If you've barely used the brakes and then lock them up there should be almost no heat. Obviously what creates heat is rubbing/friction between the pads and the rotor and if the pads are clamped hard onto the rotor in the case of a lock up there's no friction there as it's transferred to the...

Cool. Though to be fair it doesn't look like the other riders were trying too hard - most he overtook were just putting around. Bummer about the key-off delayed start - getting the holeshot is where ebikes usually shine. Not eating dust and being able to see would have been a bonus too! I'd...

Thanks CD. I'm making it a mental health priority to make time for more rides! 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...

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...

I'm experiencing a similar thing after coasting and it's not the battery causing the power fade. I've tried it with a fully charged lipo pack so there's no way it can't deliver the power a small controller is asking of it. When trying to configure the motor P settings it would also cause a...

Nice work CD. Are you printing with ABS ? It'll be interesting to see how it holds up - it looks like that narrow section where it bolts to the mount is a weak spot, though I guess if it's solid it'd be strong enough. I use a topeak front mudguard cable tied directly to the shock mount and find...

Sorry I've been sick on and off for the last few months and haven't been online much. I read your PM in bed on my phone but had to wait until I was in front of a PC to look up the shipping. PM sent. Cheeko, likewise sorry for the delay in getting your frame out. It should be delivered...

+1 to post pics! I've only seen this pic on their facebook page of the blue X model. Looks like a bigger sprocket and different graphics on the battery and controller but otherwise largely unchanged.

:mrgreen:

Yeah I'd say just rebranding - can't really be illegal as car manufacturers have been doing it for years. They went to a fair length though, even putting a little carbon sticker over the speedo display so you can't see where it says surron! I'm guessing they also painted the machined face of...

The articles alternate between 1st and 3rd person when talking about Luna. LOL Obviously not openly declaring they are Luna is to hide the bias so people who stumble upon the site don't realise it's a sales platform. It's shilling 101 Yeah people who say it costs too much are clueless. Sure...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems electricmotorcycle.com is Luna up to their old tricks again - making a website thinly veiled as independent journalism when really it's a platform to promote their products ? There's no way the white ghost will be that sort of money. Their busted...

Yes most likely just field weakening as the others have said. It's well documented you can make a motor spin much faster with the same input voltage and current with field weakening. The rest I suspect would be as Rix said - bigger sprocket for more punch and the field weakening up that top...

Wow! That's pretty crazy. As you said it must have been transferring grit than than just the straight rubber. Who'd have thunk it in a game of scissors, paper, rock, rubber, aluminium :lol: I have a RM85L (longer wheel base with 19/16 wheelset) and the seat height is about 2" higher than the...

Wow that's super impressive. Hard to believe such a little motor rated at 3kw can handle peaks of 10x that. Especially when Artur claims he overheated an early version stock bike. Given the abuse I've hurled at mine with no issue I found that hard to believe. It must have had some shocking...
