    Tidalforce Wavecrest motor?

    Yes SM, it's a 7 phase internal sine wave controlled hub.....a shame it was only governed to a 46.2 volts max. KB

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    Hey Brian....BTW, I too have 8 of the Tidalforce ebikes. :-) Interesting how you put 2 HK lipo batteries in the front hub. Personally I removed the front battery hub, installed a 26" shimano dyno hub disc wheel to power a Planet Bike LED light (w/blinky). Then installed an Avid BB7 caliper for...

    Magic Pie 4 with Cycle Analyst 3.0 - wheel not turning

    Great you got it working....I'm trying the latest MP4 on an older EVG PE (Police Edition) ebike using the added GM LED dash. No issues w/install. I'm currently using a HK Nano Tech 44.4v(50.2v)/8ah battery pack in the original battery box. Range is around 15 miles using mostly full throttle...

    Magic Pie internal sine controller

    eBikeWannaBE.....you know you can run up to 14s lipo (60v max) on your MP 4, right? Though your only using 12s (50.4v), what level speeds are you getting? Did you go with the thumb or twist throttle? The internal rear hub sine-wave controller interest me, though I need a level speed of @ least...

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    Hello Brian.....nice ebikes. I've got four of these, with two 36v Yellow's, and two Red 24v's. I've used a donor 36v EVG ebike (LE) and upgraded one of the yellow 36v mini's by using the 36v controller/throttle/front/rear lights and shock seat post. I'm too using the HK Nano Tech 22.2v/8ah & a...

    Ghost ASX 5100 with HS4080 20s LIPO - 8ah

    Nice projects....how did the middrive compare to the hub in feel and in their riding. Which did you prefer? I'm looking into using the Crystalyte 4080 rear hubs on a couple of X-Tidalforce ebike Montague folding frames. Thanks. Kit S.CA

    Need Suggestions for Modifying EBike SX to Higher MPH

    Hello Russell…good to read your still riding. I remember asking you a question years ago about what charger you were using on your Europa. I've too read your postings about the project bikes you setup and ride. The two Europa's I have, were both bought for a song (Blk-$75 1k mi, & White-$125...

    Need Suggestions for Modifying EBike SX to Higher MPH

    Seraffa...first off you didn't mention your budget. Based on your goals, plan on spending around $1,200 +, and it's not even realistic with this short wheelbase hardtail light frame to go 50mph. Ok, for 30mph. Here is an upgrade that may be of interest with your same model ebike...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro...Thanks. Again, it's a shame the E+ front NiMH hub isn't a simple jumper fix like the original TF. I haven't tried pulling the power off the battery board, to try a reboot, yet. I'll then decide the next course of action if that doesn't work. The plan when I purchased this like new E+...

    Falco e-Motors

    Hey Miro….regarding the E+ system. I purchased a 2008 EMS Tidalforce M-750 E+ from the original owner. It has around 160 original miles on the complete bike. It will power up for about 2 sec then shut offer. I contacted Rick, and we checked the charger and voltage of the front hub. Both are ok...

    Falco e-Motors

    Hello Larry….I've read your postings over the last 4 years after I purchased my first TF ebike (M750X-Sept '10) on the TF forums. It was bought from the original owner ($2,100 + $500 "B" battery), that stored it on the back of his RV. Easyrider in TX, that sold it new (KS), who had it in...

    Falco e-Motors

    Hey Miro....Yes, I'm aware that Shellie @ LEVT is still servicing the original Wavecrest Labs TF ebikes, I just wanted another "source" to go to as I'm too interested in the Falco 1,500 watt system to replace a couple of dead TF bikes and take advantage of their 5 year warranty! :-) BTW, I...

    Falco e-Motors

    Really….and you didn't show a photo with a Montague Paratrooper frame for an intro Tidalforce 3.0 version?!? :wink: Is Falco going to offer a hardwire (backup), and maybe a CA option to go with the wireless? My interest is in the Falco 1500 watt version, going on an original manly...

    Tidalforce Wavecrest motor?

    Regarding this IO cruiser out of Texas, I bought it for $200 + shipping, and it now resides in S.CA. :wink: This now makes it a 7 Tidalforce ebike (+ one IO"X" frame) family. Though my intent was to use it as a backup "parts" bike, as I already have another IO step-side, and with plans to...

    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    I'm using two Hobbyking Lithium poly 18.5v/37v (42.5v-$180 shipped) batteries in all of my EVG ebikes. This 42.5v 5lb pack gives me around a 14.5 mile range in the 36v ebikes. It of course can be doubled for a 16ah battery pack that can easily fit in the side compartment. My "cardio" ride is 12...

    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    Cor....with the stock 36v crankset, I'm only able to go with a 46t max front gear. Otherwise it will hit the frame. Even when I went with a 46t front & a 32-11 rear, I didn't need to add any chain links to the stock chain on the LE. You may have the "offset" to go higher with your stock 24v...

    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    Cor....I tried a 32-11 on the LE & it works, but it's my understanding that the stock derailleur struggles with a 34t low gear. Which is why I just went with the 30-11t freewheel for the rest of the ebikes, because in practice your only going to be using 4/5/6 to start off, & mostly the high 7th...

    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    I just got back from riding my NOS '99 24V Black 24v that I upgraded using a Tres Terra (formally EVG) Callisto controller/throttle-key/brake handles. It's of course using the original stock 24v/400watt rear hub, & I've upgrade to a 42t (origin8 gold/blk) front chainring (36v parts bike...

    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    Cor...on the 24v ebikes, it's best to just buy a nice used complete crankset with a 46t gear attached. I've bought several off of ebay. Generally they are take offs from new bikes & so are nice. Though anything over 44t & you will need to trim the side case a bit & the chain guard is removed...

    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    Hey Cor....nice to see you too opened your 24v controller. I own five 24V, & five 36V EVG ebikes (one mini folder). I was curious if a 24v ebike could use the 36v battery box, as they are exactly the same size. Turns out you can, as the first 15 minute ride proved. Though it will "burn" out the...

    Using Schauer Lead Acid Charger for 30C Lipoly

    Larry...thank you for your postings on the Tidalforce forum. I noticed your first posting on the Zippy 18.5v 8ah batteries & took your lead & ordered two to test. And I've been reading your updated postings too. I've got four TF ebikes, though all still are running the original NiMH front hubs...
