    Hyena's e-bike builds (now with HD video)

    Mmmm. I like. I like. 2000W sounds like a lot to me considering what I'm used to! Nice and stealthy esp with the obligatory 200W sticker. Will watch with interest.

    Hyena's e-bike builds (now with HD video)

    If your balance is a little wonky, you could always pick up one of these and modify it... A frock motor in the back, a few turnigy packs could be built into a nice body-support platform to lie on (heck if you were draining them a bit too hard they'd double as a warming solution for those cold...

    Jay, That was a great video. Really sorry to hear about the cancer. Best wishes for you, Mrs Hyena and the little ones. C.

    Talking about races... Whatever happened to the Ebike vs Train race? Can we assume that you LOST and are too ashamed to post the results? C.

    Hyena's e-bike builds (now with HD video)

    The kid's feet strap into the pedals on the wee hoo and I think that a 2 year old could fit in it - but it is a problem that it can't take two kids. I found that now that my boy is 3 and nearly 4 he's finding it a bit tiresome just sitting on the seat on the back of my bike. I did the...

    Hey Hyena, If you're thinking of a trailer for a 2.5 year old have a look at the Wee hoo Igo. You can hire them at Bicentennial Park off Australia Ave at Homebush to try them out. My three year-old has never had so much fun on a bike. He kept yelling "faster please daddy, faster please daddy"...

    +1 I had some guy threaten me in Frenchs Forest - claiming that I was lucky that he didn't bring his shotgun with him! And he was the dickhead that cut me off! I should have expected it, he was driving a black merc C200. It's better to be silently on the moral high ground and alive than feel...

    LiPo battery care and basic information

    Thanks very much Neptronix. That's really helpful and informative! Another HK order for me!

    It took me a lot longer to fit my kit to my bike. It was a front wheel hub too so I'd expect that the quoted time seems reasonable especially as the Hadron is a rear wheel. Maybe Hyena can tell you how long it takes him to fit one? Cachexian.

    LiPo battery care and basic information

    Hi Auraslip, Neptronix, Can you please give me a quick run down of how you solder the pack wires to the bullet connectors that you recommend. I'd just got my head around how to do andersons and was about to order some but now it seems that these gold connectors are better. Thanks, Cachexian.

    Hyena's e-bike builds (now with HD video)

    Yeah. I've got the explorer rack so it attaches to the bike frame in four places. And I'm well within the load limit. Go figure! Sydney roads are rubbish full of potholes etc and since this is my commuter bike I'm constantly riding up and down kerbs onto bike paths etc. When you do that over...

    INSPIRED BY DUCT TAPE! Went out for early morning ride today and, what do you know, the bolt securing my Topeak rack sheared off! :shock: Crap! Couldn't fix that with my spare bolts. :( Well I thought of Hyena's bike and tootled down to the local petrol station and got some tape and taped...

    Noob advice S Bafang Overvolt

    Yes. My controller is the limiting factor. The Ecrazyman controller you have outputs 25A peak. Mine has 15A peak. That's the difference. I get max 30kph unloaded (wheel off ground) and 25kph on flat with me on the bike. :(

    Noob advice S Bafang Overvolt

    So, it sounds as though the motor can take the extra volts. Whether the controller can remains to be seen. But I guess if it does kill the controller, I can always get another one. The Ecrazyman ones don't seem to be too expensive. I think that I will order 2 3s 5ah Lipo packs. That way I can...
