    [USA] Will Tariffs come about and lead to higher priced ebike parts

    Individually purchased BLDC MOTORS/controllers from CN likely will see increased prices. The $800 exemption on tariffs is going to be removed. Everybody pays the duty.,

    [USA] Will Tariffs come about and lead to higher priced ebike parts

    The linear thinking on European prices might be this way: if our prices go up, we buy less. If we buy less from CN, they get surplus inventory. When you have surplus inventory, you can sell for less. So prices go down for Europe, if no other interventions.

    [USA] Will Tariffs come about and lead to higher priced ebike parts

    For an answer to the thread title we now have enough info to say yes, most likely —the higher priced ebike expectations have been set in motion as of last night’s big tariff on China. The Resolve? Likely after the next election? We have moron voters too …”… dumb as a sack of rocks” — from...

    Spring seat suspension bouncing - is elastomer better?

    Neptronix, To your point about inferring that my post was claiming you were a “wuss’.. I said, “ whine, whine, whine” which is applicable to a complainer but I do not see such wording to imply you are a wuss? I have owned and used Thudbusters. One of these TB’s was used on a “full suspension...

    Spring seat suspension bouncing - is elastomer better?

    Whine, whine, whine. If you need more cushioning from hitting pot holes, then stand up on the pedals just before the ass would get the impact. These isometric maneuvers will do more for lowering your blood pressure that hours of discussion about thud busters, elastomers etc.

    Fardriver maximum torque?

    Make torque the highest? The PID parameters used for motor startup on Fardriver controllers can be tuned. Fartdriver controllers have motor performance categories in the PID parameters labeled as “super duty motor”, “heavy duty motor” etc. Within each category are 4 parameters that can be...

    Alternatives to Alibabi-Express for buying QS Motors and controllers, etc..

    Recently I wanted to buy a HOTA H6 Pro charger. Neither HobbyKING or RC Battery had the model in stock. However there is a “copied” version of this model, HOBBYMATE Speed H6 Lipo FPV Drone Charger 700W DC / 200W AC (1641), And instead of $90.00 it costs about $50.00 from a company, Mercari...

    Tired of Cranks — Repurpose Them — to the likes of The MC Pivot Pegz

    Bumper Pads? Even though the pedal shaft rotates up and out of the path of an obstacle on the swivel quite easily, sometimes the pedal shaft would not go flat but remain vertical. The rider then has to locate enough of the pedal to push it flattish to support a foot or to stand upright on it...

    Solar charging LiFePO4 without a charge controller?

    If you have a modern programmable solar controller, e.g. Morningstar TriStar, you can program charging parameters. I have been charging 2 packs of 8p 4s 40ahr lifepo4 in conjunction with 4 150 ah agh lead acid cells to 14.35 volts for about 8 yrs. There is no BMS to manage the Lithium packs...

    https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/members/a-damw.69565/ “Yeah, I cannot imagine a situation where the pegs folding/rotating forward would be of any use, unless you ride in reverse.” Until you understand the configuration space of how the peg’s edges move WHEN GOING UPWARDS, as opposed to...

    Tired of Cranks — Repurpose Them — to the likes of The MC Pivot Pegz

    bananu7, You ask , “Why do you think they fold forward?” They do on my KX100. I looked at the hinge direction also on new Kawasakis at the dealer and they too fold forward. It seems that if pedal can rotate, then up and backwards is much better. I have mine so they hinge upward and...

    Tired of Cranks — Repurpose Them — to the likes of The MC Pivot Pegz

    If you are going to put pegs on your edirtbike, there is a way to employ the ends of the cranks and pedals to make an MC peg similar in motion to the MC Pivot Pegz. Here is a peek at the finished product made for an Isis crank I could not find a flat head metric M12 x 1.0 bolt so I brazed...

    Modifying MC Pegs for Edirtbike

    Pegs Lowered — about 3” — easier to get feet back on pegs. Peg height is now about even with BB spindle retainer bolt hole. I was able salvage the high MC peg mounts shown earlier in this post. Some grinding needed. I am waiting for delivery of a piece of small box beam before starting...

    Modifying MC Pegs for Edirtbike

    My current question is about peg height. On an edirtbike what’s the optimal height of the top of the peg platform? Is a mount closer to the seat better than the center of the spindle ( peg platform top location) for navigating steep trail? My pivot pegz version will likely mount very close to...

    stuttering when accelerating,

    If you have a controller that permits PID startup adjustments (Fardriver controllers do) you can back off the default setting from “heavy duty motor” to a lesser setting and you will get less motor fits. Usually an undersized motor when put to task cannot operate very well (You get stuttering...

    Modifying MC Pegs for Edirtbike

    It seems to be the consensus that when using edirtbikes on steep difficult terrain foot pegs provide better control than pedals on the cranks. My first peg installation was just simple a simple add on version. The pegs are now on one my edirtbikes — simple ones — not the 45 degree break...

    Phase Amps to Motor Math

    This thread began with the idea that math about amperage/motor response might save a motor from overheating. Real world motor overheating is monitored by adding a thermocouple/thermistor to the place in the motor most likely to get the hottest/the quickest. From the thermistor signal one can...
