    Cyclist spits at me and makes a buzzing noise !

    Well I've had the eyes up and down and the nose up turns as an ebike rider, but today's spit and mimic noise of an electric motor certainly raised my eye brows. I didn't know there guys out there that upset. Minding my business on my daily commute along the bike path here in sunny Brisbane...

    Schwinn 4/6 bangers dropouts hold 10kw

    So after three years of 10kw and some serious phase amps my Schwinn 4 banger is being retired. If you find one of these rare bikes be assured they will take 10kw. I spent many many hours unleashing on these dropouts with regen. You can see some indents where it was pushing. But I'm dam...

    Most travelled BBSHD ?

    Who's got some serious KM/ miles on their BBSHD ? I'm averaging 600km a month, is 7000km possible without a rebuild ? I take it compared to hub motors,these are higher maintenance. Also how long before greasing is needed ? I'm hoping 3500kms at least.

    Zero packs using elastic bands

    I wonder how good this is , using wick style wire and elastic bands to hold them with no solder ! https://youtu.be/NukSXWpbBsE I wonder if they still do this in the new packs

    How good is the new BBSHD gear sensor for 2017?

    Hi Guys, Just wanted to check how people are finding the new versions of the BBSHD gear sensor ? Apparently when used with the latest model BBSHD with the gear sense cable, its much faster than tapping the brakes? how true is this and is it still easier to just use the brake. Liking the...

    Can I convert the new vector lite to a middrive ?

    I'm starting to think I could mount a motor in the swing arm if I ran a smaller wheel. I'd run the chain on the left side. Think it can be done ?

    Are hookworms indestructible

    I love the hookworms, silent and soak up a lots of the small stuff. I've ridden them off road through angry gravel, broken glass on pavements, bottomed out on the rim a few times, punched 8kw thru them. No punctures ever ! I'm impressed and can highly recommend them. Only thinng I don't like...

    10kw slim sized controller ? Other than Adaptto?

    I can't find any controllers in the 10kw sinewave range that are even close to adaptto's size. Which is out of my price range unfortunately. All other controllers are so bulky, it's almost like they are all designed without any thought around being mounted on ebikes. Most controllers are...

    High cells count vs low cell count.

    What is safer ? 1200whrs in 16 lipo pouch cells or 1200whrs in 110 cells of 18650. I started thinking about the odds, almost 6.8 times the amount of cells and interconnects, then I thought about a thermal run away in a hot glue pack of 18650s. Are we all pushing our luck with hot glue packs...

    When will we see the Twizy in Australia ?

    If the twizy went on sale tomorrow in Australia the uptake would be immense and the government knows it. The Twizy would pose a major threat to income generated by petroleum sales. There are no green credits for electric vehicles in Australia, it's almost like we are 10 years behind the more...

    Looking for someone to help me out with sourcing some custom torque arms. Stainless steel and hold 14kw :) I have gotten away with my home dodgy torque arms for way too long and would like to do it right on my new build :)

    Finally some sanity while charging !

    Why do they jam those darn tiny little high pitched noisy F%##%ng fans in chargers these days? I could hear the darn thing from the street! So after other attempts to shut the sucker up I came up with this :) Fully sealed with hot glue, air tight and forces a good CFM of warm air out...

    Gas sprockets tough enough for electric

    Hi guys, Are these a good option for a true high power mid? I guess they cause issues with disc brakes, but are these guys tough? From what I can see the chain is larger, the ones used on the 80cc models. I'm thinking of a direct drive setup, no gears,

    Sitting in the pouring rain with 108v under my ballz

    Ive decided after much thought during an evening monsoon down pour, that its time to double down on the voltage :) Even though my connectors and packs are water tight, i just wasn't relaxed :) I'm dropping my pack to 13s for commuting and agree really that this is a good street legal...

    New CA mini ?

    I love the ca but it's a tad on the large side. I'd love to see a new CA mini with a true matrix screen. I find the big CA is not that stealthy, something the size of large watch would be nice. Dunno for street use they really say hey this bike is electric :) even if they make an aux port on...

    Specialised Demo 8 - a good conversion ?

    150x12mm Dropouts ! With clamps to tighten the axle , does seem a match made in heaven ? http://www.pinkbike.com/news/2011-specialized-demo-8.html obviously putting a rear hub on this would ruin the real purpose of this bike, but I'm having thoughts about this as a nimble downhill turned...

    Aviation connectors on my down pipe :)

    so me got to thinking about the best ways to go about a water resistant connection for my 26S battery pack. Then I came across some ip67 aviation connectors with 16 pins , any more than 16 pins and the actual pins became to small. Small pins are not what I want to charge at 5 amps. Aim is to...

    Motor heat , sinewave vs square

    How much heat energy is lost when using a square wave controller vs sinewave . I know on inverters square wave cause motors to run hotter, but is this true on controllers?

    Make a watercooled high kw motor and I'll buy it !

    The first company to make a high kw water cooled hub will get my business ! There's a market there for high end hubs, look at what people will pay for frames , controllers etc, maybe there needs to be the TRD or Nismo division for high end water cooled hubs ? I'd pay double to get a refined...

    Whos riding high ? .... voltage

    So in chasing power and speed I enjoy a high voltage setup. Less bulky wiring less amps through connectors etc. Where do u draw the line ? I run 130v full charge, I have run 160v :) but all in the line of chasing kw with a wide power band on a mxus 5T. Safety is a concern, higher voltage =...
