    Board Track Racer Style Felt Cruiser

    Inspired by some of the cruiser bikes I've seen on ES, namely DanJPendleton's slick board track racer style Micargi, I started my own project. It's a New Belgian Brewery special edition bike I got off CL. I swapped out the rolling gear with a custom set RoadRash laced up for me - an MXUS 4t...

    Riding for charity, help an ES brother out!

    Hey guys, next Saturday I'm participating in a local bike-a-thon. In these tough times, many organizations are seeing their budgets shrink so I'm riding for a local rape crisis center that's had to lay people off and rollback services to my community. It'd be a shame to see this place shutter...

    Overvolting Turnigy motors

    Some folks here wondered about the ability of the turnigy motors of handling more voltage than their max rating. Well I'm happy to report that after a month of running my 63-74 motor at 44.4v that its still going strong. I'm sure the gearing of the SA 3speed is helping too. My only concern now...

    Anyone else running EVLogix RC Throttelizer?

    Hey guys, I'm calling out to anyone else who's bike is equipped with a throttelizer. My laptop crashed a while ago and I lost the throttelizer programming software. If anyone has it, please let me know - i've tried contacted EVLogix but the site is gone and my emails have bounced back from all...

    Issues with Turnigu ESC's

    So I've switched ESC's from a CC ICE 100 to a Turnigy Sentilon I had sitting around from an RC helicopter build (wanted to up the voltage). The ESC's hooked up to an RC throttelizer and just doesn't seem to work. But when a bec/receiver combo is used, it works fine. I've tested throttelizer...

    Where to buy Sturmey Archers internal hub?

    I was wondering if anyone's seen Sturmey Archers 3-speed cassette hub, the CS-RS3? Here's the link to the product page: http://www.sturmey-archer.com/products/hubs/cid/8/id/58. It looks to be Sturmey Archer's version of the SRAM Dual Drive. I've searched high and low on the web and can't...

    How long can customs detain items?

    I ordered $300 worth of lipo's off ebay right before thanksgiving that I believe are still being held in customs. According to the tracking number the seller provided, they were shipped out the day before Thanksgiving and since then, there hasn't been any status update on the USPS tracking...

    Blizzard Blast!

    I took my bike to work this morning when the temp was down to 15 degrees or so and heavy wins. The studded tires I have now are very good but man when you have 40mph cross and headwinds, things can get a little dicey. Fortunately, I made it to work and back without incident and had a helluva...

    Sturmey Archer X-FD Brake Drum

    Because of the impending snow, I swapped out my Avid SD7 front V-brake (w Koolstop thinline pads) in favor of a Sturmey Archer drum brake hub. I originally wanted to run an Avid BB7 front disc brake, but there were too many parts and $ involved in a disc conversion. So far, I've been using the...

    Neighborhood ride on my Cyclocross ebike

    Ok I finally took some video of me riding the bike. I apologize for my grotesque presence at the beginning of the vid lol. So I've realized that with a 700c-equipped bike and a 200Kv outrunner, the only practical voltage to run my bike would be either 18.5 or 22.2v. Here, I've "de-tuned" it...

    CC ESC - Throttelizer Connection Issues

    Hi guys. I need to pick some of your knowledgeable brains. I recently received and connected the RC Throttelizer to my CC Phoenix ICE 100 ESC. The problem I seem to be having now is that the throttle doesn't seem to turn the motor. Instead, the red LED flashes and the motor beeps. Have any...

    50mph Diamondback RC Build

    Hey there. I know some of you have been following my on-going RC build and fortunately, I was able to take it out for a spin today right after work. I'm basically running an HXT outrunner mounted on the rear rack, feeding it 30v, 16ah of LiPo juice. Thanks for Burtie, Jeremy Harris and all...

    How do you lock your bikes up?

    I hate the feeling of having a bike pinched. Nothing worse than taking a long hike home after coming out from a store and seeing your U-lock broken with a car-jack or your chain lock snipped with bolt cutters. After having two bikes taken in the past 5 years, I've now become a bit of a lock...

    assembling RC ebike - which bike to choose?

    Hello everyone. I've been a lurker for quite some time and aside from a few random posts, haven't really been involved with ES. However, I've really appreciated the sheer volume and depth of information available here and I've just been blown away by the technical know-how of everyone here...
