Exactly. I just bought a bike that fits the description here in So Cal for $200. If anybody wanted to pay me $150 to tool around on it for a couple weeks I would be thrilled to help them out. I guess that makes me an extremely generous and obliging person. :lol: I sure do have a few extra...

I am going to be in West River Maryland, east of DC/south of Annapolis for a couple of weeks in June. Wondering if anybody on the forum has a basic ebike I could rent during that time. I have a broken ankle and just need something to tool around town . . . basically a two-wheeled mobility...

PM sent for BMC

Rattlesnake canyon, what can go wrong? I'm a few amp-hours short of trying that mountain though Zip.

That was the ticket guys, thanks! I re-wired the hall and phase combos per the decoder above and now she's running strong. Guess I did score after all. Now I just need to decide on a project to use this setup with.

Ha, thanks for the warning. Safety third!

Update, just found this on Lyen's site. Looks like changing yellow/green could be the ticket, at least if my guess of this motor's uncertain lineage is correct. Not at home to try now but will give it a shot later and report back. From http://www.lyen.com/Manual/Color_Linings.htm: YesaUSA...

Thanks guys. Was thinking it could be the phase or hall combos. It's set up exactly like the other guy had it, but that's no guarantee they're right. He told me he thought he had a bad battery because he made it himself with 18650 cells and thinks he may have killed some cells soldering it...

Hey everybody, it's been years since I posted here but I've been lurking all along. Finally I have a question for the forum. Last week I saw an add on Craigslist: a zebra-striped DD hub, oldschool CA and 12-fet Lyen controller for $100. I didn't need any of those things, but I'm partial to...

If you want to fish, look into getting a fishing kayak. Most anglers prefer a sit-on-top kayak, which is easier to rig for fishing and to fish from. Look at Craigslist. You can get a decent used boat for the prices you're quoting.

What, no provincial Beer Store monopoly? Do they even have Tim Horton's?

The liquor store is on the left.

If my ES handle isn't a dead giveaway, I'll say it again: Beach cruisers make great conversions. That's doubly true if your main use is running errands around town rather than a long commute. The cruiser geometry is better suited to a motor-assisted vehicle than most other classes of...

So sorry to hear of your loss Amberwolf. Aching in my gut to think what you're going through. Sending love from California.

The wind doesn't directly turn the prop, but it provides all of the energy. It pushes the vehicle straight downwind, which causes the wheels to turn, which causes the prop to turn, which allows the prop to generate aerodynamic lift, which allows it to push the vehicle downwind faster than the...
