Why is johnct61 not answering the questions we posted to him earlier in this thread yet complaining about not being on topic? It's been almost 4 weeks and he won't even answer post #2 or my question in post #9. He won't answer any questions, yet he has been in these forums the whole time posting in ...

Hey john61ct, If you care so much about this thread (instead of pretending to) why don't you start by answering the questions in post #2: What is the cargo that you need to transport up the hill in size and weight? How steep is the hill? How are you transporting it now? Does it have to be based on a...

https://endless-sphere.com/forums/download/file.php?id=312239 We might also remember that Chalo is rather tall and big. So adjust the distribution of his weight to this bicycle. Someone who was 5' 5" and 125 lbs might have troubles with the height of this bike. This is an example of a bike tha...

My point is you don't need to understand these things to buy them, you don't need much knowledge to assemble them, and you don't need anything at all to have an opinion. But you have to understand what you're doing at least relatively well if you are to build a unique thing from scratch and get it ...

What have you made, other than money to buy big flashy bikes with mall-Jeep qualities? Like, what have you made with your own hands? Well I seem to have missed quite the party here. Sadly, I am certain this user has value to this forum. But not here and not like this. I've given specifics already s...

Since I'm currently poorer than ever (heatfelt FU to our Dear Leader for that, among other things) If you really are poor I would get away from this forum. There are way too many bad ideas floating around here and I know you don't have the capability and understanding to sort through them like I ca...

This statement... needs to be banned. Please take such comments elsewhere john61ct you have no backbone. Well, you might have one, but it is not connected to anything, apparently :D And you believed that lower center of gravity hurt stability in single track vehicles until I straightened your ass o...

As I understand it's a direct drive motor and it does not have planetary gears. So no Grease The QS212 motor is direct drive motor, but the motor in the Jump bike front hub is a Bafang geared hub motor (SWX02 10T) with 5:1 internal reduction. The SWX02 motor core is reported to be as quiet as a Q10...

e-bikes in the low price range aren't for me, but it's interesting that the ratings for them on Amazon are consistently high (4+) exhibiting their appeal to their audience. Also, many years ago when my children were young, BSO's were the only bikes available (that I could find since I couldn't affo...

What have you made, other than money to buy big flashy bikes with mall-Jeep qualities? Like, what have you made with your own hands? This statement (or one very close to it) that Chalo makes in almost every argument (whether it is about tubeless tires, whether it is about planetary gearboxes, wheth...

Okay, show of hands for everybody who's lunched the gears in a Jump bike hub while running at 22 amps or less. Anybody? Some people have already had to replace their jump bike motors with new bafang motor cores because the jump bike motors make too much noise. Example below: https://endless-sphere....

No reason to open as ez to tear wire jacket. So don't open unless needed. Plus the bearing are very hard to get grease into and maybe sealed to some extent. We are talking about the nylon planet gears + metal sun and ring gears, not the bearings. My prediction is (for the average Jump bike motor) m...

you will do yourself a big fat favor if you leave the ego at home in a box. STFU. And ride. Don't type. Ride. Me? I ride every time I leave my house. It's that or walk. What have you made, other than money to buy big flashy bikes with mall-Jeep qualities? Like, what have you made with your own hand...

What does someone have to prove? Why do they make easily disproven untrue statements to try to prove their theory? What's in it for them? You mean Chalo? Maybe he would rather sell more cyclone motors and the labor to install them than suggest simple and easy preventative maintenance the pedicab ow...

Yeah I thought this statement was a little suspect: They were on a Jump bike remember? A bike which got ran all day long at full advertised power... Blatantly False. Plenty of Jump bikes in my area. They're lucky to get used more than a few hours per day. If that. Otherwise they are sitting around ...

I designed that motor system. No you did not. Not the motor-- the system that has the motor as a component. I understand that you don't appreciate the difference because you haven't ever designed or constructed or repaired or assembled or specified or reconfigured any of this stuff. Nothing about t...

Even the company you work for mentions this for their de-amped cyclone 4000 (running at a mere 1150 watts because you guys turn down the 72v controller down to only 20 amps). https://precisionpedicab.com/products/cyclone-gearbox-nylon-gears-22-teeth-25 These are a wear item. One should expect to re...

These hubs come with grease in them. When it gets contaminated or slung off or has some other problem, the sound will let you know. Avoid several minutes of preventative maintenance and then wait till noise happens like this guy right? a few years now. Heavy usage and harsh winters have taken their...

Grease? so I should open up the Jump hubs and grease them? No need to open one unless it's unusually noisy or misbehaving. Irresponsible. Just plain irresponsible. These hubs come with grease in them. When it gets contaminated or slung off or has some other problem, the sound will let you know. Avo...

Maybe if you bought complete bikes on sale rather than wasting so much time building expensive junk bikes you would actually have time ...

Seems about right, those jump motors are now $40 The reason they cost $40.....actually $40 plus shipping....is because they are going to need (on average) a lot of work. In fact, I have been reading how many of these jump wheels need truing. That means depending on how long they have been out of tr...

But you didn't know this and thus allowed your personal experience to deceive you . Chalo, let's face it dude anyone who thinks lowering center of gravity hurts stability in single track vehicles obviously doesn't know bikes......even remotely. I know what the conventional wisdom is about these thi...

Lots of us have swapped wheel sizes and know things about it. You haven't, and you don't. I knew right off the bat it would make the bike less stable: A much better example of lower center of gravity would be to simply lower bottom bracket height but keep all other aspects of geometry and seating p...

One day you'll acquire some real world experience and finally see the folly of your ways. Until then, respect your mom so she doesn't decide to kick you out. A good example of what I am talking is you (Chalo) believing that taking a 26" beach cruiser and replacing it with smaller wheels proves...
