How many miles a year will you be driving? I have ford transit high top (9'2" high) 3.5 ecoboost, get dismal mpg above 68 mph, 19 mpg if you keep it around 65 ish. Buy a used mid height and high top long and convert it. Look up Orton, my brother from a diff mother online, for build ideas. If...

Ouch, sorry to hear about your accident, praying for fast recovery.

Best of breed is the motto I follow when buying stuff I want to keep. My oldest vehicle now is a 2007, I bought new. I still have it. Ebikes on the other hand, I would find a value (cheap) make/model that uses regular OTS controller, and other stuff. So when a part breaks, one can pick it up...

maybe a thick alu plate attached to the bottle holder with the same screws, and then the controller heat sink in contact with said plate? PS: I have a been following this thread, just place my order, thanks to all who contributed!!!

I had to pause on the batt, I was tied up with coaching middle school tennis and few volunteer days running sailing races. Taking a break tomorrow to fish some small mouth bass. If any of you have your bms middle section some what intact, can you double check the 5 small pins in the middle and...

Op, look at @Barncat builds, I bought a welder to build one someday! awesome build. read read and read first.

Thanks, I think the one I bought off garamata is little shorter,

Morning from West Michigan, What is your seat height that seat and what is your rear shock length? I am getting ready to assemble one finally for my youngest D, she is 5-4 now.

How long did you short the 2 short blade pins for? I remember reading the TI whitepaper and it mentioned a delay. connect the 2 short blades and leave them connected and then press the batt level indicator switch, does it show a level? Also, before you start charge your batt to 53v first...
