    Fly or Fry ? how much can a 409 handle !

    Thats interesting I didn't know that.Do they make magnets of the same power but less weight?

    Fly or Fry ? how much can a 409 handle !

    It would probably be too expensive(unless you owned your own machine shop),but you could have the outer casings made from aluminum to lighten things up a bit Just a thought :wink:

    X5 Motor wiring

    Thanks for the info guys-I checked the wires and its amazing how such a little nick can screw up your fun.The kevlar sounds cool-maybe I'll try that.

    X5 Motor wiring

    its just a little nick but enough to cause it to fail.I'll probably have to open the cover and run new wires and connectors-which is why I'm looking for ideas about protecting them so this doesnt happen again.

    X5 Motor wiring

    Hey guys so I split the wires right where the wires come out of the axel(dont know how I did it).After I repair them I would like to try and protect them.Anyone have any good ideas of protecting the wires as they come out of the motor?I noticed that the puma has the wires come out at the end of...

    Battery Space dot com

    Hey xter I looked at all batteries site and they only have a 37v 4ah battery for $350.The battery space packs are the only ones I have found that are 10ah and weight 6lbs.Could you be more specific as to why I should avoid their packs and not other products?

    Battery Space dot com

    Has anyone ordered from here?Good or bad experience?I am thinking of ordering 2x37v 10ah lipo packs from them and running them in series.I tried calling them and got a guy that couldnt speak english too well and told me to call back.I'm a little suspicious.The packs are hi output-40amps,weigh...

    X5 spoke breakage solution

    well I laced my 20" rim with 12 gauge spokes and I had to drill out the eyelets to make it work.To use the 10 gauge that I bought from buchanann I would have had to drill out the hub.Now I spoke to justin at ebikes about this and he said you have to be careful because he has seen cracked and...

    X5304 and 72v/40A controller problem

    Hey guys so I just switched my rear motor to a 20" and got another 24v battery to run at 72 volts.I hooked everything up as normal and went for a little spin around my parking garage.Everything was fine until I stopped for car to pass by and then lightly hit the throttle and puff nothing-power...

    X5 spoke breakage solution

    Are they 12 gauge spokes?If they are I need 77mm and 138mm lengths 36 of each.Buchanan told me that the smallest spokes they make are 10 gauge so that might be what you have.I already ordered what I need so if they are not 12 gauge I dont need them. Thanks anyways

    X5 spoke breakage solution

    Well dans comp should tell their sales guys what they do and dont do because I just got a call back from them explaining that they dont do custom length spokes even though the sales guy I talked to told me that they did.Does anybody know where to get custom length stainless steel 12 gauge...

    X5 spoke breakage solution

    Hey guys I myself have been breaking alot of spokes.Ever since switching to 24" rim I haven't been able to find good 12 gauge spokes until now.I ordered some 12 gauge from a place called dans comp.I also ordered some 10 gauge spokes from buchanan spokes.I think I will try the 12 gauge first as...

    Power to Weight Ratios... (a long way to go)

    I agree that your design would help handling and allow you much faster speeds,but at that point its not a bicycle its a motorcycle(the design no pedals etc..)A big part of the attraction of ebikes is that it looks like a bicycle,has pedals as a backup source in case the electric part dies.If I...

    Power to Weight Ratios... (a long way to go)

    Sorry I should have clarified-I am taking about electric BICYCLES.I totally agree that with the right development electric motors can out perform the gas equivalent.I would love to have an electric GSXR-lighter,more torque off the line etc..I also agree that the "powers that be"are trying to...

    Power to Weight Ratios... (a long way to go)

    Safe although I understand what your point of all this is,I think you are looking at ebikes the wrong way.I own and race a K7 Suzuki GSXR 750(almost as fast as the bike lowel was talkin about)and I know what its like to go 270 km/hr on a race track(not the drag strip-Ive seen the killacycle and...

    ``` The Gearing Advantage ```

    Lowell thats really impressive.My bike is an 07 and has 134hp at the wheel.I am not really into drag racing(the race track is more my thing)but its fun to smoke wannabes on the street with their riced out cars- just have to watch out for cops.Ok back to the topic.I think Safe is right about if...

    ``` The Gearing Advantage ```

    Lowell your car is faster than my GSXR750??????I am not trying to argue with you but what kind of car do you have.Anything that I have encountered that is faster than my bike(0-60) is usually not even close to being street legal.Just curious.Sorry to change the subject.

    X5 Lubrication points

    Well after replacing the blown tube on the rear tire I pumped up the psi to 70 on both the front and rear tires(maxis hookworms).Sprayed some WD40 in where the axels come out of the motor and charged up the batteries(24v 12ah nimh x2).The weird thing is now the cycleanalyst says that they are...

    X5 Lubrication points

    Hey guys just wondering if there are any places on the X5 motors you should keep lubed(grease,WD40 etc..)?Any places you should not lube.Just curious.And please no jokes :P

    Drat! Got My First Flat

    Fuse Question

    Batteries dont actually heat up that much.About as warm as leaving them in the sun.I basically accelerate with the motor and then pedal to cruise and add throttle only when I get lazy or on a hill.I talked with the guys at ebikes and I will get a cycle analyst to limit the amps so I dont go...

    Fuse Question

    Well I went to canadian tire and parts zone and only could find 30A fuses,apparently they do not make 40A or higher in that size of fuse you have to go with the heavy duty size.Anyway I bought 25 of the 30A fuses and went for a couple of rides expecting to blow some fuses but they held up.So...
