    NiMH - Is this normal?

    If you just want more speed try going to a 406 or 405 motor,otherwise if you want to stick with a 5 series motor you will have to get 5c nicads or A123s-trust me I know :wink: .Even some lithiums have problems pulling 40 amps-I know the itselectric packs will not do it.So if you want high amps...

    NiMH - Is this normal?

    These were my batteries and yes if you tried to pull 40 amps out of them they would sag badly.They are only rated at 2c-sorry I thought you knew.I put 40 amp fuses in there because if I tried climbing really steep hills with a 5304 it would blow the fuse with the regular 25 amp ones.If you pull...

    26"" Front #408 wheel breaks a lot of spokes

    Roy ,ebikes sells good 13 gauge spokes and I also recommend using washers on the spoke heads and using a 1 cross pattern.Check out ebikes.ca for more info.

    Spokes size

    Doc it is definitely a PAIN IN THE ASS to lace 12 gauge spokes with a 1 cross pattern in a 24" rim,but it will work and it takes time for the spokes to settle.After you have trued your wheel make sure you check your spokes after every ride for about a month.The spokes should be firm with little...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Actually the two bags on the frame(small handlebar bags)hold the batteries.The rear rack is the controller(bolted down) and a tool pouch(under the seat).I tried rear carry batteries but I hated the way the bike handled.With the batteries strapped to the front frame it feels just like a regular...

    Spokes size

    Thats why I suggested using even downward pressure on the drill(the pressure stops the eyelet from spinning).It takes a few trys to get the hang of it but once you do each hole takes a few seconds rather than minutes.Doc you should definitely use a 1 cross pattern with 24" rims.

    Spokes size

    Its alot faster to drill out the eyelets(trust me I've done 4 rims already :roll: )Just find the next biggest drill bit to fit through the eyelets and clamp down the rim and use even force on the drill with med to high rpms.The eyelets will still be there but dont worry if some drill out...

    Batteries. Better than advertised?

    Actually I always get more out of the batteries.I have the 8ah 5c rated Nicads from ebikes and I can pull 9ah from them before they start dying. My 2 cents

    How much rolling resistance is normal on X5 hub ?

    I had the same problem and justin at ebikes had to machine away some of the outer casing because the bearings were rubbing.You should have yours checked out or return it.The X5 does suck for rolling resistance especially when you compare it to a 400 series.But this is the trade off for better...
