I am also in the process of preparing the throttle. I ordered a throttle enabled controller. It sits on my workbench, but I expect to have it in by the end of January.

So far I have a 100% miss rate on Aliexpress. By that I mean that in every case that I have places an order (3 so far) I have received the wrong, or no, item. For $10 items I was willing to gamble. For a motor I am relying on to get me to work, no way. Back to the topic at hand, I ahve been...

You would be surprised, I live in China and in my experience the prices are generally a bit higher in China than outside of China. I have even gone so far as to have family purchase "made in China" stuff and mail it back to me. There definitely are very few "great deals." Yes, there is a lot of...

Is there a clear parts list with what parts are needed, and where to get them, for the GNG motors? I am looking at putting together a mid drive for commuting and my priorities are reliability and low maintenance, after that is range. Last for me is raw speed. I am thinking of a mid-drive and a...

I may look at the V2. You are right, I have been reading the thread here, which is about the v3. I am hesitant to purchase the v2 because I do not want to pay full price for an end-of-life product. But I will give it another look.

It doesn't limit the bike to 20mph, it limits the motor assist to 20 mph, if you can pedal faster nothing prevents that. In all, it looks like they copied the text form existing legislation; because I know I have seen that wording somewhere else. Most of it looks like they copied the C.P.C...

I have given a lot of though to the CycleAnalysist; but, I read the CA thread. Here it is, I am only an electronic technician, not an engineer (reading the degree on my wall). Having read the headaches, and reverse engineering, people have gone through to get the CA to work I am not willing to...

The KMX I am looking at seems to come with a tensioner. I am also thinking of the Bafang, I like that the Bafang is a complete, bolt on, unit. I am concerned with the reports of a lack of parts availability for the Bafang. And I do thank you for the stability comment, I really am not too sure...

I am giving strong consideration to building a new toy. I have been looking at this body kit; so seriously looking that I told the maker to sign me up for the next CNC batch. It is built around the idea of a 20” wheel trike. I currently only have two wheel bents and this will be my first foray...

My daughter and I use an e-scooter with a 650W direct drive as our primary transportation. When fully charged it seems to work fine, we normally ride between 35-40kph with both of us on it and 40kph (top regulated speed) if we are alone.

Actually, I am an Economics teacher. Here is a link http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.20.ouCE9i&id=15792829391 to where I got the bike. It is about $800USD.

Actually I do pretty well. I am polite to people and, for all my grumbling, I am considered pretty easy going. As far as the language, no way. I studied Chinese when I was in Grad school and I know less Chinese after six years in China than I did in school. The trouble is that Chinese is not a...

I was actually out on my recumbent. I will say something that may sound a bit harsh; but by western standards China is not bike friendly at all. Very few conventional bikes are seen on the streets. Most of the bicycles are the electric scooter style that have no pedals. Conventional bicycles...

It was in a small city, near Nanjing, called Zhenjiang. I didn't see any pedals; but Chinese law does not require electric bicycles to have pedals. Several of the scooters you see parked on the sidewalk behind it are, according to the law, bicycles. I was out on a three day ride and was...

I was out on a multi-day bicycle ride and I happened to see this oddity. It immediately made me think of the "elf" electric runabout. Yes it is a little beat, it clearly gets use (and it has clearly tipped over at least once). According to local law, it is a bicycle.
