I have 3 batteries for the bike. The oem battery box built with Tesla 21700 5000mah cells 14sx3p, the other two 3d printed batteries one with LgHg2 3000mah 18650 cells 14sx5p and the other with Sanyo 3400mah 18650 cells 13sx7p.

Time to upgrade/extra battery for more zooming time. Ive finally learned to use a cad software to draw up my battery box. It took a bunch of trials of 20+ hrs per print to get the right one lol but it’s all worth it.

Got another set of wheels, 27.5” sun ringle mulefut 80mm with Bontrager gnarwal front and barbegarzi rear-both tubeless. Definitely make it a lot easier to steer and feel like a normal bike but still can float on soft wet sand. I wasn’t able to find a mastodon ext anywhere, all out of stocks...

Headlight and tail light. Turns on by oem control, brake sensor also trigger tail light on.

Lol no I never discussed any detail parts of the build. The lacing wasn’t intentionally twisted at first. But due to extra 4mm length, error on my part, I put 2 twists to them. According to a pro wheel lacing on YouTube it’s just as strong so I’m not too concern. Already put over 30miles on...

Yes, I sprayed paint it myself. New wheels on new rolly Polly...under black light it’s like a TRON bike

Matching wheels laced. Ready to roll in styles!

Here it is

Man, maybe someone can help you 3d print that part then cast in aluminum. It’ll be solid ! Great build btw, I’m definitely following.

I think you can order the frame from their website already. It’s a bit pricey but it does have warranties unlike buying direct from China. :bigthumb:

Still waiting on parts to arrive. I was hoping to cram as much as 21700s in the tube but the safest bet I can see right now is 14s3p config, 52v15A. Maybe it’ll just tether to backpack if needed later. I plan on having 2sets of wheels, one street tires and one off road/sand beach.

The long waited carbon frame arrived in early Jan. It’s over a month from ordering til delivered.

Without those enthusiasm and sacrifices, then how would the “professionals” know anything? I applaud those come in with a naive attitude hoping for the best. But with any new start ups, there will be problems and hiccups. Hopefully, overtime they will improve.

It’s the “child-like”part of us generates inventions. The so-called “professionals” are just a bunch of 2nd rated on lookers.

It’s people who took a risk and live to tell the stories that are the real heroes. That’s why we have forums to spread goods along with bad stories. A “professional” is just a title someone decided to slap it on himself after a so called “years of experienced” learn from those who risked and...
