@choppa what's up man? How are you and the bike doing? Well I pushed really hard to get a bunch of improvements done on the bike before hitting the trails this weekend. One of the mods/fixes was the front tire. I got the shinko 244 mounted (by a LBS) and daaaaamn that things is wide, a little too wi...

Saw a video of someone cutting the old tube and wrapping it over the new one, almost like a jacket. Going to try that on my next flat.

Found it:

Use the torque arms QS gives you, they work really well. Get hope brakes if you can swing the price. I have tektro auriga brakes (with brake sensors) with 205mm rotors and they're a little underpowered without regen over 30 mph on my eeb. I've had good luck with these. If you search ebay there are d...

I'd go 19" moto rim with a qs273. Not sure if you bought it already, but qs will lace the motor into whatever rim you want. I get it if you want to build your own. I had them lace my qs205 in a 19x1.6" rim. I buy my tires on ebay (shinko 244 in the front and dunlop knobby in the back). Hope this hel...

Here's another video of the same trail, but this is the descend, so most of it is down hill. It was a nice reminder that I need to get a better front tire and possibly upgrade the brakes. The front forks of course will get upgraded, hopefully this year. I have ordered a shinko 244 2.75-19-43 for the...

Another solid day on the trails today, with video this time. Max power pulled was just under 14Kw and 90% of the video was uphill (steep and choppy). I had a fan in place this time and right when I came to the stopping point in the video the thermometer light on the dashboard changed meaning it was ...

@markz Lol no. There is a regional park by my house that has hiking and biking trails. I've been going there towards 6pm when there are fewer people on the trails. Never been much of a trail rider, but am starting to get into it. I got a 12v brushless fan installed on the bike to help with the therm...

Andy Kirby put a phase runner on his bike running a bafang setup.

So it's been a while since I've posted an update as the bike has pretty much been sitting. Lately I've been watching some sur-ron videos (I want one so bad now) and got inspired to fix some of the issues I had with the bike. I started off with adding a light so I can go to these trails I just discov...

Well it's been a while since I've posted in this thread as I've been building other projects (EEB, other ebikes) and it's been crazy busy at work. Anyway, I was riding this scooter daily in SF a couple miles a day (hard riding) with no problems and 1 accident (driver cut me off and slammed brakes on...

@dung I dont have dnm forks, I have cheap zoom forks. I want to to get the usd -8 for my bike and will in the future, get em!

So, a while back (on 11/11) I bought some liitokala 26650 cells off of alibaba for a custom battery I wanted to build for my stealth bomber clone. Instead I’m planning on building a battery for my kid’s dirtbike as he always runs out of battery before me and he could use a little more power. I want ...

@felix what's up man. I saw your thread a while back, very detailed. You're lucky to have all those bikes. Thanks for the compliments. As far as my bike, it's pretty much in the home stretch. I regret being cheap with the forks up front. I knew they were cheap when I bought them, but I was on a budg...

@gearsgrind, really sorry to hear you've been having health issues, hope your feeling better and can get on the bike soon. I was following your battery build, you really did a nice job man, the welds were nice and you could tell that you took your time. I almost PM'd you to see if you wanted to sell...

@bikestick What's up man, welcome. I'm not even sure how many teeth are on my front sprocket (haven't even hooked up a chain). I think 42t is what a lot of people are using. Andy sells, them, I'm sure there's other vendors. https://www.cloudsto.com/ebikes/42-tooth-chain-ring-detail.html The bike has...

Not much of an update other than to say that she's running sweet. I went back to my hometown last weekend and ripped at one of my old riding spots growing up. I got some video while I was there, not much so I'll throw it in with some other video I have of local spots for the next one. The wife did m...

@pwd thanks hope you get to ride soon. About halfway up I lost a lot of speed and was getting some wheel spin. I was full throttle the whole way, didn't let off (kept saying "I'm not doing the walk of shame" to myself) @choppa Front suspension sucks but is holding up. I put a new starnut in so we'll...

Had some beautiful weather this weekend and I was able to get the bike out for a proper ride with the new tire. The wife was planning on being out for a few hours today so I knew exactly what I was going to do. I've been wanting to climb this big ass hill here in town. I drive by it all the time and...

Finally got a couple hours to finish up the bike. I finished extending the wiring for the 12v system because I moved the dc/dc and terminal block all the way down under the battery tray. I finished wiring the fan (which I'll probably change) and got everything back together. I went for a quick rip d...

So I've been pretty slammed at work and not a lot of time to work on the bike. I have made a bit of progress though. I finished mounting the aluminum frame for the battery to rest on inside the battery box. I also cut and bent some aluminum sheet metal to mount to the frame. Doing this allows for a ...

@dung, yours looks nicer than mine. It's hard to tell from the pic but looks like you have a steel insert in yours, I'd leave it alone if that's the case. Made more progress this weekend, but still down. I could've rushed to get it back together just to take it apart later to add the improvements I ...

@dung what's up man, welcome. As far as that bushing goes, you might as well drill it out now that it's pretty accessible and install bearings. The side panels leaking water haven't been an issue for me, I've only ridden in light rain though. So I've been chipping away at the to do list and am almos...

Sup, I remember you from the MES forum(I was ruthlessrider100). Welcome back, hope you build something cool soon.

@yungyakz not sure. I'd send EG a PM and ask him as he took it apart and has the guts. @choppa, finally got that damn bushing out, what a pain in the ass. Going to make an internal spacer between the bearings so that they don't push inward on each other. So I got some stuff done this weekend and am ...

Really nice work. My battery build is on hold, buy will pick it up soon, definitely appreciate the detailed pics.
Cheers
