GCinDC said:woah. cromotor there?
did you add a brace in the triangle?
Philistine said:That looks badass, love the all matte black and the cromotor.
My mate has a similar setup using the same Falcon EV bag, on a Kona Stinky (very similar frame setup as yours), and he has no probs with it at all. He has been getting slight chafing against the suspension on the bottom but nothing serious. He is really happy with the setup and in my opinion the falcon EV bag in a suspension frame like that is a great commuter option. Best of luck with it.
GCinDC said:did you get the cromotor laced? do you know what rim it is? looks bigger than a 20"..
and are those the croforks? i see dual disc adapters...
Philistine said:All I meant about the chafing issue Gensem was because my mate was stuffing his EV Falcon bag so full of LIpo and controller (I think he has about 12s3P and his controller and DC/DC converter etc.. all in there), that the bottom of the bag is pressing against his suspension in the triangle, so the bag is chafing a bit). Having said that he has been riding like that for 12 months at least with no issues. I hadn't noticed you were going the Oatnet route with the box on the forks, I imagine that will work well as well. Best of luck. Cheers, Phil.
so what spokes did you get?gensem said:I found an experienced motorcycle wheel lacer in Sao Paulo, so I gave up lacing the cromotor to a bicycle wheel. Its a 17" 1.4 moped rim with michellin moped tires, OD is about 23".

gensem said:OK... frame is broken...
I told the guy to go easy on the flame solder because we were just giving the swing arm "a heat". I now have a broken swing arm. grrrr
Hope I can come with a solution coz I dont trust a soldered swing arm. (ll post pic tmr)
Aluminum frames don't tolerate this procedures in a rule of thumb. With a cromota in the ass, worst...
Maybe build a steel swing arm with myamura, from Santo André (I think, but have the contacts...).
Do you know him?
neptronix said:Damn.. what a dream build! cromotor plus the battery mounting style that people are starting to get hip to..
I'd love to see how many lipos you can fit into that pelican & more info on how you get it to stay stable and not knock around.. i will have to do that on my pike's peak build to help prevent wheelies.
