I do remember enough to know that the angles of the spokes on a front wheel form an isosceles triangle, but because of the dishing on a rear wheel, the spokes form an irregular triangle. I would've just winged it,.. tightening every second spoke a ¼ turn and loosening the others ¼ turn. Just...

Every spoke is bent at the rim/nipple. I stuck my camera in the spokes to take pictures,.. I figure that the rim isn't designed for the boost spacing along with shorter spokes going to the motor. (A mid-drive or front wheel has longer spokes.) The nipples can't pivot in the rim holes to...

I got a better deal on my compressor. It's got three 2000 mah cells in series, (6000 mah total) so it runs directly off a 12 V car accessory outlet if the batteries croak. And it was almost half the price. Yours does have a Staggering 27 Cylinders Mounted in the Cylinder Block though...

The link in the other link worked,.. Golf cart stuff is great to use on an ebike. It's all built more like a proper car part. I've got a 48V Golf Cart Fuel Gage,..

I like this part,.. That's a good idea 💡!! It might eliminate the need for a USB outlet? And I figure it's more waterproof and durable? (Your blue "This" link didn't work for me??)

I bet I got some of that lateral tensioning going on with my 12 gauge spokes ?? The spokes are torqueing over sideways to tension the spoke.

Yeah, that's what I do. You can always attach zip ties somewhere to make pointers out of them. I like to use the center of the tread. I figure that's what counts the most. OMG !! If I had to learn the Pythagorean Theorem all over again, it would take me a month of studying to straighten a...

I'm don't know about your throttle but my Das-Kit throttle had the connectors reversed (male-female) AND the throttle works backwards. Full throttle normally sends maximum voltage (~4.2 VDC) to the controller, but my throttle sends minimum voltage (~1.0 VDC) to the controller to get Maximum...

You posted while I was typing,.. The buck converter I posted only has one output, but you can dial up a voltage or set the DIP switch. A buck 12V buck converter like @6zfshdb posted, along with a plug-in 12V USB charger for a car, is probably a better option. You can gut the plug-in USB...

@6zfshdb Posted a much better option if you want to install it On your ebike. The one I linked to probably couldn't deal with the vibration and variable outdoor temperatures, and it Certainly can't get wet. It's got a little built in fan that needs to breathe and would probably suck in dirt...

On a related note, I fixed my noisy fridge fan motor,.. It turned out that the felt feeding oil to the sintered metal bushing had dried out, then the axle seized in the bushing and the bushing started to spin. I polished the blue glazing off the axle shaft, reoiled the felt and got it going...

That's true, but it is a trike with brakes on both rear wheels. I figure that the OP should be OK with just the rear brakes unless he's got long steep hills to deal with, then upgrading the rear brakes would be my next step, before adding the front brakes into the mix. A bike shop would...

Good call 👍👍🏻,.. That looks like it's built for for the job. My link is more for bench top use, and it's not waterproof.

You can use one of these to convert your 48V battery output to 12V if that helps ? I wouldn't actually try to pull 20A/1200W out of it though, or you'll smoke the thing. Running it at about half the rated power is always a good idea. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrfGEIP You can use the...

I have a hard time leaving well enough alone. I am forever fixing things that ain't broke until I try to fix them. 😂 Speaking of which, my wheel with the "bent" spokes has been fine now for over 3700 km and me messing with the spokes more than a few times. I know I should just leave it alone...

Your trike has a 500 pound weight capacity so that leaves you with up to almost 200 pounds in your rear rack. The rear rack is centered behind the rear axle, so that 200 pounds will weigh down the rear wheels, while making the the front lighter than when your rack is empty. That's...

I always try to aim for "Good Enough" I've fallen down too many 🐰 🕳's. 😂

They'd probably at least swap his brake lines for him?

I swapped my brake lines a month ago. It was quite easy to do. I wanted my rear brake lever to be on the left side.
