i've used trustfire 14500's for flashlights and they're ok. trustfire is a just wrapper. the base cell inside was probably made by by an OK chinese factory like DLG, BAK or whatever. or maybe not. but the ones i've used were ok

Make sure the seam is facing to the rear so it will be closed in by the frame tubes that will be welded to it. And join those tubes left and right together with small plates. Great build. Keep going and updating this thread 8) yes that was the plan. we don't want it to split in front and lose the f...

Nice i have almost that exact same piece of tubing, its the first step to the thought of building my own frame. You started on a swing first which is a pretty good idea. I would likely get the front done then the back wouldn't adapt nice progress! watching closely https://i.imgur.com/3ueF4RM.jpg it...

finalizing the geometry...

machined the head tube...

25R is supposed to be an NCA cell so calendar life should be good. i have several dozen panasonic NCR 2900's (NCA chemistry) from 8years ago that are still performing almost like new.

do a discharge graph to see if they're still performing like new:

so i just got a batch of Sanyo GA's and needed to verify... needless to say they're 100% legit

Looks really neat - how far can you go on a full charge? So is that right the BBS02 would be the best option for a full suspension; lightweight e-bike, floating typ of e-bike in comparison to all the hub-drive bikes out there? I really want to get an e-bike or build one myself; I am living in Germa...

haha yeah it's too late for me to change my leverage ratio :lol: my swingarm has more leverage on the shock than yours so i might need a harder spring: https://em3ev.com/shop/dnm-burner-rcp3-spring/?currency=USD BTW when you sit on your bike what % of sag do you get at the rear shock? i'm actually a...

very nice project!

your BOM links to a DNM shock w/ 550 pound spring. is it too soft for your build? i'm curious because i'll be using a 550 pound also, but 220mm

check out the Rockshox Domain dual-crown. these have steel stanchions. should be quite tough

This build is looking really good! I would like to try a motorcycle rear hub for my OpenEmoto project. ( https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=92563&hilit=openemoto ). Yours look very lightweight but strong. Do you know where to get it online? Or a model number? Or which motorcycle...

Swingarm looking strong and solid. I also like the design. How is the drag (or cogging) of the drive compared to a hubmotor? Do you plan to use regen? tbh i haven't even ridden a hub motor :lol: so i have no idea yes i'm planning to get something w/ regen even just to save the brake pads. that's an...

someone can guide me i will appreciate: havving a problem with the new BHT 60v 1200w 0.35mm lams motor seems unstable after about 50%/60% of throtle already tried 2 kellys , hall sensors have good readings, from 0 to 5v spining the motor and about 12v in certain positions with the green blue and ye...

thanks. gotta get to work on the rest of the frame. this seems useful

flux core is such a dirty process

13s4p Sanyo GA pack. discharged w/ 6.8ohm load. pack was used on a BBS02 w/ over 4000km

i'm still getting 95% of original capacity

same 6.8ohm load

i'm still getting 95% of original capacity after 14 months and over 4000km

Hi Overclocker,

I just wanted to confirm: which website did you buy the BHT motor from?

https://www.e-bike-diffusion.com

but i'm not sure if it's still available

zero calculations made w/ this build (except for RPM calculations) :lol: it's all based on intuition :roll: Yeah i do it the same way most of the time, but sometimes it's deeply interesting to know some values :) yeah it would be great to be able to do finite element analysis and such. instead of t...

i have older NCR with dotted wrapper. some of them are clocking in at over 2900mah at 1C (2.9A discharge). that's more than advertised capacity after like 8 years

the motor can slide forward/back to adjust chain tension. i probably have to torque those bolts really hard though to keep the motor from "creeping" Did you do calculations for the maximum pulling force on the motor? The controller phase amps multiplied with kT will give you max motor torque. From ...

Cool project! I'm a big fan of frames with lots of steel tube fabrication. Hope the rest of the frame looks like the swingarm so far. You could add a plate on the other side of the thin slotted motor mount area. Drill holes the same as your motor mount bolt pattern and use set-screws to set the cha...

i'll add some gussets to stiffen it up

Nice fab skills man, looking really nice

i'm getting concerned about the strength of my motor mounting plate. it's 2.8mm mild steel. you think it'll hold up?

i think you had you had issues w/ bending your motor mounts in one of your vids
