    2020 Honda Clarity ... 30a+ level 2 (240v) home charge recommendations?

    Hello all! I have finally realized my dream of owning an (almost!) electric car! Now I need to make sure I get a good level 2 home charge station. Amazon has several from $300 - $600, I don't want something low quality or poorly supported, but if possible I'd like to stay towards the $300...

    Bafang Ultra Max Frames?

    Looking to see what is available, I have seen a few here and there, but would like to see what others have found, it would be great if there were a cruiser frame out there (stretched cruiser even better!) but at least something in the "crank forward" or "flat foot" style like an electra! 8)

    Hello all, my beloved NuVinci N171b has finally got to the point that it is in need of serious over-haul, unfortunately, Fallbrooke Tech no longer supports it too the point of not even allowing any of their Invaritorc 638 fluid to be sold, so I am on the look-out for that or anything anyone else...

    Casey Jones, Watch Your Speed! (Serious Ebike Accident)

    Working E-Bike Efficiency .. Post yours please!

    For the purpose of this discussion, a "working bike" will be something that you at least ride on a regular basis, use in your work, (or at least to commute) daily. I am curious what is typical in particular to a E-Cargo Bike, in that you haul a significant amount of weight, but any and all...

    Nothing To see here .. Insomnia Post (Watts up with Watts!?)

    It would seem to me that many motors out there define their power in a very skewed way, i.e. the 78% efficient DD hub motor for "cheap" (mainly if you need a cheap heater that is :P ) is typically advertised as "1000w" with no real quantifiable specifics, i.e. controller, battery and efficient...

    Seattle Bike Supply was out of stock on these, and I needed them desperately for the work trailer, and I am still amazed at how I could order these tires and have them in my hands from The Netherlands to Oregon City, OR USA in just FOUR DAYS! :D That was amazing enough, but I didn't have to...

    Holy Exploding Tires Batman!

    Ok, so I have child carrier converted to a light cargo trailer (just tools enough to work on most things on a bike + electric components of an E-Bike) of undetermined brand (seems to be better than the bell's you get from department stores, and has until lately hauled bikes & tools with out...

    High Volts Vs Amps and controller options

    Ok, I have used LiPo for years, and I just don't care for all the extra concerns/maintenance, so now that I am foraging into higher voltage Li-Ion, I have noticed a trend. It would seem lots high powered builds go to about 20 - 24s and then make up the rest in amps. Is it just not practical to...

    Best IGH's for Mid-Drive?

    Hello all! :D As my favorite "IGH" the Nuvinci N171B is no longer manufactured, I wanted to get input on the best replacement for future builds. This would NOT be filled by the N360 as it is no where near as robust as the N171B. IIRC, there have been some high powered builds to include gas...
