    Off-The-Shelf Ebike. Worth it?

    Hi mate, I’ve built a few hub powered bikes up in the past in 2-4.5kw configuration. I’m into my mountain biking and dirt biking and own a couple of each. I want a surron and been following them from the beginning on here and Facebook but a little on the fence atm for my needs plus concerned...

    Norco Sight VLT 2 first impressions

    Hi Brian, I think the Giant is a little porkier than the VLT at nearly 24kg with pedals. Yes tailing a multi kw ebike not a great idea soon as it opens up a little can imagine your lungs would be busting Enjoy your bike Mike

    Norco Sight VLT 2 first impressions

    Hi Brian, Nice bike and hope you’re enjoying it. Had my eye on the sight vlt and I too recently purchased a giant trance e +1. Have been following emtb evolve and built a few hub motor set ups over the years which were great for light off road but horrible for proper mountain biking. For...

    Very tidy again Allex. Such clean builds. Are you running 24" wheels again on this beta? Mike

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Yes I know its way beyond the rating and am impressed it lasted so long. I was running a mac10t in the past and slowly increased the current draw with the lead. Been at this current level for the past 6 months. I know the wise thing to do is to replace the controller with a 18fet but i'm...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Thread bump. Been loving my 5t leaf 1500w the past 16 months but I think I might have just wounded it and would like an opinion or 2 as to what went wrong before I start pulling things apart. As a little background the Leaf is set up on a 2011 Giant Reign (DS) and is used purely for offroad...

    Electrikhana 2015 - March 7th RAC Driving Centre

    Looking forward to my first attendance at this event. Would be good advertising for the Stealth dealer in balcatta around the corner from me to make an appearance though they most probably are aware of the event. Does anyone know if Zero motorcycles will be conducting test rides and if so what...

    Not everyone would know where Karrinyup road is but its at my door step Most Sunday mornings along Cottesloe (though haven't ventured that way in a few months) when I'm on the racer there's a guy that rides his black bomber up n down the strip, he'll always pull off some nice long wheelies when...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Looks awesome Alex!! Post some videos once it's completed I've been riding my leaf powered ebike into work lately a few times. Never done really any 'efficient' rides. 27km trip one way, using ~5200mah average speed 29.5kmhr. Helping pedal of course. Gearing is a little short to pedal more...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Nice one by leaf to offer a Mavic 319 rim Allex. I've never had a reading from the thermistor with my cav3 even when changing thermistor type and changing calibration. Just 0v. Its connected correctly, but there must be something going on in the motor. My bearings have a slight amount of play in...

    Controller efficiciency differences for speed 2 vs 3?

    Thanks teklektic exactly what I was after With regards to the CA I'm using 'pass thru' throttle mode. Is this the Controller at work here? I have all the Ramps turned up as I prefer a more sensitive throttle. I found Current throttle mode too laggy. I have the em3ev 3 position speed switch...

    Controller efficiciency differences for speed 2 vs 3?

    Hi motomech, Next pack will be back to 12s or possibly 14s. I charge as a bulk 8s 13200mah pack. 2 plugs I disconnect to charge as 8s and reconnect in series Mike

    Controller efficiciency differences for speed 2 vs 3?

    Hi guys, My Setup is as follows: Leaf 35mm 5t / em3ev Infineon 9fet 4011 / 16s lipo / 26" wheel/cav3 Am happy with this setup for now but the speed is around 15km/hr more than I use/need. Good to have it there 'if' I need it but am curious if there is any benefit in removing. I don't want to...

    Tyre /rim setup for Hub motor to survive rocky single track

    Tyre / wheel survived today after being put through 1hr of nasty trails! Chattery running 50psi and hard work manoeuvring the bike now that it weighs double what it used too.I think the same trails are easier to ride unassisted and found myself jumping to far into corners. Still jumped well if...

    Tyre /rim setup for Hub motor to survive rocky single track

    DS: Wheel is an Alex supra BH downhill rim built with d butted 12g sapim e bike spokes with washers both ends. Rim is approx 34mm internal from memory. Just fitted the minion and it doesn't look oversized for the rim at all. I used to ride the same trails unassisted over and over with 40psi in...

    Tyre /rim setup for Hub motor to survive rocky single track

    So I went past the Lbs this afternoon and bought a minion 2.5 dual ply tyre and a Freeride tube (will fill with sealant) I read your replies along the way. I really didn't want to add more weight to the rear but you guys are most likely correct. The old school casing minion I bought are...

    Tyre /rim setup for Hub motor to survive rocky single track

    Dan: Guess i'll try increase the pressure but it does make the rear end harsh. Going to purchase a 2.3 minion dhf or similar and give that ONE more try otherwise the hub goes. Not as if i've babied this hub in the past with what its taken but as soon as sharp rocks are thrown into the mix...

    Tyre /rim setup for Hub motor to survive rocky single track

    Hi Guys, I currently have a leaf 1500w hub fitted to a 2011 Giant Reign (DS). The bikes been electrified for 1.5 years now and used for light off road duties and has performed flawlessly with a 2.0 Maxxis Larsen TT UST tyre with stans sealant. I've previously had a great run with in the past...

    What's a used ASEAKO 250W TOURNEY worth?

    I'm sure the controller is different on the extreme model - have to confirm that. I know its a 48v / 13s pack and the controller is set at 22amps. Never any issues with the controller. I started in tall gears many times. The motor / drive unit are near silent. Yes, some great innovations...

    What's a used ASEAKO 250W TOURNEY worth?

    My uncle has the 250w and the 500w 'extreme' version which he paid around $2000 with a shimano Alfine hub from the factory. He'a added an additional battery pack to come road cycling with me / changed the shock & forks / replaced tyres / runs a larger front ring / added a micro switch to cut...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    I've been happy with the leaf, has really grown on me. Keep it charged in case I finish work early lately :D Apart from not getting a signal / 0v from the temp sensor output, dont know whats going on there. I'm enjoying not having to worry so much about over heating, breaking - well less parts...
