Richard Jakl's New Book "An Easy Pedal" Contains Design Concepts for Building a Cost-effective Electric Bike
Recent release "An Easy Pedal" from Page Publishing author Richard Jakl is a conceptual book with plans for converting a bicycle into a low-cost pedal assist electric.
ELMHURST, Ill., April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Richard Jakl, a former aviation electronics technician for the US Navy, electronic project engineer, and a contract engineer, has completed his new book "An Easy Pedal": a constructive account that contains sketch designs and steps on how to assemble a functioning pedal-assisted electric bicycle.
Author Jakl shares his personal experience and specific points on how to assure one's self in successfully building a working electric bike: "The converting of my bicycle to a pedal assist electric started with the idea of putting to use an automotive power window motor I had for many years. I first made a list of my design objectives. Main objectives were: very easy to pedal or no pedaling, very low in cost, parts readily available, simple design to make and assemble.
I took this project as a fun engineering challenge. After making many various prototypes, the final design concept made pedaling almost effortless. I thank two of my grandchildren for making suggestions, comments and helped with some road testing.
After further testing, I thought why not share this design concept with others and write a book on how to convert a bicycle to a pedal assist electric. Pedal assist electric bicycles are not considered motorized vehicles, so they can travel on pathways and trails marked 'Motorized Vehicles Prohibited'
The step by step building instructions, detailed drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, complete material lists and many pictures should greatly help in building and assembly. Hopefully you can make this a fun project as it was for me."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Richard Jakl's scholarly book hopes to assist readers who are planning to build a sustainable electric bike for everyday use.
Readers who wish to experience this work can purchase "An Easy Pedal" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
