    Temporary flat tire fixes....

    So I've heard of the dollar bill trick. Wrapping a dollar around the puncture to limp you home. I took a 2" sheetrock screw through both layers. I had a pump, $5, two zip ties and a multi tool. 6 miles left to go.... I tried the bill and it was a no go. Couldn't get pressure. I thought if I...

    How do I get the pulley off an Astro 3220?

    Safest way to remove a gear or pulley is with a three jaw "gear puller". Two jaws are okay but threes better. Or make your own as seen here. http://m.instructables.com/id/Cheap-and-Simple-Gear-Puller/

    48v for 2011 A2B Metro

    Thought this was the best place to put this since its recent. Two zippy 5s 8000mah packs fit perfectly into the stock a2b downtube battery box. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16227__ZIPPY_Flightmax_8000mAh_5S1P_30C.html

    Unable to spin motor - Need help determining cause

    The charger lights can stay on even with a blown fuse. Use a voltmeter to assure that the chargers output leads are live.

    mac t8 grinding

    The clutch is not hard to change if you are mechanically inclined and have the tools needed. However I assume it would be an intimidating job for a desk jockey who's rarely touched a screwdriver. You need a circlip removing tool. Possibly a three jaw gear puller. Problems that arise, screw...

    Punctures 2 in 2 weeks

    Had that issue on my motor wheel. The torque from the mac was spinning it cutting the valve. I grabbed the wifes hairspray and sprayed inside the tire and around rim before inflating. Stuck like snot and cleans with water. I have used hairspray on bike grips since I was a kid and figured it'd...

    torque arm picture thread

    These were cut on our 4000w laser. Its 3/16" stainless cause its what we've been cutting at work. I wanted 3/8" but its rare to have a slow day where the boss lets us play with one off parts so ill take whatever I can get. I wanted 3/8 cause I was going to make it clamp at the bottom. I call...

    New crystalyte motor - G series

    It has to be the G2530. If it was the G2540 it would go 26mph according to the simulator. Adam

    New crystalyte motor - G series

    Picked up the motor ambroseliao was selling. I put it on my wifes udk500 cargo bike. Running 57v it pulls 20amps from a stall and tops out at 18-20mph.(need to verify speed on CycleAnalyst reads right, but it feels like 20mph) While its perfect for my wife it leaves me underwhelmed. Suppose...

    36v+18=56v would i possibly get 30mph outta this

    I often keep pace with road bikes going 30mph. Why not?

    36v+18=56v would i possibly get 30mph outta this

    A 10t mac, 26" tire,at 57v is just shy of 30mph. Maybe 27-29.

    HS3540 or ezee

    With that motor you'll only need one gear 8) I mix and match shifters without fear. I am currently running a 9spd shifter with a 7spd freewheel and it works great. The guy at the bike shop was appalled by the thought..... I'm currently setting up the same setup. Hs3540 40amp controller 15s...

    HS3540 or ezee

    You will get both responses here. Half will say its safe to spread the dropout and other half will say its to dangerous. Suppose it comes down to your personal comfort. There are a couple folks with solar setups, search around.

    HS3540 or ezee

    Gears can strip. The hs3540 is way better for what you ask of it specially for off-roading The 40 amp infinion will work with any battery chemistry. You need a programing cable to adjust settings. Check out the simulator at ebikes.ca it will give you an idea of what you can throw at it. It...

    Most scenic bike paths (for recumbents) in the southwest US?

    The American river trail is 37miles end to end. There's areas of the trail that are more urban and lots of homeless folk but most of the trail is beautiful. It begins at Folsom lake which is allright. Not stunning but its nice. Then it descends for a while going down the backside of Folsom...

    Smartpie?

    Range is not a concern. The cargo box can handle 20ah no problem but will most likely use 8ah nanos.

    Smartpie?

    So I'm looking real hard at a smartpie for the wifes bike. I've had a bad year with gears so I want a dd. Most dd hubs are heavy and are far more motor then we need. The smartpie sounds perfect for a 20" rim. Wifes a 150 pounds so it doesn't have to pull hard. There is barely feedback on this...

    Only getting 20A delivered controller is 30A?

    For comparison my mac 10 at 57v will pull 2100w from a dead stop. At cruise it pulls about 900-1000w and propels me about 28mph. 31mph on a fresh charge. I would think that from a dead stall you'd hit 30amps. 15-20a at cruise.

    Is MAC motor gears stripped, or bad hall? (video)

    Sounds like gears. I just replaced a set. Then one of the new gears slipped off its collar/bearing! So now I am back to driving.... Changing gears/ clutch is easy. Its having to undo all the wires zipties etc. That really makes it a crappy job.

    Where to find bushes or get them custom made?

    Keep trying shops. Our shop would make them no problem. Also some motorcycle shops have basic mills and lathes, give them a try. The dirty hole in the wall shops is what your looking for.

    Strange sound in the sky all around the world in 2012

    Damn you got me to look up harrp. That's some bizarre stuff. The harrp sound is the same you heard and there's several known machines worldwide and up to 20 unconfirmed machines. The history channel on harrp is very informative and unsettling. I hate that I know this is happening in our world...
