Long time no post... So I’ve got a phase runner wired up to the cycle analyst and I’m having some issues. After accelerating for a while I’ll get a throttle error and the motor stops accelerating, after a second or two I can accelerate again. Any tips on how to fix this? Also, I’ll post some...

Hey people here’s a banana for scale.

I bought a “new (other)” hailong battery pack of some guy on eBay :lol: it‘s 48v 14.5ah Sanyo cells that was marked as open box, the battery worked well for a a couple miles and then the voltage would sag down to and the bike would shut off. Looked through some forums here and I understand it...

Bought the Ogre, considering building it up myself or just taking it to a shop. Building it is really daunting, but I feel as thought once I’ve figured it out I probably wouldn’t want to ever do it any other way, and I love that feeling. On the other hand, I’ll be barreling down a busy NYC...

I am actually looking to use a single speed drivetrain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m considering the surly ogre and surly straggler frame to build up from with a rear mounted 12t motor. I like the way the straggler looks more than the ogre but it has forward exiting horizontal rear drop outs (straggler) and I’m not sure if there’s any advantages to the rear exiting ones on...

I am deciding between the surly ogre and straggler frames. Straggler has a forward-exiting horizontal rear drop out and the ogre has a horizontal slotted with an optional vertical dump-out. I really like the looks of the straggler, but the ogre seems easier to install a torque arm onto. What do...

I just like the fact that keeping the seat post and handlebars means I don’t have to spend more money :lol: , but it looks like the seat post won’t fit, so I’ll need to replacement and a new front wheel for sure. Any recommendations on a brake set up? Maybe I’ll get a suspension seat post...

I’m strongly considering getting a Surly Ogre frame and building that thing up with a single speed. I’m going to see if I can salvage my handlebars and seat/seat post on the street king and use it on the new frame...will be getting my digital caliper delivered today... Any thoughts on this?

I mean is it really that hard to stretch this thing a little more than half an inch? :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a rear 12t from Em3ev last night and a new rigid chomoly fork the other day to fit to this bike I detailed all this above^^ :wink:

I want to get on the road ASAP for sure, I was actually refunded for the battery, which actually is a huge positive being that if I were to fix it, I would have a FREE battery to use. Admittedly, the motor never fit properly, but the bike I'm using is "free" (the thing is like 7 years old and...

***CORRECTION*** Wyatt has emailed me stating the rear spacing is 120mm.

That’s a great idea, there’s a steel fabricator down the block by me that has pictures of bike frames on his google page. I left him a voicemail asking if he could weld on a custom drop out plate. I’d assume rim brakes wouldn’t be an option if I were to move the wheel that far back, so I guess...
