Hyena said:Hey guys, I've been out of action for a while with health dramas and then trying to get on with things, but I've FINALLY finished building my beta after 2 years! (this is why I had to give up building bikes for other people!)
This may be my last ebike for the forseeable future, and if so, that's OK!
This is the perfect all rounder IMO. but is light enough for me to lift into the car or up a few stairs if needed (even with my wrecked back and other issues)
It's running an 18 fet sinewave controller at 80A , 21S5P 30Q battery and the latest alloy core crystalyte H4065 motor which gives heaps of torque and a top speed of about 70. With 6.5kw it's got enough power to flip you off the back if you're not paying attention and with the slower winding it runs more efficiently at lower RPM. I havent fitted hubsinks or statorade but it hasn't gotten over 90 degrees yet, even with all the massive hills around here so that's a big win.
The wheel set is 24" red anodized bmx alienation with other red anodized highlights to match. Brakes are 203mm MT5s. 2 speed schlumpf for comfortable pedaling at 20-25 for toddling around tight stuff in low gear or around 50km/hr in high gear which is perfect for firetrails or the road. I wanted to keep the bars clean and minimal so have frame mounted the CA which also keeps all the wiring internal and tidy. I'm glad I didnt sell my last set of USD-6 forks - I quite like them. They seem tough enough and make the bike super nimble to flick around the single track.
Thanks. I could make a video but it probably wouldn't be very exciting as I have to take it real easy. Even with the suspension set up soft it still hurts my back to ride. No jumps of high speed antics any more. But the next generation of Hyena's are growing fast so maybe they'll have to take up the mantle soonRix said:

Hello, Alex, I'm new to this community and building area in E-Bike and I'm building an F.U.T.R Alpha build but I'm having a hard time picking a 19 Inch Rear-wheel because I bought a every big Motor from QS Motor.\\ (•◡•) / said:Well it's not much of an update, but here's whats been going on with my bike.
I recently revalved my usd8, All credit goes to Emmett for his guide back in 2014. I followed the same valving setup and the fork feels incredible now. Here's the original guide https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23996&p=978312&hilit=valve#p978312
this is an overview of old vs. new shims, top is old
now i'm just waiting to get new spokes and build a new rear wheel with an excel a60, then i'm thinking of using a tubliss setup, but don't know if I can justify the cost.
Here's the bike just after a polish and wax at a local trail :lol:, the paint smoothness decreased wh/km by atleast 15% :
