Hey all,

 

We’ve beenworking for 2 years on a project and want to get the word out to any curiousfolks out here. It’s the world’s first carbon E-Bike Frame Fit, worth taking asneak peak: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nyx2015/nyx-2015-the-worlds-first-carbon-fiber-e-bike-fram?ref=nav_search

 

NYX 2015 isa hand-crafted universal E-Bike Frame Kit that can be used to salvage yourexisting bicycle into an electric bike. It can also be used to start any customE-Bike project.

I'd certainly consider buying one, but I'd have to see good independent reviews first to be sure that it performs well. I'm sure the engineering must be right (it isn't something I have any expertise in), but I'd be interested to know how a layer of fibreglass between two layers of carbon fibre can express any of its flexibility without the carbon fibre layers having to break to allow it to move. Is this just to allow relative movement of the carbon fibre layers across each other rather than to allow bending?

2 layers of carbon will be quite flexible. Carbon in thin laminates is not stiff, but it is still quite strong. So 2 layers of carbon with one layer of fibreglass is ideal for a laminate that requires flexibility. 

Sorry for the late answer.
