Cool, good to see a different perspective. The last 2 people to pass you in this video are a bit rude

Thanks again Matt for everything on the day - picking me up, dropping me off and having a bike for me to ride!

[Hyena]

Wasn't me, for those who may have been concerned

Talk about commitment though, the guy popped a cyanide pill rather than being taken in for riding his motorised bike illegally!

See kids, not wearing a helmet can kill!

[dingoEsride]

Definitely wouldn't be his first involvement with police, probably one of many, just wanted to make it his last

Group Ride Time 30th October

I would like to see how many interested parties would like
To head out on the 30th October for a few hours ride around
The city? The ride will be 32km, predominately flat ground and 99%
On the cities cycle way. Meeting point will be same as last ride days
I.e. carpark next to the Garrat rd bridge

The date is non negotiable, time of day is, Matt, myself and Tony will be riding
That day re-gardless. The route will take us past the Burswood Casino, through South Perth, over the narrows bridge, down as far as the university of WA, up through
Kings park, down through north bridge then back to Maylands, we would like to keep a pace of 40km//hr or so, people wishing to come make sure you have the battery capacity to make the journey please.

Matt had completed this ride previously with Tony, thus we already know the distance involved. People wishing to come please let us know if afternoon or morning is preferred, majority will rule, I put my hand up for early afternoon say 1pm meet up, 1.30pm start out on the ride....

Hope all that have come in the past can make the ride again, look forward to catching up with the old faces and any new additions

KiM

P.s there are bar-b-q facilities at the meeting point, if anyone wants to cook up a fee or maybe bring the family along etc good fishing spot for black bream under the bridge too!

[Gregory]

Dang,i'm going away for the long weekend. If my plans change though I'll join you.

Tuck those lipo away carefully, you don't want the CHOGM security hassling you

[dingoEsride]

Yeah I'll be in on that one as long as you don't mind my frocking frocker

[AussieJester]

@Gregory bummer dude, if your plans change please do make it down

@DinGoMAN...haha yeah be good to see you again too mate, frock and all haha...

Looks like 5 of us confirmed thus far...any more takers more the merrier!? Going
to be a sweet ride through some nice areas, be good if we can get alot
of footage to edit together, show these yanks and canucks what a great
country we got to ride e-bikes in year round, with none of this
white rubbish falling from the sky 6 months of the year hahaha

KiM

[sico]

I'm in, though I don't know if I'll be able to make the full distance of the ride at that speed.

When I go WOT through that area each day, I average about 32kph and typically cruise in the high 30s. I use between 7 and 9 aH of my 15 aH pack to go 17km, so I know how far I can go quickly and still be nice to my pack

My next bike is a cellman mac with 30% more aH, so that will go for a bit longer

Cheers,

Simon.

[AussieJester]

All good sico, I'm sure we can accommodate you speed wise, i'll just have to stay in first gear i guess you shouldn't have trouble making the distance Tony (owner of Rat Fink) did the trip on 15ah pack, he did hit the LVC on our ride up her in the hills Sunday though, that was only 23km shows how much the hills zap the batteries compared to riding down where you flat land dwellers live hehe... Catch ya there mate

KiM

[1000w]

Sico you should have no problems with a 15ah pack.
I do this ride with 10 to 12ah of my 15ah pack.

Tony (owner of Rat Fink) did the trip on 15ah pack, he did hit the LVC on our ride up her in the hills Sunday though, that was only 23km shows how much the hills zap the batteries compared to riding down where you flat land dwellers live

His pack cut out after 9ah as there is one bad cell in it atm.

[sico]

Cool. 10 or 12 aH is fine, but that's as far as I like to go with my lipos (I bulk charge and can't really be bothered with balancing if I can get away with it).

Cheers,

Simon.

[AussieJester]

Apologies Matt, I did forget about that, meant no disrespect whatsoever, just attempting to show the difference flat and hill riding has on the e-bikes, Tonys
Bike, was made to cruise, frock and all, I think its its outstanding, but mention it in public I will deny it


Sico, you will make it easy i'm sure...

KiM

P.s 1pm is looking like the time, wrtten in pencil unless we get Another 6 .people agreeing to another time...anyone? Anyone?

I'll be taking a tow rope along, and a camera, so AJ cant deny being towed by a frock when his RC dies
Should that, through some miracle not happen, you can get a tow if you run out a juce
Sounds like a nice route, looking forward to it.
Richard

[AussieJester]

Haha....yeeees, in t the meantime though Richard, we can use that tow rope to tow you along so you can keep up, as it is I'll be religated to using only first gear if I pop it into second you won't see which way I went remember our last ride Richard, I have upped the gear ratio since then first gear is now quicker than your top speed with the frock, time to up the voltage buddy, or, find a 16in rim to lace the lady frock motor into so it has some sort of speed to talk about (Crosses fingers my bike doesn't break down again, ill never hear the end of it if it does ROFL..)

[1000w]

Hey Kim, I guess you're not very "frock wise" sweetie!
Bigger wheel for more speed at the same voltage.

Hey Kim, I guess you're not very "frock wise" sweetie!

erm...then why do all these high powered "lady bikes" setups use 20in wheels Matt? (e.g JohninCR, Steveo, YPEdal.etc etc) coz they spin around quicker on high voltage was my thinking, sheesh AND your a frock lover being schooled by a M.E.N.S member :: shakes head :: better hurry up and get that non frock setup going buddy, we still have room for you back in the M.E.N.S club, just lose the skirt and heels first won't ya :: wink ::

KiM

[Ypedal]

Yep.. take a low rpm motor, strap it into a small rim, and quadruple the voltage = Win !

Hi guys.

Another Aussie here. I am currently living in Toowoomba QLD. I have one ebike at the moment. A geared MAC rear hub in a Giant Talon, I have 3 x 14s 5Ah packs for my bike. It is running a 12 MOSFET Lyen controller which I am very happy with. A top speed of about 57km/h fresh off the charger. I haven't clocked too many km's on it just yet. At the moment I am waiting on some Telflon coated wire to replace my melted phase wires. I have upgraded the brakes to 203mm, I use a Falcon EV triangle bag and some torque plates which I got laser cut at a local business. No physical modifications to the bike, I could revert it back in about 10 mins if need be. Ill have to shoot some photos and post them.

I am also working on converting my little Haase go kart to electric. I am just waiting on the motor mount to be built and shipped. It will have a Mars 907 Brushless motor. I will probably just use my ebike batteries to start with. I have built a 24 MOSFET controller just to start also (might look to upgrade later on). I have tested the motor with the controller (and tested the controller with my MAC hub also.... hence the melted phase wires lol) Anyway I should have this going in mid November. I should be able to swap out the 2 stroke for electric and back in not too long either, they will have separate mounting plates.

I know of one other guy on E-S from Toowoomba, we will have to meet up one day. I know there are a few from Brisbane aswell.

[Hardcarve1]

Welcome jamo96,
Wonder how many ebikes could make it up the hill to Toowoomba?

Alex

[jamo96]

haha, the Great Divide would be stern test. Not sure whether I'd be willing to risk melting my ebike into a puddle trying it just yet

Where are you from Alex?

[XLR8]

Hello fellow Aussies. I'm from Thornlands just south of Brisbane. My e-bike is a dual suspension Huffy from the dump recycle market ($10) with a rear hub motor 48V and a 36V LiFePO and a 12V LiFePO pack on top. This setup came about from migrating from previous e-bikes of 36V system.

[AussieJester]
