Phasor Cycles Electric Mountain Bike Frame Pre-order

[dpearce]

Phasor Cycles is testing our newest electric mountain bike, which is being offered for pre-order to the public. This first production run will start as soon as we receive a few more pre-orders.

This frame caters to those DIY'ers looking for a solution to the need for a place to put all of this ebike stuff that was never intended to be crammed into and strapped on to standard mountain bike frames. This is the solution to protect and conceal your electronics, without compromising performance. This is indeed a new classification of vehicle somewhere between motorcycle and mountain bike.
At this point delivery of a frame is estimated at 2-3 months out.

Here is a video of some of the first few miles testing the new prototype, keep an eye out on this thread for some real offroad action coming soon.

[mvly]

Any good way to mount fenders? I think front fender might be OK depending on what Fork I get, but How about the back?

Any idea how many 18650s you could stuff into this frame? Not seeing anything in the proto threads. Doing a custom 18650 build with 180 cells and am curious if I could get it to fit into this frame. Thanks.

Nice Rodney. Based on a recent blog looks like they plan on starting production next month.

Congrats also. It sure looks like a nice looking bike. Cant wait to see them take it to the next level.

[Rodney64]

Ohzee, Deutch have you worked out your components yet.

[ohzee]

I have a 5404 in route to JRH I have figured that out at least. And I have a 18 fet controller from Lyen to run 30S

Need to figure out front fork among other things. Got a nice update from Phasor today - sounds like they are moving
forward with making these a reality so was great to hear.

Once I know that's happening I will probably find a front fork shock etc..

Still very interested to see what others are doing.. and for anyone on the fence it's time to jump off ;p

[Deutch420]

Ohzee, Deutch have you worked out your components yet.

5403 rear hub, 32s4p 134 volts, 24fet 4115 @ 100amps controller, 2012 marzocchi 888rc3 v2 front fork (780 shipped), fox rc4 rear shock with 500# or higher spring (ebay200-400), fake schlumpf, gonna copy phasor and get 3" rims with 2.7" nevegals. Easton monkybar handlebar. Formula the one brakes. Still undecided on color.

Just waiting on the frame

[ohzee]

You go Deutch - I may copy you on some of that stuff really want a good quality front fork more then anything.

From the customer reviews I've been reading, the 888 rc3 v2 has been getting nothing but great reviews. Everyone compairs it to the Fox 40. The 888 only requires service yearly, the Fox 40 requires service every 30 hours.. 888 can be had for 800 shipped. Fox 40 is 1500 shipped. Easy choice for me. RC 4 shock is awesome but a lot of $. Keep your eyes out on ebay, they can be had for under 200. I haven't ordered all my parts yet. If you want, PM me. I know I can get parts cheaper if ordering doubles, so if your interested in getting the same parts I listed, PM me. I was thinking of buying a used DH bike, but the individule parts I want, I can find new, for less than a $2,500 used dh bike. Multiple PMs back and forth with David @ Phasor has finally enabled me to start ordering parts i KNOW will fit the frame. So I've started buying!

[Rodney64]

Thanks Guys

The only component that I have is a rock Shok XC32. But will spend on the rear shock. On eBay at the moment there's a xc4 boost valve shock 2011 for $359. Still haven't purchased brakes. I've also looked at used down hill but they are not popular in western Australia and a good one is over 1500. I have a 408 motor on the way and looking at having a lipo pack made here in Perth, 72 volt possibly 24 amps.
I may need to PM a David before I start spending, thanks Deutch and Ohzee for the advise as I'm quite new to this.

[Rodney64]

I still need to buy brakes. I have never used disc brakes only road bike caliper type brakes. Any suggestions what other people have used on electric bikes. What work well with the extra weight and speed.
