DinoFab ~~ Stepper Motor Powered Bike Light - Build your own power source with a stepper motor and your bicycle!

First there's the stepper motor. Most older printers will have one or two stepper motors inside them. How do you know if it's a stepper motor? It will have 4, 5 or  6 wires coming out of it. They usually have some kind of gear or drive wheel on one end. It doesn't need to be big to produce the amount of electricity we need. Smaller is actually better in this case.

Rubber drive wheel. You will need some kind of rubber wheel to mount on the stepper motor, unless it has one. I found that the rubber grommet selection at the hardware store proved to be a good place to find a suitable wheel. You'll want one larger than the diameter of the motor. This will allow the motor to be mounted near the wheel with the rubber drive wheel touching the bicycle wheel's rim. See photos 1, 2 & 3 below. The hole in the center of this wheel should be small enough so as to be pressed on to the existing gear that's on the stepper motor and epoxied in place.

DIY Bicycle Repair

I was 14 years old when I got my first mountain bike. I had little money to pay for repairs and had to learn to do it on my own. I am grateful for this experience, because bike repair is fun and has saved me hundreds of dollars. Listed below are the essentials of do-it-yourself bicycle repair. Although all of these techniques are shown on a mountain bike, most will work on a road bike as well. Enjoy!
