    20” front suspension

    Fabulous eBikes USA has models with 20" tires that they state are equipped with RST Hydraulic Forks. Perhaps contact them and see where they procure the forks and/or if they'll sell them separately.

    36V 350W front hub motor

    For one, DillengerUS has a 350w. This was my first kit and it's still running on my daughter's cruiser 10 years later.

    Nervagon's Directionless, and Doomed Build

    Sorry about the wrong name(s); that's what happens when you're old and you think you remember something. Anyway Mikhalia had big problems, including, but not limited to a hip replacement when she was a teenager, but looks good (actually great) now. A doctor (YouTube "Nutrition Made Simple")'s...

    Nervagon's Directionless, and Doomed Build

    Not to hack your thread, but if you're not familiar with her, Cassandra Peterson has a fascinating account on YouTube of her life as a (now) carnivore; her dad has one as well. I can't relate since my system seems to metabolize carbs well.

    Bikeon, "cassette drive" torque sensing motor

    I wonder whether it has any advantage (other than weight) compared to a mid-drive, especially in dusty socal. Probably I'll experiment when the price is more reasonable. Have you attempted to generate interest from OEM's?

    Bikeon, "cassette drive" torque sensing motor

    Since it's pedal assist only, why can't you set it up for 28 mph since most states use the "Class" system which has a designation for PAS @ 28 mph. You could just make the buyer sign for road application only. Did you consider a crowd fund to provide enough orders for a lower price?

    Drilling 1/2" holes in Bafang cranks to reduce weight

    I broke a crank arm on a fairly high end Trek MTB years ago. The interesting aspect (to me) is it broke at the top of a five mile 1800' ascent after I had reached the top and was "cooling off". Accordingly I wasn't hurt since I was pedaling so easily. I have a background in metallurgy and...

    52v battery at 80% max charge as 48v alternative?

    I looked at a SOC vs voltage chart for 52V systems and at 80% and 90% the Luna charger was close (AIR within a couple of tenths which is probably the extent of accuracy of the voltmeter). 100% was 58.6V. Everything was close enough.

    52v battery at 80% max charge as 48v alternative?

    Luna (and many others probably) has a 52V charger that has 80%, 90% and 100% capability.

    BSOs: Bikesdirect Motobecane 300HT or Gravity Basecamp? Unboxed on pg. 2

    Utah Trikes Has RST and Amazon Bucklos and Suntour, but all are heavy (five + pounds), coils and no damping (AFAICT). Everything else is even worse, but maybe one of these will smooth the ride a bit. Universal Cycles is my go to place and they don't list any, so your options probably are very...

    Rectangle battery in Frame Triangle?

    I install a 14s, 4p (52V, 8ah) on a Blackburn large water bottle frame cushioned by a styrofoam liner. Picture shows the installation without battery.

    The Repleacement of BBS02B? Bafang BBS02B VS Tongsheng TSDZ8 - Unboxing and Design Comparison

    I'm not impressed since I tried to order a Bafang front motor kit and they were sold out unless a battery was ordered with the motor.

    Another one bites the dust: Kona being sold off by new owners

    The "writing was on the wall" for Kona after they pulled out of Sea Otter precipitously after paying (probably a small fortune for the site) and actually setting up their booth. This was my LBS's main brand for many years.

    I need help

    Also, hope you don't get fined if you shipped it without going through a HAZMAT broker.

    I want to build an E-cruiser Newbie

    The new Townies have a Hyena motor and, more importantly, 250 wh battery. The battery seems good for a trip to the market, but not long range. Also, top speed is 20 mph AFAICT.

    Need buying advice

    I had really good luck with a complete kit from DillengerUS ($700) that my daughter is still riding 10 years later, but they don't seem too active in the US market now, and their batteries may be suspect (read old).

    Gas Gas G Cross Country 1.0 smokin deal...get my kids into ebiking

    My (admittedly lightly used) Haibike - Yamaha is seven years old and the battery still functions well (it a hardtail used off road exclusively) The other day battery consumption was 11 wh/mile on a 17 mile off road ride with several hills mixed in. I think Bosch is the best "e" system, but...

    1000 Miles Later My under $1000 Christmas Gift E bike is going hard

    Looks like a good consideration because Wally has a fine return policy (AFAICT) and 80% of 660 respondents gave "5" rating. Some of the dissent was from individuals who paid up to $1600 for the bike (?????) and/or got flat tires riding it.

    New TSDZ2B install issues: 2022 Rockhopper Sport L

    In general FME with BBS02's (which might be applicable), steel frames (especially with 68mm bottom brackets) worked best. I needed to dremel inside the BB with a GT Zaskar conversion.

    Volcon Brat

    Probably someone more astute than I am will mention this, but while 72V, a new motor and controller will get you to 45 or so mph, IMO you'll need to add better suspension, tires and (maybe) other parts to travel that fast safely.

    Ebike for my mom

    My son got his wife a Rad Power commuter and it seems functionally adequate (probably similar to the Juiced). Considering the bleak state of the OEM industry, you might be able to locate a hardtail mid in your price range from one of the majors (Giant, Trek, Specialized, or equivalent).

    MAX speed of 30mph on my DIY E-Bike kit. 3000w, 72v battery, 30amp controller. What am I doing wrong?

    It seems incongruous (to me) to combine a 30 amp controller with a "3000w" system, although you should be able to discover whether the system is regulated to Class 3 by measuring the speed off the ground as mentioned above. If it's still possible, I would return the kit.

    Multi-speed to Single speed conversion

    FME, White Industries makes the best SS freewheels, but they're expensive.

    Problem with Bafang BBSHD and Fat Bike? Fitting

    Look at ElectricBike.com. The individual has reported on several conversions with a BBSHD (mostly using bikes direct bikes, but probably you can procure just a frame there or at their subsidiary, bike island).

    1" headtube with 1-1/8" fork adapter

    Observe DW's numbers above again. I wouldn't dream of attempting something so sketchy on the front end of a bike considering the potential ramifications of failure.
