Disclaimer: At this point in my build I have my CA-3 set up to just provide the basics, I did that some time ago and I don’t have docs handy. That being said, to me it looks like you have the CA-3 set to go WOT at 0.86 Volts, which should be throttle low, which would explain the motor being...

Guilty...

Hey Kona -- You didn't mention, but have you tried hooking everything up sans CA?

Hi Kona — Merry Xmas back atcha! Nice one-stop data summery! I’ve also been deconstructing the power and drivetrain specs on LightningRods kit. Good job summarizing the published data as it stands (a spelling typo or two, but then everyone knows engineers can’t spell their own names half the...

Making a torque arm shouldn't be all that hard, it really just depends on your bike. One could attach a strut to the back of the upper sheet some distance from the down tube, use the down tube as the pivot point (not the best, but would work) and attach the other end to a solid midpoint some...

For what it’s worth. I read LightningRods long-view ‘At the End of the Day’ post yesterday, and from what I can tell he really nailed it on all points. Before I go any further, let me say that I like the L-R Mid-drive A LOT. I’ve been following the drive’s development on E-S since the...

Hi Dani -- Just wondering if you were finally able to independently OEM source the GNG / L-R motor. Seeing how I need to improve my machining skills and I want to do all the cool (and necessary) mods to the motor bearings and spindle, I figure I will need to destroy at least one before I get it...

OK, I’m more the EE dude then ME dude, but my understanding is that the water bottle mounting bosses are often ‘press fit’ into the frame; They are great at keeping a water bottle in place but they just aren’t designed to take any serious load, torsion or otherwise. Deformation of the down tube...

I've been following this thread from a distance for a while now... That's it: I'm Subscribed! Some very excellent development work is going on here!
