    Justins presentation on Hub motors (88min YT vid)

    I think that's where he says my name, "Mick." He was just mentioning that we started work on this years back, and yes, e-motos are very much in need of this, and I personally can't wait for that since I'm kinda out of the ebike scene now (health). Like Justin said, the system can be automated...

    Thanks for posting this Lock. Although I was sitting right behind the camera, I'll have to watch the talk again to see if I missed any details. Good job Justin!

    Justin's ebike adventure across Canada video

    If you have FTP set up, just PM me the info and I can upload the file directly. Otherwise, it will be posted in HQ on Youtube fairly soon. Yes, agreed, a truly historic event! I'm so happy to know a real pioneer!

    Justin's ebike adventure across Canada video

    Hi all. I have a 2 hour video presentation of Justin showing images and chatting about his cross-Canada trip (taken at the last VEVA meeting here in Vancouver) if anyone is interested :wink: :wink: Thanks to Zoot Katz for arranging the recording! It's in wmv format and ready to upload...

    NuVinci + 5304 + 48V LifePO4 = :)

    Thanks Mark. I have just the item for that, so hopefully a dropout failure will be contained long enough for me to stop safely. Torque on the crown (?) still concerns me; I'm attempting to find a set of forks from a small motocross bike that can be modified enough for a bicycle. It really is...

    NuVinci + 5304 + 48V LifePO4 = :)

    Can anyone recommend a particular model of forks? I need some good travel, and strength is paramount. Then there's cost... :cry:

    NuVinci + 5304 + 48V LifePO4 = :)

    paultrafalgar: I'll have to chat with Justin about getting some actual data from the NuVinci hub - input energy vs output at various ratios. I think he has a bit of an interest in this device as well. From a purely subjective standpoint, the NuVinci hub is far more 'efficient' in that I enjoy...

    I'll get some nice close-up shots of the forks tomorrow to show you guys... Thanks for the image voicecoils; looks like good insurance to me! Has anyone considered using forks from a smaller motocross bike / motor scooter? Just found these (nice!):

    NuVinci + 5304 + 48V LifePO4 = :)

    Yes, that is a fear that haunts me whenever I ride... The forks on this bike were designed to carry a much greater load than is typical, as the motor area was originally where the NiMH battery case was on the Tidalforce, but either way, I intend to upgrade to something more motorcycle-like when...

    NuVinci + 5304 + 48V LifePO4 = :)

    True... Guess I was meaning that the frame/motor were one before, sprung by the tire, so i really felt the inertia of that chunck-o-fun back there. It feels entirely different now - so much smoother and lighter, except for those occasions when I try to lift the front (on or off the bike) to...

    NuVinci + 5304 + 48V LifePO4 = :)

    The weight distribution is WAY better than before. Also, even though the motor is now 'unsprung', the fat tire absorbs all the bumps, and the bike handles far better overall.

    I finally have my M-750 rebuilt. 5304 front, NuVinci rear, 48V12Ah LiFePO4, 35A CL cont, ebikes lighting - front and rear. To come: new controller with regen, right-hand twist throttle (left-hand thumb regen), and funky front disk arrangement. kVPjhmTThPo

    Lucky me!

    Their size is a bit of an illusion as I've now noticed. Just compare the LED-blocks to my handgrips in image f691776 to get a better perspective. I run the extra-large CA, and a rather narrow handlebar with two-finger brake levers. Overall, when combined with the halo of light surrounding...

    Lucky me!

    These are not yet available as far as I know, but the ever kindhearted souls at ebikes.ca set me up with their latest and greatest product, LED lighting, such that I could brave the dimly lit streets of Vancouver without (as much) fear of being mowed down. Full specs and documentation to...

    Cross-Canada by Ebike

    Congrats Justin! It seems like just yesterday that we were standing in your back yard contemplating the weather - would it rain on the way to Hope or not?? Well, I guess that question now seems somewhat trivial after all you've been through. Glad you made it intact and with a wild ending...

    Cross-Canada by Ebike

    Justin: Just wondering how much energy you think would be sapped by having some suspension (albeit stiff)? Have you had any experience comparing the energy consumption of a particular ebike with and without suspension?
