Remember all spokes on the outside for width.

I like to watch torque numbers not speed not that speed is non important. Of late I have been thinking of my next build and looking for what would give me more torque than my current setup. 7T leafmotor in 26" wheel controlled by 40amp Infineon powered by 72V 24amp/hr battery https://www.ebikes.ca/t...

I used to look at renewables and EV's as a way of saving money. All of that has changed to saving the Planet. I try to do my part as I have more influence over myself than others. Lead by example, conservation first, don't believe people know how wasteful they are and how there life style is killing...

Well it's not an E-bike issue, its a driver thing. There is a age to speed ratio, I am sure most have noticed. The younger you are the faster you go and as you age your speed gets slower. Two examples, Young example he's going to hurt someone, Old example, Wished he would drive it or park it.

I'm looking for my notes, the first time I bought spokes they were 5mm two short. I measured to the lip not to the bottom of spoke hole. 232mm is close (with in 3mm) some one else posted what he used and it was on the money. when I am sure will post it.

It has been fall for weeks and the strange thing is no rain. We are in extreme drought in one of the wettest months. Another one for the record books seems like we are breaking records monthly now. Guess the new normal is nothing is the same.

What Great pictures, thank you for sharing. That e-bike sees a lot of KM.

What is comfortable for one person is not for others look at the Back Pain and Bikes. My trike is comfy and will do 30 mph but limit it to 43 km. Not every one uses mostly motor my watts/km varies from .9w-15w. Bet it all mostly depends on the roads and speed on what you ride. my mother of 79yrs rid...

I have a tadpole with no rear brake just front disc. Put both disc on one lever on left side. right side has throttle lever and a horn button to activate regen and vary it with the throttle thru CA3. I made sure the breaks do not drag at all and only used them to complete the stop or hold the trike....

Ozone in S.A. Tx is high, news stations ask that people don't put gasoline/petrol in cars to lower it. So you don't even need to burn this stuff for it to be bad just expose it to the atmosphere. Makes you want to go electric.

Started having some pain of late, trying to figure out what is causing it. I think it is my legs and lungs have improved the last four months and I can peddle up hills and it is causing me pain from the pressure of pushing hard. Going to try and keep my human watts lower on the hills and see if this...

by Alan B » Oct 06 2019 2:04am Slowing down makes a huge difference in energy consumption on an ebike. We all know that, but this was quite a significant change in consumption. Enough to increase the range from 16 miles to about 25. Yes, we all know that but are always surprised at how much differe...

These lights are new to my trike put on a switched/lock converter 72v to 12v for a golf cart. walked in to Autozone and picked out motorcycle fog lights, two in a box only have one mounted don't need the other. my running lights are just car interior leds and picked up the tail light at Wally world....

I like it, under the seat would improve the looks. keep going.

Now have over 1000 km on the trike. front tires are on my mind all the time now. They are Michelin Proteck 20x1.35, they did not have much grooved thread and are showing signs of wear. Have tried to set the wheels to 0 toe in and thought the tires are wearing on the outside so I toed it out half rou...

Took a day off from riding my tadpole and my back pain came back a little. Trying to get my head around why riding my trike at least five miles a day lowers my pain to almost nothing. After a ride my back feels great until I do something like bending over or sit to long. I have over a 1000 km on my ...

Soo what's the argument, it's not getting hotter or that's its normal? "September heat in San Antonio broke records — lots of them" https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/September-heat-in-San-Antonio-broke-records-14481374.php We did not have as many 100+ days but it is making it up in othe...

Nice fender! Ran over a coffee cup and it rolled up under my front fender but I am a fender fan. Adding lights and USB port, when I am done going to make a wiring harness to replace my spider web. I prefer to keep the wires hidden as much as possible. Your bike looks clean for all the electronics on...

My Mother has started to have back problems riding her E-Trike. The trike is better than her 2 wheel she can not ride anymore. So I was thinking of replacing her bike seat with more of a chair like seat. Have the seat further back and lower. Any thoughts?

The CA3 needs a 10K NTC thermistor and I believe the one in the leafmotor is a 100k. anyone correct me if I am wrong.
If your motor is wired then open it up and replace the thermistor. That is what I plan to do with my 7T Rear leafmotor.
This was discussed somewhere I will look for it.

Don't know enough to recommend. I know that the leafmotor handles 2k well but above that you need to watch the tempter. I bought pair of leafmotors at the same time. One came with a sensor installed and the other did not. The one with the sensor will not work with the CA3 but at least the wire is in...
