I can't see those pictures. Anyone else having trouble?skeetab5780 said:Few photos from yesterdays ride, i had hopes of trying to kill the battery but only managed 16 miles of the freezing cold weather.

It is thank you. The bike looks good, and looks better with the new adjustment.skeetab5780 said:Should be fixed now

Wondering where you are on the project? I'm rather new to all things electric and not experienced in bike repair, though always mechanically successfully at whatever I have jumped into. Pretty set on building my own E-Bike as market's limited and I really want to get my head around electrics.
I've learned a lot about electrics and bicycles over the past 5 days by reading ES for a 2-3 hours a day. Plan to disassemble and reassemble my trusty old Voo Doo Scandium 29er just to get a feel for the bike end of the project (toughest part as I perceive it now). I've also got a world-class bike shop nearby if I really had to fall back to some aid on that front.
Thinking to buy a really well made, close to top end battery from someone else (looks like welding - spot? - the backs is the way to go).
The Vector Lite/Storm seems to be the base I'm looking for, but I'm wondering about sizing. I'm 66" tall with rather minimalist sole shoes (everyday wear for me), 67 1/2" wingspan, 29 1/2" inseam. I see the frame settled down for you with the installation of the superior rear shock, but am still wondering if the frame will be well sized for me with a maximum suspension lowering setup? What do you think?
My aim is a high power burst potential bike that is still setup for 50-60 mile minimum top range (with peddling), a genuine motive power contributing peddle setup at cruising speeds, low-keyness, brake regen, and as light weight and nimble as possible to handle regular steep single trail downhills. I figure my weighing 145-150 lbs, even 140ish in summer, will help on all fronts.

What do you think of my frame-sizing build proposal query?
DriftTrike said:Hi, I really love following your build progress. You're a model for the rest of us Vector Light builders! I'm trying to figure out what derailleur cage length to buy. I'm running a 36T up front and I'm planning a 7 speed 11-32 freewheel in the rear. Was thinking about running a SRAM-x4 but I'm not sure if that will work.
Can you share your drivetrain specs?
