    Mirror image or Duplicate pattern? [spoke lacing]

    Can anyone tell me if it is better to use a mirrored spoke pattern or a duplicate pattern. And it looked like there was only one way to install the spokes, but now that they are on, it looks like I can use the mirror image pattern like the spokes on the other hub. All of the spokes on the...

    Best motor and drivetrain for large Cycletruck?

    If hub motors have a weight limit of 200lbs, is there one that can handle more? Like the german made Heinzmann hub motor ? I think large cycletrucks should be able to handle 600lbs not that they would be hauling that much weight all the time. But I haul a total combined weight of 450lbs often...

    Wobbly Cyclone Bracket Cure.

    When I got this mid-drive kit I looked around to find an image by DingusMcgee of a bracket that would hold it rock steady. Then I built my own version. Angle bar and flat bars with bolts holds it very steady. But it is the tube between the two flat plates that makes it wobble proof. So if you...

    12 turn Hub-motor vs Mid-drive for hill climbing ??

    I think someone should do a comparison test between a mid-drive and a hub motor with 10 to 12 turn winding with or without gears. How much energy would it actualuy use in a given hill climbing compairison. Same total combined weight, speed and steepness of grade? With the price of batteries...

    Mt.Goat Cycletruck / Cyclone3000 build

    About eight years ago I needed a new utility bicycle [my old mountain bike was worn out] so I did about a years worth of research and measured design work.

    Brake cut-offs ? [cyclone 3000] Does the brake cut-offs need to be disconected or connected?? Someone said disconected but the diagram indicates that it should be conected to short-it-out?? Using the word 'short' is confusing. When I think of shorting an electrical conection I see think of...

I don't want to rig up a three position switch to find out which wire are which. I do not even want to...

    Accelerator with more twist??

    Does anyone know of an accelerator that has more than 1 inch of motion? I made the mistake of buying one that has only one inch of twist for the full power of the battery, and that is way too much. The one I got had a misleading description: “Full twist throttle” does not mean a “full diameter...

    Custom printing of large timing belt pulleys?

    Found this video about printing 3D parts for a motor etc. But having no access to a printer I am hoping some one here can tell me where to have it done?

    Hub motor as a MIDMOUNT direct rear drive?

    “The Grin simulator is an exceptional tool, when used for comparisons but in the real world one finds their usage often deviates from what they were inputting.” They tell me that they do not sell this leaf motor. So now I am reduced to looking at their spread sheet, that does not come close to...
