    19" Motorcycle Wheels vs 26" Bicycle Wheels (rim and tires)

    What tools do you use for MC tires? I'm guessing tire irons aint going get er done..lol.. I put 16" moped tires on a bike rim with parktool levers.. but this looks a whole lot stiffer.

    yeah i'm only running 24 mph at night and this light is more than adequate to light up the dark streets for me... However everyone knows what their eyes need... my biggest problem is to remember to bring my normal glasses when I go out at twilight...lol

    CroBorg Super Commuter

    Never ran it to discharge but the instructions say 90 minutes at full beam. Just a great bright white light.

    Hope you're feeling better.. Just bought this headlight... Quite bright, and judging by all the vehicles who now stop to let me pass, quite noticeable! Cygolite Metro 500 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1NQ3DU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    19" Motorcycle Wheels vs 26" Bicycle Wheels (rim and tires)

    Thanks for the comparision thread! Can attest to the reliability of moped tires on ebikes.. AFter 15 flats or more with my great handling 20x3 Kendas, I was told to switch to 16" Shinkos.. not only were they incredibly cheap like 17 bucks, but they were absolutley bullet proof... And hardly...

    2012 Stromer Elite

    Ah good idea... They didn't give me the adapter cable or any manual... Just a bike and a charger... Guess I'll keep trying to get someone ffrom Stromer to give me a call. or maybe some dealer can sell me a cable.

    2012 Stromer Elite

    A new Bike store in Miami bought the inventory of an old bike store and decided that they didn't want to be in the electric bike business.. So they're unloading 7 brand new 2012 Stromers.. I bought a Stromer Elite for $1600, which seems like a steal. Since they are a BMC Dealer, and BMC bought...

    Stromer Elite Review

    Well I went ahead and bought a brand new 2012 Stromer Elite for $1600... Really enjoying the Pedal Assist Mode.. The brakes are not good but a better set of pads should make the difference. The battery was completely dead when I bought it, and after charging for 12 hours at a time for 2 days...

    Need help deciding on which kit to buy

    Hope it works out for you.. You should read the Endless sphere Thread on LiPo failures... some of them are heartbreaking.

    Stromer Elite Review

    Hey! Does anyone have an opinion of the 2012 Stromer? Seems like there were a lot of warranty issues with the Motor/controller... Any other nuisance areas to be aware of? Thinking about buy a used one with a new motor.

    Nice look DeepFraught! I'm assuming you've dumped the stock controller at this point. Could you please tell me how you wired the CellMan pack to the controller/motor? The Metro rear batter has a five pin connector and I have no idea what two of them are for... thanks

    Agreed about the soft start... The price of reliability. Was getting tired of the high temperature cutout in July 15 miles from home... :x So the 12S LiFePO4 BMS by Cell man looks good.. either the 25a or 40a would be more than enough for the stock controller. I think I would probably mail...

    ok.. You know the only electric part that has been deadly reliable has been that frame pack... Every other electrical part has been replaced, and the motor 3x, all under warranty first two years. Not sure how you would shove the batteries in what should be a tight fit inside the tube frame...

    I took apart the plastic case and deemed not worth trying to reuse it. Don't remember why. 14s may be high for the stock controller, I might be up for 13s ARe you saying that the OEM case cannot be disassembled without destroying it? Guess the batteries could be assembled with the correct...

    Great Stig.. I sent him an e mail about it this morning.. I have two packs to be replaced. My only concern about upgrading the Ah is actually fitting inside the plastic case that houses the battery pack.. I don't know if your sketch dimensions are the internal dimensions of the frame or the...

    Thanks for the heads up, DeepFraught...I checked the drain hole and bulkhead fitting for the wiring and didn't notice any cracks... Unless the paint is removed you really can't tell unless its pretty bad :? My swingarm failed at the weld about 2 years ago, and it was replaced under...

    Have any of you folks had any luck sourcing a replacement battery back for the frame battery? My Metro is 5 years old and the battery is jsut about done. I could pay 600 for a new frame pack.. But my second battery also needs to be replaced... Think anyone would want to build a reverse...

    If you get tired of those Kendas, and believe me you will, there are much better choices with Moped tires.. Shinka and Pirelli have some good choices.. They are cheaper, they don't leak and they don't get flats anywhree near those Kendas.

    triangle bag

    I ordered a bag from them and they did not provide the width that I specified and the bag was much smaller that the dimensions provided for the frame.. The quality of the material was low end, and nothing like the material in the Falcon EV bag. I have all the backup information and pics to...
