    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    Long time no post... So I’ve got a phase runner wired up to the cycle analyst and I’m having some issues. After accelerating for a while I’ll get a throttle error and the motor stops accelerating, after a second or two I can accelerate again. Any tips on how to fix this? Also, I’ll post some...

    Charger turned back on after over 36 hours of trickle charging

    I bought a “new (other)” hailong battery pack of some guy on eBay :lol: it‘s 48v 14.5ah Sanyo cells that was marked as open box, the battery worked well for a a couple miles and then the voltage would sag down to and the bike would shut off. Looked through some forums here and I understand it...

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    Bought the Ogre, considering building it up myself or just taking it to a shop. Building it is really daunting, but I feel as thought once I’ve figured it out I probably wouldn’t want to ever do it any other way, and I love that feeling. On the other hand, I’ll be barreling down a busy NYC...

    Forward exiting vs rear exiting horizontal drop outs

    I’m considering the surly ogre and surly straggler frame to build up from with a rear mounted 12t motor. I like the way the straggler looks more than the ogre but it has forward exiting horizontal rear drop outs (straggler) and I’m not sure if there’s any advantages to the rear exiting ones on...

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    I am deciding between the surly ogre and straggler frames. Straggler has a forward-exiting horizontal rear drop out and the ogre has a horizontal slotted with an optional vertical dump-out. I really like the looks of the straggler, but the ogre seems easier to install a torque arm onto. What do...

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    I just like the fact that keeping the seat post and handlebars means I don’t have to spend more money :lol: , but it looks like the seat post won’t fit, so I’ll need to replacement and a new front wheel for sure. Any recommendations on a brake set up? Maybe I’ll get a suspension seat post...

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    I’m strongly considering getting a Surly Ogre frame and building that thing up with a single speed. I’m going to see if I can salvage my handlebars and seat/seat post on the street king and use it on the new frame...will be getting my digital caliper delivered today... Any thoughts on this?

    I mean is it really that hard to stretch this thing a little more than half an inch? :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I bought a rear 12t from Em3ev last night and a new rigid chomoly fork the other day to fit to this bike I detailed all this above^^ :wink:

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    I want to get on the road ASAP for sure, I was actually refunded for the battery, which actually is a huge positive being that if I were to fix it, I would have a FREE battery to use. Admittedly, the motor never fit properly, but the bike I'm using is "free" (the thing is like 7 years old and...

    ***CORRECTION*** Wyatt has emailed me stating the rear spacing is 120mm.

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    That’s a great idea, there’s a steel fabricator down the block by me that has pictures of bike frames on his google page. I left him a voicemail asking if he could weld on a custom drop out plate. I’d assume rim brakes wouldn’t be an option if I were to move the wheel that far back, so I guess...

    This frame seems to be about 4.5-4.6inches (my digital caliper will be delivered Wednesday hopefully) would stretching it out 20mm be too much? I think that $0 options gives me the ability to change the rating to 30a, so that’s what I did.

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    Amber- I believe the current rating for the controller is 30a although it says 40a, the website gave me a choice of 30a or 40a for the current rating after selecting the controller, so I went for 30a. I will try to put some time aside to take off the rear wheel and measure today.

    Motor and controller...DONE! (I hope) I have attached a parts list, I guess the only other necessary part I would NEED would be a throttle, or an I wrong? Still need to figure out PAS I will check through some threads and update.

    I guess that would work w the CA 2 or CA 3, seems really cool

    My BMS is rated for 50a. I would like the PAS to work like as you said “the faster you pedal, the more power you get” How can I achieve that? I think em3ev mentions their controllers are compatible with CA v3

    Fork issues, motor recommendations, and other newbie questions/issues

    I can order a Mac motor from em3ev tonight, I don’t know which winding to get to match my needs/ battery. They only offer a cycle analyst v2 (not sure if v3 is better and why and if it is I’d get it) and no regular display..do I need a display too? They’re also sold out of throttles so maybe I...

    Mac motor options for stop and go traffic

    Seems like the motor would be way too wide for my set up.

    Mac motor options for stop and go traffic

    Also, I would appreciate an accurate reading of where the battery is at.

    Mac motor options for stop and go traffic

    That’s a good point, but I do want PAS, I have a xt90 connector for my battery so it might not be realistic to not have to solder.
