Many if not most small tool/boxes will werq well and they can be inexpensive. A bit of silicone can seal places that need it and wires run from the bottom will not need a full seal. Many panniers and rear rack packs will werq as well The material is water resistant on most and you can spray...

Might not have to cut and re-splice to get the torque arm or nut on as often (not always) the connectors come out of the plug by bending a little tab on the terminal flat and then pulling the wire free of the plug. The tabs can be bent back out and wires put back in the plug assembly once they...

Have not been around much lately so I come back to see what's up and this is the first post I read. OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! That is nasty for sure. I don't do wheelies I am to old and beatr up to want to even try. Do nothing like the docs say and when you start out again do it slow and easy so you...

The motor cut off actuated by a brake switch is great and has saved me in a full throttle situation a couple of times. It cuts the motor when you brake so you don’t throttle up and brake at same time so saves damage to geared motors as well as wear and tear on other systems. It is also a...

I thought that all the throttle cut offs just dropped the throttle until you released the brake. Mine located in the controller is the same as yours. I have a throttle that locks on as well so I have to be careful to remember once I hit the brake to unlatch the throttle before I release the...

I use PayPal whenever I can and that has been plenty over the many years it has been around. Got my money back twice cuz things did not arrive so I am several hundred dollars thankful for them. The 3% I paid to sell things was not that big of a deal. Nobody ever lied about the receipt or shape...

I put my controller under the seat wires down and the throttle, remote cable operated, in my battery bag. Lots of rain in Portland no troubles yet. Then again it is parked inside, in the living room or in the facilities maintenance shop at werq out of the weather, when not on the road. Camera...

Rear brake will make you skid you can usually recover. Touch the front brake even a little when it's slick and you can be down before you know what's going on. Things you just don't do while on two wheels when you are entering or on a slick spot are change direction, decelerate, accelerate or...

This is the way I see it 1- If your motor, controller and battery pack are not overly hot you are not wasting much of anything. But you pay in energy consumption at speeds much over 20MPH because of aerodynamic drag and pay again in rapid acceleration from a stop or just accelerating...

Most paniers have a U shaped hook that needs to be attached to your rear rack to hang the paniers from. The Topeak rack bags, in their stock form, make it difficult to fit the U shaped hanger for the paniers as the plastic mounting assembly for the bag to slide on and off obscures that space...

Sorry have not been here in a while. The light is the old original Magicshine from some years back. It like most of the bike lights is 8.4 volts. There are a few out now that have DC-DC converters included in the drivers so will take more voltage. Yes, most things are exaggerated majorly by...

For 25-30MPH I am happy with the 3-5 T6 XM-L units and think they are fine for my use but if you don't then buy 2 they are cheap. A piece of plastic, I used some thin carbon fiber cuz I had it, made into a visor with some aluminum foil glued underneath will point the light that goes into the...

Yup, I hate the five mode stuff and have found some three mode drivers for my flashlights while looking for single mode on/off with lower voltages to do 940nm IR stuff. I tried to mod one, some are easy but had no luck with this one it does not werq the way I thought. I have not even thought...

I have a bit of experience with these lights myself. Usually pressing the switch in halfway will change modes and yes 5 mode lights, which most are, are a pain. The best thing about the 5 modes is when you turn it off it toggles to the next setting when you turn it back on so you constantly...

Lots of good information here nice to see it that way. I run the Weinmann 26inch pinned rims with disk brakes as well and have 10K+ at mostly 25-30MPH on them. Have some Ryhno Lites just waiting as well. Had a shop build the first wheel and after the mess I saw learned to do it myself. Most...
