Thanks for the response. I already have some of the usual thin PVC 400 mm from Ali or Amazon but was hoping I would be able to find the more rubber like material for better shock absorption. I haven't been able to find a larger size but Incase anyone else was in need I did find a link to 290mm...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a source for heavy duty rubber-like Battery pack Shrink wrap? 400MM or larger in size? Luna seems to offer a sold out "Shrink Wrap Tube Matte Black Rubber" in 200mm size but I'm looking for 4-500MM+ Thanks in advance.

I agree. Cars kill way more people than all electric battery fires by a landslide all day every day in NYC. If Cops and speed camera won't stop 70% of cars from daily speeding on local roads then forget inspections of e-bike batterys. Private Equity/venture Capital delivery apps sure do have...

NYC's 65,000 PEV (mostly E-bikes) Delivery workers https://losdeliveristasunidos.org/ (I'm not part of this just heard about it) have organized in NYC as a group that has so far shown to have some political influence. The city tried to ban E-Bikes in all NYC owned public housing (over 300K...

In my opinion the only solution to the NYC e-bike battery fires will be these delivery apps subsidizing high quality electric batteries or E-Bikes on the cheap to their employees Oh yeah these venture capitalists and private equity types aren't into having employees but prefer "independent...

According to several articles and stats on the subject NYC has over 65,000 app based delivery workers mostly on E-Bikes and other PEV's. When you consider that number of underpaid delivery workers depending on batteries it only makes sense in my mind that there will be a dozen or so fires...

Successfully pressed out the QS205 Axle using a 12 Ton Hydraulic shop press and a few solid steel blocks. C Clip removed. 2 of the solid steel blocks up against the axle sides and center core of the stator. Didn't put up much of a fight against 12 tons! And now will probably cut the wire...

I was wondering what length of spoke did you use for the QS Motor to Excel 19 x 1.85 rim? How did you calculate it? I want to try lacing my own QS 205 hub motor to one of these Excel - GDK422 19 x 1.85 rims using 10G spokes over the winter. I couldn't find exact Excel rim specs like ERD...

Looking to buy a few hundred or more cell holders for several 21700 20S12P battery packs. Anyone know of an affordable and reliable supplier with decent US shipping that won't take 3 months?. Single cell holders, 1x 2 and 1 x 3 for large 20s12P packs. Honeycomb options would be cool as well...

It definitely smears and I assume they decided against a hard glue to make repairs like mine easier. With a hard glue there would be no access to the wires. I will reseal with silicone grease. Picking up a 12 Ton press on sale this weekend and will update here.

I'm going to take your advice and wait until I get the hydraulic press. C clip was removed. I'm sure a metal shop in NYC will charge me at least $100+ for the job and I can get a well reviewed harbor freight 12 ton press for $169. I get a feeling this wont be the only broken Hub Motor axle I...

This 8" gear puller worked great to help remove the stator. I'm going to try using the gear puller to remove the Axle held in place with a vice. If it doesn't work then I'll go to a shop or buy a 10 ton hydraulic press to do it myself depending on what they charge. Is that gray stuff...

Thank you very much for this detailed info. Once the Axle arrives ill likely ask Machine/metal shops around me about using their hydraulic press. Ill try to find a pipe or something similar to press against. I'll do my best to document the process and share if successful.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully replaced a broken Axle on a Qs205 V3 Hub Motor? Did you need a hydraulic press or was a certain sized gear puller sufficient? I have a replacement Axle on the way and could use any tips. I am a recent victim of a nasty NYC pothole. Dual suspension...

As someone that has worked in several busy Manhattan ER's I challenge anyone here to visit their local ER to ask around about Bike or E-Bike accident numbers VS Cars/ICE vehicles. You can always just look up the statistics as well. The heaviest gnarliest 96V E-bike on the road replacing a car...
