Similar to Amberwolf's suggestion of possible induction from a parallel wire, Grin Tech asked me to unzip the Erider cable from the frame (steel), and see if that made a difference. It appears induction from the motor or battery or controller/CA cables caused a current in the frame, which then...

thanks so much for replying Amberwolf. I haven't had a chance to do any real diagnostic work yet, adventure-times press. But I had more symptoms pointing to faulty wiring somewhere (it seems to me). I got caught in a small rain storm before I was done fishing, so everything got wet, and for...

Thanks! Those are great thoughts. I had already looked at Teklektik's guide, I found mention of Wgain, but didn't make sense of it, but I agree, I don't think it's the issue. The main thing I remember is him saying that normally it isn't used for anything anyways, and I think I have a...

I've found a couple posts with vaguely similar issues, but nothing specifically describing what I'm seeing. If someone can find a discussion of these symptoms somewhere, please redirect me. I wanted to try to see if I could figure this out without having to contact Grin directly, they've...

Hahaha. Yeah, Dogman, I just saw your location, so I did a random google map ride from downtown Las Cruses east on route 70. You have a hair more vertical climb in that 28 mile ride than on my 70 mile ride, which includes riding "all the way" down and back up the Ky river gorge, a "big...

Dogman, sounds like you've had some rough experiences on here trying to help people ("Don't listen to us either.. I know you wont."). Obviously you've got a lot of experience building up e-cargobikes. I appreciate your feedback and I have put in much work with your response in mind. I looked...

Thanks! I did some more reading and looking... Seems like 10T, yes. I think I'm pretty set on the GMAC motor. Hubsinks? The trip simulator shows a great disparity between shell temp and internal, so I wonder if the hubsinks would be helpful... ?? Looked at a couple other cargobike builds...

Hello! I'm just opening a thread for input from anyone with opinions before I make a purchase from Grin for my xtracycle. Do I need more battery? Is there a better motor option I should be considering? I guess I need to stick with the 10T vs 8t, in order to handle my biggest loads, outside...
