    Ridehax Podcast (was :Endless Sphere Podcast / Ebike Nerdcast)

    I like the member interviews. I want to hear from the hackers who put in their time on ES and help the new guys like both of you. I don't have a double E background so I am always listening for hacker tips. I don’t waste my time listening if its info commercial s#it or a repeat guest. You got...

    Looking good GC! It’s coming along just like your GT i-drive 2.0 build. I like how you tweak it or make an improvement every week.

    Other uses for the ATF (automatic transmission fluid); Home brew penetrating oil. Mix ATF with acetone 50%/50%. A study done by Machinist's Workshop Magazine (April 2007) looked at different penetrating oils to see which one did the best job of removing a rusted bolt by measuring the pounds of...

    Is your problem the wrong chain size? The plates look to long. Copied this from a bike site. “Bicycle Chain Size When buying a new bicycle chain, you do not really have to worry about the length of the new chain. Bike chains come in a length that is longer than needed, so you have to use a...

    Nep, Oldest son just picked up a 2100 on cL after reading your thread and others here. What was the asking price for the Farfle swingarm? Do you recall? Thanks P.S. that makes 2 more ebikers in the family. Middle son, (e.s. dude) is doing a mongoose build.

    AW, good instincts about the smaller front wheel. Check out this vintage long john cargo bike from the 1920s. Here’s a page for the modern off-spring, the Bullitt from Larry vs Harry. Note the smaller front wheel here also. http://www.larryvsharry.com/

    What Textbooks Or Experimental Equipment Should I Buy....

    The grass is always greener. :roll: If it were me changing careers, I’d just get the EE degree and the license. You want to be taken seriously. If that’s not feasible now, just buy the books in the attached EE syllabus from your alma mater...

    That gotta suck repairing an ebike on the sidewalk with no sleep 17 miles from home. You need a plan “B”. A bus ride on Valley Metro is $1.75. Even if you have to transfer buses to get home, it’s better than trashing yourself and your motor.

    "peak power" - Trek 4300 20" Magic Pie build.

    Hey Nep: I designed you a patch you can wear for the race. It’s a first draft. Still working on the colors. Open for suggestions. I live near a naval air station and we have a shop here in town that the pilots use that can stitch up any design for cheap, too.

    Don’t bullsh@#t the man, Nep. We see the videos. In civilian life you’re a freelance knight of the quarter mile strip, winning back road joust on your chrome-gilt steed exploding like Vesuvius when you wind her out, red lining the ca and doing zee-ro to sixty in five flat, @#$damn, leaving the...

    GMUseless: Great build thread. Your commute sounds familiar. You must live in Daphne or Spanish Fort and work over at McDuffie Island? Would you accept an invitation to speak at our British car club meeting about your build on Tuesday, March 27th at the Lake Forest Yacht Club? 7:00pm I'll PM...

    Dave, Thanks for turning us on to the Magic Pie. What power rating is your MP II? I see three MPs on the golden motor’s web site. I see a 1kw, 1.5kw and 2-3kw. Do you think the latter compares to coveted cromotor at half the price? http://www.goldenmotor.com/

    @Dave, Oh, I thought you were talking about the PPI Hill Climb on July 8th, 2012. :lol: I kept looking for your name on the scratch sheet wondering what division you would register in. I have not looked at the web site very closely but noticed there is an electric vehicle and motorcycle...
