Is that the Midi-E controller? The battery pack looks great! It's exactly what I would want for a Beta build. Correct me if I am wrong but 115 Battery Amps would be a little over 4C discharge right? 30Q cells advertise 15A continuous discharge from a single 3000mAhr cell (5C), so sounds...

I take it thats a tube of thermal compound included in the kit?

Webiste looks the goods Rix/Jay! I noticed that for illustration purposes the Alpha is pictured with a single crown fork... Begs the question: How heavy is too heavy for a single fork?

Hey all, Work helped me make the decision in the end. I have been moved back to the East coast with work again and moving the bike was going to be a bit of a PITA, so I thought I would let fate decide and put the bike up on Gumtree. Within 6 hours of listing I had 4 interested parties and the...

Bike looks great Skeet, where are you planning on running the control wire for the Patterson?

So I finally went and took the bike on a proper trail ride the on Tuesday. I went with one of the guys from work who is right into his downhill riding. I have to say that the bike was spectacular! I couldn't believe how well the bike glided over all of the terrain and really badly jutting rocks...

Aus is definitely a nanny state for a lot of fun based activities. As for burnouts, everyone in Australia knows they are only committed by Lucifer himself and are the cause of at least 12 out of every 5 deaths in Australia. They are so lethal that when Ford decided to bring the Mustang to...

If you have the power electronically governed at 200w than surely it would be fine, because at the time that is the maximum power output... That said I'm fairly sure stealth bikes are 250w governed so point conceded

Lookin' good Rod, I'll see you tomorrow, what time will you be down there?

I don't know about no power, I mean the bike is pretty fast, particularly between say 0 and 40km/hr. It's just that, as with all things, you get more accustomed to its performance and then crave more. I'll tell you one thing for sure though, after adding the derailer control I have gained some...

The bike has the mini-e controller in it, the upgrade I am considering is the max-e controller. Mini-e is only rated to a max of 65 battery amps. So at 21S: 88x65 = 5720 watts, less some volts due to li-ion sag and I am pretty well at peak power for the controller. From your post I am assuming...

So I received and fitted the twist shifter. That gave me the freedom to remove the trigger shifter and re-fit the thumb throttle. I decided to put the shifter on the left hand grip so that my right hand could leave in a set amount of throttle and my left hand can change gears as the speed range...

No pictures this update, Just took the bike out for its first ride after fitting a gear shifter and some other bits and pieces. Such a big difference, I mean I have ridden it as more or less a single speed since I bought the bike and its not like it was awful or anything, but I can't see myself...

Cheers Lurkin, Yeah, I have to admit I spend a lot more time and money on the car than the bike. I'm planning on giving the bike some love though over the next few weeks. I sold my fun daily in order to get a tow rig for the car on its trailer, so I am planning on doing a lot more commuting on...

Long time no update, I have continued to use the bike for the commute to work, I still haven't taken it off on the trails as yet, but am hoping to do so before the summer is out. The only problems I have had to date are: A couple of punctures on the rear tyre, and Chain falls off the whenever...
