    Off-The-Shelf Ebike. Worth it?

    Hi mate, I’ve built a few hub powered bikes up in the past in 2-4.5kw configuration. I’m into my mountain biking and dirt biking and own a couple of each. I want a surron and been following them from the beginning on here and Facebook but a little on the fence atm for my needs plus concerned...

    Norco Sight VLT 2 first impressions

    Hi Brian, I think the Giant is a little porkier than the VLT at nearly 24kg with pedals. Yes tailing a multi kw ebike not a great idea soon as it opens up a little can imagine your lungs would be busting Enjoy your bike Mike

    Norco Sight VLT 2 first impressions

    Hi Brian, Nice bike and hope you’re enjoying it. Had my eye on the sight vlt and I too recently purchased a giant trance e +1. Have been following emtb evolve and built a few hub motor set ups over the years which were great for light off road but horrible for proper mountain biking. For...

    Very tidy again Allex. Such clean builds. Are you running 24" wheels again on this beta? Mike

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Yes I know its way beyond the rating and am impressed it lasted so long. I was running a mac10t in the past and slowly increased the current draw with the lead. Been at this current level for the past 6 months. I know the wise thing to do is to replace the controller with a 18fet but i'm...

    Disconnected the phase wires and the added resistance gone. Blown controller. Cheers for the tip!!!

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Thread bump. Been loving my 5t leaf 1500w the past 16 months but I think I might have just wounded it and would like an opinion or 2 as to what went wrong before I start pulling things apart. As a little background the Leaf is set up on a 2011 Giant Reign (DS) and is used purely for offroad...

    Electrikhana 2015 - March 7th RAC Driving Centre

    Looking forward to my first attendance at this event. Would be good advertising for the Stealth dealer in balcatta around the corner from me to make an appearance though they most probably are aware of the event. Does anyone know if Zero motorcycles will be conducting test rides and if so what...

    Stealth FUTR owners builds and pics

    Not everyone would know where Karrinyup road is but its at my door step Most Sunday mornings along Cottesloe (though haven't ventured that way in a few months) when I'm on the racer there's a guy that rides his black bomber up n down the strip, he'll always pull off some nice long wheelies when...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Looks awesome Alex!! Post some videos once it's completed I've been riding my leaf powered ebike into work lately a few times. Never done really any 'efficient' rides. 27km trip one way, using ~5200mah average speed 29.5kmhr. Helping pedal of course. Gearing is a little short to pedal more...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Nice one by leaf to offer a Mavic 319 rim Allex. I've never had a reading from the thermistor with my cav3 even when changing thermistor type and changing calibration. Just 0v. Its connected correctly, but there must be something going on in the motor. My bearings have a slight amount of play in...

    Controller efficiciency differences for speed 2 vs 3?

    Thanks teklektic exactly what I was after With regards to the CA I'm using 'pass thru' throttle mode. Is this the Controller at work here? I have all the Ramps turned up as I prefer a more sensitive throttle. I found Current throttle mode too laggy. I have the em3ev 3 position speed switch...
