I got two Magic Shine 808Es, 3 mode, with handlebar mount button, at LED Action Lights, http://www.action-led-lights.com/ They sell them with or without the batteries. They ship from Illinois, USA and are reputable. Check out their wide angle lens too as it can convert the beam spread on the...

I checked Home Depot, Canadian Tire. Nothing there, not even just the nut. Can OP post where he got his?

Found this thread(!) after stripping part of the thread on the axle of my BMC V2-T just the other day. As background, I am running Dr. Bass torque plates on a Giant Trance and recently installed the Ezee wire protector (http://www.ebikes.ca/store/ezee_manual_V20.pdf) to finally protect the...

Shawn - good to see you on here. Do post some pictures of your bike or put them up on your website.

I have been several times to Rosspar, first to get some Andersons (they're a master distributor), then later for some work on repairing a battery, and finally help with my latest build including installing torque plates. Phil is my contact there, great guy, super helpful. I couldn't be happier...

http://www.worldcarfans.com/112050844104/audi-teases-urban-e-bike-with-freestyle-trials-rider-video Daimler just started taking orders for their Smart ebike. Seems like Audi didn't want to be left behind. Looks pretty sweet :) although hard to see very much in the video.

I got the 40 amp 36-72V controller Crystalyte controller that Ilia bundles in the kit. It is fine as I am not drawing more than 25 amps max briefly when going up hills. Most of the time it is drawing around 600-700 W when cruising at top speed on flats. The controller only warms up slightly on...

I got this set up in a kit from Ilia at ebikessf.com (the battery is a 10 Ah 50 V LiFePO4). I got it last year and have been using it more or less continuously for daily commuting since then. I am very satisfied with the kit. It gives me a 25 mph / 40 kmh top speed with very good pull / torque...

I highly recommend Ilia of ebikessf.com.

I ride my bike everyday to work so far this winter. It's been around -5C to -10C with some days down to -14C here in Toronto. This is before the wind chill. I just take the battery inside, let it sit for 1/2 hour to warm up, then charge. On the bike, the battery is in a Topeak rack bag with lots...

I like the looks of this bike! I would be interested what the specs are. Hopefully it will go into production with a reasonable price tag. :lol:

My German is a little rusty - but I could make out 3 million euro development cost and two week production time. So no wonder it costs what it does.

Forgot to mention . . . They supply and install Bionx kits.

I'm in Don Mills. I have used the local Skiis and Biikes. They're pretty good. I got them to help me with the non electric bike parts of my bike and lacing the hub motor to a wheel. I did the rest of the "install" as far as the electric components go myself. There isn't that much to do - find a...

To revive a stale thread, here's a question: if you can get 1000 cycles with a 100% discharge or 2000 cycles with a 50% discharge, isn't that the same? Yes, you do get longer cycle life with a lower DOD, but in the end you would have got the same amount of energy from your battery, and you only...
