    Kingpan go bang, is it worth trying to fix?

    A clamp for heat sinking became loose and touched the pad of a resistor. R20 exploded. It looks like it might be a 2.2 ohm, but the board looks swollen and cracked underneath the resistor. Even if I go to the trouble of getting the resistor and replacing it (I never knew how helpful Radio Shack...

    Wheel bearing help please

    it is a Novatec wheel with "K09121200001" on it. Does anyone know what bearings to use? There are no numbers printed on the race or hub. Oh no, I just realized that the hub is most likely a custom build for the bike because it is a tadpole and only supported on one side. I asked the bike...

    What do you think of Organic Transit?

    I stopped by their old factory several years ago. I was impressed with the owner and staff. The ELF looked amazing. I had already taken a test ride on one owned by a military doctor. It seemed reasonable enough, easy to pedal and steer and fairly decent on a rough driveway. I bought one second...

    Ok, I bent the new rim... Looking for a stronger rim.

    Bought a BMX rim. The LBS cut some spokes for the motor. I built the wheel. Rode for months. Last night I hit the 1.5 inch high threshold between a road and a driveway at a small angle and bent the rim. :oops: I really hate those thresholds because I've had several pinch flats from them-hence...

    Vendor recommendation wanted for ebike parts

    Old guy here still working as an engineer, who spent too much for a e-velomobile which breaks every 40 miles or so. My commute is either 18 miles of reasonable roads or 16 miles with some narrow winding parts. I'm building a velomobile ebike and am running out of time and money. Where can I...

    Anybody here from Spain?

    Last week there was a link in a post (on ES?) to a group which is talking deposits for an open source vehicle. After looking through my history, and searching, I am unable to find it. The group is in Spain. The vehicle looks a lot like the ELF without the curved transitions between the...
