The Phasor is about to receive a new battery - a 21700-40T pack at 20s6p. I have been advised max amps should be around 105A. Therefore, it also needs a new controller - the existing one is 70A max. The motor is a Mxus 3k. Motor will get fins and ferrofluid The other constraint is the space to place...

Baldwin Street, Dunedin, NZ. There is a warning at the bottom not to try and drive campervans up the street.

These guys made headlines on drift trikes

I have a FS mountain bike that will do 40 mph, fairly safely - motorcycle tyres, downhill forks, good quality suspension. I have hit potholes at this speed, without major drama. I also have a 2000W dual motor scooter (60v). It has suspension, but nothing compared to the bike. Top speed is also aroun...

EM3EV seems to have changed, I don't know why. They are no longer supplying Mac motors, and their available stock has decreased. Just spotted this on their website "200+ MILLION CUSTOMERS; 1800+ TEAM MEMBERS; 24HR SUPPORT AVAILABLE; 99% POSITIVE REVIEWS" which sounds a bit weird. They used...

Yes. Most all 20mm hubs have spacers to adapt to the forks. The ones for the front SurRon hub are sold separately via Luna. Guy might have used them for his SM wheels or they just got lost. They are only held in via o-rings. You need 2 of these: https://lunacycle.com/segway-sur-ron-x260-missing-axl...

I picked up a set of original (new) Sur-Ron wheels, from a guy who put smaller motard wheels on the bike. I have a question regarding the front hub - it is only 80mm. I wanted to use it temporarily in a fork with 110mm spacing while another front wheel is laced up. Are there some spacers that make u...

I am tempted to buy one locally that will be coming up for sale, but visually it is tiny, I would look like a gorilla on a trike. Having said that, there are guys of 6'3" on the luna forum who ride them with mods, and even a 6'10" guy who speaks highly of the bike. https://electricbike-blo...

Ohbse, sent you a PM

i have been using one of these https://www.ebay.com/p/8002995864 on each of my heavier bikes - they have been very reliable. One I had to cut down to fit...

26" DH wheel - Mavic EX729 rim, Hope EVO 2 hub, DT Swiss double butted spokes with brass locking nipples. Built by ChainReaction cycles. Maxxis Hookworm tire. Not a ton of use, all on-road. This is about the best possible 26" wheel money could buy when built. Super light, ridiculously str...

Excellent, thanks for all the info!

Looks like great fun, and well made - can you describe what base scooter you used, how you made the battery enclosure, etc? Also, whats a Headway3 motor?

I got rid of my $400 dropper seat post for this new set up. This is way more comfy. what seat is that, TV? This is where I got it. You can buy just the front seat, you don't have to buy both pieces. https://www.occaferacer.com/product-page/super-73-two-seater-cafe-seat Thanks - looks very comfy!

I visited the head office in September this year (in Tauranga, New Zealand). Basically, the salesman didn't know much about the specs of the bike, and had no idea as to when (or if) production would start. He didn't seem too interested....

yes, problems from here in NZ for the last week

when I lived in Australia, there were no ebike stores I found (Perth) who would look at any of my bikes. Good in a way, because it made me learn stuff I otherwise wouldn't need to. Here in Auckland, I have had no problem at all - there are a number of stores who are only too willing to work on the b...

There seems to be a bit of miscommunication here. UPP can make battery packs from any type of cells you want. If you don't tell them, they would use Chinese cells.

Having said that, I don't know who Alisa39 is, or how she is related to UPP

what power are you planning on running? That may guide the choice

haha - if your insurance company understands electricity and looks at your order, they may say 48v x 25A = 1,200W!

You are then into an argument of continuous vs peak...

I am not sure which state you are in. https://peopleforbikes.org/our-work/e-b ... -and-laws/

looking at EM3EV's website - they offer a 1000W BBSHD or a 750W BBS02. Where did you see a 750W BBSHD? https://em3ev.com/product-category/e-bike-kit-motor/middle-motor-kit/ The motor could be programmed to a max of 25A, if you get a cable and download the software https://electricbike-blog.com/2015/...

excellent - as in like this? It doesn't cause too much stress? re the angleset - I just bought the frame, so it doesn't have one - but I will change the chip as suggested first, thanks for the help!
