What in the world? Have you seen a messageboard community before? Answers come ONE PERSON at a time. Not only do people not speak for the community, they don't speak at all if they don't want to. However, the point is you're not supposed to complain about it being that way.
As for interest in the sound system, that's always going to be individual, probably not something you want to leave to asking people when they're not buying at the moment.
I remember we were wanting to screen some wannabee short videos in the Hollywood area, my thought was to bounce a projector off the wall in some dead end alley. We had a projector which would run on batteries, but how would we have sound without plugging in?
Enter 'The Reverend Jimmy.' Actually a student at what you might call 'Divinity School.' Jimmy had a turbo rice rocket with a high powered sound system that required a 143 amp alternator, just like in my 6.6 liter diesel. And not two but THREE batteries. Jimmy was of the 'Faith by popular demand' denomination.
And here I had this FM adapter I used when I wanted to listen to books on tape from the library in my car, etc. I plug it into the output jack of my portable tape player and a car radio can pick it up. Or in this case, the output of the projector. He opens his doors, VOILA! Sound for the flock. Er, AUDIENCE.
Now, what did Jimmy need that sound system for if not for our impromptu film festival? He didn't know, he just wanted it. He had a great time coming to the show, he loved telling these street racing stories that sounded like 'Fast and the Furious' meets BMWfilms.com. Always with a spiritual message at the end.
So there is the real answer about your sound system on the bike. If someone wants to, say, DJ in public, he might go for a system built into the bike. Someone might have a specific use. But only time will tell. You'll never know for sure by asking on a messageboard.
So what's with Lenk and everybody? I think you might have put them off.

I used to have a comp sound system that I threw field parties with and DJ's would jack into my car. I put my self half through collage with that money.
I'll also point out that I'm open about the fact that general society deems me insane. I have an excellent track record in accomplishing anything I set out to do though.

I think the problem you are facing and going to face is the very bold proclamation,
Paradigm Systems: the gateway to the electric revolution. You probably lost 75% of the community on your title and first post alone.
You need to show some sort of idea of what your lingo means. You say a lot of things that don't make sense to me and I assume others. This central core brain unit control modular power plant for $200-$300 that is 6kw capable and offers a built in stereo interface and google glass capability? Yet is user friendly.
There are so many examples of nonsense talk that I don't want to quote, for fear that it would appear I'm attacking you.
Your wanting to add all these various systems that require a computer control system. Have you every ridden or built an ebike? I find the beauty in the simplicity. You are attempting to create the most complex system I've ever heard of. Only I still can't make sense of what it is exactly that your trying to create.
You also come across as over confident, and challenging of our acceptance of your skills.
Showing some of the projects or work that you have done in the past will have people take you more serious and not the dreamer that you appear to be.
I don't think you are going to get any meaningful help, from anyone skilled enough to help, until they know what they are helping you with.
Good luck to you.

I am kind a cocky but have an exceptional success rate accomplishing what I set out to do to backup it up. I'm not going to post a full resume of my life here but my job is very open ended and will document some of my services and daily activities If you want. You want to know what I have done? This is not a place I feel like documenting my life but you can have a professional over view... I am currently a Hi-Rail mechanic and I am preparing to work on diesel electric trains too, my official title at work is Resident Mad Scientist awarded to me by my friend Meghan the owner of Hem's Truck & Auto. I have a section of the shop designated for myself and have equipment integrated through out the place. Hem's Truck & Auto and Paradigm System are in a partnership for automotive work under their name and manufacturing work under Paradigm Systems. I have never built an ebike but have been on 3 EV conversion teams. Prior to this I have been a commercial private investigator and insurance adjuster, I owned a commercial carpentry outfit in DC doing high security installs in government buildings, I was a very well rounded environmental chemist (both production testing and research studies), and I was in the US Army as a Nuclear/Biological/Chemical specialist... I'm picking up a little resentment and I understand I'm new hear. This is not my hobby it is my life in addition to many other projects and services. How about ya sit back and enjoy the ride or chill out and do something productive.

Your shop looks like a typical grease monkey shop. How do you expect to work on complicated electric bikes and invent new things? You never even built an ebike yet.
It took me a lot of time just to get where I am in my understanding. I still have so much to learn.
Your first post in this thread reads kind of like those internet companies in the 2000's dotcom bubble. Lots of talk without a real understanding of what the heck you intend to accomplish.

Yet many of of those startups changed our daily life and had a significant impact on the way we live our lives.
- Wikipedia
- Skype
- Craigslist
- Ebay
- Vente-Privee
- Linked In
- Go Daddy
This list just to mention a few companies that once was small and ended up big. Cos we have other big hitters if we go even further back, like Microsoft, Apple etc. And as for later years we have twitter, facebook, pintererst, netflix etc.
We have so many successful startups to choose from that is impossible to list em all. So I will for the fun of it just end this post by
naming a few categories that have multiple successful sites all over the world.
- Online stock trades.
- Various Online gaming
- Various listing sites still going strong and making money
- Alle them P2P startups
- Online Casinos
- Porn sites
- Variety of skype clones or even full blown digital PBX's.
Many of these companies started up in a garage, moms basements or in a dorm room. Very few of them had professional backing in the very early stages and all of these had dramatic impact on the way we all live our lives today.
You sir are a judging a book by its cover. You draw your final conclusion without knowing the whole story and what will come out of this. In my mind that is both a weak analysis and poor judgment on your part sir.
Sure it might turn out belly up, no sale and no backers. But what I've learned is to never brush of people who say they can make significant changes without giving them a chance to prove themselves right. And if he is partial right it might very well be that he ends up changing the way we cover our transports for a sounder and healthier future.
And as a general rule of thumbs you should all be positive towards any startups these days that might be able to create new jobs in your country. Outsourcing and global movements have taken too many jobs away already both in US and EU.

The shop I work out of is not a generally clean place but is far from average. There are a few grease monkies, machinist and myself. I am neither a mechanic or machinist, I am hear to work on rail equipment, EV service and develop products. I have yet to see an overly complicated ebike, and i did work with two other people to build an electric motorcycle. Your placing too much weight on the semantics of building a bike, I used to build bikes all the time when I was a kid. I started this page to make announcements not defend myself. I posted my projects of the day, none of which are out of the box common encounters at your local shop If you actually look at and understand what is being worked on. There is a retractable rail wheel system being installed on a truck, a 250Vdc hydraulic over electric over hydraulic cairn, and a 2003 177Vdc Hybrid battery that I rebuilt. Being a document of what I happened to be working on that day, everything I encounter is different and we specialize in custom unique systems & instillation's. I am a constant student and dedicate a tremendous amount of time to legitimate research, I don't or expect to know everything so I have a network of resources to handle what I cant. I am not some sheltered theoretical scientist, my first scientific job was with the military working in hot zones doing cleanup . I also have to do something for a regular income and I enjoy the things that I do. I hope to soon be working on locomotives and to me that sounds like a lot of fun. I'm not sure you really understand the requirements of developing new products and designing computer systems. I grew up with my mother developing industrial robotics in the dining room. This is a wonderful environment for sparking new ideas and developing new products. I promise products that I end up shipping out will be clean even though the commercial shop they were produced at was kinda dirty. I think these conversations are dominating and crowding a thread that was meant for announcements and collecting feed back. I'm not getting any intelligent feed back here just trollish and unimaginative vomit.

While no doubt that a large successful company can be started out of your home or shop, see Mr.Honda. To me a perfect example of a man who revolutionized the motorcycle industry. He made motorcycles reliable, cheap and most importantly appealing to a mass US and European market. In America he made the motorcycle, a fringe element of society, not unlike ebikes, a very appealing mode of transport. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" that got a lot of users using. All other manufactures had a new benchmark they had to compete with or disappear. Witness the demise of so many brands from the 60's on.
I think the main point is that those companies you listed had a product to sell. So far I see no product from this company nor a clear vision of the product that they intend to produce. Lots of buzz words and optimism, but little reality.
That's where the dot.com comparison is apt.
For every late 90's/2000's success there were hundreds if not thousands of smooth talking, money grabbing dreamers that were looking to profit from the internet revolution.

I dont want just positive feedback but I do want worthwhile feedback. I hear what ya'll are saying and I see a lack of imagination, an elitist perspective, and disapproval of me putting everything I got into updating the LEV industry. I see a very small contingent of this community who like to get involved with threads and for some reason want to challenge and criticize my ambition.

No one here is challenging or criticizing your ambition. In my opinion that's your strongest trait.
Unfortunately, imagination is most often beat by reality. You want to create something that I've never heard anyone ask for. I've read most all threads on here since 2008. Some want better integration of battery, BMS, charger, controller, none want the complexity or expense. Reality. Optibike tried to combine all the drive components in one unit on their SIMBB concept. Unless I missed something that remained a prototype. Likely from the reality of heat management and or engineering dollars.
Look to the best or leading ebike companies, take Bosch for example and the integration of their components.
Do you think that with all the resources, engineering and financial, available to one of the biggest global corporations, that they haven't done their market research and understand what the market will accept and embrace. Consumers want simple interface, reliability, and removable battery. They want it to be as much like a regular bicycle as possible. To not be able to take your pack in to charge at the office or hot swap your pack, eliminates you from a large slice of the consumer pie.
E.S. is too small of a specialized community for you to gauge public acceptance. Folks here either want to diy because of the passion or because the are cheap or because they bought a consumer bike that broke down and they need help fixing.
If you are to be successful financially and revolutionizing the electric movement you need to find out what your neighbour wants, what your dentist wants, what your college age child wants, how about the mail lady. They are the ones that you need to cater to to revolutionize.
If your throwing me in with the elitists, thank you. I've never been considered more than a mental case.
You came to a public message board asking to be treated different than everyone else. You asked for feedback and your gettin' it. Outside of a sale thread, you are exposed to all opinions. Good or bad. Like it or not.
You came to a shark pool of ebike enthusiasts from around the world and threw chum in the water.
Gonna need a tougher skin or learn to ignore. I think a blog or website will serve your ego better.
Without sarcasm, I wish you the best of luck and look forward to see what you have coming up in September.

1.& 7. Are the same issue. As a former military man I'm surprised. My grade 9 auto shop teacher was a tough as nails ex aircraft mechanic and soldier. Day 1. was spent walking HIS shop and having his expectations of what cleanliness was beat into our heads. Every single tool, every socket, every srcewdriver, had a corresponding home cut into a wood template that was wall or cabinet mounted. No grease on the floors, no parts scattered about. Parts were to be in the parts cage. You frocked with his system you payed. You know what? It worked, well. It was easy to focus on lessons, tools were easy to find, it was bright, it felt more like a laboratory than three lift shop. We were more productive. My retarded drug addled teenage mind was still able to strip down and rebuild a 80s 2l Toyota motor. To my shock it ran well, A+
I worked for a Honda manufacturing plant for a lil while. If you kept your shop like that , you would have had 7 non-English speaking Japenese men hurling curses at you.
People take a cleanliness seriously.
2. There certainly are overly complicated ebikes, but I guess that depends on your definition of complicated.
You claim we are "putting to much weight on the semantics of building a bike"... And that you built them all the time as a kid.
Building a balanced, polished ebike is more difficult than you know. Because, well, you have not built one.
I would argue that building a motorcycle is easier. The balance between bicycle and ebike can be difficult to achieve. Remaining light enough to feel like a bike but still a function-able ebike is tough.
Once you decide to drop the pedals and go motorcycle your balancing rope is a lil wider. The weight is always a factor, but less impactful than when limited in power. 750w, 500w, 250w like in most countries ebikes are.
It is a lot easier to hide components on a motorcycle than a bike. Finally a motorcycle was designed to be powered, a bicycle not. Until you go fast on a few ebikes you are just speculating on the difficulty.
3. Touched on in later post.
4. I/we didn't ask what you do for a living. That is really none of our business. We just want evidence of your related experiences to ebikes or electric motivation. In particularly your E.E., computer programming or system integration exp.
5. This is important. Just know that what your attempting to do with the revolution is at least two full time jobs worth of time.
6. I do not. I'm almost certain you don't either.

I completely fail to see what the point is for you to try to distract me from my goals and vauglely try to poke holes in my posts. The scope of this thread is clear and it was created at the request of others. I really dont have the energy or motivation engage in this psudo conflict. You absolutely put people down for their ideas on this site as well as try to plug up their imagination on build pages. In the 10 or so minutes I looked into your threads and post history I saw several instances. Theres no way I would spend the time to go quoting all the BS and perpetuate your desire for conflict.

You asked for feedback you got it. I'm not the only member trying to break you into reality, we tried gently, you got aggressive. I'm the only one that continued to engage you, others have already made their judgement and moved on.
That is what I will do until such a time that I see you try to fill newbie or uninformed minds with misguided advice. Then I'll post again to try to clarify your misinformation and grasp on reality to the best of my abilities.
You spent 10 mins and looked into my post history and found several instances of me putting people down or trying to plug up their imagination, show 2. No show 1.
10 mins on my 700+ posts. I'm sure you took in a lot. Another example of your though research and investigation skills.
I know you read at least part of one. As you felt the need to bring your anger from here to a completely unrelated thread that you think defines my personality or web presence and challenge my motives. Tactful.
I'd suggest you use the ignore feature on me, because what I have to say seems to rattle you to no end.
Finally don't PM me. I am an open guy and will post any further PM's to a new thread so that the truth can be seen.
I have nothing to hide. You can't bully me into silence. I will only raise my voice louder.
The great thing about a public forum is that many people can offer differing opinion/advice, then one can take all that info in, research it's validity and make an informed decision. I believe you have become uncomfortable with the information this thread provides, but you have no one to blame but yourself.

With all my investigative background I have found an easy approach is to just ask the question you have for someone assuming your in contact with them. I have not been excited enough by your little outbursts to actually invest time into figuring out who you are. My time iv valuable and I have yet to see a value in you. I didnt PM you to bully ya kid, it was an attempt to reason with you. You go ahead and type as loud as you want...
Making informed judgments has not been a strong point of yours. You openly admit to having no understanding of product development yet find fault in my approach. The support and enthusiasm I have gotten from manufacturers and vendors has been rather encouraging.
You and 'Questionman', who I have also noticed "tolls" the threads, got overly aggressive here. Unless you take confidence as aggression. I have not tried in any means to be abrasive with you, only to try to answer your questions in as little time as possible. This website is not my life and am very busy with my life and combating an illness I probably wont recover from. Others voiced their doubt and or opinion and moved on, you just seem to linger...maybe out of bordem?

Blah Blah Blah. More unsupported ramblings of a crazy person.
You quote a definition of "Internet Troll" accuse me of it, without clear evidence of, just your opinion.
It doesn't bother me, because I'm in a forum and it's one mans opinion. Your opinion holds no weight with me, no bother.
The best part is that you clearly did troll, by your definition, one of my unrelated threads earlier today.
See http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=53034&start=100.
I linger because you talk of investment in your OP. I've seen the damage that can be done to a community and individuals who mistakenly trust smooth talking(or in your case not so smooth), buzz word hitting, physics deifying dreamers.
Bad deals have happened here and it's not good. If I can help prevent that, I will.

Another word for you to look up. Psychosis. You totally disregard that you came LATE to the party and start pretending you're the host. People try to tell you what we're REALLY doing at this party and you become angry. Ah, yes, YOU will tell US how it's going to be. Nothing anyone has said caused you any derailment or flight of your ideas. That all comes from your condition. (He said "Open GUY," you twisting it is just another bad sign.)
It's funny how much trouble people are going to being nice to you and you become more and more rabid.
