Recently had my first hub motor fail. Bionx D500 with 3000kms on it...with a 315lb down to 270lb rider up top. Made the mistake of attempting a 18% grade uphill climb on it. If this was a more universal model motor (like a 9C or MAC motor for example) I would be both more likely to open it up...

I have 7 bikes currently, 5 of them DIY ebikes. It's been a great journey thus far and thankful to my friends on EBR this summer since I joined. I understand the draw to Mid-Motor with a belt drive, perhaps a 3 or 5 speed hub in the rear. I haven't tried mid motors (yet) as I have had fantastic...

Interesting thread and I was not aware of this type of seat until reading it, thank you for sharing. Just asking, for those who have these seats, have you tried a seat like this previously? https://www.sellesmp.com/en/avant.html My friends and I call them the eagle beak type of seat. They are...

Impressive....and a whole lot cheaper than the Burley COHO XC I purchased last year, lol...but I'm good at strapping electronics onto a bike, not so much at building things like this...so I can appreciate the creator's work for sure.

Your 500 Watt rated bike is likely it's nominal wattage rating and actually able to produce up to 1000 watts (or more) at the highest setting under full throttle. Keep that in mind unless you're sure your setup is capped at 500 watts peak power of course. I suppose this may sound like a...

I'm one step further removed from test riding...as I enjoy building my own DIY ebikes...it's a little heart stopping the first time I get out for even an around the block ride on the next bike I have built...but when everything works and fine tuning is complete - so worth the stress. :-)

Brilliant setup. Impressive.

Just got the stem a few weeks ago and done multiple 5ish hour rides, loving it. Went for a 3 hour ride one one of my other ebikes on a rail trail without the stem and boy did I miss the redshift stem. Now I have to decide how many more stems I buy (and seat posts) versus how many of my bikes to...

Amazing story, you are a true inspiration to all of us. My father survived a triple by-pass heart attack 10 years ago (he was 56) this month. I'm thankful everyday he is still with us. March 2019 at my heaviest I weighed 52lbs more than he ever did at his heaviest and my doctor told me (I was...

The friendliest days meeting other cyclists I ever had was when I least expected it. Fat Tire biking on groomed trails at a cross country ski resort that advertises and caters to Fat Bike riders as well. Each time I went to this resort there was other fat bike riders there typically in...

Feel your pain. I eventually gave up trying to make a pad on my truck's tailgate work and went with a bike carrier installed in the hitch. Later on (as some of my bikes got even heavier) I have used a tow behind utility trailer most of the time, swapping the ball out for the bike carrier only...

Sorry for the late reply, didn't manage to get back on here since last weekend - what a week. I will have a look at your file for sure...soon as I figure out how to look at it - this is an awesome task for me to figure out (I've programmed my phaserunners already for example and been meaning to...

You're on a great path. One note to share that I learned in my research - most Torque Sensor BB's are limited up to 52V setups. I have read stories about those running 72V and 84V setups - blowing their Torque Sensors. Don't have exact details as to 'why' - just wanted to pass along the insight...

Quick update to share in this awesome thread. Sorry if I'm repeating these details as I did read the thread quickly to catch up. Cane Creek had to cancel all orders of their eeSilk model this year due to supply chain issues. Got a full refund of my order and understood the challenges of 2020...

I was all set to help djc, but then realized (thank you for being clear in your post) you are far away from me in Ontario, Canada - where I thought for a second you meant London, Ontario, Canada. I have CA3's on two bikes now and spent extensive time learning their setup for my 2WD projects...

I have some first hand experience I can share. 8-) I have several new DIY projects on the go and look forward to sharing them when complete here to my EBR friends. On my main road bike I did try a low cost (under $30CDN) PAS to have the experience and as a 'spare' that would be easy to install...

My LBS suggested a pair of rope lifts for my home shop. $30 Cdn each, can't find a link but will call him and get details to share. Each unit is rated for 300lbs. Took a while to figure a place to set them up and since this photo I added some lengths of chain to have the locking mechanism at an...

Because I have multiple ebikes and I'm helping friends with their ebike projects this year, I did pick up the Grin Satiator capable of up to 100V and 5A max to have a universal charger in my home shop. I have only used it thus far when I was working on a friend's DIY 72V setup with him at my...

I have too many bikes....lol. 3 of my current fleet of 7 are fat tire models. One Bionx (RWD), one non-electric and for this winter I'm building a custom 2WD Surley Pugsley running Nate tires. Last winter I road the Bionx around 10-12 times and the non-electric only twice. I'm in SW Ontario for...

What type of controller do you have? Are you riding an OEM bike and looking to replace a failing PAS? Or?
