    Does Lightingrods still exist???

    I’m building a new shop building right now and don’t have time to build mid drives. I’ll get back to it. Sometimes you have to take a break and get organized. I’ve been tripping over myself from too much equipment and too little space.

    Lightning Rods small block kit parts

    After making new replacement parts for a nine year old mid drive that has been out of production for five years this customer demonstrated that he does not have even the most basic tools or mechanical knowledge. I did my best to keep his ancient drive running. Every step with him involved...

    One of the crazier groups in the Ebike world is the Razor group. Something about these tiny kid's bikes with tiny wheels has made people want to put huge motors, batteries and controllers in them with speed rated moped tires. One of these killer squirrels was built by Vincent using one of my XL...

    Once you get above 3kW bicycle chain and sprockets don't last long. One solution is to go single speed on the right side and I've done that a lot. The problem with that approach is that you lose your pedaling gears. If you want to pedal with a high powered motor, LHD is the way to go. As part of...

    LightningRods mid drive kit

    I have had a long run of bad luck with frame suppliers. First Qulbix came out with their own hub motor mid drive and stopped making the Q76 that I made a swingarm drive for. Then they started again. Then they stopped again. They may be making them again, I don't know. Then I made an 18kW mid...

    Hi Remus When people start new threads like this I don't get notifications. Yes I still make mid drives and sell parts. I've been keeping busy off of my own Facebook page and a Discord that features my drives. I should still get DMs sent here. My Facebook page is Lightning Rods Cheers, Mike

    Hey buddy- Yes I’m very much still in business. If all you need is a new bottom bracket, you should contact Cyclone. I buy my bottom brackets from him.

    Yes there are stand alone digital temperature gauges that will work with any of my motors. Two XXLs will move a 1500 lb car, but with 50 HP and 100 ft lbs combined performance will be modest. A gearbox would effectively double the power of the motors. That combo would be more fun. Or four XXLs. 😊

    39 mph @ 16S with 7:1

    TBH I’ve never seen a 105T 219. The largest I’ve found are 96T. The diameter of a 120T 219 is 11.7” by the way. The 24F Nucular is plenty of controller. You might be okay at 7:1 considering how light your bike is. Top speed will be around 55 mph @ 20S.

    If you get a good controller and battery that can feed it 10kW the Big Block will wake that LMX right up. Reduction should also be about 8:1. I’m not sure what they run.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t sell controllers. People are free to use any controller they want. This customer wanted the ASI and wasn’t concerned with the price.

    Motor power has continually increased over the ten years that I’ve been designing and building mid drives. We’re presently at 18kW. Definitely motorcycle power. Here’s a video of a newly completed Motoped build with my largest motor, the XXL, and a High Voltage tuned ASI BAC8000 controller...
