Some people cannot handle lipo. Need to follow basic common sense rules. Better for you to go to something tamer. Good luck.
Byte said:A question for everyone: When stalling my bike in the garage, would it help putting a big fire blanket over it or something similar if the LiPos catch fire? Just don't want that my Dad's house burns away because of my fault...

I charge / discharge my HK lipos in a liposack - http://www.liposack.com/products.htm
Products like this shouldn't make you complacent about keeping an eye on things, but seem to contain a mishap pretty well if you take a look at their survivors page.

..what kind of brakes? Also, where on the fork did you mount your panniers?
I custom fastened the front panniers to the front forks with U-bolts to a custom steel battery rack I purchased from Electric Rider. The top U-bolt is above where the caliper mounts come out of the forks, although these are not used, they make for an excellent battery mounting solution...

The cat has healed all of his mouth wounds due to smoke inhalation and has regrown the hair on his front paws to where it looks like a "crew cut". He is doing extraordinarily well. Thanks!amberwolf said:How is your cat doing, Floont?
Unfortunately, I had blown the x5404 hall sensors in it after taking the voltage to 147VDC. It was a screamer until that failed. Then I went back to the tried and true 125VDC on an x5304.jkbrigman said:By the way Floont....thought I'd mention: Your Rear x5404 on full suspension Mongoose Blackcomb was a badass build man. It would be awesome for you to rise from the ashes with Headways or a LiMn chemistry.
