You bet, let me know how you like them.

Unfortunately, AFT is really upset with me. It's just sitting on the floor and getting very jealous. She doesn't know this yet but may sell her. This bike is exceeding all my expectations where I live. I will use funds to keep upgrading this bike.

or you could upgrade your AFT to the new TITAN series ? i saw online coming soon :

Seems they have an EMAX 2 higher efficiency option with sinewave controller, hardened gears and

it mentioned a vented splash protected motor so i think that's how they get more power out of the motor.

 

[drew12345]

Wow, thanks for the info. Haven't checked their site in a few months. Good stuff.

Great build.
Lurking, taking notes on my flux build.
Hope you don't mind me stealing your build ideas.

 

[drew12345]

Glad to help in any way. Look forward to your build.

Haven't been posting lately. It's been a lot of snow this winter and current setup doesn't do well in snow. I will have to go back to spikes next year. Work has been killing me also.

I'm going to get this thread back up-to-date. Adding below pics and vids from other threads I posted so I can keep this thread up to date latest going on with my bike. So these are old pics/vids. New ones coming soon.

This is front tire I'm using now. Much better grip.

Here are latest pics of my ride. Working on vid. Bike has been running pretty well. The only real problem was a flat in my moped tire. Oh, I did move my bike into basement instead of garage to keep it warm.

 

[John Bozi]

got to be unlucky to get a flat with moped tyres...

puncture or pinch?

 

[drew12345]

Mr. Bozi, long time. Although been watching all your awesome vids and upvoting them.

Actually I'm not sure about the tire. I had a slow leak and would be flat by end of 2nd day. I took the tube out and dropped in bucket of water and no bubbles. So not sure what's going on. I just replaced it.

BIke is nice Drew, when you checked your tube, did you also check the valve stem itself? I had one bad valve stem core. Tire would go flat every two days. I replaced the valve core after I couldn't find a leak and that solved the problem. Just curious about yours.

 

[drew12345]

Thanks Rix. I bet it was the valve and only when it was pumped up and under pressure. It was only slightly pumped up when I dunked it. Thanks for the tip.

 

[drew12345]

Went for short ride today. Took it slow and enjoyed the country. Love riding electric bikes so much.



Found this on the trail. I think it's deer skull.

 

[ozman]

4.9kw and 44mph that's not that slow good to see you're still enjoying your latest creation.
What is the temperature around you're way at the moment?

 

[drew12345]

Thanks Oz. It was around 75 F/24.9 C. It was a gorgeous day. I would say spring is here.

I see my motor temps starting to go up though. I think I was around 115 C for both motor and controller.

Having a lot of fun on the bike. It was a really nice ride. Nothing but farms and hardly any cars. And most of time was riding around 25 mph/ 40 kph to make my battery last.

I really need to get a schlumpf. That is my next purchase. Need to see if they make in 100mm.

 

[ozman]

I think Hyena had some ATS drives mybe Rix could get one for you

I think Hyena had some ATS drives mybe Rix could get one for you

Even though ATS and Schlumpf are the same, ATS doesn''t offer a 100mm bottom bracket spindle, Schlumpf however does. If Jay has any Schlumpf left, they would be for 68mm BB. I will check with Jay to confirm this hasn't changed since the fall of last year.

 

[drew12345]

Thanks Rix. I pinged hyena along with a few shops in the US.

 

[drew12345]

I do this all the time but for some reason, it felt really, really good on this day.

NIce Drew, I do that all the time as well, fun and funny.

 

[drew12345]

Here is speed run with metrics. Coming down hill so speed is faster than normal.
