Snowy nailed it, many knowledgeable, considerate and long term forum posters tried to help; generously donated time and knowledge, but here we are with bold red letters blaming all who seek a discourse, truth, evidence, and peer review. Please accept constructive comments, this shared knowledge...

I agree, the value of ES is separating truth from opinion and combating misinformation with knowledge sharing and peer review. Mods, please eliminate forum censoring that retains misinformation in response to individuals with a noisy victim mentality. The resource that is ES is degraded every...

Awesome build, fast and it looks fantastic, and you built it on a pretty tight budget which takes a lot of commitment. Glad you are happy with the result :bolt: :bigthumb: :bolt:

Looking forward to more video. The construction of this bike is so awesome!

Great build and thanks for sharing. Very nice mix of power with low weight and a touch of hand crafted design. The floating triangle battery imbues a lightness to the asthetic.

CD that blue looks amazing, great choice. What's the rim width? Component wise I'll probably run a Sun Ringle Duroc 35 front (30mm), spare 180mm Rockshox lyric, used 57mm Fox CTD, TRP brakes supplied by LMX,11-46 cassette with SLX shifter and mech. Better turn my attention to a battery.

Polycarbonate, what do you intend to use it for? Keep in mind it's hygroscopic. Edit, just realised your comparison thickness varies so maybe the acrylic depending on the application.

Congratulations, inspiring to see such focused collaboration and engineering capability benefit the EV community. This is a so awesome!

Polycarbonate is hygroscopic, I am not sure if this affects the suitability but worth considering.

Thanks Adam, fwiw I think those looking for a larger battery should consider inserting a pack with the rear wheel and shock removed, or a two piece welded pack, or a modular NESE at 14s8p. Note, this opinion is based on my rudimentary estimates so consider with caution.

Exactly, these bikes are a significant investment please keep the early supporters informed. Also, if paint options available a customer email might be a better idea than an ES post.

The discourse about measurement accuracy and precision is fascinating and worthy of a standalone thread with examples/ industry standards. I appreciate EG's effort and those skilled in analysing the real world charcteris of motors, controllers and measurement devices.

Lots of charts and various sources in this thread so I thought this report is of interest: https://www.lazard.com/media/450773/lazards-levelized-cost-of-energy-version-120-vfinal.pdf The premise of the link is an Illustration of how the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) derived from wind and...

Congratulations on achieving your goals. In the preorder offer, can you please consider supplying a small batch of developer kits? For example, supply frame only with motor, rear hub, and drive sprocket. Might help those that want to support LMX but struggle with the full cost of 4583€. Does...

Congrats Recumpence, you build some wild ideas and this is so unique :D I've been following with interest, thanks.
