Helmet is Shark Raw. It is not that good actually. I got mine as a replacement for a stolen Shoei RYD.
The best thing about the Shark Raw are the goggles, dual pane and no fog problems. It is a open face helmet. For the price you get much better open face helmets or full facing helmets that actually protects your jaw and face in a crash. The Ryd I had before had good ventilation the Raw was like putting you head into a rubber ball. And to make it worse if you forgot about the removable! ventilation block (yeah you need to physically remove it from helmet to let in air) and it started to rain, cold rainwater would find its way into the helmet. At least then you know you forgot to close ventilation, and you have to pull over, look in all pockets for that damn ventilation block and then ride home with a wet helmet.
Stay clear is my 2 cents.

Rix said:Looking great Swede! BTW, thats one of the very first Alpha frames. I based that on the drop out. Or did FUTR change back to that drop out? You have some very sweet components on your Alpha. I can see you spared no expense and went with some of the finest stuff. All that said, I also see you went with motor wheels front and rear, very tough, and the cool/tough factor will add to the appearance

Those brakes and rotors look mighty expensive also and your hub motor has a mohawk haha! Do we get to see any riding vids once it's complete?
Cricket_Swe said:It was a pretty good circle. I failed to take a picture of it but you might still get to see it because I just realized I don't have any on/off wires on my controller. So I'm gonna have to do a tear down and solder some on, following these instructions

JtHaas said:my circle is atrocious and I'm too embarassed to post any photos of it
JtHaas said:It looks so incredibly clean
If it's like my Phasor: charge port to connector, connector to battery. You unscrew the panel, disconnect the connectors, take panel off.JtHaas said:Gotta question. You drilled into the side cover and put the charge port there Perth. How do you remove the side panels now?
Perth_ebiker said:Finished just today - ebike #2.
Well nearly. The seat is from an Electra Cruiser which became ebike #1 and will need to be changed eventually. It has no chain or tensioner yet, nor rubber grommets on the holes I added on the battery cover. I used a dremel to enlarge a couple other holes too so the waterproof plugs I’ve used for the motor wiring fit. And the Magura mt5e have red HIGO pins whereas the controller troller has yellow plugs (or vice versus), I’m going to try and make up a harness to get the ebrake switch to cut the cruise.
So it’s nearly done but I’m still going to ride it to work tomorrow (chainless hahah) as a shakedown ride. The motor is 4yo EM3ev 9C clone with a 40A Infineon controller and the pack is now 14S8P 25R cells. It’s modest by today’s standards but totally adequate for bike path commenting in my city.
I couldnt solder before starting this project. I’ve learnt a lot...

Thats a nice build, dont short yourself on the fun factor of a lower powered build. I have owned the Bomber, Fighter, Alpha, Beta and a P7 with another Alpha build coming down the pipe. As of date, my 1100watt P7 is one of my favorites.
I don’t miss my motorcycles at all and this is much safer and amenable to my wife and young family.
