    Thank you for the feed-back! Question. When you went to a 52V pack on the stock controller, did you get improved hill climbing?

    A2B new to me

    After going through the bike tuning and cleaning, I rode it about 5 miles up and down the canyons of San Diego and it worked well. I rode 10 miles today on the B battery alone and at mile 9 going up Genesee Ave out of San Clemente Canyon it sagged a bit and I had to peddle assist . Once I was on...

    After reading up all of the old A2B posts I see the Lifepo charger is just an extra charger that I don't need. Anyone need one? The price will be right!

    I let myself slip and I bought an old A2B Metro at a garage sale for $450. Everything works. A and B battery pull just fine. Brakes,throttle, switch gear, all normal. It has some corrosion from being in the beach area, but no sun or water damage. Good tires, good brake pads. Not bad. The rear...

    Thanks for the reply. I guess the title should be : Have Batteries, will Travel Slowly... Maybe that is why they were free. Back to the scrap yard... Bob K

    Have batteries, will travel.

    I can get 98 cells in the triangle for a 14S 7P battery pack. ( 2.5 amp continuous, 5 amp max per cell) I have enough cells to get up to 14S 9P with some "messy" packaging. I only have the hills of the beach areas of San Diego to deal with so that is mostly moderate hills , I believe. 30...

    Question about electromagnetic fields and health

    to answer your question. Yes,completely encasing the converter in metal ( aluminum tape is just as good and cheaper) will shield the 1.2kHz EMF. I would not worry too much as 1.2kHz is much too long of a wavelength to really emit (transmit) any power from something so small. An your body is...

    DIY welding RC motor mount to board-trucks

    JB weld is great stuff. Bolted AND bonded structures are the best. The bolting forces take the clamping loads and the JB Weld takes the shear loads. Ultimate bonding of aluminum with JB weld is as follows: 1. De-grease with solvent 2.With gloves on ( skin oil really contaminates a bonded...

    I just wanted to give a big thanks to Ecyclist for demonstrating his bike to me. Your attention to detail is just outstanding ! Your hot tip on taking apart the freewheels and tightening up the shim pack is just great. Everyone should take a second look at your little wiring box behind the...

    2016 GNG EXTREME BELT MID DRIVE BUILD. PROS & CONS

    Yeah, I have to see if I can use the San Clemente Canyon trail to work with. If I can , there are a lot of "connectors" to the canyons of Clairemont and Tecolote and I would imagine a via through Sorrento Valley to Penesquitos as well. I also ,deal with advanced chronology along with a "not so...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies. Fabricating a custom mount is not a problem for me. I even have some carbon fiber plate stock laying around and maybe I will get inspired :) I am not sure it will be as stiff as the rebar/concrete mount though... :lol: As I have not heard a cyclone, I...

    new cyclone 3000 w mid-drive kit?

    I have been lurking here awhile and I have just purchased a used Giant DH Comp and I have 144 Sanyo UR 18650F cells. I have soldered up battery packs ( yes, lithium too ,reliably) for over a decade now so I have the ability and cells to make another. I am planning on a 14S-10P triangular pack...

    KYDEX 4 X 8 sheet is about $100 from your local plastics distributor. They are not going to stock too many colors so you will have to accept what they have in stock. Of course, you could special order the 17 sheet minimum and get what ever you want. Look up Kydex holsters and Knife...
