Heat damages things especially electronic components, its common sense man. You could just have an external controller that is very small yet powerful. Base, Phase and Frank-runners are small and powerful if you can afford it. https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/controllers.html It would b...

Took 5 or so hrs with a long break. Still not done, need to solder on 4mm bullets to the motor phases. Should solder in the a/s to my batteries which are off the bike.

Going in for it. Phase wire repair on pcb. To many people out on this fine day and not feeling like dealing with them while out riding. Snip snip Desolder the wire through-hole on pcb. Inboard is the phase outside is the smaller red wire. easy, dont bother with the top, heat the solder track Wonderi...

Great point, wall outlets are female. 1) Do you use male or female on your battery controller whether be xt's or bullet connectors? Think of your wall outlets, and whether they are better as they are, as sockets, or whether having hot prongs extending out from the wall would be better. Done with the...

$90 ouch, but quality tool compared to the cheaper, not as accurate Jagwire tension tool at 1/3 the price. For a local bicycle shop, would those guys use one or would it be more personal preference and a coin flip on whether they had one or not in the repair shop? Spoke tensioning tool wouldnt work ...

So you (SM/Luna) are using an inbetween connector adpater with mixed of XT60 for charger side of the adapter and XT90 for the battery side of the adapter.... to charge the battery. Am I reading that and understanding that correctly? Another adapter to not mess that connection up, but you cant lose t...

Thanks Spinning Magnets Looking at my pile of connectors, got some Hobbyking 4mm, should handle 35a right? I have lots and lots of 4mm females, one male and lots and male-male adapters. Well I gotta do something, m-m adapters it is, but safety is key and I will do it proper. Just hope the 4mm HK bul...

1) Do you use male or female on your battery controller whether be xt's or bullet connectors? 1a) What would the industry norm, or an E/E would do? Yes I know it doesnt matter. *It would be best, I would think, to have the safest (male or female) connector on the battery side, which would probably m...

Ok thanks for the heads up, if the car isnt too small and has a good safety record from the institutes that do testing I will put it on my list. I am willing to go heavier car, bigger car for safety at the expensive of fuel. I have looked at 2's on the road and dismissed them outright. No, I sat in ...

The stock rim that came with that 2017-2019 Trek Verve 1 hybrid are Bontrager Connection rims (and it says 622x20 on the rim, I measured 25mm outer width. The rim tire charts dont affect me for tire size going from 20 to 18mm inner width. The stock tires are Bontrager H5, 700x45c which I found very ...

No, I sat in a Mazda 3 and its small but I had lots of layers on, will have to stop by a used car dealership to check out shoulder/head/leg room. I just rememberws that Nep posted something on Hypermiling https://endless-sphere.com/forums/search.php?keywords=mazda&terms=all&author=neptronix&...

You pulling a Louis Rossman? He did diodes on UPP packs. Check out the story on his channel. I dont know the story, but he was doing 2 packs in parallel to increase ah/wh but rectifier or diodes or something. I just unplug the empty battery and plug in the full battery, but I am 36v and 48v. I would...

Maybe you can get it shipped south, I had other methods to get mine southbound, extended family help.
I will be using 14g straight or 14/15g

Some hubs use 32h

Just need to find a cheaper source of quality spokes. I know its been mentioned many a time on es about

What year and model of Mazda is it? I have been looking at the 3, 4, 5 and 6, 3 is to small, prob 4cyl, Mazda 6 is 6cyl but more spacious for tall folks like myself. I have had an old Mazda 323 once, very small but I fit in it good enough. Utah has had the cleanest air year i have ever experienced t...

I am just wondering if the Alex Ace-18 rim 700c is a half decent rim? Looks to have some decent depth by the looks of the 26" model. Must be an older model as I dont see it on the Alex site. https://alexrims.com/product-category/wheels/road-wheels/ I need machined sides. This is for the rear wi...

What is old is new again.

Don't skimp on the motor, thats good advice no matter what the application is, like ebikes or ev's, skateboards, stand up scooters. Just means your wasting money if your motor is not powerful enough, if your lucky when swapping that your batteries can stay.

High discharge is nice to have, without gobs of paralleling (18650) and gobs of connections (tab welds/18650) and gobs of weight (LTOs, lifepo4's) and gobs of bulk (LTO's, lifepo4) Also remember custom shapes that can fit your battery into smaller places, small cylindricals help without big square t...

I never looked into it prior, may look into it now but someone does need to come up with a cvt that you can tow with, even just a couple dirt bikes or a kodiak blow up boat with hard bottom. Someone said cvt's are like bicycle gears then my buddy gets f'd over buying the Nissan Juke but its his own ...

Many a model of pp's
If you can stand the bulk and need a handle perhaps that model of pp is an option

My friend has a Nissan Juke with a CVT, he can tow exactly nothing. Light is good Smooth shifting with lots and lots of speeds for good fuel economy. but cant tow nothing Most people dont care when they are out buying a car. They just like the looks, and price. Until surprise surprise, you did not h...

I use XT90's every single day. Wires are 12awg, maybe a random one is 10awg, I find 10awg about the limit for me to solder a XT90. Anything bigger conductor wire (lower gauge wire) and I would have to concentrate a bit harder and have a steadier hand and I would probably slightly melt a housing or t...

Sounds like fake news to me, I'd need more proof that a certified mechanic didnt fix it up a little to make the story more appealing or that little to no major work or expensive parts werent conviently forgotten to write a story to get paid for. Maybe even the actual price for the car was actually h...

Funsies is my guess, but what Crystalyte motors are those? If its the 53xx series thats a big motor but maybe the qs 5000w will do without debris entry into motor holes btw your motors are looking too clean ;) Are those 12g spokes? now, get out there and ride as warm weather of summer, spring and fa...

You know how truthful they are in advertising, probably just 900 lumens and lie about it being an honest mistake of 9000 lumens or whatever their lie will be, them liars (usually), you have to be the informed consumer. This is a gadget you could do without, but it looks cool. MIles Wide Cable Buddie...
