    19" Motorcycle Wheels vs 26" Bicycle Wheels (rim and tires)

    That sounds like a pretty good idea. I thought I remembered in the first few pages of this thread that it said only 20 inch bicycle rim were a direct match for moto tires. I'm not sure if 22 inch BMX rims were around when this thread started though. I ended up buying a new kit so I may try a 22...

    19" Motorcycle Wheels vs 26" Bicycle Wheels (rim and tires)

    I've been on this forum for about 7 to 10 years and I think every interaction we have had things get way deeper then they need to be. That's not an insult, I'm just saying your are extremely detailed and technical with your responses. My main question was is it worth it to build it or just buy...

    19" Motorcycle Wheels vs 26" Bicycle Wheels (rim and tires)

    I don't like the size of the 26 bike wheels on the enduro style ebike. They just look to big and thin. I want a smaller diameter wheel with a little thicker tire. I got the bike in a trade and didn't do my research for how difficult it was to switch to moto rims. I've been seeing a lot of...

    19" Motorcycle Wheels vs 26" Bicycle Wheels (rim and tires)

    Hey. I wanted to see if I could get some help with a wheel predicament. I just traded one of my ebikes for a stealth bomber clone. Currently the bike has a72v 60 amp controller and 26 inch wheels with I believe a qs 205 motor in it. I hate the 26 inch wheels and want to convert to 18 inch moto...

    Motor pinout for Matsui 1000w geard hub

    Thanks for responding. I'm not cutting off the connector from the controller, I bought a male to female higo pigtail and I'm cutting that to use on the new controller. I'm trying to not cut the connectors from the stock parts so I can sell them as I upgrade. I think I am just going to have...

    Motor pinout for Matsui 1000w geard hub

    I have a Matsui 1000w hub motor that came with my Ariel rider xclass 52v. I'm upgrading the controller and instead of cutting the higo connector on the motor I want to add a 10 pin higo connector to the new controller. I just have not been able to find a pinout for the motor and not sure how I...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    True my folding bike was fun at 25 until I tried to go up a hill.lol. Now that I'm using my bike for commuting to work it's actually aggravating going wide out throttle and only doing 30mph. Here in Texas most of the main roads are 45 or 55mph. The only road, that just recently got a sidewalk...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    That's what I was thinking. So realistically 37 to 40mph. This is for a 20inch fat tire bike. Does it seem like a better idea to just order the motor and buy a sabvoton or frankenrunner controller from the start? Getting closer to 50mph would be nice but I think I 40 would be good enough...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    So I've been researching and going back and forth about what kit or voltage to run. I have an Ariel Rider Xclass 52v and besides a battery bag, there is no simple way to mount a 60v or 72v battery. So instead of frustrating myself with this any further can someone verify if this leafbike kits...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Thanks for the response. I have hydraulic brakes on one and one of the others will be upgraded when I choose which to upgrade. 2 of the 3 are full suspension. I already have a set of shinko 241 for the first bike I convert and will definitely use motorcycle tires on the other. I will be...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Hi. I haven't been on this forum in years but it seems like the best place for the info I need. I have 3 20 inch fat ebikes. I'm planning on making at least 2 of them reach 50ish mph but typically will be riding between 30 and 40mph. I stumbled across this thread and seems like this would be a...

    Lipo safety

    Lol. @ dogman. Like I said I agree with most of your points but unless the op changed his question he just asked if his batteries would be safe while he was away. Then everyone started with the lipo horror stories, that as pointed out where mostly user error/negligence. Also you must really...

    Lipo safety

    Dogman for the most part I agree with your points. It was more directed at other people that make the one liners or make it seem like you have to have a ridiculous security system to own lipos. The same thing happened in RC when everyone started using lipos. Back then they where more dangerous...

    Lipo safety

    Wow. Another attack of the lipo that's going to spontaneously combust. Use common sense, have a halfway decent charger and don't overdischarge. It's not hard to be safe with lipo but I agree that a little safety goes a long way. 8 yr rcer. I have took 3 cells down to 9v and drew to many amps...

    Thanks again Amberwolf. I read that a couple times.lol So I think Ive found the donor bike for me. A 99 rockhopper in good condition that I picked up on CG for $50. Needs a little tlc but besides new grips and some work on the rear shifter(not using it anyway) it works perfect. Now I need some...

    Yet another noob

    Thanks. I have given up on the pas. Yes I have had it on the road. Went for my first 11.5 mile ride the other day. Was trying to see my actual max distance. Still had 3.93 in the battery after. Mostly between full throttle 30mph and 20.The battery meter on the bike doesn't work that great...

    Building a wheel with hub motor

    Just following up. I took my front wheel that was ridiculously out of true and wobbly (I didn't realize how bad until I got the rear done) to the bike coop to use there equipment. The wheel basically waved.lol The guy showed me what to do and in 15 min came back over. I asked him what next. He...

    Ok. I haven't been able to find how to mod one. I keep reading about mods needed to use them correctly but haven't been able to find a thread spelling them out.

    Is this legit? Greentime on Aliexpress

    So happy I found this thread before I bought an expensive charger.

    Plugged in battery to power supply and fan broke?

    Please report back if you figure this out. I'm looking for a reasonable price bulk charger. I have 2 6s lip chargers but they take hours to charge.

    Yet another noob

    I realized that some bikes are flat on the spindle side and some have a portion that sticks out. There is not enough room for the magnet ring between the BB and crank.(I'll try to get a pic so someone with the same issue in the future can have a clear description). In order to use the pas I need...

    Building a wheel with hub motor

    You guys are amazing. Thanks for all of the suggestions and help. I have the old rear wheel from my v2100 that is my first build to work on. I have a truing tool on the way so I will definitely get some practice in before I decide to build a wheel.There is also a bike coop close to me that...

    Building a wheel with hub motor

    I believe it's the generic yescuma. They really don't have markings on them. The shop said they appeared to be 12g. I was asking these questions because when I decide to upgrade my bike to something that fits me better I think I'll need to build up a different size wheel. Or when this wheel...
