To me a jug is an open-topped container you put drinking stuff in - water, juice etc - and used for serving out into glasses/cups/mugs. Usually around 1 to 2L :D I'm Australian. Never heard of it being used regarding fuel containers, but it seems you just have a wider interpretation: jug =...

No problem. I notice you've called the green battery housing a 'jug', so just in case there is confusion you would probably call it a gasoline container in the US? Over here (and probably there) the green is meant to indicate 2 stroke fuel/gas - to most people anyway :wink: The overall weight...

In an ealier thread I said I'd document the push trailer I've built, and this is it. :) I wanted a push trailer as it is moveable between bikes and easily disconnectable. Its main purpose is to assist in commuting to work, a 24km trip each way (48km per day). I got inspiration for my design...

Aside from the Proflex, they all look like they are decent full suspension frames. I haven't heard of Motobecane, but it looks alright. The K2 looks like it might be a light XC style. The rest are known big names.

G'day, don't seem to be many from Brisbane here. I'm on the southside, right next to Daisy Hill state forest where I do most of my riding. Bikes all MTB - Giant AC 6" dually, Avanti agressor hardtail, old rigid raleigh converted singlespeed, Diamondback - rigid, plus other frames and bits and...

Ebay already has that facility! On the feedback page just click on the number of negatives and only the negative feedback will be shown!

Looks good :) How stable is the pod - does it resonate/wobble side to side at all? I've just made up an electric pusher trailer myself, and it was harder than I expected. Due to some stability issues (towing behind normal bike) I had to stiffen and lengthen it and now it weighs heaps :(...

Anyone know where I can find & test ride a tadpole style trike here in SE QLD? Once I get the first elec bike sorted, I'm thinking of buying and electrifying a taddy. :D Something a little better than 250W too I hope 8) Better ride some first - might hate the things :lol: I've noticed a...

I wouldn't have worked this out without the great info here. I spent some time reading the phase/hall wiring combination threads (and related). Its a pity it worked straight out of the box - with the wire colours matching. It meant I thought it was right, without trying other combinations. I've...

That's fine - nothing broken and hopefully problem solved (haven't yet taken it out riding - been raining :x ). To an experienced E-biker, perhaps it would have been noticeable. To a first timer it seemed great - took off from start fine and reached and held 26-27km/hr easily enough. It was...

I've just being playing with phase and hall sensor configurations. I've found one that uses only 1 amp full throttle, no load! :D Appears as though I'm lucky to still have a working controller given how it was! Amazing thing is that the old config, that used 8 amps no load, ran fine. Just...

I noticed the controller got quite hot (but not untoucheable) with the drive wheel at full speed under no load (well, just the 26" rim and tyre spinning in air). So, before forgetting about this heat issue I have done one last check. Current under no load conditions, at full throttle, is just...

Thanks. Yes, it is summer here and fairly hot - Brisbane, Australia. The controller stayed untouchably hot for probably 5 minutes (after stopping), which is what has me concerned. I was thinking along the lines that the motor and its small wiring might be providing higher electrical resistance...

My controller, after 10-15mins or so of riding (the longest I've done so far), is getting rather hot. I can't hold my hand/finger on it for any longer than 1-2 seconds. It still works, but I'm concerned something is going to go up in smoke soon. My system is as follows: - 36V 15Ahr Ping...
