I've had a couple more days to ride it, and I still think it's kind of a dog... just comparing it to my experience with way-overpowered gas motorcycles it's quite lazy with the stock setup. Still, it's extremely fun in dirt, and easy to ride compared to something with a clutch and twice the...

Just picked up a Sur Ron, got delivered yesterday. Rode it around a bit today, and boy in the stock configuration this thing is a dog. I was definitely expecting a bit more power. That said, I've ordered an ASI BAC4000 from ERT... not sure when it will show up, hopefully soon. I will still have...

You would be surprised about the throttle response. My 'daily driver' is a Ducati Multistrada 1200S, and while it's definitely way faster (150hp vs something like 12hp) , dealing with RPM matching and clutch on an ICE vs the near-instant torque from even a substantially less powerful electric...

I understand that. To the credit of Qulbix, I'm near Boston, MA and I commute into the city on the q76r. About a year and a half now and I've had no negative attention whatsoever (though LOTS of people ask me what it is when I'm stopped :wink: ). Hopefully you have the same experience with the...

Subbed, that looks like a pretty bike. I have a custom build based on a q76r (with a mxus rear hub motor pushing about 6kw) which is a fantastic machine and the qulbix frame has stood up to quite a bit, but I do admit that these mid drive setups are very, very interesting. I originally had...

"Here it is laid in the frame. You can see the BMS is going to require the side panel to be bulged out a bit. Time for mallet and sandbag." lol. My BMS also extended slightly past where the side pieces could close. While searching for a solution I found a roll of rubber floor mat at home depot...

Much thanks to LightningRods and PowerVelocity, Mike and Vad have both been exceptionally helpful and provided most of everything I needed to get this build done. I've provided one teaser photo here but I took more photos of the build process- https://photos.app.goo.gl/tujEpN4Z2JndETr32 I...

Great info. I think I'm going to -risk- bicycle rims to take advantage of the much lighter wheels I can build. If I end up needing to put moto rims on it in the future... meh, it's much cheaper than the dang battery :-) I love Shinkos, I used to run Shinkos on my Honda VFR, though I've been...

How heavy are the wheel and rim together? My build is going to be a swingarm / mid drive, so I won't need to worry about quite as much weight in the rear wheel, but I still haven't really settled on whether I want to go with 26" bicycle wheels with 3" tires, or 19" moto rims with something like...

Hey sailah, subbing. I just received my own 76r in the mail today, and haven't had time to do ANY assembly yet. Do you know what you're planning to do for a battery? Nice shop!

It's a neat idea, but as far as I know wouldn't work. Regenerative motors are direct drive and would be impractical to install in a bicycle, and building what is essentially an alternator would be pretty inefficient...

The EEB looks great, but it's the 140mm width and the heavier 10kgs... ugh, decisions. It'd save quite a bit of dosh over the Qulbix. You have swingarm kits that will fit the EEB now? Maybe I'll do a build with the EEB and if I fall in love, which I don't doubt I will, transfer it to a 76r at...

Going to place an order this week, and then I'll need a quote from you! I think I'll also take a crack at building a battery for the frame, though it does require some up front purchases. I think it will pay for itself in the long run as I plan to stick with ebikes. I see also that the frame is...

Holy crud, I just read back a few pages and saw the qulbix swingarm motor... I think I know what I'm getting. Anyone know exactly who I should talk to about purchasing a Qulbix 76r in the states? Does the manufacturer ship here? Eh, I'll figure it out. Edit: Also saw your interest in building...

Amen, I 100% agree. This is why I'm going to build something new, because not being able to do 35-40 means that I cannot guarantee I can go as fast as traffic on the roads I'm on, and not being able to go faster means I can't get away from bad drivers. Most of the time it's not an issue, but...
