Endless Sphere

What gets me the most is that this model is not user-serviceable. You don't know if/when it will go, and, once it does, it has to go back to the manufacturer because 'they know best'.

Where do you mount the carry-on bag on your Paratrooper? Pictures please!

You're looking at it in my previous post.

Then went to a SATORI-UP2. It is a great product!

But it's not an extender. It's adjustable, but it doesn't do the same thing as that other one.

So ,one year later. Are you still happy with the hpc bag for your paratrooper? Oh yeah, it's a solid bag; it also has an extra pocket on a side for various things to be stored. But since I've been mostly commuting, the bag wouldn't really work since it's just too big for a comfortable ride to and f...

This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J22OIR8/

Prices are outrageous? ?? Huh? It's a high quality battery bag for a not so common bike and you think the price is outrageous? I think it is outrageous that you haven't produced a cheaper one made of even higher quality instead of complaining here! Maybe people can't make one themselves due to logi...

You said you had improved the riding position,,may I ask what changes you implemented?

I got a stem extender.

Still active, still looking.

Right, ok. By 'platform', I meant forum platform. But whatever, don't want to derail the thread.

I'm sending this message to let you all know that Neptronix and gammaray have been hard at work preparing for endless-sphere to be hosted by Amazon Web Services rather than the current server provider that we have been using for the past 4 years. They are just changing platforms. I was under impres...

Are we looking to upgrade to a different forum platform, like vBulletin, XenForo, etc?

Is it because of the C rate? Have the cells changed much in quality? If so, is there a thread on the new cells somewhere here?

I don't understand - haven't they gone bankrupt? If so, how come batteries are still being made?

Speed is limited by back EMF. When the RPM reaches a point where the voltage generated by the motor equals your battery voltage, you’re done. The back EMF is proportional to the number of turns. So, for a given RPM, if a 3 turn motor develops 20 V, a 6 turn motor will develop 40 V. Conversely, the ...

Remind me again what's the science behind that turn count? I remember that the lower the number, the faster it'll go, but why?

Was There anything less good with the Mac? The motor itself is great. But as you gain more knowledge of motors, their specs, what they're best suited for, battery chemistry and configurations, you inevitably discover and make new things. I originally thought that I need the fastest - 6T - wound. Ac...

I am building exactly the same setup

I'm now on BBS02 and a self-made 10 Ah mid-frame pack.

You're looking at two completely different bikes and drive philosophies - one is a hub, another is a mid-drive. One has a 2KW battery, another - 400Wh.

I never tried a mid drive motor so I cant say much and I also don't know how much that bike cost you new, but I can honestly say I seen top of the line mid drive motors for not very much at all. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Electric-bike-Mid-Drive-8fun-48V-750W-BBS02-New-16-Mos-Ver-1400-W-max-output-/27...

You should get of my nuts

I think you should start following the rules, more or less.

Any update on the N360 with a motor?

Oh, sorry, I was referring to the V3 - it's 39 euros for the bag and 37 for shipping.

icecube57 wrote:There hasnt been a group buy in a while you are better off ordering directly like I did.

Yea, but that shipping, man - that shipping - it's nearly the cost of the bag itself.

ecycler wrote:Crap, did I miss the group2!?

Pretty sure you did, as did I, but it was for the V2 - a bigger one. I'm looking forward for the V3 group-buy.
