Just wanted to share with you guys the link to my Kickstarter project to publish my eBike book. If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be, I'd appreciate the support!

You hit your goal, that's great! I hope you included the easy way to find one of the correct wiring combinations for a 3 phase motor brushless motor like most of our bikes use. If it talks about using a spreadsheet and trying 36 combinations, since it's an ebook, it's not too late to fix it.

Thanks! I can't believe I made the goal in less than three days.

And good question! Actually that's one of the places where I think my book is really much more helpful than just days of googling on the net and searching ES. I created an infographic that visually shows the different options so that beginners don't get confused trying to remember "wait, did I switch the yellow and blue, or the green...and was it the big wire or the little one..." etc.

The only problem is that it is color coded and so for the black and white print book I'm going to need to redo it with shading or textures or something.
