A lot of low budget operations ( raises hand ) use free letsencrypt certificates, and they expire every 3 months. Setting them to auto renew can be fraught with problems. Notifications can be missed if things aren't set right.

A lot of webmasters drop the ball here and i'm sorry we did.

Sorry about this, guys. I didn't get a crucial notification and missed it.
This is resolved and i've corrected why i am not getting those notifications.

^-- bingo

Sorry about that, i think i forgot a code patch in the process. Will get to that when i get a minute.

My big concern is that it has an open case and will need to be sealed to live a long life in the elements.
And where's the dyno sheet?
Better be a damned good motorat that kind of price.
It would be sweet to have a 1lb motor and thus a 3lbs mid drive for sure..

$400 for a 500w rated air cooled motor... OK, it's only 1lb, but that's asking quite a lot.

Personally i'd rather get a little dual reduction geared hub instead, for a third of the price.. i can stand another 5lbs!

That's it I'm removing all 8,256 18650 cells and the 13 balance boards from my Tesla and replacing them with LiPo so I can monitor the balancing myself and be much safer from now on. These exploding BMS have got to be stopped. I'd guess that the BMS in your Tesla is a lot higher quality than what's...

A precharge connector/system is an absolute must at that voltage. Otherwise you will destroy every battery connection you build. You'll also want a controller with 4115 FETs. 100v will blow 4110 FETs. Of course high voltage is dangerous. Finding a BMS for that voltage is dangerous. I prefer high amp...

where is this imaginary graaf that only you can see Oh Grate Gazoo?? i've searched b4 & again just now did an exhaustive sphere-search for 'dyno, falco & 5-phase' with no pix. also come clean with full disclosure that you've never ridden much less owned a multiphase. Falco wouldn't provide me with ...

Nep i actually agree with you on statins :shock: :lol: Common ground is nice :thumb: And what you said about chol. EXCEPT your conclusion that low is bad. I suppose 1 in a million could have a problem in theory, but i've not read anything like that. LOW like under 100, indicates the person is in fa...

Yeah people have claimed that 5 phases is better for eons but i haven't ever seen a dyno graph that proves it. I've seen some that prove otherwise though. I remember falco did this with a hub motor. And the thing performed less well than a crappy crystalyte of the same size. The real downside is tha...

Someone needs statins like a hole in the head. Statins have caused more problems than they solve. And they don't solve the original issue either. Cholesterol is there to repair your body. If it is too low, that repair stops happening. All sorts of deadly symptoms will emerge. Your body will generate...

There's a lot of data showing that blood cholesterol doesn't matter. It's a way to pitch statins, which are horrifyingly bad drugs that statistically don't do shit to prevent heart disease or heart attacks. Too low of cholesterol ( <100 ) or extremely high cholesterol ( >300 ) are the only dangerous...

That's a lot of sag for a 36v battery pack. About 8% of your energy is being lost to heat.
Colder temperatures make this worse.

Might be time to get a heartier battery. Or draw less current ( IE limit your amps and top speed down ) to stretch out the life of the current battery.

BeOS lives on as haiku. AFAIK haiku is cool as shit. I wish virtualbox was available for it.. if so, i'd be running it as my host OS

Triglycerides can be elevated when you're eating the 'mouse diet', IE a certain mixture of fat and carbs actually. Happens to SAD / western pattern diet eaters all the time. If there's significant insulin resistance then you can also see elevated blood sugars at the same time. You can optimize your ...

Yeah there's a lot of variability in our physical needs and riding conditions. So of course there's never much agreement on here. :) if you have flattish roads and a crappy road is only a random occurrence, I get why suspension would be an afterthought. I did live in an area like that and had an ebi...

I have a Powervelocity controller that you can program the settings for the 3 speeds. Current limit and speed limit are programmable as is the flux weakening. Similar to my array of oldschool infineon clones. I really like having that 3 speed switch. More advanced controllers that use Sine or FOC t...

Dyno graphs show that you don't get a benefit from more phases. The real downside is that you have to design a custom controller around 4,5,6,7 phases.. All the highest efficiency, highest power density, and most expensive motor designs use 3 phases. Take note! More or less poles can be used to opti...

I think suspension is no substitute for good tires and appropriate speeds. It makes a bike capable of high speed, but at the cost of making it ride lousy all the time. I have never experienced anything other than a massively improved ride quality over a hardtail from a properly adjusted shock. I'm ...

Why do you go so fast? Do the local authorities make you register your bike? There is no way to legally register my bike but local authorities always turn a blind eye. I am always pedaling and it does not register in their mind that i'm doing anything other than riding a bike. I also design my ebik...

i only build bikes with 22" wheels or smaller these days Well for mainly dirt / gravel desert & forestry tracks I just can't see going that small. Fattie tires is suspension, so maybe 24" rim, gets to what circumference? 22" is a typical motorcycle wheel size that translates to 18" in motorcycle ti...

Em3ev controllers ( infoneon clones ) can take a 3 speed switch. My favorite still.

Mind you, they are square drive, and thus will be noisy.

I think the ability to derate current based on overtemp is critical. That's why i use the ebikes.ca sim to figure this out. Any powertrain i design has to sustain 7% grades for quite a few miles. They are always oversized and thus run in a high efficiency spot in the powerband. Oversize it too much...

To reply to both of you.. Yeah, a DD motor can take the abuse for longer periods of time, for sure. It also responds to a small wheel better. The best geared hub hits something like an 84% peak efficiency whereas a DD hub of the same continuous wattage can be up to 90%. Add the 6% efficiency differe...
