Bike has sold

Sorry, forgot to mention. I am in the San Diego area.

LMX Electric Bike 72v Lithium Battery pack. Rock Shox Boxxer Forks Saint Brakes. In great shape. (over $5k invested). Everything included, except no chargers. I need to keep it to charge my other e-bikes Call or text Joost 619-309-8600. $950 or best offer. Local only, will not ship

That a great tip. I would eventually love to have a loaner bike set up that way. I think I would have a hard time getting used to a thumb throttle. Swtching back and forth from the motocross gasser to the ebikes. I also flip my brakes, so the front is on the right..muscle memory

Thanks Miles. That would have taken me all day to figure out.

g48hZ-892RM First time doing a video, so not sure it will work. It's fun to see friends try ebikes for the first time. Most underestimate the touque and power...no matter how much pre-ride training you do. My LMX is done. I am planning on doing a build thread one of these days.

That's great advise. I realize i am exceeding the max voltage, and it is a risk. But it seems to handle it relatively well. My CAv3 setting limit the amp to 100. It feel like plenty of power my for current usage. By using 30q, I can technically get 120amp from the battery pack (15amp x...

The esc that blew was a castle creations 120. I was using a luna cycle 25r pack 14s8p. I have now switched the esc to a to a talon120...much better with heat/surface area and was able to heat sink it to the custom mounting bracket (thanks Dave!). I also built a custom battery pack with 30q...

I have hit 65kph. I am currently not geared for speed...i only use the road for short rides to the trails. I am sure the 3220 is capable of much more. This is the part I am struggling with. I have had to push the bike home several times. The Tangent kit has not failed me at all, it's...

Thanks guys for all of the tips and feedback. I went ahead and ordered one each of these; http://www.amazon.com/MRP-System-LRP-Replacement-Roller/dp/B003IRNOVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464528900&sr=8-1&keywords=mrp+roller...

I think my failure is due to the increased rpm of a 20:1...as well as the connex link That creates a slight bump as it passes the roller. I'm a fan of a solid roller solution. Ideally I will find a way to put the red DMR on a lathe and grid off the inside lip to allow the chain to align...

Dave, I think that's the one. It looks like it will hold the chain closer to the bracket. The red one is great, but I am not happy that the chain alignment is a bit off.

My chain tension-er failed on my second ride. Likely due to the 3220 motor and the high rpm 20:1. It spins the chain quite a bit faster than my old setup. I'm experiment with alternatives. Currently I am using a derailleur wheel. So far so good but it doesn't inspire much confidence. Next...

Now with the 3220. Definitely a cleaner sound. Mic next to throttle. https://youtu.be/qduH-fYosDg

Sound comparison. This one is the Tangent 20:1 with 3215 motor. https://youtu.be/gpem9cqgOms
