Looks nice! Do you ride in the snow? I'm converting my fatbike mainly for that purpose. Snowmobile trails are great on manual power once they are well packedl, but a lot of work otherwise!

Check out the Litelok X1, that's what I've got for my fatbike, little larger internal space and similar toughness ratings: https://us.litelok.com/products/litelok-x1#specifications

Thanks for breakng the ice that seems to have formed... @neptronix looking forward to you getting the battery and other parts to see how it goes for you. Any learning you do (as well as @nervagon and others) will help mine go better when it show up!

Looks really nice! I've liked that Photon since they introduced it, and if it would fit on my CF frame I'd probably installed one already. Glad you got a setup you're happy with

I don't think its silly at all and I am glad they put in the effort to keep the weight down. When I see a product that is crudely designed or non-optimized in the physical package it always makes me wonder what other corners were cut. Also, I worked hard in my fatbike build that the motor will...

It was in this forum just last week: https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/threads/lightest-bike-1-7kg-1000w-mid-drive.103429/post-1798645 I guess Matteo didn't Explicitly say its not available, but he didn't reply to my followup a couple days later either. Hope you get a better answer

Did you find a different source for a larger motor pinion? Obviously Bikee won't provide as they just dashed me down when I asked. I'm not able to measure the output shaft or spline count as I don't have one in hand, appears to be about a 30 fine spline by the few photos.

My 48V battery is ready & waiting........and waiting..

Exactly. My point was that because a larger motor pinion would make the motor spin slower, it would make the top speed higher for offroad use. Also the larger motor pinion would slightly raise the chain and give more clearance for a larger chainring. Maybe it would only be suited to 1000W...

@Pilot Engineer, Is a larger motor pinion gear available? I know it was early on, then you settled on a 10T, maybe to allow clearance for the torque arm and idler. A larger pinion gear would solve the higher top speed dilemma for Offroad/Unrestricted use, or when a larger chainring is needed...

nervagon, you are just too much of a powerhouse and pulling the torque sensor to full deflection with ease! In reality, results on torque sensing will vary by install as it looks like the standard and in-frame style torque arm are slightly different length and motor orientation/spacing probably...

Can you just enter 16" for the wheel diameter?

Did you get the Superhero kit? I thought that is supposed to have a lighting port controlled from panel

Interesting filament, looks cheap too at $18-22/kg! Gonna try it out, maybe a substitute for the expensive CF/PC I've been using.

Looks very nice! I do a fair bit of printing myself & really like PETG for its toughness. What did you glue the sections together with? PETG is notoriously difficult to glue!
