wheel conversion kit and a rear luggage rack for the battery mount. I left the rear coaster brake and added a hand brake on the front to help slow it down. I tried it initially with a 48 volt 1000 watt front wheel motor but it was too heavy for this bike. The 500 watt is perfect! I clocked a 28 MPH top speed before with the 48V 1000 watt but with the 500 watt wheel, it still got me up to about 24 miles an hour top speed. It has very good pickup off the line and rides nice!

I got a new camera mount and this was my first time to try it out with the DJI Osmo Action camera and wanted to have a little fun with it. We are working on how to bring more aerial photogrpahy with some cool drone shots into the efforts around here. Thanks for watching! ~ William Flying39
