    Off the shelf system using Thun BB sensor?

    Hi Guys, Anyone seen any systems available off the shelf that will work and/or are using the Thun BB Torque sensor? I have a need for something that will work out of the box, not looking to use a CA in this solution. For it to be legal here it needs to be a closed system that is not "easy"...

    Shake, rattle and roll.....

    I just godda vent. The March 11th quake was bad enough and I never care to experience something like that again in this lifetime. But, even worse these flipping aftershocks are doing my head in. All the more reason to keep my ebike in tip top running shape so I've got a way home when...

    New sprocket options for left drive Alfine setups.

    Hello all, As I hunt around for sprocket adapters to mount onto a 6 hole disc pattern on my alfine I came across some fixie offerings that seem to pop up around the centerlock mounts. It appears Formula is coming out with centerlock hubs, which could mean centerlock sprockets that might? fit...

    Friction RC Commuter Build

    Hello All, Well, I've blundered through a few different setups over the last 2 years. A cyclone which I hated having in the chainline, noise, substandard parts. Then, I went to a Crystalyte X5 and 40x builds which made my bikes feel like tanks or like I was cycling a couch to work. I've two...

    A few ebikes from the cyclemode Tokyo show

    Hello all, Just got back in from this years show so thought I would quickly post a few of the bikes I came across. Some typical Panasonic drive based ones, few with direct drives, hub motors and a line with the motors within a large bottom bracket. Good to see the electric folders out in...

    Cute 85, how many spoke holes doh!

    Hi all, Either my googling is getting weak or the manufacturer hasn't put the specs out. Heck even in their pdf for the product it doesn't list how many holes. I want to order a RIM up but am guessing it may be a 32? Anyone with this motor can comment? Front 36v Cute 85. Many thanks, Ray

    New crank driven ebike, maybe a folder...

    I am always seeing interesting bikes down here in Japan but came across this recent release. From the pics it looks like it also may be a folder but I am not positive. Yours for only 400,000 yen :shock: http://www.epovelo.com/

    Splitting a 36v 20ah Battery into 2?

    Hi, I am a beginner when it comes to being able to wire up a battery pack. Before I even rip the sucker open and experiment is it even possible to think of splitting a single 36v 20ah battery into 2 36v 10ah batteries? I no longer need the capacity and want to lighten up the pack and use...

    How to calculate potential speed and what gears to use?

    Hi all, Well, when it comes to mathematics I am a bit of a dunce. :shock: Anyone know a good online calculator or can tell me how to figure out the best sprockets to buy to attain a specific speed. An example is I am looking at having a sprocket on a disc hub, perhaps 42T, and drive that...

    Crystalyte PAS not working.

    Hi, Well, I finally got around to mounting my PAS and hooking it up to my Clyte digital controller. I was told by Clyte this controller is PASv7 compatible and it has the correct hookup for it. So, its all together with the only other accesscory which is a thumb controller. But, the motor...

    408 Front Mounting. Did I goof it!

    Ok, I think I have goofed up my Crystalyte 408. I think I over tightened it on the front forks and now the right nut will tighten up, reach a certain resistance and keep spinning without tightening all the way. The weird thing is the threads look normal :?: but it wont let me tighten it up...

    Crystalyte 408 / 700c. 1X or 2X?

    Hi again, Sorry for all the queries but I am just trying to piece together my new system. I have a 408 and will probably put it into a Mavic a719 700c wheel. From most of the pictures I see it appears it is usually laced as 1 cross. Has anyone ever tried a 2X or even 3X (hub is probably...

    Mounting controller inside a pannier

    Hi, Just curious. I have noticed pictures of some of the bikes where people have them in bags. I am thinking of placing my crysalyte digital controller inside an ortleib pannier to help hide the fact my bike is electric. I am a bit worried of overheating the controller. Do these things...

    Throttle mods for drop bars.

    Has anyone seen such a beast? I have been looking through the threads and cant find anyone who has drop bars with their ebike. At the moment I have a thumb throttle on order and am hoping I can somehow hack it to be decent on my setup. Any interesting ideas appreciated. Thanks,

    X5304 + 36v 20ah. Distance calculations

    Hi, I was considering an RC setup initially but being in an area where I have to ship in anything at great expense I am thinking of opting for a non fiddly system with readily available replacement parts should I ever need. Anyhow, I am curious if anyone knows of how I can estimate potential...

    How loud are the RC motors?

    Hi Guys, I am really considering converting one of my bikes to an RC setup. It would be a low rpm unit using a cog placed onto the disc brake mount on my alphine internal hub. My query is. How loud are these things compared to say like the cylone kits or similar type non hub motors...

    Crystalyte 5304 on 24V10ah

    Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to run a Crystalyte 5304 on my existing 24V LifePo4 battery setup. The battery etc is fairly new so I would like to incorporate it into my hub motor solution. I would then upgrade to 36V at a later date. I know this would mean the repurchase of a...
