It is possible to connect two identical packs in series. They key is that they must be the same capacity and have similar internal resistance so that they are discharged at the same rate. That can be tricky even with two similar packs. I would recommend running the packs in parallel instead unless y...

The bike has been parked for the season (fat ebike filling some of the gap) but I'm beginning to cobble together materials for something like this: The bike before it went electric, showing the approximate available space for a battery box: pack_size.jpg https://e4bike.ru/page/battery-shape-configur...

Great, thanks for adding that. You store is on my shortlist for a battery build.

Good point, location updated in original post. I'm in North Bay but willing to deliver within a 50km radius.

Where are you guys ordering the cyclones from? Luna is out if stock, so I orderes from the cyclone site in Taiwan. I havent heard anything except a paypal receit. No order confirmation or anything. Tried to email them yesterday, but so far no answer. Anyone experienced the same? I ordered mine form...

Does anyone have any experience dealing with https://18650canada.com ?

Thanks in advance

Would you be able to provide a graph to show voltage sag and capacity of the Samsung 40Ts you have for sale?

Thanks

Wunderbar, thanks Tommm! No need.

Thanks for the link Tommm, I've seen those aluminum ones come up in my search. They seem pretty inexpensive. What is your reason for suggesting the aluminum ones over steel?

Long story short, my 32T chainring has taken some damage. The one I have looks like this: 32Tm.jpg Does anyone know where I can purchase a new 32T BCD 104 chainring like this (looks less likely to bend than my old one): 32T-5-104.jpg The only place I see them at http://www.cyclone-tw.com/Parts.html ...

Nice conversion. For the sand, try lowering your tire pressure if you haven't already.

Yes, even if the battery is disconnected, it still could be the controller if the wheel doesn't spin smoothly. The motor is basically a generator. If any of the phase cables (three large cables from the motor) touch, it will make the wheel harder to spin; even without power. A blown controller will ...

Sounds like blown controller and/or damaged phase cables. If you disconnect the motor from the controller does the wheel spin smoothly again?

Interesting build. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

The bike has been working great since replacing the derailleur hanger etc... and my studs and bar mitts arrived. Unfortunately, the seller only sent me half of the studs that I ordered (100/200). I've decided to just stud the front tire only and 100 studs seems to be just enough; they really make a ...

These are the studs I ordered:

I'm hoping to try them out over the weekend if they arrive this week.

The bike had been working well and I was finally able to test it out in some proper snow. The bike is a lot of fun; I've also aired down the tires for more traction. It does exceptionally well on semi-packed to fully packed snow. Anything deeper than about 20 cm of snow and it becomes very difficult...

Nice work!

Just watched that one earlier; was a lot of fun to watch! Pretty Cool.

Ever consider heated grips? I started looking at them after reading DrkAngel's Snow Beast thread. They don't look like they draw too much current. Folks I know with them on motorcycles say they're pretty effective. I am definitely willing to give heated grips a try. After my bar mitts are tested in...

So the cold weather and snow are here. I've had the bike out a few times in some light snow and it is a lot of fun. The limiting factor for ride time is the time it takes for my hands to freeze. I've ordered some inexpensive "bar mitts" to help extend my riding time: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H4ddb...

What about the SuperMoto X with GreenGuard 26 x 2.4 ?:

That was going to be my choice over the Big Ben Plus but the SuperMotoX didn't come in 24"

That is correct, they both connect to the axle. I'm not sure if adding the fender bracket to the clamping mechanism of the quick release skewer is a bad idea though. I failed to tighten my quick release down all the way which led to my wheel falling out. After double-checking them; they seem OK now ...

Some more goodies arrived and were added to the "shapely" bike: basic voltage meter IMG_20191024_081253_rotated.jpg full fat fenders! IMG_20191020_141056_rotated.jpg added rubber where I could to try and prevent frame wear and rattling noises IMG_20191020_141120_rotated.jpg IMG_20191020_141110_rotat...
