The AI-generated cat pictures thread
The reality of Joe Perez is an amalgamation of all of those pictures - they are all elements of the essence of Joe Perez. Not unsurprisingly, this came up in a Google image search for "Joe Perez":
There was also a really awesome looking cyborg Jesus picture, but the first part of the URL appeared to be from a website that I thought might be questionable to click on from my current location.

Trippple-posting is a risky venture.
Amusingly, Spock-on-a-Bicycle is actually a relevant result, as I created that image. Well, I didn't paste Spock's head on the bike, I added the caption "fascinating" and posted it on another forum in a contextually relevant manner.

I demand more generation of the Legend of Joe Perez!
So I googled: Joe Perez Hawaiian Shirt
and was unsatified with the results.
I added the term: mustache
and got more interesting results. The first pic is this:
The 14th pic is this!:
We also get this:
and for some ******* crazy reason, a picture of my wife in one of my hawaiian shirts. what.

Well, yeah. I created a thread about it here on this very forum.
Also, the batteries shown in that image were just some random SLAs I threw on for test purposes during construction. It now has a nice, custom-built lithium pack which hangs inside the triangle.

Similar to this?
Wouldn't it be nice to put the motor in the crank hub so you could use the gearing? Or thinking wrong and seems way more difficult.
Joe Perez dance
Oddly googling Joe Perez time machine brings up his avatar and what I presume is him working on crusher or similar orange car

Looks like he's using the same battery bag as me. I'd be curious to know what's in it.
Mine:
(I have since replaced the seat with something more comfortable.)
There have been a few folks who have done this, but there are a couple of disadvantages.
First off, the gearing between the crankset and rear wheel is designed to turn the wheel at a faster speed than the crank. That is precisely the opposite of what you want with an electric motor. So invariably, people wind up creating complex solutions with multiple stages to reduce the effective gearing between the motor and the crank, to compensate for the gearing between the crank and the wheel. More parts, more complexity, more mechanical loss.
And of course there's not much space down there, which limits you in terms of motor size. One solution which a few folks have used is to run the motors from large RC helicopters, with the attendant custom fabrication.
Here are a couple of examples:
Putting the motor inside the hub is just a much simpler, more reliable way to do it. And within the domain of hub motors, there are two flavors.
The bike you posted has a direct-drive hubmotor. That is, the wheel speed and the motor speed are the same. So it's like driving around in 4th gear all the time. That's fine if you're a cheapass newb who doesn't care about hill-climbing, or if you're a raving lunatic throwing many kilowatts of power at the thing in an attempt to kill yourself and possibly set a speed record. But it's not ideal for a daily commuter.
In the happy middle ground, we have geared hubmotors. These are typically lighter and smaller than direct-drive motors, and can generate more torque for a given power rating. The motor contains both a planetary gear-reduction and a roller clutch, so not only do you get the torque multiplier, you also get a motor that free-wheels when you're pedaling with the throttle off, whereas direct-drive motors create a not insignificant amount of drag when unpowered.
The innards of a typical geared motor:
The clutch is the disc just below the green gears to which they are mounted. And yes, the gears are a sort of nylon-like composite material. In the early models, these were a common failure point. In recent years, however, they've gotten quite strong.
Ha!
In high school, there was an actual Joe Perez Dance. It looked nothing like that picture, though.
It is Crusher, from when the car was first being built.

My favorite Joe Perezes.
Less law-abiding than I imagined:
More athletic than I imagined:
More Western than I imagined:
More muscle-bound than I imagined:
Less alive than I imagined:
Pretty much what I imagined:
