I recall that a Chinese company made a blatant copy of a Honda motorcycle. They simply named it Honga. I am looking at 500w geared hub motors for my 29er. The first couple and cheapest hits I m getting from Amazon is Bafagn. I know that it's all made in China any way, but the Bafang name...

Digging up an older thread for a new question. After I've seen this https://3sk8esk8.com/ Excluding battery cost, that should bring cost of an Eboard down to within my reach. There are hubmotors on Aliexpress/Amazon that can be delivered to New Zealand for a decent price. So my question would...

I've found enough info on converting the input from an ebike throttle to suit a VESC controller. Plenty of tutorials as well, even a novice like me should be able to get it right. What I couldn't find is something that could do the same for the brake impulse from an Ebike brake lever. I am...

Noted thanks I assume it has a little reduction gearbox with a centrifugal clutch? Would it be a 1 speed, or can it change gear like a moped? I assume if it has a gearbox, it is chain drive to the wheel? With a gearbox already there, how about not using a chain drive and run the out runner...

I might've stumbled upon the best donor ever. 33cc moped/goped. Not sure about weight because it definitely won't be aluminum. Even if it may have sprocket and chains, the bigges joke is an outrunner will transfer more torque from standstill than that pencil sharpener motor. But still...

I get why aluminum is the chosen alloy. But with the difficulty of welding it, I often wonder if 1 mm thick mild steel lasercut template strategically folded would not provide enough rigidity. Sure welding thin ms isn't easy either but it can be done, not relying on specialized welders for the...

Your scooter already bought? The Yedoo Mezeq have 20front 16 rear, and disc brakes. Also apparently a high tensile frame and fork. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Hi all I realize that this might be a dumb one, but the search function didn't give results. Anyone had any dealings or experience with the company? It looks like they sell just about everything except Lipos. As well as spares for new and old escoots. Any references? Thanks Sent from my...

It looks like mild steel square tubing for your frames? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Sorry I saw it's aluminium

That is a very, very good piece of work. Well done. Taken it rock crawling yet? My next comment is based on extensive 4x4ing, and having no experience with mountain boards. But i think you are going to miss the solid axle shaft. Rule of thumb is is good articulation lessens the need for diff...

Bump. Waar is jy heen? Or did you succumb to the student life Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Very well made. Helps to have access to machining equipment

Was fun. Until my mom found out. Thanks for the leads. Will follow your build with keen interest

Nou toe nou. Groete uit Gauteng! It is a bit too late now, but I found a local shop that sells hobbyking stuff. Junctionhobbies.biz they are in Pretoria. They don't stock parts individually, they sell kits. I called they recon I can order and they can bring in if I don't mind waiting. Have...
