    3 of the eelectrico 10.5ah 48v ncr18650ga packs

    traded for these in the fall and i have 3 left. rather than have them kicking around i figured i would sell them as they are great packs for the money. I will take pics tomorrow, my daughter was up all night with a cold so I'm on like two hours sleep. Some of you are familiar with these, they...

    Converting fleet of citibike style share bikes- front hub vs bbs01

    I had an owner of a local business that does app based bike sharing contact me- he was considering converting some to electric. Terrain is mainly flat, there are a couple areas nearby with mild hills that 350w should be plenty for and he was clear that he wants to limit the top speed assist to...

    Can i tap charging lead to draw small power for light?

    I was wondering if it would be possible to connect a small load (.5a) to the charging lead to draw power for a light? It will be much easier to tap into cables of that size as everything else is 10 gauge and pretty tightly secured. Part of me says yes, but part of me isn't sure if it will cause...

    Bafang g310 in 700c/29er rim

    edit- sold First off we have a wheel i bought last year? from neptronix. It was a grin build with a bafang g310 and 700c/29er rim that i believe had the phase wires upgraded. disc brake/cassette freehub body. This motor had some nice features like round axles and integrated torque washers so...

    Lightly used BBS02 kit with SW102, Electrify programmed(<300mi, 1/month old)

    Regretfully selling this BBS02 i ordered about 6 weeks ago. The bike is getting too much in the way of riding my regular bikes for the exercise. Its surprisingly fast - will pull my 27.5" urban assault/gravel bike to 34-35 on throttle only, PAS1 of 9 is good for about 18mph average. The problem...

    How fast would you go before considering wearing protective gear?

    Granted crashing at 40 on one bike won't be much different than crashing at 40 on another But I broke 40 for the first time the other night drafting a car on my cheapo bargain basement carbon bargain basement bbs02 full rigid bike. I literally built this thing with almost all parts bin...

    Parallel-ing Two ALMOST identical packs

    I am considering running two 13s2p Ncr21700t packs. One would be in a long configuration (2 rows of 13). the second is set up as 4 rows to fit in a seat bag and be more compact. not sure if i explained that right. anyway, would the different layout and minor difference in nickel strip length...

    Wife wants a scrambler style bike. Looking for some input

    I built my wife a beautiful hybrid with a tsdz2 but she wants to pedal less. I did a lot of work making it stealthy, it has a seat bag battery with the wires running through the seat post and down the frame, and all internal routing. I swapped the wheels over to 650 B to lower the stand over...

    9c clone DD, How much power to make it hit like a BBSHD

    So I played around with the calculator on grin. It appears the bbs are rated for like 150nm Of torque but I am assuming that that is at the crank And at the wheel it would assume a one to one gear ratio to equal that power. Factoring in a standard cassette with say a 32 tooth low gear, I'd...

    Picked up this freebee on the side of the road...

    Missing a few parts which I have plenty of but otherwise no worse for the wear. Debating between throwing on a TSDZ2 with a shark pack i have laying around and flipping it or putting a DD rear hub on 3k and making it a fun project for myself The frame is pretty damn sturdy and appears more...

    was it PSWPOWER that was the more reputable el cheapo pack vendor? asking for a friend

    Hey guys, I remember amongst all of the sellers of the lower tier shark packs there were sort of a few better regarded people that were selling them. I know there have been a few complaints with UPP lately And vaguely recall somebody saying that PSW had decent cheap packs that seems to do...

    Baserunner/Phaserunner with NO CA- am i correct in my assumption?

    Working on a stealth build and ideally it would have nothing on the bars. I like the form factor of the baserunner as a standalone but am only familiar with this family of controllers in conjunction with the cycle analyst Once configured via computer, i should be able to run this without issue...

    Working rear triangle to accommodate different hub widths. How much is too much

    I seem to struggle to find a definitive answer, i know i have done as much as 5mm with no issue...yet i see old school cyclocross and road guys posting looking for 126mm hubs cause they can't use 130, etc I also know that different materials and construction will change the variables a bit...

    Could this be quite the bargain?

    Probably not but we will see. I was looking for a pack like this and the seller specifically stated NCR21700t cells. What is interesting is that all of their other listings don't specify the cell and don't show pictures, and this one has a hand written 9.6ah capacity rather than checking off the...

    no bms ok for 10s1p minimalist build?

    hi all, Just getting ready to make a couple 1p Micro packs with Samsung 40t 21700 For a stealth build that I would typically use RC battery packs for. as I am trying to keep the form factor as small as possible I was looking to run these with no BMS. In my mind, it's OK, I'm not doing it for a...

It's an old 90s hardtail with a DD front motor, bomber z3 with a little under 3 inches of travel and v brakes.

    Emergency...Is this a good deal?

    Happened to see this out in front of a local tourist rental place this afternoon. My wife was mentioning a scooter so i just might go for it. from my initial research it looks like anything comparable in terms of specs is typically 1000+ this is pretty clean with barely any wear on it, and most...

    Hub motors with 10mm axles

    Looking to compile a list of hubs that have 10mm axles and can properly recess into most dropouts without filing. from what i gather from Justins extensive research and documentation, it seems the bafang g310 and the GMAC will properly fit into most bikes without filing. For those of us wanting...

    Anyone build a chinese carbon hardtail with a mid drive?

    I was looking with curiosity at some of these open mold Chinese frames like the BXT and tideace. A lot of them have pressfit bottom brackets but it appears that a few still have threaded BSA cups. I was wondering how these things hold up to the thrashing that some thing like a BBSHD or cyclone...

    Apples to pomegranates? Q100 vs TSZD2 for low speed trail riding

    Looking to build a simple off road rig for my 61 year old mother. She used to be a decent rider 20+ years ago. Began riding less and less and now doesn't really go out at all since getting ovarian cancer a few years ago, from which she's recovered but doesn't have the stamina she did after a...

    Amy advantage to mid drive on a single speed vs geared hub motor

    As the title states, as a fun winter project I was looking on bikes direct at a 27.5 plus single speed to convert. not sure how much of a disadvantage I would be at running a mid drive seeing as how there is no gearing benefit but in the back of my mind I was thinking something like a TSDZ2...
