    Exclusive unboxing of the VESC-X by Enertion

    Someone needs to wash that flux off those boards..

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    Well, I put in some work on a mount extension after breaking the belt I had for the previous setup. I'm now running a 72t sprocket on the wheel end for 1:5. Before where I would cog too hard to start from a standstill, now there's just minor cogging. It climbs hills with a lot less strain...

    Honda Ruckus conversion plans..

    Those clones are pretty poorly built, otherwise people wouldn't start with Genuine Honda parts to begin with. The front frame's pretty horrid on those, for example, compared to the aluminum cast one Honda puts out. I put this on the back burner since I bought a onewheel, I may revisit...

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    I could cut out a new carbon fiber extension to use with the enertion mount - or aluminum, I have stock of both and a shapeoko 3, so I'll probably redo the mount before I do anything else. I've got a variety of sprockets printed out, 56t, 60t, 70t and belts from 320t up to 480t, so it's just a...

    Dual Drive single motor MTB

    Can you make it? It's very well thought out but very difficult to implement.

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    Oh yea, some observations. It goes faster than I want to go already, but cogs on startup without a push and won't climb a hill unless it's at speed. I'm guessing dual motors is the answer to both problems. After 5 miles, the ESC is totally cool but the motor itself is pretty hot. At 10 miles...

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    In the end, I ended up not running a 3d printed motor mount, I bought some caliber trucks and an enertion mount a year ago and ended up running 14:42 due to lack of belts and mounting options. After putting a few hundred miles on the setup, I got tired of all the gear up top. I wanted to keep...

    Honda Ruckus conversion plans..

    I really appreciate the photoshop - I hadn't considered that space for batteries. I had checked out the options on hybridautocenter, sourcing a pack of tesla cells, etc. I guess if I can get 15 miles of range I'd be pretty happy, that would get me to work and back, 20 would be better. Do you...

    Honda Ruckus conversion plans..

    Not me in the photo, though I'm sure once the EV conversion is done she'll take it for a spin. For batteries, in order to save space and in order to meet the ME0708's amp demands, I was considering some of luna cycle's newer 48v Panasonic GA 18650 packs - two would meet the 100a draw...

    Honda Ruckus conversion plans..

    Hey all, I built an electric onda board based off info I've scraped off the site here over the years, and I often commute on a BBS02-driven hardtail 29er. I primarily ride a long, low Honda Ruckus as a commuter vehicle, and I'm planning on building an EV ruckus. A few years ago I built a 170cc...

    Scooterson electric scooters

    Nice first post. Looks a bit like a copy of the Scrooser http://scrooser.com/en/home/ Only, Romanian instead of German.

    eLongboard - plastic is fantastic :D

    What stops the torque of the motors from pulling up on the angle of the mount? I don't see any grub screws and the truck looks round.

    Gogoro scooter

    Yea, I just watched the first video again and what I thought was a variator is just a sprocket.. neat.

    Gogoro scooter

    What's the advantage of variating an electric motor? I thought running it through a secondary gearbox (especially a CVT) would be a big drag?

    Markforged

    Continuously tensioned strand. It doesn't need to be part of the filament, just introduced into the toolpath while the thermoplastic is melted.

    Speedometer? Brakes?

    sune pedersen's ondaboard has servo actuated bike disc brakes, he's posted up on here (and all the STL files on thingiverse)

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    Just got a second GT2B to tear apart to try to model something that uses al stock components, did anyone else have to physically break theirs near the battery connector just to get it to pry apart? Glad I didn't tear into my first one.

    I've got maybe 12 miles on the 120a ESC so far, the motor is an NTM 5060 270kv.

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    Good point. I'll need to do some math to figure out how long of a belt to test out, but I do want to try a few different ratios until I find the one that's right. A coworker finished up a CNC mill project so it looks like I can get the mounts made pretty soon without having to make my own...

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    Thanks, I just put about 5 miles on them and found the battery tray likes to break off right where I velcro the battery in, so instead I'm just wrapping velcro around the whole deal and not using the slots. The unfortunate nature of 3d printing is that if I wanted it stronger vertically I'd have...

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    I think I screwed up again. The Hobbyking 120a ESC is rated '5-10 cells Ni-xx (NiMH / NiCd) 2-4 cells Li-Po' but I'm running it 6s lipo. It hasn't overheated yet so I'll probably just run it until it dies. I need to read more carefully in the future, though.

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    Wow that's too bad about the 3d prints coming out so striated. I like to use the same 2 part epoxy your printer used, its meant to remove the striation lines and should strengthen the print quite a bit if done right. I only have one GT2B right now but I'm grinding through all the posts here to...

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    Thanks, I wanted to get all the gear under the board so it wouldn't look so 'directional' but there's no way to make it stealthy either way, so I'll deal with it. I'll probably test out getting the electronics under the board AFTER the long weekend of riding ;)

    Another Electric Onda Board..

    A bit of an update - I ended up mounting stuff on top even though I kinda wanted it on the bottom. For now I sketched up a little ESC/switch/TX mount and a battery mount that fits through the truck holes. Both aren't permanent and can be replaced pretty easily. I also ended up re-iterating...
