    Need some help Troubleshooting an El Mundo

    Dear ES, I have been tasked with finding the problem with my fathers Yuba El Mundo e-cargo bike. Here are the basics: Ezee 350 watt geared motor in front wheel, 36V Factory build. Out of warrantee, so this is the first option. While riding recently (in the rain) the power started cutting in...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Thanks for the info SM. Would using the Alex DM24 rim with 3D drilling make a difference? From Ebikes.ca website: "Alex Rims has been offering 3D drilling of their spoke nipple holes in the rim to allow the nipple to exit at an angle rather than radially inwards, and we got a large number of...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Why? I'm looking for a top speed of low 30's (MPH) and to cruise along around 25 Mph. I was under the impression that 20" wheels are stronger than an equivalent 26" or 700c. I thought the moped rims/tires were more for extreme power levels? I would prefer to stick to standard bicycle parts, but...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Thanks for the feedback! I am interested in making a dual 20" 406 "Mid tail" bike. More or less like a Juiced Riders ODK, but with a triangle to carry the battery. I started another thread in the General Discussions section. If anyone could help me out over there (as not to hijack this thread)...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    I am interested in getting a 1500W Leaf motor in a 20" rim. Should I get just the hub and build the wheel myself, or is the quality pretty good? I'm leaning toward just getting the hub and finding some matching rims and building the wheels. Thanks for the feedback.

    Looking for advice on 20" Cargoish build

    Dogman, Thanks for the reply and your experience with the 20" wheels. My original experience with 20" came on a recumbent, RANS Rocket. I toured the pacific coast on that bike with a BOB. Loved the 20s, the BOB was OK. I find it kind of hard to wheel around a bike with the BOB attached. I...

    Looking for advice on 20" Cargoish build

    Hi Jonathan, I saw your post and I like the bike, but I don't think that will solve my storage issues. Right now my bike is just too long (and wide with the 'wide load bars' or whatever they're called, I'll take them off soon thou). I am interested in something about the size of a 3/4 mundo...

    I have a question about geared hub motor.

    Hi Einars, I'm certainly no expert, but I think I can handle this. If you pedal your bike up to 20kph, but the motor is only able to move you to 16kph, you will freewheel. You won't break it. If the motor is moving you along at 25kph, but you can only pedal to 20kph, you won't help the...

    Looking for advice on 20" Cargoish build

    Hello ES! So I am looking to get into the parts ordering phase of my build. I have a Yuba Mundo with a StokeMonkey 36V. My problem with the Mundo is that it is just more bike than I need. It's cumbersome for me to put in the garage and get around, I never use it close to its capability. I like...

    Mac 6T 20" wheel, 40 amp controller.. good idea?

    I love the idea of this and am considering something very similar. I am just looking for a hub motor that is compatible with a spline cassette. I don't want to be limited to 7 gears on the rear cassette. Any ideas? Lupulin

    LightningRods mid drive kit

    Has anyone tried LRs kit on an Edgerunner, or any other bike with a 20" 406 rear wheel. Is the gearing pretty easy to adjust? What kind of gear inch range do you get? What kind of top speed could I expect with a 48V 30A setup?

    My first Ebike, Yuba Mundo StokeMonkey!!!

    Thanks for the concern, but the Mundo's seat post is 500mm x 31.8mm. It's a large and stout seat post. What I'm asking about is a new charger for this headlight: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QQX3C4/ref=oh_details_o09_s02_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    My first Ebike, Yuba Mundo StokeMonkey!!!

    Somehow I lost the charger to this headlight listed above by teklektik. Does anyone know where I can get a new one without buying a whole new package? It wouldn't be the worst thing (about $20.00) but I hate having extra stuff lying around.

    Bafang BBS0x tool

    I was had been looking to purchase a Bafang BBS02 kit for a while. I think I remembered in the 100+ page thread somewhere that when you are installing the kit, you had to use a bicycle specific tool that kinda mostly did the job if you held it out at an angle just right it was mostly on. Can...

    My first Ebike, Yuba Mundo StokeMonkey!!!

    Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'm leaning more toward the V3. I like the look of the larger screen and the idea of "future proofing" I would hate to save a little now, and regret it later and then get a V3. I have been down that road before. Here are a couple more pics. P.S. Teklektik...

    My first Ebike, Yuba Mundo StokeMonkey!!!

    Mlt34, How long have you had the light you recommended? I was reading some of the reviews on Amazon, and it seems like many people have the battery dying after 3 weeks?? Not sure I love that, but it is half the cost of a Magicshine. I may just take a gamble. I wonder if the battery is getting...

    My first Ebike, Yuba Mundo StokeMonkey!!!

    I was just looking at the Ebikes.ca website and saw they are still producing a CA 2.3. My question is should I purchase a CA 2.3 or 3.0? This is going to be on a longtail cargo bike with a 36V 14 ah battery driving a StokeMonkey mid drive system. I have run the bike fairly hard and up some...
