FYI My Ride is still running a decade later with the eBikeKit.com setup! Today I finally blew 2 of my 4 22v Turnigy Packs and decided to change up my power system. Lightening it up to a 2 x 10S 4500 37v Zippy Packs in parallel. With older age comes shorter trail rides so I really dont need...

The e-bikekit is still running strong. With the NRS I do notice increased frame flex on dirt hills when Im pedaling up w/assist. You may want to take a look at the geared hubs to save on weight. As for which manufacturer to go with I can not speak for amp... e-bikekits was very complete and...

I would have loved to be able to cram in 2 6S1P packs Side-by-Side for a 66V10AH configuration but alas the bag is too narrow. The Hi-powerCycles short frame bag doesn't appear to handle anything much wider than a 6S1P & 3S1P side-by-side.

HI-POWERCYCLES "SHORT" FRAME BAG INSTALL COMPLETE. Stuffed to the brim with 15S2P 10AH 55.5V 4 22.2v + 2 11.1V Lipo Packs. The Rear Shock was just touching and didnt want to risk lipo puncture so I use one of the rear straps to pull the bag Upward. Initial tests are good! The frame bag...

Ewwww, I did consider that and started looking for the roll of black stuff I have arround someplace but I'm Sorry, Duct Tape will be my Last resort. It's just Sooooooo Ghetto looking! :wink:

*SIGH* your all right.... Whatever a manufacturer quotes for weight handling should be cut by 8th! 7-10lbs of Lipos dropping 1 foot turns into 20lbs on impact! Since the NRS1 has a straight top tube, I went ahead and ordered a 99 :shock: short(for FS bikes) frame bag from Hi-Power Cycles...

WARNING!!! The DynaPack WILL NOT WORK for E-Bikes. After 2 weeks the aluminum ring itself has fatigued and is starting to SAG towards the wheel! :shock: It may be fine for casual street riding at 36V but NOT FOR OFF ROAD "AT ALL". Really sucks, because I liked how it didnt stick to far...

Had a little mishap today 8miles in with the Dyna pack. Apparently the REAR reflector flap not pictured here was NOT FASTENED. The Velcro gave way and the pack fell into the tire...

That looks great, would defiantly apply to any 4pivot design.. I really like the Adjustable aspect of it. When my Lyen 12F comes in I'll be shamelessly plagiarizing your work.... :wink:

Interesting idea...... I have a blacksmith near my work, I can probably show him this picture and see what he can do. If I can find a machine shop, I bet I can get a plate crafted that SITS in the exposed triangles. :mrgreen: Then I only need to use the single shaft bolt, and the torque...

I'll try to do a longer dirt ride this weekend but the e-bikekit controller has a 22A limiter so the batteries last much longer than my wifes ebay 500w controller..... I took a quick 5mile ride around my area (4mi city 1mi dirt), brought the bike into work and let the guys here play with it for...

Thanks jlustig83, its not too bad having the torque arm pointing downward like this then. :oops: If it went the other way I'd probably be in big trouble. :(

I did some casual hard pack here in California and didnt notice the extra rear weight much until I did the occasional mini jump. The Extra 12lbs of rim was interesting and I'll need to tighten up these spokes.... Odd but the landings seamed softer? Probably me being more careful(I'll need to...

The DynaPack is lighter/shorter than traditional rear seat racks. Once my local trails dry back up, I'll let you know how this fat arse mod effects my riding.... 12S2P 10AH! I had to pick up 4 packs of metal washers at Home Depot. I'm still half a washer away from true center. Maybe I...

Stumbled on a TOPEAK-DynaPack! ($39-59) They can Easily support my 12S2P and "Maybe" my 18S2P... It's small and rated for a 10lb capacity (Turnigy 12S2P 10AH pack is under 7lbs). I dont trust the plastic quick release so'll I'll probably be adding some Velcro supports (maybe some DucTape...
