    How many miles on your Lipo??

    I'm just curious. Who'se gotten the most miles on their Lipo setup? What's the size of your pack? What are your riding conditions? I'm more curious about overall lifespan in miles, than how many charge cycles. Once we know you're one've the winners...then maybe we can pick your brain about...

    Myrccycle relplacement lens?

    Hi Mirror-users~ If you're like me, you spend an embarrassing amount of dollars on mirrors. I've tried quite a few, and my fav is the Mirccycle. Properly tensioned, it's very firm and still quite adjustable as you ride. Just broke another one a few days ago (lens only, broke, as usual)...

    Giving Thanks

    Graditude is perhaps one've the best energies we can run on, I suppose. I'd be remiss in failing to extend my thanks to all here who so generously assist with their knowledge, their time, and their enthusiasm for creativity. Thank you all, but especially the core group, who we rely upon so...

    great deal on wheelset

    Hi All~ thought I'd pass along what I think is a great deal on 36H wheelset. You can source these through both Amazon or Niagra Cycle, but Niagra is cheaper. They are often out've stock though. The spokes are 14g. These come with not enough grease in the bearings and cones too tight, but...

    The best dual-susp w/triangle frame

    Hi All~ I've spent countless hours, searching for the best, overall full-suspension frame that has a triangular frame for batts. It can be a very subtle thing, getting those cubic inches for max capacity of battery storage. Luckily, I'm a tall guy and usually go for a 20" frame.....which...

    bigger battery enclosure

    hi guys~ Here's a simple trick for getting more room in your mid-frame battery enclosure. It's width iis generally limited by the width of the space between your pedals as they sweep upward on each pass of their circle. But pedals-extenders are available through a variety of vendors, which...

    New England blues

    Howdy friends~~ I've been dormant on here for a year. Moved cross-country to be with my family again after 37yrs away. Mom's running the gauntlet of the final challenges. Busted out the ebikes and tripped out the Rhode Islanders, right away. "What the heck is THAT?" Soon enough...

    moving...ebike crating

    Howdy All~ I'm moving cross country and needing to crate up three ebikes. What I'm looking for specifically, are boxes that are made for mtb rear-hub wheels w/motors. (they have styrofoam packing dealies). Can handle the rest...but just don't want those wires to get crushed, etc. Any...

    ebikers? Boston to Providence?

    Howdy~ I'm getting ready to relocate for a couple years to the east coast from California. Yikes, right? Just wondering if there are any ebike enthusiasts in the Boston/Providence area. Rides along Narragansett Bay in places are splendid... so too, many places in Western Mass. I haven't been...

    Cruising the EP brainchild

    Ya'll~ There are lots of days when there's a choice between Netflix and tutorials of EP. I do both, rather religiously....hard to choose. I have a deep dark hole of grief over delicious threads that went extinct...cause the conversations just simply ended, even though the info on there is...

    Proflex and Jekyll

    Hi All~ Looking for a dual-susp frame with room for batts??? Here's the best deal I've seen on a Proflex, ever. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bik/2728484414.html .....both this bike and the Cannondale Jekyll (older ones) have the rare advantage of triangular frame design plus dual susp...

    Would you buy this? (battery enclosure)?

    Hi To All~ Well...I'm ready to hang out my shingle here. On the third battery enclosure and feel confident that these will be consistently high standard of quality. There's no better place to have your Lipo or LiFePO4 than in the triangle...for balance, handling, safety, and security...

    bike geometry and crashes???

    Hi All~ I recently picked up a great, very light and strong "Nail-Trail" frame made by Marin cycles. The frame has a sticker on it that says 20"....but actually, it is 22" from crank center to top of seatpost tube. Marin apparently uses different parameters than most. Anyway....this young...

    seeking electronics tutor

    Hi All~ I live about 70 miles north of San Fransisco...I can get there for $8 with my bike. I have no car. I've arrived at the solder/crimp/wire portion of the build and I'm rightfully scared. I've read and read posts...but what I feel I really could use is a rather seasoned tutor who...

    battery enclosures for X-type frames

    Hi to all~ Have been working on solving a problem that many of us face in battery storage. I've got several bikes, but my "favorite" is one that has an aluminum x-type frame and a cromoly rear triangle....really suitable for ebike conversion....except for the obvious lack of triangle for...

    Fred Flinstone battery enclosure

    Hi to All~ As promised, I'm submitting my sequential photos and abit've narration of the latest enclosure build. My hope is that someone can use the process in creating their very own. It is simple, if not abit tedius, but then it always is, tedious. The difference perhaps, most simply...

    Lipo and magnets

    Hi everyone~ Building a battery enclosure and suddenly had the idea of having the opening panel cover to be magnetized to the underlying lip of the case. No knobs or screw heads protruding. But then....uh-oh...maybe a not-so-good idea....do not know if magnets in any way are adverse for Lipo...

    dual drive and stand-alone CA

    Hi All~~ happy holidays I've just found out that because I have a dual-motor and dual controller set-up, I cannot effectively use the direct plug-in CA for monitoring. Cell_man informs me that I can use the CA stand-alone however and modify it for my usage. I have no clue about any of...

    front fork battery pacs

    I am wondering how many have used front panniar racks to house divided battery pacs on rear-hub motor kits. There are many companies that make panniars, but they are rather expensive and generally not mounted robust enough to handle that much weight. Axiom has a low-rider front panniar that is...

    dual drives

    Wishing to hear from those who've experimented with mulitple dual-drive systems.....looking for max efficiency in range, but torquey enough to handle occasional hills of 15% (with peddle). I'm beginning to understand that smaller motors sip less energy, and I can go to single motor for the...

    new steel susp forks

    Howdy~ Just got a Schwinn Mirada MTN and the front shocks have no eyelets for disc-brake. I really wanna disc brake. And I wanna steel fork too. 1&1/8" threadless. Can anyone point me right direction? I've looked and looked. This is going to become my tree-climber. Thanks
