Crystalyte 5302 up for grabs. Sale, or trade.

[Philistine]

Can you post up a photo of it (showing the quality of the wheel build and axle etc..).

Also, if you are happy to, the basic (ie boxed/packed) dimensions and weight to allow interested parties to calculate shipping without hassling you might be helpful.

Personally I have to close my eyes when I read suggestions of turning the 5302 into a 5304. For me that is blasphemy. I own two X5304s and one 5303 which is out of action at the moment. I don't get the fuss about the 5304. It is awesome on my Yuba, when I am pulling myself, two children, and a bunch of shopping, but on a standard ebike, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't prefer the 5303. Sure I blew apart two controllers with my 5303 before realising I had to get all Mandingo with a 24 Fet, but in my opinion, I will always choose the fastest possible wind that my controller will handle. I live in a relatively flat city, but it has hills/mountains and is not a prairie (we have a competitive downhill mountain bike course), but I have never found a single incline that my 5303 has ever struggled with, but it will do well over 70kph on 20S. I just don't get the fuss about slower wind motors, personally I hate them. I concede that is because I mainly ride on the road or commute, and I realise I would smoke my HS35 and my 5303 if I took it for a serious mountain bike ride, and I appreciate that, but unless you are mountain bike riding, or live in the Alps, I just don't understand why you would ever go slower on your wind than a 5303 (unless you weren't manly enough to strap a 24 fet on).

I am so enamoured with my 5303, that thinking about a 5302 makes me wonder if I have a rock in my pocket. It's like that moment everyone has with drugs (ebikes are just another addiction for me), where you wonder if X makes you feel good (albeit whilst vomiting and shitting your pants, and nearly killing you), wouldn't 2X be twice as good?

Personally I suspect that this 5302 thing isn't even real, and is mythical like the DVDA.

But a man must have dreams, so please post up photos, I can add the funky bass riffs over the top in my mind.....

I totally agree with you philistine!

[Indubitably]

Wow, I hadn't realized just how much time had past by, since I last visited the site. I will soon have finished my third move in about a 6 month period, which is a bit nomdadic even by my standards, and I'm afraid these things just have a way of pushing all but the critical projects to the back burner. I wasn't terribly impressed with the pictures that came out of the the Jerry rigged camera repair I did on my tablet anyway, but I'm afraid its something of a moot point now, since the pictures, along with the tablet itself, went missing a couple of weeks ago. I'll see if I can't at least find a bathroom scale around here though, and get you guys some measurements so it doesn't seem so entirely like the motor is vaporware. At the moment it is still sitting on my work bench sans barings, but I do at least have the phase wires run, so all really need to do is replace the hall effect wires and test it out.

It's a long shot, but I have a X5304 laced into a 26inch rim I would swap you, but I am in Australia. I think you shipping to me might only be about $100 (if it is the size of a 20inch), but me to you goes crazy expensive if we keep it in the 26inch rim. One way we could do it is I take the hub out of its rim, and post you the rim and spokes seperately, and you lace it back together when you get it. If you try and send the weight coupled with size that is a 26inch X5 if it is crazy expensive (several hundred dollars) but I think it I could get it into two parcels it might be something like $100-150. I would be willing to contribute $100 to the deal to do the swap (that way you would offset your postage by $100), with me covering my shipping (ie you to me).

I would want to see photos of yours, and I would send you photos of mine (we could also exchange photos of the hubs as well ).
