Since I can lift my seat up to pedal better, my plan last night was to leave early, and pedal all the way downtown, 20 miles with no power. With only 19 2/3 miles to go, I finally gave up on that stupid plan, sheez

LMAO!

Super cool Theo.....since I’m 6’4” tall I find I could really use the extra height of a dropper seat post and, of course the prestige!

Cool posts!

Tom

8k would be acceptable in my opinion.

Assuming it’s not stupidly priced I think I’ll buy one when available!

I think it’s the shit for buzzing around like I like to do.

Tom

What did the weight end up being on your bike? I’m wondering what the difference is between the M600 and AM1000.

Beautiful bike!

Congrats.

That is a fantastic looking bike! I’m debating going to a store bought or possibly build a bike using the same mid drive. I have a 120 lbs Vector/MaxE/QS 205/20s15/motorcycle tired/8” travel/65 mph beast right now but find myself really wanting a nice 50/60lbs bike to ride. Looks like you’d recommen...

For what you are wanting to do a Vector or similar frame is your best bet in my opinion. Front forks you can get anywhere, bike shops, eBay, pinkbike......I’d recommend dual crown only! You do not loose a lot of power from full suspension unless your referring to peddling. That is what suspension lo...

Looks like you would need about 4000 watt hours is what I would guess. 150 kilometers is right under 100 miles and I figure you’d average about 40 watts per mile equals 4000 watt hours.

That would be a 20s18p of 30Q cells.

Tom

That looks excellent!

Looking forward to getting one.

Tom

If using a bicycle frame you might want to look at the MXUS. In my opinion regular bicycle rims/tires are not good candidates for the QS205 which is such a heavy motor. Flats will get old for you. With the amount of distance you need/want and speed you desire you may want to think about a Vector sty...

I have a 20s15p 30Q pack. While bigger might be better I can peak 14,5 KW (actually higher but that is tops for my MaxE!) and get like 100 miles on my 45 amp pack.

Just in case you were wondering.

Tom

Just over 9 for me.....next year I’ll have the beer when I’m old enough!

Tom

Excellent design.

Tom

Nice build.

Tom

You got your Bomber back from dad? How’s he doing? Still riding much?

Tom

That is a pretty awesome testimonial. I never had good luck with bicycle tires when I ran them....twice I had to do the walk of shame. That was also when I ran smaller lighter motors, BMC geared, xlyte 40XX and MXUS. When I went to a QS205 I also went straight to 17” and will never go back. The 3.00...

So I non stop heated up a Mxus 3k at 7KW and less yet I’ve pushed 14.5KW through a QS205 V3 3K motor. Here After a few years and it’s still going strong. I think there might be some misconceptions on actual power ratings and efficiency.

Go with what ever makes you comfortable.

Tom

Bike looks really light since there is so much open area. Do your knee’s fit behind the battery cases or do you have to spread them to ride?

Looks excellent! Great attention to detail.

Tom

I just recently had my MaxE fixed and it took about 2 months. Total cost was about $265.....they had to replace 6 FET’s and one driver. Shipping is the killer! Have no idea what went wrong...never got that answer. Since getting it back I’ve dialed back the power to 12 KW from 14.5 KW and lowered the...

Looks like a great display. Can’t wait for the 24’s to come out.

Tom

Nice bike....too bad it’s on the wrong side of the pond for me!

Tom

It’s funny that Dan mentions about how fast he wants to crash at.....I never put it in words before but realized I have the same philosophy. While I’m not saying it’s the quickest, fastest or best handling electric bike, my bike can peak in the mid 14kw range, top speed in the 70 mph range (never be...

I’m worn out after about 100 miles off roading per day......bummer only having 38.

Still a super cool bike.

Tom

I guess I forgot yours was a street legal version? That is super cool.......ride to an off road destination.....ride home.
