** SOLD ** Speedometer stopped working. This is the second time this has happened with my setup and I don't know why, but it's easier to just buy a new one than try to figure it out. Everything else works fine as far as I know. Plug is obviously modified and will need to be remade. No...

I was recently looking for a low speed hub motor and found Ozo (in France I think) has a variety of low Kv DD motors. Might be useful.... https://ozo-electric.com/en/27-brushless-bldc-motors?p=3

**UPDATE** Cycle Analyst, charger, E-Moto controller, and Golden Motor parts are taken Located in Seattle, don't really want to deal with shipping, so locals get priority. QS205 axle Cycle Analyst. Can't remember the condition of this one. Obviously the leads have been totally hacked. I...

I bought this from another user on Endless Sphere in 2016, installed it on one of my bicycles, and rode it for less than 100 miles. The bike has sat in my shop ever since then. This was my first try at mid drives, and it turns out I just don't like them. I prefer the smooth, silent, instant...

I have a weird variation on this problem. Phaserunner with MT plug using a L1019 adapter harness to connect to a GMAC. The harness has a separate 2 pin JST connector with white and grey wires at the controller end, but there is nowhere to plug it in. I'm thinking I just need to cut the speedo...

I'm happy to hear this advice, since I'm most familiar with and comfortable working on hub motors. I think a very small one will suffice for this since the additional gear reduction to the rear wheel will give us plenty of torque. This is exactly what I'm thinking, too. Belts will be harder...

I got my friend who used to work as an engineer at an aluminum boat manufacturer to give me some advice. According to him, galvanic corrosion will not be that big of an issue since my vehicle won't actually be submerged, but general corrosion due to salty air will definitely be an issue. 6xxx...

Yeah, I think that's probably what I'll do. 3 speed Sturmey Archer, and fat tires.

This is making me think maybe I should consider making the frame and everything from stainless. I don't relish the idea of doing all my cutting and welding in stainless, but I can get tube and shapes in 316 from the same supplier. I can get stainless bearings with stainless housings, stainless...

I have a customer asking for a custom trike project and would love to crowd source some ideas about how to proceed. This trike will be used for maintaining and harvesting oysters in a salt water environment. It will be ridden on sand flats that are exposed when the tide goes out, so not...

If it's a steel steerer tube, the welded extension should work. I've done it a few times myself. Turn a tight fitting internal sleeve to bridge the connection between the old piece and the new piece. That will help keep it in alignment. Clamp it in V-blocks for welding if you have them...

It looks like that bike and fork should take a standard 1 1/8" threadless headset. They are very common. There's no reason it should take a month to get it. However, it also looks like the steerer tube on your used fork is too short, as you suspected. If you're really ambitious you might be...

Amberwolf- sorry you asked me about this a while ago and I didn't get around to reading it thoroughly until now. I think I understand all the features, and I would say it's technically possible, but pretty difficult to do well, especially DIY-style. There are a few major tripping points. One...

Unfortunately, I don't think any moto tire will fit. As far as I know, 16" moto -> 20" bicycle is the only magic crossover size.

Aaron can do cleaning and oil changes, and replace shell components, but cannot service the guts. As far as I know, even Cycle Monkey sends them back to Germany for internal repairs. I'm not even sure they'd be willing to work on mine since we drilled the flanges for a 48 spoke wheel. This...
