''The lead sled'' yuba mundo long-tail cargo bike 3000w chinese motor 30a controller 60a max 72v flooded lead acid batteries Brakes? What are those?

Thanks for the vote of confidence :P Yeah I get the idea, lol, but it isn't a typicaly build of somebody just wanting to make a toy that goes fast. Its main design is a heavy hauler. But yeah I agree its comical :lol: I will check out the headways, but at 10ah it would make balancing...

Ok after everybody said don't go lead acid I did some more research and I think you convinced me. I looked into charging lithium with solar more deeply and with the help of a bms like this one: http://www.gamberbms.com/index.php I should be able to charge the lithium and not have to worry with...

Cool then I shouldn't have a problem other than spoke calc

I would use 12 ga but they are too small for rim

I was thinking of running 18 or 19in motorcycle rims. Problem is they take a 10 gauge spoke and the hub takes a 12 gauge. I just visited my LBS and he actually had a motorcycle rim he was working on lacing it with 11 gauge spokes. Nipples fit fine because the rim is dimpled. Coincidence I...

It seems like everyone uses 12-14 gauge on the bicycle rims. The motorcycle rims I have found accept 10 gauge. Maybe I can somehow make 11 gauge work in both the motor and the motorcycle rim?? Anyone have any experience doing something like this?? I found this tire seemed to be of interest to...

Hey I could fit motorcycle rims... How large of spoke can I fit (with drilling if need be) on a ht3525 crystlyte?

Good idea, but its just not the same. I would love to have the whole house on solar. one day....

Well now I just have to get to work. I am waiting on the new fork to come in and the other fat tire parts. I still need to get a crystalyte hs3525 and 40a controller. Im thinking of just buying it new from http://www.ebikedeal.com/crystalyte.htm unless somebody had something they wanted to...

NO worries lol :lol: I really only want to go 20-22 anyway because I need to be a 'legal' build. FL dictates 20 mph but there is no watt or electric hp limit :mrgreen: And I will have a couple hundred lb payload not even counting the batteries or me just with my packages. So I do want to...

Yeah I was able to find one of your threads on the homemade longtail. I wish I could navigate es better to find stuff like that. Theres so much cool stuff already done that I wish I could find easier. That thing is awesome! So what kind of top speed were you hitting with that 40a controller...

dogman are you talking with experience from another mundo or a different long tail? Just curious...I looked at like the big dummy and extra-cycle and the mundo just seemed like the best option for me. It definitely appeared to be the strongest frame design. And I was going to buy whatever was...

I think the trailer is the best way to go. I don't think it will take too much work to mount a hitch receiver to the Yuba for the yard trailer. The main problem I see is placing the height just right to work out the tongue weight. Thanks for the advice! I agree the frame is going to flex...
