    I'm back! and working on a new build! your input desired.

    Hi all, haven't been around this forum much in, gosh, maybe 5 years. So I'm a little behind on the current best practices and recommended manufacturers - I have some reading to do. That being said, I just acquired this magnificent machine yesterday: It's a Worksman, rated for 500lbs, and I'm...

    Going to talk shop at Golden Motor USA Friday - Questions?

    do you have a model number/name? John, I'm not sure I understand your warehousing question exactly. I'll def find out the scope of their operation stateside, but from what I understand already they're looking to do design and distribution from the US, not sure about manufacturing. The guy I...

    Going to talk shop at Golden Motor USA Friday - Questions?

    Hey fellas, been away from the forums for a long time, but I randomly ran into Phil who's a rep for Golden Motor USA here in Scottsdale and realized they have a facility right down the street from me. I'm going to go up there to check it out tomorrow, I'd be happy to take any...

    Project idea seeking input: Burning Man art/sound e-bike

    The main idea of the project is to be able to bring the party on the road with us - my partner on this one is also my dj partner and we'd like to be able to stop our machine and bump tunes and pass out brews, have a little mobile party whereever we're at. Speaking of burners, what kind do you...

    Cross-posted from E-bikes discussion because I'm not sure which direction this is gonna take, and I'd really like as much input as I can get :) http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21534&start=0

    Project idea seeking input: Burning Man art/sound e-bike

    Howdy fellas, it's been quite a while since i've been around this forum, largely due to the fact that I got my ebike up and running with enough stability that I haven't had to think about it in maybe a year - it just works, every time. God, I love it. But I digress. I had the incredibly...

    Any clubbing scientists out there?

    Issue w/ sensorless WE hub "pulsing"/ "locking" under power

    You'll never guess the source of my problem :oops: as I was taking the front wheel off, expecting to find a short which had messed up my controller, I unwrapped the electrical tape holding the power cable to the fork to find that the connector had come loose. plugged it back in and she runs...

    Issue w/ sensorless WE hub "pulsing"/ "locking" under power

    Welp thanks for the suggestions so far. It's def not a voltage issue - this AM I took a quick ride and noticed the problem, Vm never dropped below 37.7v As far as I understand it, it couldn't be a phase wire because I don't have Hall sensors on the motor - please let me know if there are other...

    Issue w/ sensorless WE hub "pulsing"/ "locking" under power

    Hi all, it's been a while since I've been around (mostly because my ebike has been running like a champ for the last year) but now I have a problem and I'm hoping to get some suggestions on possible causes/solutions. Kit details: WE BL36 sensorless motor, Headway 36v20ah, all WE stock...

    saw one of those Lightening Cruzers being repaired at my LBS - I just want one of those tanks for my battery!

    What do you think is the least reliable ebike component?

    I've had controller, charger, spoke, and other bike-platform related failures. I think the major problem is shoddy quality control across every one of these items - wheels being shipped with machine-spoked rims, bikes not being built to handle the stresses or weight of the extra components, poor...

    Introduction

    Hi Reese, welcome! You could certainly go with the e-mundo, but if you already have the xtracycle you could retrofit the bike by yourself pretty easily in a variety of ways. First you have to decide what your needs are, and what your budget is. A front hub motor (probably a geared motor would...

    GoldenMotor Magic Pie.

    Wow. Maybe 15 years abroad wasn't enough. You lost me again, sorry. I hope you're better at R&D than you are at customer relations.

    GoldenMotor Magic Pie.

    I agree with you on all points - I wasn't won over by the sarcasm but rather in spite of it, because this is the first post (that I've seen) where GM actually tries to engage the customers rather than talking down to them (although there is a fair amount of that still).

    GoldenMotor Magic Pie.

    I'm actually in the opposite situation - while I was initally put off by the negative reviews i've seen of some of the GM hubs, I wasn't considering them. And GoldenMotor had kind of put me off earlier in this thread as well. But that last post sounded like exactly the attitude I want to hear in...

    Is Magic Pie a good name for a motor?

    It may not be a "good" name in the traditional sense in which an American firm might name a product, but it certainly is memorable, has created some buzz already, and could work out well. The fact that there are so many threads discussing this motor when almost NO info is available is, to me, an...

    800 dollar e-bike

    Hey mikefish, sorry to hear about your knee. One idea I've been considering, and which most folks I've talked to seem to think is safe, is to use a "springer" suspension fork, which appear to come in 2 flavors: Triple Tree: "Bent" (for lack of a better term): The Bent variety are cheap...
