As ElectricGod said, the sabvoton is dead. Pretty disappointing as it was not cheap and only lasted 50 miles. Done crying over it, I sold it to EG cheap as he can use the parts. I've been spending a lot of time looking for controllers and have finally decide on one. Like I mentioned a few posts ago ...

I'm all for the malectrics or even the JP welder, but it's not in this months budget (EEB project is bleeding me dry). The way I look at it is this; the malectrics needs a 12v battery (or lipo)anyway to run so I'll get that and see if adding a timer, solenoid, and foot switch ($20 in parts) will res...

@electricglider and choppa, thankd for posting the links and your ideas, awesome stuff.Yeah those bearings are super cheap on ebay I'll get some too. I intend to fix this issue on my bike, but I have bigger fish to fry at the moment. Still no word on the sabvoton. So we'll see how it goes as far as ...

I'm literally doing the exact same thing. I've ordered a solenoid and copper nails, etc to make a cheap spot welder. I remember seeing some good/inexpensive batteries like the one above at Walmart- going to pick one up soon. I thought about the malectrics one as well and may still get it, but I'm on...

@garen yes I bought them together. You're lucky you asked a vendor with a conscience. He/she is right, you can't just hook a tft screen up to any sabvoton as there are different wiring configurations on some of the sabvotons. Mine all connects together with these weird connectors and other models ha...

@choppa, thanks for the pic and info. I have been keeping an eye on the rotor bolts since installing the QS motor and all is intact there. Those mods you're doing should get that tiny bit of play out, my frame has clearanced holes (on the generous side) as well. I pulled my bike apart (swingarm from...

@choppa thanks, I'll have to look into this, because its annoying on bumpy terrain as well. I should be able to find some bearings and cut some shims on the laser. @Jonno, thanks I might drop the back a bit and see what that does. Definitely need get this sorted out. Well, I went for a ride on the t...

@Gstegman thanks man. There are some trails just off that road I'm on, so I might make a few more videos showing how this bike actually is an enduro bike and can be fun in both environments. Pack is made up of 25r cells, 100A BMS and I think they said 120A burst. I'm already thinking about making an...

@Gstegman Thanks! Proud owner here lol. Sucks about the front fender. How do the side panels look? Well I got the wheels back from the bike shop, but had a nice chat with the owner before I left. He pointed out the there was a size difference in the shoulder/axle length in both hubs. I was planning ...

If you have no luck, open up the controller and look at the ignition wires and see if maybe one of the wires had a bad solder joint on the board or something. Worth a shot.

Hi, sorry you're having issues with the sabvoton. Just to be sure, is the sabvoton throwing any errors? I haven't heard you mention a tft screen, so I'm assuming you dont have one. Did you get the version with the tft screen? If there's an error the LEDs on the sabvoton will blink. Is that going on?...

Dude wtf! Glad you got your stuff.
They should give you something free. I got a free Gibson lesson Paul (copy) Ace Frehley edition for free because they didn't ship on time, BS tracking, slow response times. So I filed a claim against them and got a full refund. Might be worth a shot.

@krasak84 The forks I have on my bike were purchased from the same vendor that sold me the frame, I wouldn't recommend them. Instead I'd go with something like the one below. That is actually what I plan to buy next for my bike. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Exclusive-DNM-USD-8S-Triple-Crown-Downhill-Air...

Damn I'm sorry to hear that man. Hope you get it sorted out, it really is a blast to ride once you get it together. Keep aliexpress in the loop and you should be fine. Keep us posted too.

@gstegman yeah most people don't want the attention. I do have to say that my head is on a swivel when I go for test rides on the street. I grew up on dirtbikes and love them still, hence the look of my bike. Yours is coming along nicely by the way. You should also look at complete plastic kits on e...

So I've been thinking about this for a while, and knew I've seen that error before, then it hit me. I was able to replicate the error you're seeing on your TFT screen. When I program my bike via bluetooth I plug in the usb stick and unplug the 3 wire connector in the picture below. Doing this allows...

Thanks for the love on the new baby boys. @geargrind glad you decided to make an account and contribute. Also glad to hear that you have ebike building experience and know where to get parts. As far as the bullshit tracking number, yeah that's pretty common on aliexpress. My frame and forks showed u...

@geargrind welcome to the forum, and ebike building. I had a similar issue with my wheels and controller. The supplier was late shipping everything so I got a bit worried and even had to threaten him at the end there. One thing you have to remember is that many of the vendors on aliexpress make your...

@gstegman installed a brushless setup in it last year, radio controlled, it does crazy doughnuts with my kid in it. Pic below So the wife just had our second kid this past weekend, so progress has come to a crawl. I have been able to do a few things in the past few days. First, I received the crf50 ...

Well that's weird about your dropout slots being vertical man. There are a couple options ossivit's solution or a more intrusive route. In our chat you mentioned hacking off the dropouts, and that's probably the way I'd go. This mod will be so much easier of you know someone with a bandsaw, mill, an...

Man I need to get a set of those, not sure when though. The zooms do suck ass though, I can confirm this. I did turn both the front and rear adjuster in the stiffer direction. I made a bit of progress this weekend, even though the bike is damn near worthless until the new motor and wheel show up. Th...

@electricGlider nice bike, I like your suspension; is it worth the money? Well I finally got my order placed with QS, their site said they typically take 2 weeks to lace it up and ship it to you. That should solve all my motor/performance issues. I went for a ride to day with the bike on 3 and accel...

Thanks man, I appreciate that. At the moment I'm using the power switch that is connected to the display. I thought about fuses, but decided to move forward without one. I set the MAX amps in the APP to 100A and the BMS has never tripped. I might eventually ditch the tft display for a cycle analyst,...

I'm literally learning the same things as you the same way you did. I dont have a white temp sensor wire (bundled with the halls) on my sabvoton either. Definitely no connections for variable regen, but you can adjust regen current in the MQCON app so it is adjustable in that sense. What also sucks ...

@rumme cool build, I like those tires a lot. I actually read one of your posts a while ago where you talked about going tubeless, very cool. I haven’t done too much to the bike lately (expecting another kid next weekend) but I did start making some side panels to give the bike a bit of a cleaner loo...
