Yes! Bike is sold. I gave the frame and bike to my cousin who enjoys DH, and sold the electrics. It was a project I was glad to do :)

I'm considering selling/splitting my eBike -what do you reckon it's worth? Giant DH Comp, Fox 40s, Astro 3220 with Matt's DaVinci drive, HV160, Cycle Analyst, .75KWH barely used Turnigy Lipo - are the basics. I probably spent over £4K on parts, experiments, and the lot, but I know it's not...

Cool build! If you're going offload, make some keeper plates for your back chainring. Lateral chain movement from general riding can whip the chain off the ring. Very reliable after that. Check my build for a pic, although I'm sure you know what I'm describing

I miss riding this thing. Here's a video I took a few months ago. The power was dialled down to 100 amps and ran cooler, went for longer, and was generally more fun (wheelies not flips). JxFhQ45t0LU *video replaced with sound*

Subscribed. Matt has been raving about your fabrication skills. I can see why! He has my giant dh comp / 3220 setup so when that gets up and running I hope you will be a RC convert! Is it possible to weld to the giant frame to customise it? Could put a motor cover on it

So Endless Sphere...long time! The bike was sitting, with dead cell batteries for several months, and a forum member Matt 'idontwanttopedal' has kindly offered to take a look at it, while helping his build, get it up and running and have some fun on it when it's all fixed. As he's much faster...

Dude, that is sick!!! How far can you go like that? Does your motor get hot? I hope you're wearing protection....

You may want to try a bmx chain. Slightly thicker, and fits the same cogs (spacing is the same). I got a KMC (IIRC) chain which took peaks of 7-9,000 watts without snapping. Very strong

Why would you want to remove your batteries all the time? It's like designing a removable fuel tank. Just put the fuel in, use it, fill it up, use it... that's it. You then benefit from having a more sturdy protection because it's designed to stay put.... or something! (obviously fuel is more...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Minimal interaction with the batteries is my preferred method of use. Simply because it's a two man job to get the battery box on and off. They were methods LVC boards which are famed for their low current consumption, so unless there is something wrong with...

Heres an old pic.

You keep that thing locked up outside? Is it waterproof? What would happen if a kid tries to play with it, is it dangerous?

I've spent so many months on this now, I just don't have the time to put into it again. I've completely rebuilt the pack several times before and I've got the "I need to do it all myself" thing out of my system. I'm specifically looking for someone else who is more skilled/eager/available to...

Came back to the bike and 3 cells, paralleled 3 times (ie 3 whole packs) now have dead readings. I'm not going to try and rescue them, as I don't think I could ever trust them again. In the bin they go. Anyway, I'm interested in buying a pre-made pack. Two output cables, and two Hyperion...

Hi all, I have a 12S3P Turnigy LiPo setup. After leaving it for a month, both times I've come back and 3 cells (in 3 separate packs) have been pulled down to zero. That's £300 of batteries that are now dead. This is having left them completely unplugged, the only thing connecting them is a...
