Hey Bob, Apparently I can save a ton of weight just redoing the wheels (over 15 pounds each!), but at the end of the day, I think I'd rather have it built more like a motorcycle than like a bicycle. At 48V, I don't notice the weight.

Oops - didn't mean to file this post in the For Sale Section. I think I'll copy the post to the proper section. Thanks to the admin who moved this!

Just thought I'd do a quick post on my latest build. While I was waiting for my son's Sondors to arrive, I got jealous and finally built a replacement for my tried-and-true Montegue Folder (with an original Currie USPD drive in case you are wondering how long I've been eBiking) ;-) The new...

Thanks - I'll confirm that I've got clearance.

Thanks Fletcher and Link: I haven't noticed any relationship between road conditions, riding conditions, or throttle position. So far it just seem random. I think I did hook up the brake control to the CycleAnalyst (its not connected to my brakes)... maybe there is a short in that connection...

I'm running a Crystalyte controller with a stock USPD thumb throttle (I do not know what type of throttle it is, because I've never had an issue with it). I also have a Cylce Anaylst. Over the last couple of weeks, I have been experiencing intermiddent dead-spots. Not necessarily in the...

Congrats! Awesome voyage!
