It is the spokes. I can't believe I didn't notice that earlier. 24" rim, large hub, and 12g spokes: Bad combo, It isn't possible to achieve spokes' proper tension. Buyer beware. Happy holidays!!

Well, that makes lots of sense I have bent spokes all over that wheel.

It is a squeaky type noise like if it was a dried out bushing coming from the axle area. Anyone knows what this is/how to address it? Thanks.

Interesting concept, seems like the natural integration. More expensive for sure, gotta pay for all that R&D.

Good work SMan. The mid drive Edgerunner looks great, so does the camo fat bike. Can't wait for more pix. Thanks!

That looks awesome! Have fun SMagnets, and bring the good stuff as usual.

Would this little motor cut it? http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62361

Thanks for the comprehensive responses/help guys…lot of work on my end…wish I did this for a living!

Well afaik, speed is directly related to the $ize of the battpack and that's the limitation: $$ Budget: around $2000 Fabrication abilities: I think I can do everything but welding. The frame is steel, indeed. Not sure how heavy it is. So you say motor on the swing arm, I see plenty of room...

All the Stealth rims Ive seen are 24", non marked. It seems they protect their sources. But it just looks like a beefy downhill rim. I'm actually gonna be visiting a downhill shop tomorrow because I'm looking for 2 myself. I'll let you know if I find a suitable replacement.

First time I see it. $25 for the patchnride novelty huh? I guess, if it made me feel safer I'd carry one as a safety precaution. It looks to me like the tire can't be completely deflated in order for the device to work so a co2 thingy would be a nice addition to it. I used to carry all the...

:lol: Thanks man that means a lot especially coming from you. :lol: This may be a very valid point that I had completely missed. Hopefully, the suspension is tunable and I don't have to make the whole thing heavier than it needs to be in order to compensate. afaik, the VIN number is on the...

Thanks for chiming in guys, all criticism is well taken. I'm aware of the role the engine plays in bringing the frame together. If reinforcing/completing it isn't an option, I don't see why can't the whole frame be replaced. Maybe in the vein of drunkskunk's monster bike (gotta love that...

Hello awesome community, I have recently got a newer model Yamaha 600 rolling chassis with the intention of electrifying it. Since wheels, brakes and suspension are 99.9% I'd like to use them with minimal to no modification. For that reason, I'd like a mid drive setup. But wait, is this even...

Your bike looks awesome, congrats!
