Let me know what you think.

From the video, looks nice. What do you have there ? Motor, battery...?
Put some pictures and details of the bike.

Don't you ever worry about trees jumping in front of you?
Pretty fast. How fast is it?

Hard to say which is better done, the bike or the vid. No surprise the bike is immaculate, look at the other toys. Bet you have a pilot certificate. Mabye an A &P too?

Really nice vid, I rarely watch one that long to the very end. I liked the CA view cam mount, but the CA needs a tilt back to the camera. Cool to see when you grab throttle, when you grab brake.

Easy to see why you went hardtail, those are some baby butt smooth trails for the most part. Thudbuster helps a bunch on your ass I'm sure. Here, in the southern and most rocky part of the rocky mountains, I tend to stand the pedals even with full suspension. More for trials like handling than to save my butt though.

I see the controller in in the box. Is the box metal? Looks like it would heat sink fine if it is. Wet riding a lot more often for you than for me. Send us some water, all our forest is still dying fast.

For a brief moment in the past, I did fly commercially. Just another expensive hobby now..

I had a hard time cutting all of the footage down to 8 minutes and ironically an even harder time making the music track 8 minutes long.... In hind sight, I think a 6 minute video would have been perfect...

The footage of the camera right next to the wheel was about 70km/hr. That was shot afterwards. It was a short ride as I had just cranked up the amperage to 55amps and the phase wires subsequently melted together and I blew a few caps and mosfets.. The wires have since been upgraded to 10AWG silicone. They don't even get warm now, hmm.. looks like 60amps will be next. 62km/hr was the fastest I went other than that footage. The box is made of 3/32 aluminum and the side panels from 1/16. I painted the box with a 2 part epoxy propeller paint.

I now regret making a hard tail bike, so bike number two, a full suspension D/H bike is currently on the work bench. Going to give the Turnigy lipo's a try this time. I Just need to research what the highest voltage I can run a HS3540 at without sacrificing reliability and I will go with that voltage..

Thanks for the compliments Dogman..

I will definitely change the angle of the CA for the next video's..
