I used a 100T chainring when I did my 1x9 conversion. It worked really well, but I do not like the weight in the back wheel anymore. In the meantime I have bought a mid-drive Qulbix and will be working on a change of the double chains. I tend to ride quite fast and I cannot pedal more than...

Received 100+ cells from Michal (I am in the US) :thumb: Working great!

I was looking at the Heidenau's as well. The 20 inch size stopped me: not too much choice of rims.

ok, got it sorted out now: the controller was cutting off at 52V (undercurrent). I have increased the battery size to 26S6P and now it works very well. The power is insane (150NM torque), which meant that I did an uncontrolled wheelie at around 20kmh. Still recovering from the bruises, but very...

I chose 1.85", so that I can use the Tubliss system. They have around 10% weight penalty. I love the cornering on the Conti KKS10 (2.5") The dual use Shinkos (2.75") were in my opinion horrible for cornering on the street.

I also ride in a very puncture rich area. Here my current findings: going from bicycle to MC tires helped a bit, but not too much. The typical thing over here are nails, construction staples, screws and bolts. If you want to be 100% puncture proof, you could try mousse in MC tires. Rolling...

My conversion has been taking longer than expected. First I fried a Cycle Analyst and bought a replacement. Then I decided to keep the dirt tire on the old wheel and built up a new wheel with new 5KW motor, including statoraid and hubsinks. The dropout needed to be increased to 150mm, hence I...

Thank you for the feedback. I didn't like the rolling resistance on the 244s, but am happy with the Continental KKS 10. Low rolling resistance and much better cornering on the road. I buy the tubeless kits on Ebay. Just search for Tubliss. You need the full kit to start with for around 90 USD...

here my findings: 1) reducing the pressure made things worse. On top of the bouncing it induced some wobbling as well. Reduced range with reduced pressure 2) the bead was sitting perfectly 3) I bought some wheel weights and needed to add almost 6 ounces ! (ca. 150grams) No more bouncing...

Oh that explains a lot. I should have known before. It was hard to fit almost 4" when you think you are getting 3. I will check the bead once more, although I did already when mounting. That has been a common issue for as well. Thx

here an update on my conversion to 19": First of all the Excel Takasago 19" rims are way easier to true than the "porky" Chinese ones. I did a weight comparison as well: 26" MTB 1640 grams (with brake disk) 21" Motorcycle 5850 grams (no brake disk) 19" Moped 4650 grams (no brake disk) here a...

I will keep you posted on the VIN. Need to get all the motorcycle lights set up first and the relays.

this is what it looks like right now. I will be working on the motorbike conversion some more.

So I installed a simple fairing yesterday and tested it today. My top speed, which had been hovering around 67kmh went up to 75.8 !!! All of that with a little piece of plastic...

Thank you for the explanation. I got my normal car registered in the Scottsdale DMV, so I know that location as well. The e-car which I am building has a base kit from the UK. They have already sold around 100 of them in the US (with gas engines). None of their equipment has got a DOT...
