The De Minimus was only revoked for China (and Hong Kong) so under $800 it there would be no customs charges.

"Choice" is aliexpress thing where if you order over $10 or whatever you get free shipping and they combine all the items from multiple sellers into once package to save shipping. You can see items tagged as "choice" or filter by it. You also noticed that when in the cart and at checkout they...

From what I've heard aliexpress choice items have the customs fees included which can you tell because they are more expensive than they used to be. I placed an order awhile ago and seems to be through customs fine so we'll see.

When factoring the speed you just need 3 things in this case, the motor KV (62), the voltage, and some idea of the motor's operating speed based on it's design and controller. For more basic brushless motors with no field weakening it would be voltage times KV is the motor's freespeed so that's...

So more or less I agree but it's a matter of degrees (pun intended), I want my bike to be slacker than a touring bike but to a point and I think some modern bikes are past that point. They would be too extreme for the terrain I ride which is often very tight and technical and at low speed. Wish...

I've seen cells like 27.6v 40ah 1104Wh LTO Toshiba SCiB 20,000 cycles! 24x 20ah Cells which bulky for sure but should be of good quality and easier to assemble than lots of cylindrical cells.

I don't exactly get what the problem with the geometry is, it's mountain bike geometry with the presumed function you'll ride it on mountain bike terrain. Yeah it's less than ideal on the road, so is a road bike on a DH track. But I am curious Chalo what specific parts of the geometry you would...

Honestly I think I mostly wealth inequality, the internet, modern media and modern culture. And I don't think those are necessarily down to things like division, people have been strongly divided since we were apes but I think there are some particular wedges that politicians have figured out...

Yeah I was trying to think of what rules would make sense and I had some but it's hard. Some are easy and probably overlap with general rules, no personal attacks or general insults to any group in general. I feel like insulting politicians is impossible to stop, they just make it too easy...

Yeah I think moving into a off-topic and only banning those who go too far is ideal. Honestly I think constructive talking about politics by reasonable individuals who are debating in good faith is a good thing, honestly more of that would prevent the extreme side taking and echo chamber...

I use MG chemicals silicone modified conformal coating, the stuff in the bottle with brush is easier to use than the spray and you can use a UV light to see if you missed anywhere. You can program and update the firmware over bluetooth with the phone app but the desktop app is nicer to use and...

I think in the context of a any moderately sized or large hub motor I want it clamped down real solidly regardless if I use regen or not (I do for 95% of my braking). But like I just threw whatever torque on there and eh it's good enough if I don't use regen doesn't sound great to me considering...

The way I normally waterproof VESCs like this is by first open the case and conformal coat everything then when reassembling the case I silicone the two halves together and around the power wires. Then I 3D print a cover with a gasket that seals the whole top and has space for all my wire...

Any VESC can work with a bluetooth module, some have it built in. Honestly though I would buy a spintend or a MakerX which are only very slightly more expensive and much better made. As many have experienced the flipsky VESCs do work but not always well so can be down to luck if you just plug...

I mean kinda depends on various factors, how much current are we talking, how big are the wires, how waterproof does it need to be. The best way and honestly it's pretty easy once you do it a few times is a quality butt crimp connector that is well crimped. And those depend on how much current...
