No bicycles in the stores in my area, bicycle shops claim that as fast as they can put them together their out the door. Maybe just maybe they all need Cycle Analyst.

I stand corrected it's Black Lightning must have had Magic in my head. by amberwolf » May 11 2020 10:31am ZeroEm wrote: ↑May 11 2020 9:09am The leafmotor from leafbikes Called "black magic" comes with 3mm phase wires, between 8-9 gauge awg Which gauge converter are you using?

by cheeko » May 11 2020 6:33am Hi all you lovely people. I'm thinking downgrading my Mxus 3k no issue it's great and quick but I want to ride more without only motor help so thought leaf 35mm with 5 or 6. Less hassle with frame and brakes. Now what are people recommendations Current battery:- 20S7P...

Bet them 36" wheels are smooth. just a thought.

Last year "2019" bought two 7T leafmotors (front and Rear)to lace into 29" wheels and ran at 72v. Ended up lacing the rear motor in to 26" wheel top speed 53 kph / 31 mph. This year I gave the front motor to my brother laced into a 29" wheel ran at 36v. His old battery top speed was 17 mph, he mount...

by LexHammer » May 06 2020 2:57pm More is welcome :) What about the visibility, everybody is talking about. You had any problems with cars not seeing you? Visibility: People drive crazy in my town and die on the freeways every week. I feel safer on my trike, not that I am safer but don't have to mi...

Well if you are not scared off yet! by LexHammer » May 05 2020 1:16pm 72v45Ah battery, for long range travel. But recently i saw recumbent trikes and i love the idea of comfort and low air drag + alot of space for battery, so now thinking of building electric recumbent trike from KMX Typhoon F8. 2. ...

I run a 2019 7T leafmotor at 72v, top speed 31 mph with Grinfineon 40A. It has been great for me but now would have went with the 6T in a 26" wheel just under 40 mph.

That's the build would like to do for my second trike; fun trike, race trike, danger trike :shock: Have not read or talked to people riding very far at 40 - 50 mph. Might be that riding in traffic on a trike is dangerous, you are below the windows and line of site. Most of us use Flags and lights to...

Should have moved North when I was young. Sounds nice up there.

That maple syrup sounds good

It's ><US dollar 1.50 for a U.S. Gallon here in San Antonio. Don't buy it myself just look at a sign while biking by.

Yes, motors are a good price but shipping is crazy.

Edit: If you decide to get a leafmotor you can pick the winding you want but I would do some reading on it and use the motor simulator. Get a motor that best matches your battery and top speed.

Were you able to return the 1200w motor. If not and you are on a Budget why not test the hall sensors in the motor and see if it can be fix, just a thought.

I'm excited about your project, if you have time do a build thread so we can follow along.

Are you doing something similar to the BYU electric streamliner?

Just worry about the insulation on higher voltage. Not sure i'm ready for the expense yet.
Think the QS 205 would do 50-60 mph on the next trike might need to do some areo mods.

The ones I read up on that fix them, had a machine shop cut them a new Axle.

"looked like a fool" no fools here only students of fun!

by Rassy » Mar 31 2020 2:07pm There was a mention about cambered rear wheels to help with cornering. My current trikes are both Sun Delta X3-AX models, which have cambered rear wheels. It does help with cornering, but it doesn't prevent tipping. Never tipped over, but have raised the inside wheel o...

Looking at the QS 205 specs it's rated up to 96v anyone running that voltage? i'm running a leafmotor at the moment have not maxed it out yet. But i'm looking for my next motor and been looking hard at the QS 205 - 273. Following this topic MadRhino sales the 205 quite well. So how fast is it? Would...

We were running above average temps until the shutdown. The we went into below average now it is just nice weather. Last few years it was above average this time of the years. Odd is it not.

Don't need off road traction, slick tires are my forte. My trikes frame would not take off road. So street/road tires for me.

Good to know. was not after speed from the start. Have learned that don't need a slow under powered E-bike to get distance.

It has taken me a while to get used to my direct steer trike so looking at 45-50 mph now. 90% of my riding will still be under 20 mph.
So good wheel builds and tires.

Have not had any damage to the rim or any broken spokes yet! Tighten them once back 1000 miles or so. My lack of problems is credit to everyone here at ES. Read what people recommended like everyone replying to me and have had a great time. Did not worry about the rim but now I will think about it w...

I'm getting ready to try a different motor in my 26" wheel. I put in Grinn's Sapim Strong 13-14g Butted Spokes in a 26" DM24 Alex Black Rim, 36 hole, 32mm Wide. Have had no issues. I did not coat the motors spoke holes and it is rusting in the holes. I am worried about reusing the spokes. I know som...
