Great! Let us know how it goes...

Honestly you don't need 8 speeds and I'm not sure if a Nexus would handle 750lbs. Seems like more problems in the future, possibly. The Brute should handle but it is going to want a lot of pedaling from a stop. It's going to want all 60amps everytime your starting out, gaining momentum. Also you...

20" or 24" wheel in the rear...small unicycle crankset...existing motor.

Dual Cutes on a solid steel cruiser frame would be fun, 22amp continuous for each and a 50amp continuous 48-52v battery. Top speed would be similar but off the line and hills would be impressive. Over 30mph and the wind drag is intense, especially sitting upright. Batteries get bigger for that...

I've had that issue from wiring, shorting out/disconnected hall wire at connector and Phase wires entering the axle...1 in 5 times it has actually been mechanical yet the symptoms usually all sound mechanical. When it was mechanical, it was a growl, slip or intermittent low power.

OP, Im thrilled with my Rover, I'm a big guy too(6'1",280lbs). I thought BBSHD too at first and I may still try it but in the meantime I laced a BMC Torque geared hub(like a MAC 10T) in a stock terratrike rim. I love it! I'm heavy and like cargo so the torque is a must for me as well as climbing...

etrike, Im currently extending a Rover, with custom welded parts. I'll do a build thread soon. Is there a potential welded brace I could do to the crucifix since Im adulterating the frame anyway? Is it the smaller(rear) tube everytime or does the larger tube separate as well...Any ideas? I...

Schwalbes....Crazy Bob rear, Dureme front....Everyone raves about Big Apples but when I discovered Bobs, I was forever hooked, plus I install them with sunlite thorn resistant tubes. I maybe get 2 flats a year at most..... They're listed in the eBike section on Schwalbes' website and they have...

In all it's glory!

Loaded up...

I built an old growth redwood rack to fit 3 standard catering bags...

I"m a little late to the thread but... Sun Atlas Cargo Front BMC Torque Motor Lyen 12fet controller

Hi, I've been pretty quiet so far and I've just moved back to the Bay from Sonoma county....I'm gonna do a bunch of picture/build threads soon but I just wanted to see who here on the Sphere hangs out together...any public meets? and can we put together a charging map...I'm willing to scout and...

Those look awesome! I had a thought of using a cafe racer style nose fairing with round HID headlight and just have the stem pop out/behind the top, then a short zzipper style windshield above that.....the bottom curve of these eBay ones would work perfectly for my idea..... The upside down...
