    Stealth FUTR owners builds and pics

    Hi Lash, I am talking about the length between the rear axle and the bottom bracket axle. I am fairly sure that this was done by stealth to provide anti wheelie characteristics when running high power levels. When the mxus was on there at 6kw there was never any problem to lift the front wheel...

    +1 here, that bike is going to be something special IMO :D I took my alpha out for a nice long ride today, managed to cover 53km over 3h 20m with total elevation gain of 984m. On board was my 20ah 12s multistar pack with 50v at the start and 46v at the end with sag of about 2v at full...

    Looks like an epic ride and your "partners" beta looks like a great bike for that type of riding. The alpha minus the heavy rear wheel is like a totally different bike now. The rear feels more stable in rough terrain which is more confidence inspiring especially in turns. It is now possible to...

    Here's a couple of pics. It's still a work in progress. So far the changes are: 26x3 Duro tires, In place of the MXUS 3k is a Halo SAS 48 spoke wheel. Motor is now Bafang bbshd I cut my bb shell down from 100-80mm to make it fit. Installed a sunrace 11-40 8spd cassette and shimano shifter. Next...

    It looks like there's an option so you can get tapered or straight so the straight steerer tube should fit. Lash how much mileage have you done with that fork? I'm interested, I've put my alpha on a diet and I am going to lower the ride height which means a new fork will be needed. Any feedback...

    Wow Jay that is something special, I like it a lot. Is that for personal use or a customer?

    Lash, that looks nice. Yeah it could be debris mostly though when it happens its after hitting high speed bumps and ruts etc. As for shifters I'm using a crappy shimano 7spd click shifter on the right but it's a pain to use because it's too far inboard to allow clearance for the domino throttle...

    Hey Rix, cheers yeah I'm still loving this bike and now I've got some time to ride and enjoy it. Chain drops do suck that's for sure and they always seem to happen when it's the most inconvenient :lol: At least on this bike you just pull up and stick it back on and you're away again. When I...

    I took my alpha out for a ride yesterday, all was good except a bit of trouble with chain drops. Had to stop about 4 or 5 times to put the chain back on? All up though great fun. The battery in this bike is 6 x 6s 10ah multi star packs connected 18s 20ah. I did a balance charge before I left and...

    Hi CD, I would try a short piece of aluminium angle with a hole cut in to accept the clip and fix to the frame with a couple of m5 screws.

    Q100H axle problem

    d8veh, tru dat, as soon as I did that it was easy to get the cover to unscrew and from there on the rest was easy to do. I ended up having to screw a piece of wood to the disc mount to fit my vice which was not big enough to hold the motor. I have tested the motor now and it seems ok. Now to...

    Q100H axle problem

    No just the BMS battery TAs for $15 a pair which look pretty decent although I wouldn't trust them on a high powered build. I ordered 2 pairs and they were out of stock but it showed in stock on the website. They waited for them to come in before my order shipped but didn't inform me until I...

    Q100H axle problem

    Cyborg and motomech, thanks guys that's what I was hoping that it was just an assembly error. Makes me wonder how that motor passed the quality check, might be a Friday motor :lol: I will open up the motor soon, hopefully this is the only problem with this motor :roll:

    Q100H axle problem

    I ordered some motors and other stuff from BMS Battery including a q100h rear hub motor and I discovered a problem with the q100h axle. The problem is with the axle flats not being aligned so that when one side is in the frame dropout the other side is about 45 degrees out and will not fit at...

    2WD PHATGOOSE

    Those indicator brackets look like they will work well. I think I will order a couple of sets. I have a couple of pairs of 12mm torque arms coming with my order from BMS battery which I think are designed to work with hose clamps but I would prefer to use a solid steel clamp if possible. I think...

    2WD PHATGOOSE

    Hey no offence meant there nutspecial. Cool I really want to see how you set up your front end as I am trying to decide whether to go rigid or not when I'm running a front motor. I am still waiting for my parts to arrive, once I have the motor I can order the spokes and get the front wheel drive...

    2WD PHATGOOSE

    Hi nuts, I know this was a budget build for you and you were also aiming for simplicity/reliability so I get the reason you went for dd hub motors. I thought about the 2wd with dd hubs and fat tires for a while and basically realised that maybe the front wheel only needed a smaller motor to give...

    :lol: :lol: :lol: Think I will stick to my Jumbo Jims thanks all the same. I am keen to hear how you go with the new pack and also how your new fork and TA setup turns out.

    Bike plans 4 summer

    I will share my findings with the PAS 2wd once I have tried it for sure. Well don't die before you get to try out your new stuff and let us know how it all goes :lol: I'm toying with the idea of making a linkage style fork to work with the front motor like what they run on mx sidecars but...

    Bike plans 4 summer

    Hey nuts, your 2wd fatty looks awesome, good job. My front motor is on its way from China now. I will be using a Q128H and 800W S12SH controller from bms battery. My control will be primarily PAS because I really like the torque simulation style PAS it seems to work well for me. I'm predicting...

    A thing for fatties

    Yeah adventurous or crazy :lol: either way it should be fun. I plan to have a 2 litre camelback of water and some energy bars on board and not much else maybe a few tools, pump and a tube. My friend offered to drive support for me as he has dodgy knees and can't ride for long so we will take 2...

    A thing for fatties

    Hi Ozzzz, thanks and same back to you. This bike was a bargain at $700 from cycling deal, not sure if they've got any left at that price now. Watch this space as I have more planned for this beast. I have a q128h 135mm hub motor and s12sh controller and weinman 36h x 80mm rim on the way for the...

    A thing for fatties

    Hey MadRhino, good info there. I mainly was interested in the fat bikes to ride across beaches and deserts for adventure style riding. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance in my local tracks where I would normally ride my FUTR Alpha. The great thing is nobody notices that it's electric...

    A thing for fatties

    When your tires can deliver a consistent performance over a range of different surfaces it helps a lot as you know how the bike will react in most situations. This predictability allows the rider to push right up to the limit of traction with confidence, especially when riding on varied...

    A thing for fatties

    Went for a decent ride today at Stromlo mtb park, the bike performed great and I was quite impressed with the Bafang 750w hub motor which dragged my 105kg body up a total of 300m of climbing at various grades over 17km total distance. Voltage of my 12s 10ah lipo pack was 49V at the beginning and...
