    Lipo Questions

    Hi All, My goal with my next build is to be quite a bit more light weight than my super heavy last one. As such, I'm going the geared hub route (probably a MAC or an eZee), and despite my hesitation (due to my complete inexperience) would like to have a go at assembling a lipo pack...no matter...

    Opinions for a new build?

    Hi All, EDIT: First of all, merry Christmas and happy New Year! After my bike got stolen this summer, I have narrowed down my selections for a new build to two options and am hoping for opinions/advice. My first pick was to build on this bike: I was planning on using the rear 9c 2805, a 20A...

    My much beloved bike has been stolen

    Whelp, my bike just got stolen from outside my work. Stepped out 2 hours ago and it was still there, but finished my shift and it was gonzo. My own damn fault; I had a shitty lock as my "good one" broke and I procrastinated about getting a new one (I normally always locked it with both locks)...

    Recumbent build, opinions?

    Hi all, I'm currently riding a 48v 1000w hardtail mountain bike and am thinking of putting together a recumbent for next summer, also looking at moving up to 60v or 72v and maybe around 1800w.

    Where to buy lipo?

    All I seem to be able to find are LifePO4 and LiMn batteries...anybody know where to find LiPo? Also, whatever happened to NiMH and NiCad packs? Can't seem to find them anywhere either...I know they aren't as good overall but they were cheaper :) Thanks!

    Couple of questions

    When a battery is listed as having a rated current discharge rate, and a max continuous discharge rate, which should I be matching to the controller? For instance, if my battery has 20amp rated and 25amp max continuous, is it safe for me to use a 25 amp controller? An unrelated question: for a...
