Yep its all clean now, our battery have drain holes and the kelly controllers have waterproofed connectors. Things can happen tho !

The prototype LMX is still one of the coolest looking ebikes to date. Love the progress and all the videos. Keep it up! 8)
I based my latest build around Hope Mono6Ti 225mm front and back - because, well, 6 pistons are awesome and I too prefer rear braking vs lots of front fork dive.
Macribs is right, they are easy to find used. However, the mounts are NLA and need to contact Hope directly to have a custom batch made. And when I said I built my bike around the brakes, that meant using an older front fork. The reason is that 'IS->225mm' adapters exist and 242mm I think is only available with a 'boxer' or 'world cup' style post mount which only lasted a few years about a decade ago. There isn't any way to use them with a modern post mount fork. So I found an older Fox40 w/ an IS mount (2008'ish) and rebuilt it.

Thanks Nep, much apreciated. Also this project is not only my work but also work of Lucas on upping the fabrication quality

First time doing a video, so not sure it will work.
It's fun to see friends try ebikes for the first time. Most underestimate the touque and power...no matter how much pre-ride training you do.
My LMX is done. I am planning on doing a build thread one of these days.

Haha good one Joost, hope no one was hurt!
That kind of accident is the reason why we only use thumb trottles. We have been able to do good enduro rides with total noobs (with the girls too) with those throttle type
also we like how asfe they are on downhills.

That video is almost as good as lukes. I wasn't expecting that at all since she was creeping so slow. Thumb throttles are good until your a few miles into the ride, then im wanting my half twist back

That a great tip. I would eventually love to have a loaner bike set up that way.
I think I would have a hard time getting used to a thumb throttle. Swtching back and forth from the motocross gasser to the ebikes.
I also flip my brakes, so the front is on the right..muscle memory

Exemple of setup with the kelly style thumb throttle, quite confortable setup.

That thumb throttle does look pretty nice compared to the vertical ones I am familiar with. Still not sure if it will replace a half twist for me though

I wont show how we modded the motor, but we have approx 150 CM² of direct heat transfer area on the iron, and absolutely leak proof design.
Motor modif is pretty involved and takes about 2h all in. We were very happy that we noticed no difference in performance on the motor (kv, torque) after the mod.
We still have to optimise filling and temp expansion in the system to keep the system to go too high in pressure.
Continuous power is definitely much better!

having copper/brass radiator w/ aluminum in the loop will result in major galvanic corrosion
you might not need an air expansion chamber because of the low temps involved. the hoses have enough elasticity to deal w/ the small amount of expansion
look into organic-acid type anticorrosive/coolants i.e. "dexcool" types. these things last up to 10years in my car
certain hose materials are semi-permeable so you get water loss over time
