Thanks all. Picked some miscellaneous parts including a 4" x 3/8" U-bolt plate during lunch. Will experiment if I can do anything quick/simple for a bit off added assurance. If not, battery (with smart bms) will be here Friday :D and based on everyone;s advice I'll give it a try without...

E-beach: got any pictures or more details you can share of your U-bolt torque arm setup? I tried searching your posts, but you're too helpful on here and there was a lot to try and sift through. The u-bolt plates I'm thinking of are fairly thin. I figured they'd flex a lot with two plates...

Been a while since I last posted as I waited for parts to get in, but have the bike and motor (still waiting on battery) and have a question about torque arm suitability as I start to put it all together. Ended up getting the Burly Roundabout on Craigslist I thought I missed out on (seller was...

Locks don't much matter, thieves just load up the whole bike rack around here :evil: In public, I try to never leave it out of sight, or lock it in front of the police station if I have to.

Donn, I actually saw a CL add for a Burley mountain bike when I started hunting (didn't even know Burley made mt bikes). But the add was over a month old and seller wasn't responding. I would have been all over it if I had the chance. Made in Eugene and something you can't get anymore. You must...

Thanks all. Thanks 2old. I actually searched your post history and it looks like Samsung 26f cells, which Samsung rates at 5.2A max continuous discharge. So, 20.8A rated max continuous discharge on your 10Ah 4p Luna pack. If you're getting good life using those with the yescom...

Thanks. Any idea what the rated discharge capacity of your Luna pack is (or what cells are in it)? I'm planning on just rim brakes and want the 30A controller. Their website doesn't mention it anywhere in the description and the picture's angles aren't't great, so to be safe, I assume this...

From what I can tell, PAS isn't required here. And pretty sure yescom's is just cadence setting with a 1-5 assist setpoint. I may throw it in to have the option but am undecided (and I assume I can always wire an after-market PAS into the controller?). Interesting comment about charging the...

Appreciate all the great info! I especially like Dan's points regarding speed. I want a setup that can do ~30 mph every now and then because, well, it sounds super fun (and something a store bike won't do), but for most of my regular usage (especially on bike paths, etc) I don't need that kind...

Bummer about the controller. At least a new controller doesn't look too expensive although the wait must suck. Thanks e-beach. 17000 miles sounds awesome! Cheap, utilitarian and reliable is what I'm going for and the yescom sounds like it fits the bill for the motor. Will look into the...

Been lurking here off and on for the last year, sifting through and trying to make sense of the plethora of options available for a build. I think I've finely narrowed things down to a cheap yescomusa 1000w 48V rear direct drive as the best fit for me. Would love a little input and review from...
