ow I think. I'll also add a large heatsink under the 2 controllers to aid in their cooling. I discovered a controller issue with Nuculars thanks to my build. 2 in parallel will create some interesting back feed issues that blows up the logic boards. When you say gear too steeply, a 12" wheel a...

While I realize you probably couldn't do too many consecutive tab welds, this little cordless unit sure looks cool for $39 + shipping. https://shrsl.com/2rutz A vid of it being used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_ZV-5WHi4&list=TLPQMTQwNTIwMjGZLM0YwMyACg&index=15 For that kind of price I'...

This and everything else after it can go to the new thread: Threads often drift off topic, and mods shouldn't waste their time moving things around. FWIW, unlike my Nucular controllers, Chinese controllers should never be run at max power or the sure result is blown controllers. Also, the route to ...

Got a bld72701 controller and water cooling block direct from manufacturer £223 delivered no import charges. 300batt amps 700phase amps, vector foc ,300% overspeed, bluetooth not sure on the erpm limit but they state 150kmh for some reason so they must have a motor configuration in mind but im no m...

The red scoops are screwed on and they face the right direction for cooling in the forward direction for motor spin. Scoops don't do squat...blades do. We went through the math of it here on the forum years ago. If those pictured are on the left side, then they absolutely face the wrong direction a...

Regen makes practically no sense anyways as it makes tiny trickle charges. I can't believe someone is still posting these kinds of anti-regen falsehoods in 2021. -Regen adds range, it's like getting 5% or more of free battery. -Reduces maintenance time and cost (I haven't changed a brake pad or fid...

It's oh so easy to fabricate a nice thick clamping torque arm for that. Then 3 smallish welds to secure it in place leaving it easily removed later to restore the fork to original form if desired, but it would still function like a clamping dropout so the wheel is easy on and off to change change ti...

Even cheap torque arms typically work fine as long as axle nuts are nice and tight. Once regen is introduced all through hole torque arms are proven inadequate in the long run unless you go with a ridiculously expensive solution like Nord Lock nuts that prevent axle movement more than the torque arm...

Since you don't want to weld on your bike, fabricate a nice thick .25" or thicker clamping type torque arm. Almost none of my builds have the axle nuts installed on the hubmotor axle. My clamping dropouts hold the motor wheel on running power from 11kw-32kw peak input with regen braking on eve...

Probably theres is a difference in the quality of winding wire, like how much insulation coating is on the winding wire itself. And how does that coating affect the motor itself, eddie losses, core losses etc. Couldnt you just keep coating that magnet winding wire and get the thickness of coating y...

Whatever you do don't buy another from the same manufacturer. That's the worst winding job I've ever seen on a hubbie. Not only are the turns around the teeth not neet, tight and uniform, but the long spans of magnet wire just doesn't appear right and is sure to result in failure. Wires in a motor w...

Should the min throttle voltage be set to just above the current throttle voltage, or just above it? When I set the brake voltage to just below the current brake voltage, I hear noise coming from the motor. Even with it set this low, the voltage does not change in real time when applying the brake....

I think your right, the horizontal 4x4 rails as a base, and able to insert wheels is a grate idea. Gives you a nice base for all the other add on's, and can be more universal. Being able to put the wheels in while your building is a super good idea, like you say, wheels, chainline, and length is qu...

Electrics don't like going very slow at low partial throttle, because they are very inefficient running like that and phase currents (the pulses going to the motor) spike sharply. When running inefficiently it turns much more juice from the battery into heat instead of work. More typically low parti...

I'm with MarkZ and Zerodish. Flats are a real pain in the butt on ebikes with substantial batteries and motors. You have a motor, so just use tires made for motor vehicles. So what if it adds a few pounds and a couple extra pennies a day in electricity. It's definitely worth it to me, even if the o...

Recommending use of a dull cutting tool is one of the strangest things I've heard on the forum. Yes aluminum and brass drill differently because they are softer and more ductile, so significantly higher rpm than used to drill steel is recommended. Sharp tools work best on aluminum (with adequate lu...

Steel you can bend and take it as far as you dare. Aluminum you can't bend, so just 5-10mm at the most, because aluminum doesn't do well under stress. You can't do the threaded rod stretching with aluminum. Steel ebikes are the way to go, then you can't easily mod and make any changes you want. If g...

After just free-styling it on my ebike builds for the past 12 years, I'm gonna build a jig... Something easy like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NdjDi95NFA but long enough and with 4"x 4" uprights so I can do the wheel holding like this guy does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I...

Let's see that seat mount to make sure it's still strong enough. From the pic it looks to me hanging there on something than may dump you onto the tire.

Forget the gasser unless you need more than 80-100km non-stop range. What is exactly what i need. I'm gonna be doing thousands of miles. It's my main mode of transport. I dont drive cars I havent driven a car in 16 years with the exception of re-upping my drivers license since I moved to another st...
