    First RC build Jamis Dakar 3220 w/Davinci drive

    Well I finally found a bike that I thought would werq well for a mid drive type motor install. So grabbed it up off of Craigslist Speedo says 104 miles although it's ten years old. I have to believe it as they cables have not even worn through the paint yet. Tires still have the nubs on them...

    Crash and burn in the ice and snow

    Well really no burn but a good hard crash at close to 25MPH. It snowed here in Portland last night and then the temperature went up so that the streets had tracks from the cars that were just wet pavement and few inches of snow everywhere else. I left for werq early so I would not have to go...

    Has anyone tried this Throttle from E-bike kit ?

    Had one that looked like that on my first ebike it was OK but did not last long. Came with my GM kit. Traded for a halfgrip style when it died. You might want to e-mail or call and find out if it is full twist, halftwist or quarter. The later two require much less wrist action to activate and...

    Brake activated motor cutoff switches for safety

    I was stopped at a T intersection to Marine drive along the Columbia river waiting for a break in the 45-50mph traffic so I could cross. Let off my brake and with a jerk I started moving into the busy road but the motor lost sink with the controller and started making it's usual racket like when...

    Hi Water

    Well OK it does occasionally rain in Portland but it was sunny today. Still, I ride in it year round only bad thing about it is the scarcity of picnic tables? :wink: No my motor is not waterproofed although I did use an adequate amount of epoxy when I added the extra phase wires. It's...

    BMC V2 new clutch and rewire

    Well thought after 4K thought I would share my experience with the BMC V2 speed version. Even with having to replace the side cover bearing every 2K I actually think it's a pretty good motor. I did burn up the controller although that was operator error. After towing my Bob like trailer...

    Questions Regarding Battery Connectors

    What do you have that will run at 208A continuous? You are right 12g wire will not take that either but I really doubt anything you are running will either. If your motor can handle more than 50a and your controller can supply it then you need to upgrade to get the most out of your system. If...

    Ever run over a cop with your e-bike?

    Ever run over/into a cop with your e-bike before? I was out for test ride three and took the bike on light rail to conserve energy in my 4.6ah pack. Went over for a visit with dnman to show him the new wheels and see what he was up to. I cruised at 25-30 down 39th mingling with the cars and...

    Golden Regen controller problems

    I have 36 and 48V GM regen controllers. Both have the nasty habit of toasting the 1.5KE62A diodes on the back of the board. They are in series with a resister red, black, gold should be 20 ohms or is that .2 @ 5%? Meter reads them as 0 - .2. Any ideas for an upgrade to stop the insanity?

    e-bike gone wild!!!!!

    Had a few exciting moments an hour or so ago. I have been putting the final additions on the Schwinn GM. Just trying to sort out the new LED light I built. It works as programmed almost, it flashes, as I want it to, until I use the throttle then it just goes on solid until I release the...

    Murphys law and the Giant BMC build

    2nd build woes, Seems like Murphys law applies here. I purchased a new BMC motor and wheel combo from someone here on the forum it was a great transaction. I had asked about the disk brake compatibility cuz I am going to have disk. The wheel arrived very well packed and in great shape but not...

I have read and searched for hours and not found them although I have seen where others have aquired the same. I have 3 broken on my GM now and two other projects...
