With my Bafang HD 1000 it would be nice to be able to catch up to the motor with pedal input for road rides and having a little taller gearing would be nice. I am running a Sturmey 3 speed on the rear so there is...

    50% charge for storage....why?

    I am wondering if someone can explain why it's good practise to only charge to 50% rather than full charge if you are not going to use your battery pack for a month or two. I have 18650 packs and I know this charging senerio is recomended by everyone in the know but I just don't understand why...

    Cactus Question

    Out for a road ride this morning and passed a city worker weed wacking the scruffy area next to the side walk. All the cactus bits were scattered all over the road which caught me pretty good. I even got some up my shirt. I had slime in the tires ahead of time so this was good and seems to be...

    Buckeye Arizona trail ride anyone?

    I am in the Buckeye Arizona area for a couple of months and I have brought my ebike along. I have scouted out some trails the other day that look good for some off road fun on the ebike.

    -TADPOLE HUMOUR-

    I have been interested in some of the tilting tadpole designs out there. They look like so much fun to ride. I ran across this video that I found quite funny ( maybe its just the cider talking here as I have had a few ). Hats off to the guy that came up with all the ideas to make this work but...

    Steintrike video ....what happened

    There was a very cool video of a full suspension TILTING tadpole. I believe it was a Steintrike and most likely a non motorized version. I found the link on the forum here a few day back and enjoyed the u-tube video. Now when I go back to view it again it says "Private". The link to the video I...

    Battery Warmer

    Its getting a bit cold out in the garage these days and I wonder if something like this electric battery warmer would be a good idea to keep my pack at a good pre ride temp? It says 50 watt so I am guessing it would not cost much more than running a light bulb to keep it on through out the...

    Freewheel removal if hub not laced to rim

    Up to my usual tricks today. I pulled apart an rim and spokes today to use for a new Mac motor.
