    Push assist is a new mode aka "endless" by Mellow DIY kits

    Mellow makes almost any skateboard electric - The Verge https://apple.news/AQbWvO_NERIy-FHUuOv1Dyw Umm, that above link was copy pasted from my Apple news feed so I'm not sure folks using a PC or android can access it so... https://www.mellowboards.com/en/FAQ/ The FAQ doesn't really go into...

    Manufacturers not promoting DIY middrives w/torque assist

    :? Been here long enough and either browsed/read new posts of new products on the horizon so I can gauge where the tech is going. Batteries are predictably changing every 3-5 years, which might change with the gigafactory. Motors are actually progressing faster than I can keep up, and that's...

    Will this used 36v (10s) w/29e cells work on an Eskate

    I have a used 10s dolphin pack with 29e cells (current cell tech five years ago). Will this provide enough amps to power a 2x motored Eskateboard. I'm not sure what the C rating are for them. I think it's 6p. If not then it's 5p. Plan is to put it in a backpack and have corded leads to the...

    MAC thread size

    In a hurried attempt to remove the inner motor from the covers, I used a metal plate (should have used a wood plank) and whacked it out with a rubber mallet. Now a small portion of the threads are chunked. Websites offer different die options and I need to re-die the threads. Anyone know the...

    Robot roll call

    I haven't owned a TV in awhile (it's a good thing, but that's another subject matter), but I can easily find a TV to watch when in the mood. I'm seeing a major network show scheduled to air called "Robot Wars". It's getting promotionalized as if it's the newest & coolest sport on the scene...

    Death & Transfiguration. R.I.P. my little pony.

    Earth day 2015. Took a route I've done many many times so I know every nook and cranny that would cause loss of control. Well, it finally happened :lol: . My aluminum 20" folder snapped at the main tube causing me to eat dirt :lol: . So glad this fail happened off road vs. my small bike...

    Didn't know craigslist had this feature

    My habit is going to the craigslist for sale section and peeking at folks selling their unwanted bikes, just to say "ya, I could electrify that" or "jeez, what a ripoff!" or "people ride a bike for 400 miles and sell the thing?" :lol: . You only get one photo of the item and you often have to...

    Crank arm removal

    In the process of upgrading my anemic 250w hubbie to a 500w middie on my 20" folder. I've basically installed everything except parts related to the bottom bracket (never removed one before). My crank arm is held onto the spindle via a threaded bolt. My bike book mentions a crank removal tool...

    It's the controller?

    50v nominal Cellman battery (58.8v HOC) showing 56.x volts since the problem arose. 10t MAC w/40amp (25amp limited via CAv3) Cellman controller. Jumped off a curb and had power failure ~1 mile after HOC. Reset/turned off & on power switch, showing 56.x volts, no signs of large sagging when...

He gave the Feedback Sports Pro Elite the...

    Thoughts on this 14s Charger

    After my search for a Thunder 1220 charger (which seems to be out of stock) I stumbled upon a 14s charger from the same company. Maybe they phased out the 12s (44.4v) for the convenience of the 14s (51.8v)? 5rL4vXjEtKc minute 1-6: model features, minute 6-13: setup features, minute 13-end...

    Leave 2 chargers plugged to wall?

    I have 2 Ebike chargers. Your typical kingpan variety. Nothing RCish with PC power supplies. I have at times charged both bikes at the same time & from the same wall socket. No problem, the household circuit can support them. But what should I do after they have finished the charging process ...

    Longboard backpacks

    I was out riding around over the weekend and saw this guy had a 35+" longboard attached to his backpack for easy carrying when he's not riding it. Anyone using one as well? Just wondering if the electronics get in the way. Maybe a backpack made for snowboards would work just as well?

    I see helicopters oh my!

    I live in a higher than average violent crime city. It's close to Washington D.C. to merit your above average funding and attention to national security. Lately, I've been getting the flyby by the newly purchased police helicopters over the last month. Maybe he's bored, or he needs inspiriation...

    Forgive me Father, I have committed an ebike sin

    An SUV seemed to purposefully encroach on my 3 foot right of way, impeding my ability to move forward. I believe it was the car's intention. I waited for an opportunity at a stopped intersection to pass where I "gently" nudged his passenger sideview mirror out of alignment. I then proceeded to...

    gears/clutch slipping

    I have a geared MAC. The past few days, I've been getting a "grinding" type sound only on high torque applications or stop> fast accelerations. Took the motor sides off and inspected. Didn't really notice worn gears. Proceeded to regrease the gears. Also sprayed the copper with Boeshield...

    Diagnose Ebike Trouble

    Rode the bike the other day. Power gave out mid way through the trip. CA has a blinking V when I throttle. I place the motored wheel off the ground and give throttle, it gives very small surges of power at 1/2 second intervals but not enough to power through a full rotation. I've looked at the...

    Taco'd my E-rim

    Going about (insert some fast speed limit number here) on a stretch of unpaved graveled sidewalk having fun with a 8" egrin. Most of the sidewalk corners had ramped access so I assumed I had a good stretch ahead of me of clear travel. No. Didn't have enough time to make a complete stop before...

    3 speed switch tricks

    I have a "run of the mill" 3 speed throttle switch from cellman (others sell them as well). It's hooked up to a CA which is then hooked up to a 40A controller w/50V 25Ah battery. A few questions... Are you able to program these 3 switches to any level? Or are they predetermined levels? In my...

    My ES typing is screwy!

    My cursor as I type comments seems to jump from one area to next, typically in a spot where I've already typed. It messes my flow. It's rather annoying. Anyone else get this bug? It only happens in ES too. example: "My cursor as I type com(cursor would jump here)ments seems to jump from one...
