    AKM-100H 350W motor configs 48V-328RPM vs 36V-201/260RPM

    Elon Musk - The Master thread

    Hi guys. I figured Elon Musk deserves a master thread, as he does so much stuff from digging super holes via his "Boring Company" to aiming to cover the world with internet via his Starlink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_(satellite_constellation) I know I like to criticise a lot but I...

    Windows Gaming PC hardware, building, troubleshooting, & benchmarking

    The main reason MS do it is that it's cheaper to support only one OS, that being the newest one. Having security experts code fixes for Windows 7 etc is expensive. This is why they kind of gave away Windows 10 for win7 users its ultimately just cheaper easier for MS. I too am still on the X58...

    Mass Shooting in Christchurch Mosques/Free Speech

    I wanted to just post on a popular local Australian forum forums.whirlpool.net.au about the "Mass Shooting in Christchurch Mosques" but there they are so biased that it is literally impossible to post an opinion on there and not get blocked.

    Ebikes and negative media

    I don't think there is a "Negative Media on ebikes" thread so I figured I should start one. Today an ebiker rided his ebike through a major underground tunnel in Melbourne today, the Burnley Tunnel, it hit all the major state news sites/tv stations. The Burnley tunnel is 3.4km long underground...

    Tesla Autopilot issues

    I thought I would create a dedicated topic on this because its probably going to hit headlines longterm. Personally I just couldn't believe it when Tesla came out with Autopilot without lidar technology which every other car marker says is crucial. To me its insanely obvious that Elon dismissed...

    Russian Airbus A321 crashed in Egypt

    When I saw the news that ISIL had claimed responsibility but it had quickly been rebuffed by Russian officials etc I thought fair enough. But at the same time I thought 'out of the all the airliners that could fall out of the sky in the middle east, what are the odds that it was a Russian plane...

    Calls for Chapel Street car-free zone which is a big old shopping street in Melbourne. https://au.news.yahoo.com/vic/video/watch/25233484/calls-for-chapel-street-car-free-zone/ A lot of anger from car motor heads against such an idea but I think it would be great. Interestingly I almost got...

    Electric this 250cc Quad ATV

    Hi guys, I am trying to fix this Chinese quad ATV but I am thinking even if I get it going again it probably won't be long again before something else goes wrong. While I have lived in the ebicycle forum for a few years I am pretty clueless on electrifying motorbikes or quad atvs using mid...

    Hey Guys, Been thinking about building a ebike that would be a 29er type. I noticed a lot (if not most) of 29er bikes in my local bike shops come with hydraulic disc brakes these days and was wondering how that affects an ebike build? The cost of these bikes aren't much more so I thought I...
