    In China

    Kingfish, Did you get a chance to visit the Gardens or Canals in the Suzhou's "old city" area? I was there back in 2005. I was not on Business so I mainly remember the canals and some interesting local dishes. I stayed in a canal side hotel for a few nights. It was actually more like a room...

    Can epoxy withstand the torque of a hub motor axle?

    Is the drive side = to the disk side? Sorry for my total newb question: :oops: It must be, because it ts the short axle side. So why is that called the drive side?

    What did you cook today??

    Man I wish I could get that here in China. I can't find cured meats anywhere here except on-line. But the scallops here are really good. Bigmoose, The way you cook those awesome dishes for your wife...the girls here would go crazy over you. I cooked breakfast for my girlfriend earlier this...

    Can epoxy withstand the torque of a hub motor axle?

    That is probably the best answer. All of my broken axles are likely related to the fact that I am using the adapter threads as TA's. Like you said, I probably should design a TA that is separate from the adapter on the non-disk side but that will require that I mill flats into the axle (see OP...

    Can epoxy withstand the torque of a hub motor axle?

    For my first eBike I decided to go with a 2WD from components. So far I have snapped 1 rear and 2 front axles, all within a few 100 km. I have the problem with the rear axle solved. Now I need to design a solution for the front 20mm axle-fork. Follow the various views of design below you will...

    Single-speed e-bike?

    I went with a SS on my first eBike and I have a CST Bafang. I am very happy with the setup. I try to get myself to pedal on starts and up hills, but I usually just floor both throttles and sit there. I don't want gears unless I go with a mid-drive. Still need a chain tensioner.

    Should Girlfriends be un-sprung weight?

    That bike has some crazy suspension. Is that linkage stock? Is it yours?

    Ohh my GOD :mrgreen: ! I want one. We don't have snow here but we have bumps! I would add full suspension for my riding.

    My first eBike build: DH 2WD in China

    I would like to make a non-hub build but the 2WD is a blast. I really do have to address my wire routing. I will get to it later :mrgreen: Increasing the axle diameters would require a non standard bearing ( I think) or making new side covers. I prefer to get a motor with larger axles next...

    Should Girlfriends be un-sprung weight?

    NO :shock: ...If I even show my gf your idea I will get my azz kicked.

    Bomb proof my axle

    How to remove the front wheel: 1) Remove the forks. 2) Remove the fork brace adapter. 3) Remove the 2 TA's 4) Remove the flange adapters. They are threaded and have wrench flats. Wheel is off!

    Fork brace seems unnecessary

    Good idea...but I just got this bike back together. Think what I have to do to get that brace off :roll: here is a look at it installed:

    My first eBike build: DH 2WD in China

    She is running again. I went for a 20km ride and decided to check the axles for any sign of trouble. I found all the nuts were no longer tight. I checked them several times before the ride. So new moters must have the bearing not fully pressed in. I suspect that contributed to why my axles...

    4WD Electric Off-Road Recumbent Pedal Assist "E-Bike" Build

    Thanks for the images. Are the images you posted of your "full 3D CAD model"? I would really like to see the 3D model of the suspension area including the drive, steering, and brake components. If the model does not have those components yet, can you post a sketch?

    Fork brace seems unnecessary

    check out this kick-azz adapter: Wire electrical discharge machining did the trick. 420 stainless steel. Stronger than before the cut :mrgreen:

    Wow, unbox and ride in 10 mins.that must be nice. Your ride looks very nice. My build has only lasted 4 months so far but Im not exactly done yet :oops: . Strange thing is,I bet my next build will require even more fab, and take even longer :mrgreen: BTW, I also have Bafang 48V 500W geared...

    I am about to buy this bike, ES'ers rip it apart please.

    I just saw a bike at probike in Hong Kong that I thought was a the Vangaurd in this post. Actually it is a similar frame from a different bike brand, and no fat wheels. Anyways, I thought this bike looked cheap (top pic). That same bike brand "doppleganger' had one bike at the shop that looked...
