    E-Ducati Build

    Great build platform. Macribs touched on it earlier and I think it’s something you need to investigate. I believe that with that trellis frame the engine acted as a stressed member. Without it the frame may not hold up to road conditions. It’s not unsolveable just something you should be...

    Buying forest land, implementing solar

    You created a "special moment" in your mind. We all read as you created it over the last 4 pages or more. Drop it and move on. Creepy is the least of your concerns. Shower and a shitter should be job 1!

    Some call it a survey. Others may call it stalking. If she read this thread she might have a case against you.

    Buying forest land, implementing solar

    How old are you? Have you ever kissed a girl? Your obsession is bordering on scary. Go chop some trees or jerk off already! Get this chick out your skull, get back to the land. :wink:

    Buying forest land, implementing solar

    Any woman looking at you is wondering what the smell is. No shower for how long now? You wash your nuts with cider. Cmon. :pancake:

    Dogman Dans E bike burns his house.

    My condolences on your losses. Glad to hear everyone is ok. Sorry to hear about your loss of enthusiasm for ebikes. You are one of the handful of guys that got me into this hobby, I hope once the house is rebuilt and some soul resting time passes, you'll find the love of ebikes again. We...

    Schwinn Electric Bicycle - Which Model?

    Oh the memories. That was my first ebike. It's a Schwinn IZip circa 2008. 24v,450watt brushed Currie motor, SLA's. Sold at Canadian Tire for about $450, 8 years ago. I miss mine, as shitty as it was. Edit. Nice Strong by the way. I converted a couple of those to brushless/lithium.

    Warning: EBike battery in flames!

    Sorry for your loss. Hope you were unhurt. Lucky that happened outside. That's some crazy pic you snapped. Looks like you caught an explosion. There is a battery fire thread, you may want to post that pic and your story there too. Good luck with your next battery.

    Buying forest land, implementing solar

    Ya, great fun saying all that. Over the top? The use of the term"mental illness" makes a statement suspect? Mentally ill may have it better than mentally well at any moment? Is that your volunteers opinion. Guess you're correct then dr. Do you consider what you're saying before you type? I...

    Buying forest land, implementing solar

    I'm with Marty on this one. As someone who has battled mental illness my whole life, especially the last ten years. I'd suggest talking to a GP to find you some appropriate help. But if you just write this off as "crazy" at the very least consider investigating Mindfulness based CBT...

    Light weight full suspension mountainbike --WITH VIDEO--

    I vote crank drive. Left side may be more efficient and you have built some left drive works of art. I'd like to see you use your engineering and artistry skills solving crank drive. I imagine beefed up derailleur, 3 sprockets on a HD freewheel or some clutch or something else you imagine( I...

    Battery Build - Qulbix Q76R and Raptor 140 Battery

    Will you be glueing the cells together? If so you may want to consider the extra space that creates. With glue the pack may be tight on the Q76r. Just a thought. By the way, two Q76r and a 140. You got the ebike illness bad. Jealous. :)

    YOUTUBE RECOMMENDS :

    Look what I found in my YouTube recommends. I drew up something very similar using Sketchup some years ago. Never got around to it, but great minds think alike. Though, because I'd use an electric bike I designed with a beefier basic steel frame. Enjoy ZiejAhol4Ps

    Should I upgrade my Rayos 600w DD w/ 1000w hub motor?

    It seems that some of the facts are being lost to opinion. 1. You got a sweet old ebike. The Rayos 8 It is not your typical Currie brush motor based kit. It runs a BMC BLDC motor. 600w @ 24v. *for $300 2. You bought a new 24v 25ah Lithium battery. *for $560 3. You bought a front DD 1000w kit...

    Should I Build A 52v 24ah Lithium Battery For An Ebike Build

    You're quite welcome. Find a few builds that you like, learn all you can, then come back to this thread and ask questions before you buy anything. I'm happy to help and would hate to see you spend good money on bad parts. Happy learnin's All the best.

    Should I Build A 52v 24ah Lithium Battery For An Ebike Build

    The answers to your question is in the previous responses. I think you would be best served by reading up on some build threads to broaden your understanding. There is a section for non hub drives, and a section with hundreds of hub builds. I'm not the best teacher. Just wanted to return the...

    Should I Build A 52v 24ah Lithium Battery For An Ebike Build

    No not in general. It all depends on the voltage, amperage and kv of a hub vs. Voltage, amperage, kv and gearing of a mid drive. A mid drive just lets you keep the motor spinning in its most efficient range over a variety of surfaces and grades by changing gears. A hub is one speed. So a steep...

    Should I upgrade my Rayos 600w DD w/ 1000w hub motor?

    I'd love to "preserve it" and put my money where my mouth is, but I'm in another country. With a shit dollar, high taxes and custom fees. Plus the shipping of lithium batteries has gotten expensive and complicated. With his $500+ battery I'd be looking at well over a $1000 US dollars landed...

    Should I Build A 52v 24ah Lithium Battery For An Ebike Build

    That all depends on the bylaws of your city. You can't ride those scooters on the sidewalks here. But it's unlikely you are allowed an ebike to go 35mph on the sidewalks either. Nor should you that's road speed. I'm not sure if 3000watts is enough to reach 47mph, but the cyclone uses the bikes...

    Should I upgrade my Rayos 600w DD w/ 1000w hub motor?

    You may not like what I think. :oops: I don't like front DD hubs, especially on a suspension fork. I assume both your MTB's have front suspension forks. I'd sell it and buy a rear kit, but if you stick with it make sure to use two torque arms. The hardrock is a good quality bike, I'd build on it.
