Like Madrhino I dream about a tilting trike with suspension, this is the latest one I have been thinking about. http://www.tripod-bikes.com/?lang=2 I got rid of my Sun tadpole after rolling it a couple of times.

I have cable and U locks but feel insecure having seen videos of thieves stealing bikes secured this way. I noticed my son-in-law using a disc lock on the rear disc of his motor bike and thought this would be good for a bicycle lock if I could find a small one...

This seems to be a possible supplier for reasonable battery. It is on Ali but the company accepts PayPal. The battery I am interested in is 36v 15Ah, run 2 in series for 72v and the packs are a usable size. Maximum continuous discharge 3C. I have not contacted them yet, just wanted to see if...

I would definitely be interested in 16 pouches/cells. You mentioned that your supplier is a vendor/pack builder, perhaps it is is possible that he may supply assembled packs. Thank you for all your efforts John.

Hi GP, If you don't want the complexity of Lipo I would also recommend A123 from Cellman. I had a Sun tadpole trike which I recently sold, loved the concept but my back could not take the pounding of no suspension and it is much harder to dodge pot holes with three wheels. The FN-Trike looks...

I have a Powerpack motor which has a shaft that is "D" drive for the Matex planetary speed reducer, and I would like to try direct chain drive to an Sram dual drive hub. There is not much shaft available to mount a chain drive sprocket and a one way bearing, would it be possible to press out the...

I am a little confused (not unsual), you start off talking about an X5 and end reffering to a BMC.

http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3348&p=48700&hilit=+dom#p48700 I think you will find these pics interesting, the motor is mounted under the downtube leaving the frame open for batteries. Barrie

These guys have a good range of Schwalbe products and their prices are not bad. http://www.everybicycletire.com/ Luck with your search... Barrie

Ditto on your request, I have been using your method and yes, it is tedious, also the wires sometimes pull out when disassembling, so I have been soldering as well. A good crimper would make this much easier. Barrie

The 2nd looks like a comfortable ride, when not flipping :shock: FS with Big Apples should smooth out the bumps in an almost unbeatable way. Bet your thinking up ideas for 3rd. I did a similar build with a Rocky Mountain Element, 9C 9x7 72V sensorless Lyen controller and know what you mean...

I ordered two 48V packs from this group buy and have received nothing but excuses, so my $800+ is swinging in the wind. The unfortunate consequence is that I will probably never benefit from another group buy, such as Frodus's excellent organizational skills produced, because I will be afraid of...

Thanks for the replies, now all is revealed ;>) Barrie

I have two E-bikeKit 9C rear motors, one is the 10*6 winding, the other is 6*10 and both have the stock E-bikeKit controllers on which I have soldered the shunts. The 10*6 is in a 26" wheel which gives no regen, the 6*10 winding is in a 20" wheel and gives regen when going down hill at over...

Thanks Olaf, I reconfigured my setup to one 10AH battery and went for a run this morning making sure to ride the steepest hills in my area and pulled 35A with no problems or cut outs of the BMS.
