    Infineon connectors, are they ok?

    Do you guys keep the original connectors, they look a bit sketchy to me? Do you find them reliable?

    How to mount the darn controller!

    Reading the forum gives me the impression that putting the controller in a bag is a no no. Given that, what do you do about the rats nest of wires? I want a clean look but need some ideas on how to achieve that. Thanks!

    Please help me choose a controller

    I am about to order a MAC motor and I see that I can get a bunch of different controllers. I want a 12T motor for heavier loads and steeper hills but what controller would be best? They have 6fet's or 9fet's and then different amperages for each of those choices. I am looking for reliability...

    Bottom bracket adaptor help needed.

    My bike has an American one piece crank. The bottom bracket measures 2 inches in diameter. If I were to use an adapter to reduce it to the English standard that the Bafang requires then the extra thickness won't allow the motor to mount because the clearance between the Bafang axle and the motor...

    BBS02 for a Townie??

    I'm about ready to start ordering parts but wonder if anyone knows the BB width on the Townie? Anyone else out there done a BBS02 on this bike? Also wondering which configuration of the bike would be best. They have a 3 and a 7 speed internal hub available and I'd like to know if it would be...

    Looking for input on new build

    I recently did a DD build and have been bitten by the ebike bug. I am already thinking about a different kind of bike. What I would like to do is build an ebike from a retro styled bike like this one I have uploaded. I would like it to be as light as possible and as stealthy as possible also...

    Trying to make the decision between 18650's and LiFePO4

    Going a little crazy trying to sort this out. LiFePO4 looks to be safer and for a little more money they last a lot longer. So why are the 18650's seemingly so popular? What am I missing?

    Help me understand battery...

    Voltage determines top speed, or so I read here. Watt-hours determines range, yet watt-hours is V x Amp Hours, so voltage also determines range??

    Shark battery fitment question

    It looks like I will have just enough room to fit a shark pack but I'm wondering how the battery comes off the holder. Will i need a bunch of extra room to slide it on and off or does it click straight down in it? I would appreciate any help from someone who has experience with this pack. Thanks!

    Battery mounting options

    I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance in choosing a mounting method. The dolphin type seems the easiest and the best location-wise but I was wondering how secure it is with that much weight supported by just 2 small bolts. Also, do these batteries rattle in their mounts. I...

    Newb needs more help...slow and easy?

    I want easier pedaling but not faster speed...will a DD motor do that best? I want to be able to reduce my effort by about half yet maintain a slow speed of say 8 mph. I don't want to use the reduced effort to allow me to ride faster. Also how would this type of riding affect range? Would it...

    New guy needs help making a decision...

    I am looking for a hub motor kit. I have been reading constantly for the last few weeks and although I have been able to figure out that I want a hub motor rather than a mid drive, I don't know which would be best for my needs. Most all I can find is advice about how to go fast, I want the...
