Aussie Role Call

[maramusa]

Thanks guys.

But I would need to get my passport stamped to go north of the river...do you even have the same gauge rail up there?
Actually AussieJester, I think I read you are in Kalamunda, would love to try make it there from Freo once I get going, I guess I would need the 20AH for that on 48V

lol, connectors all arrived yesterday.
Cheers

I came across this looking for Brisbane riders as that's where I am.
I ride my mountain bike up at Gap Creek and my ebikes mostly around the Gap.

Would be great to ride other bikes if they are round here and get some tips.

Hi John, I'm around the Sandgate area, not too many in Brisbane me thinks not like the WA guys. Have tried to get a Brissy ride but I think we are all spread over.

Hi Brisbanites,
I would like to meet some E.S. ebikers too.

Just a quick post to let Aussies know i have a heap of 200watt
"replacement" stickers for your "originals" that do get a little tatty
from time to time Hit me up if your in need
i will trust buyers they are using these only on their
street legal 200watt motors! and NOT on higher rated
illegal setups!

It's Li-PO and you will need to add freight to that. Also, it's straight from China

I bought a kit from them and it was OK. Main problems I had was with freight company and customs. Jason sorted out all of the issues even though he wasn't to blame. YMMV.

How much did you pay in freight/customs?

Hi all
New guy checking in.

I'm Manny and am based in Sydney! I've been lurking the forums pretty hard for the past week trying to soak up as much as possible. I only recently caught wind that hub motors even existed and straight away got lucky with a 48v 1000w rear hub kit some guy was selling on gumtree for $150. Didn't fit his bike and I couldn't resist 50% off. Since then I've been replacing grips, cables and pads etc on my long neglected bike. Thinking of setting it up so the batteries are in a backpack for discretion and theft security.

I've ordered a 48v10ah LiFePO4 from BMSbattery and plan to get another when I can afford it. My biggest regret is not understanding that "5-8" in the shipping section probably meant 5-8 WEEKS. I should've spent that money on locally available LiPo hobby packs and just risked catching fire because this wait is going to be way more painful.

Ive seen them constantly appear on ebay too for crazy cheap bids = $500 but the sellers keep closing their accounts. so looks scammy.

 

[ManoisEscobar]

Looks good! Do you import them fully assembled directly from China or is there tinkering involved? Any issues with reliability thus far?

Once upon a time, Tony Abbot said nice things about bicycles. I want that Tony Abbot back...

He still rides regularly, I'm sure if questioned he's sta..... Wait who I'm I kidding he would initiate a bicycle buy back and burn program if it meant more votes lol.

I actually built a 2000w kit for Mr Abbott. I guess he won't be emailing me any more now that he's PM.
He did say that the power of the motor offests the aerodynamic drag caused by his ears quite nicely

 

[t3sla]

You just won the game of ebike life.

After this drink driving scandal it looks like Abbott is doing everything to cover-up his road crimes. Such corruption.

Look at the great lengths they've gone to photoshop out your motor. If you look closely at the body of the neck tie you can see it is a slightly different hue than the part protruding beneath the frame. Otherwise the image is flawless- whoever did this was a professional.
