    Perth Group ride around river, Sat 22nd or 23rd Feb

    Hi guys, Well after 5 years in Perth i've decided to take my bat and ball and move back to Brisbane :P I've been missing my mates over there and an opening for me at a previous employer has come up who pays well and is a top bloke so i'd be mad not to take it. Plus rural land is cheaper to buy...

    Perth group ride, Sunday 5th Jan 2014

    Hi all, I was talking to Jesse the other night and he mentioned that he and Rodney had planned to do a ride around Freo this Sunday and anyone was welcome to join them. So i guess we can call this the 1st Perth group ride for 2014 :) I'm not 100% sure on the finer details yet so hopefully...

    Norco Empire 5, 80100, HV140, Neugart

    This bike was my 1st ebike build some years ago but due to the Banebots planetary gearbox constantly breaking, it didn't last long before i sold off the Astro 8150 i used and built another bike using a more reliable Cyclone system. The time has come to start rebuilding the bike along similar...

    72v + users, do you use a pre-charge resistor?

    I've just stepped up from 12s lipo to 20s for another bike and i'm finding the initial plug-in of the battery produces a much larger spark than it did on the 12s setup. Do you guys running say 72v and higher all use pre-charge resistor setups to conserve your plugs? Its really starting to...

    Mac kit problem - solved! The problem was me lol

    I put together a quicky build this afternoon, putting my girlfriends's 8t Mac kit on a hardtail for her to try out before i go to the trouble of chopping up her BigHit frame. I get it all together then go to solder the Deans plug onto the controller lead and find my soldering iron has shat...

    Specialized BigHit + Mac build

    Well i've finally made a start on my girlfriend's BigHit build. We picked up the bike a few weeks ago and have slowly been collecting parts to get it powered up. We went with an 8t HP Mac kit from Cell-Man (can't recommend him highly enough) in a 24" rim. We're also converting the front wheel...

    Norco Empire 5 + 80-100 Outrunner, 5kw

    Hey all, I've decided to rebuild my first build, the Norco Empire 5 bike that once had a planetary gearbox and Astroflight 8150. The Astro has since found a new home in the UK and the crappy cheap-ass planetary gearbox went in the rubbish bin ages ago. Up 'till now i'd planned on transferring...

    Intense M3 + Clyte HT3525 + HD video

    Hey all, A new build for the new year coming up. After much thought i've decided to go with a hub motor for this build, a first for me as i usually prefer to run through the cranks. The main reason i normally go for a mid drive is dictated by the trails i normally ride, or more specifically the...

    HV160 Owners, what loaded RPM are you seeing?

    Calling all HV160 users! Those of you who have checked your data loggers, what actual RPM have you logged under load compared to your motor's stated KV? Especially Astro 197kv 8150 and 3220 owners but all others as well :) Cheers! Paul :D

    Which 37v LiPo batt/charger/balancer combo do ppl recommend?

    Hi all. I'm looking at various 37v 12ah - 20ah Li-Po options for my project bike. At the moment the choices include packs from battery space.com but these are limited to 40amp so would have to buy two and wire up in parallel. The advantage of these for my need is the bms built into it for...
