Thats a beauty! The framebox is absolutely stunning (i'm a bit jealous) I'd love to see pictures of the framebox byulding process.

How do you like the geometry of the bike with the powerfull Mxus? I'm converting a Specialized Demo 8 and are still in doubt if the wheelbase of the bike (size M) will be too short.... running a 1500w noname hubmotor though...

Very nice build. I also have a Coiler, running 3kw with a 1500W Edge motor in a 17" moped rim, 3.00" tire. My build isn't as clean looking as yours, however. The rear tire is so small I had to change the bike geometry by raising where the rear shock mounts to the frame (see pic). What was your torque arm solution? Also interested in how you build the battery box. It looks very professionally done.

Photos of how I made the box Geometry is ok but bike is a little to short because with this power wheelie is not a problem Torque arm is 3mm steel on last 2 fotos

Beautiful bike & photos! I bet that thing flies on all sorts of technical terrain! Love how you made the box for the battery!

Is that a torque arm made of CFRP, or did you put a CFRP-like decal on it?

Because that's pretty much the worst possible application for CFRP. Dumb like a paper maché boat.

it's just a vinyl wrap the torque arm is made of 3mm steel

Whew. That's a relief.
