Just got back from my trail/Enduro riding in the North Carolina mountains. I was able to go further today than I ever had before while being super conscious of being efficient with throttle use E brake/regen use, etc. I was able to complete the entire 25 mile loop with my cheap UPP 72v 40 ah battery. Started with a full charge at 84v and ended the ride at 71v. Very satisfied that I was able to make it that far today, but I am most definitely feeling it all through my body lol
The new front tire felt great! The extra air volume from the Bridgestone, 203 smoothed out the ride tremendously compared to the Michelin star cross 5. The star Cross has a very short side wall so there’s not much flex or give that acts as suspension. Ran the front tire today at 6 psi And the rear at 5psi. I’m able to run such low pressure because of them being motorcycle tires and the light weight of my bomber build. Plus I don’t ride very fast on these trails because it’s nearly impossible unless you’re a pro level Enduro rider. Also, considering this is a hub motor build, and I have to take it easy, compared to having a Sur Ron or some other hybrid mountain bike/dirtbike with a mid drive.
Added another 5 mL of ferrofluid and added my hub sinks back, which I had taken off when I recently rebuilt the rear wheel/motor. The motor barely even got hot today although the temperatures were not that hot, 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Snapped a few pictures today, but I should’ve taken more pictures of the gnarly stuff, typically when I see the very hard-core terrain I’m so ready to get through it don’t take the time to stop and take a picture lol. Really loving this E-bike build, but I’m even more excited about completing my Rmz conversion, because that will be way capable of extreme terrain.

Edit: here’s a short little video I made yesterday. Just recorded with an iPhone. I was mainly just testing out the front tire before I made my way out to the mountains. Anytime I make changes to the bike I like to test it near some local woods I have access to just to make sure everything is working properly.
