    C'lyte throttle stuck wide open---> cause?

    Outside of the throttle assembly itself could a faulty motor controller cause a stuck wide open throttle. How likely would that be. I've got my system running for the e-Power Challenge. I had the velomobile up to 30mph and still accelerating slowly but ran out of street. Had to pull the...

    Crystalyte axle question

    Is the axle pressed into the rotor? I have a 406 front wheel and a 408 rear wheel. What I'd like to do is an axle swap. Ending up with a 406 rear wheel. Can anybody help guide me? This is for the e-Power Challenge in a few weeks. I wanted to buy a 404 but can't afford it for now.

    rear geared hubmotor advice sought

    Well it's been several months since I've posted to the forums. I had a 408/4012 rear hubmotor installed in my velomobile but removed it due to some perceived limitations.

Lately I've been toying with the idea of removing the hub motor from the wheel and installing it in front of my chain rings...

    Using Reverse as an Electric Brake?

    I have a 20a 36-72v clyte controller with a reverse switch. After reading several times about the hub motors having a higher rolling resistance rolling backwards with the controller turned on, I decided to try a little experiment while rolling into my parking spot at work. I flipped the switch...
