EM3ev seems to have things on sale at cheaper prices than Luna. Is there a reason to buy Luna over EM3ev? It seems like you get more battery for the cost with EM3ev and the BBSHD is also cheaper. Am I missing something? Afaik em3ev ship from china and Luna from US. Depending on where you live you m...

One question Is this motor square cranks only? When I ordered mine I recall asking for the square taper version, these must have been another choice for me to do that. I asked cyclone more recently and he said it is square taper only. For chain selection I would get 219h or single speed chain cogs ...

Or a pogo stick why not.
Seriously. Opinion only. The big box enduro frame design is tired and overkill. An alternative is a departure from this frame.

I meant just the swingarm with the motor integrated. The frame is dog poop.

Ok I should have used imagine. Basically figure out how to mount the cyclone 4.8kw coaxial and possibly also the swingarm to this frame. This could be an alternative to the Enduro frame. It’s obviously not going to be bolt on and go by any means. Combining the motor with the cranks clears up a lot ...

Last time it was discussed, a conclusion was made there is no way for the motor to spin without your crank spinning too. This is because it is built for PAS only and is missing an internal clutch. So for any throttle your legs would have to be spinning too, even if you chipped or replaced the contro...

Makes you wonder what's going on. Someone is getting scammed. I just don't know who. Given the claim of 20 patents, my first guess is that the Aliexpress bike is being sold illegally. Are you serious? Many of the most successful kickstarters are just alibaba item rebranders and resellers. How could...

Dont buy anything on kickstarter. You will be high and dry without money or the item. Wait for it to be released. No, it's not going to cost double after the campaign, because no one would buy it for double. That's if it ever gets releases. People who paid $1k for this scooter are still waiting for ...

Thanks for that info! Is there a safe way to discharge the capacitor in this scenario? My initial though it to hit the throttle after disconnecting the battery, but will that be enough to discharge? Maybe hook up a light bulb to the leads from the battery? Easy: unplug battery, turn on bafang displ...

Good things have been said about the grin half twist ones, and they are quite stealth too. https://www.ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/throttles.html If you're talking about the slim half twist, then I have gone through 3 of them and they last a max of 3 months before the spring is shot. They...

Domino is by far highest quality.

Anything else will be a lot lower.

Avner.

Sick. How wide is the hub?

I bought a magura 203mm adaptor, but I just needed the shimano 203mm one when I switched from shimano to magura mt5 front brakes.
Actually, the magura one didn't even fit. Only the shimano adapter I was using before did.

What battery you have? Backpack? How many cells is it? How heavy do you find it? You got it with the backpack. It’s an additional 10 lbs of battery in my evoc backpack. I run a 14s 7P custom built pack made with Tesla 18650’s. That comes out to 98 cells at 51.8 volts nominal. I’m building a new pac...

Unless you plan to keep the stock controller, why would you want to use only 16S? I would say you are better off using 18s or 20s. The sur-ron controller has an OK top speed, but it would be nicer if it would be just a little faster. This is why I plan on using 20s, that would bring the top speed f...

The phaserunner can pull all then the amps is able to provide... Not much more you can do messing with the controller.

If you get a new battery and want something similar but more powerful, you can order the cyc 72v65a (maybe 80a) foc controller when it comes to market next month.

You can see fuse on left side by the winding on my photo. White thing, 110°C on it. On your motor was the temp sensor just hanging loose like that originally or did you pull it out to show us? Should really embed it in the windings. Haha, it might be the usual cyclone way: good idea, lacking execut...

I have it on my cyclone 4000w motor. Newer tested. My controller can lower power and shut down motor on my temps. Its white thing by the winding. 110°C on it. The way Paco explained it that sensor doesn't communicate with the controller, but it will open a circuit and cause a hall fault when it goe...

And I can confirm, that newer cyclone motors have 110°C temp fuse. I never trigered it, but its here.

How do you spot the fuse?

Did it get stronger 130 to 150 or just hotter?

It would make sense making an identical but taller case with space for an extra layer... The same lid could be used then, and it's not like it's bumping into your chest anyway.

For anyone who's not seen it, there's a new long Luna interview on Youtube. All about the Sur-ron, future plans, etc. In short they are doing a 30q pack with bac4000. Also will be offering a limited number of belt driven models where they saw the chainstay and bolt it back up to install the belt. A...

for me the pack you going to build wil crapy over the stock :shock: no cell holders maximum cells in a alloy case is not the wise option and special when ride al lot offroad :flame: He will spare even the glue for extra space, and force the battery in with a rubber mallet, then proceed to run off 8...

If technically possible, mid is far superior. Better handling, lighter, much more torque with gearing, able to be liquid cooled. There is a reason Zero bikes, Harley, Lighting bikes all have mid drives.

The more tooth involved the quieter it will be and the longer it lasts.

True. Is it possible his setup had too much resistance or didn't do four terminal measurements correctly? I just wonder how the Samsung spec would be so far off. Such a big advancement would be unlikely from just a format change with same chemistry. I guess the spec sheet was for an aspirational on...
