"The 12t has 12 windings instead of 10, so the torque happens at a lower speed than a 10 winding motor. Also the Mac 1000w had bigger windings than a bafang or other, so it is quite happy with 30 amps for a limited time." @indianajo I'm pretty sure both my geared hub motors are 10t (BAFANG and...

Back to the original topic of smoking Vados and riding ebikes,.. (I think that's what this thread's about?) I remember getting my first motorcycle in 1982, a slightly used 1982 Honda XR200R. I had riden it a bunch of times around my house when my friends and I took my dirt bike to their...

I have no need for speed anymore either. I think the fastest I've ever gone was about 48 kph down a hill? But there's almost no hills that are long enough or steep enough around me to see how fast my e-bike will go? I remember that, and that's why I bought the chin guards for my helmet...

I remember you mentioned that before, so I bought a set of pastels. My 30 yr old grease pencil was wearing down to a nub, and I only had one color,.. 😂 The grease pencil was hard to hold steady, and the tread kept taking huge chunks outta the pencil. By the time the pastels arrived, I didn't...

All wine pairs with any other wine when you're not eating and just wanna get drunk while saving a few bucks. Just mix and match for the color you prefer. We call it swamp water when we just get the cup at the restaurant to fill up with whatever softdrink we want. I mix in a bit of...

I thought I'd update this thread and let everyone know that you were right, and I needed to reseat my tire. I took a closer look at the alignment line on the tire and noticed that it was off my a mm or so on one side of the tire, while being off, in the opposite way on the other side of the...

That's why I call you Darth Vado, you work for the dark side now. But you're not my father, and my name isn't Luke. 😂 Yeah me too. I've had at least two naps today alone!! I should move to Mexico where siestas are part of the culture. I work on my e-bikes whenever I want, but I didn't wanna...

I remember riding in the front passenger seat of my sister's car to a wedding reception about 40 years ago, with my 7 year old nephew sitting on my lap. There was a seat belt law at the time, but this was a special occasion, and we had to get everyone to the reception. Shortly into the ride...

I smoked a Vado and thought of something but didn't know where to post it, so I thought I'd post it here. The problem I have with my hub motor is that if I lose speed going up hill, I lose most my power and torque as well, and the motor has drag from the cogging of the magnets. @indianajo...

I took a leap of faith, and I'm trusting my Schwalbe tires and ½ a quart of Flat-out on my new e-bike. No liners or inserts. The tires are Ebike rated as well.

I found the same thing. My Tannus inserts were completely squashed. One reviewer on Amazon posted a picture of a 9 mm long shard of glass that went through the tire and liner, and punctured his tube. (With a couple mm of it still in the tire.) The only real reason I bought the Tannus inserts...

I didn't know that. I installed Tannus inserts then added Mr. Tuffy tire liners and ½ a liter of Flat-out sealant to each tire. The Tannus inserts are between the tube and Tuffy liners though. I've gone over 5000 km with no flats. Now I want to check my tires to see if the liners chewed into...

Just an FYI,.. There are seatpost adapters available that allow you to fit any seatpost into any frame,.. The Suntour NCX seatpost has a newer model with a larger diameter seatpost, at 30.9 mm. (And a larger diameter spring inside also.) I just bought a softer spring for my NCX...

Most ebike batteries do not have a balancing BMS. If they do have a balancing BMS, they either have an Active or Passive Balancing function.

I found this one,.. it looks a bit more sturdy. I don't like how both designs have set screws to clamp the "seatpost". I could probably use the quick release mechanism from the bike frame with an adapter to pinch the seatpost and make a stopper? The pipe diameter looks like it might be too...

I Like It !!! I bought one. I've been using a bucket, a milk crate, and a homemade stool. What I really want to get is a tripod stand that my seatpost would slide into and clamp. Everybody has a quick release seatpost. All we need is a collapsible tripod to connect to it to turn it...

Honestly, I don't think this is going to work out for you. The entire weight of the battery is on the four plastic screw mounts on the cover,.. The straps are pulling the cover closed, but there's still going to be vibration and movement at the screw mounts. You could just try it and see...

I'm thinking that the battery might wobble as your riding? If it does, something like "metal fatigue" or "plastic fatigue" might eventually break something. Keep a close eye on it, especially during the first few test rides. My battery was bouncing around in the battery brackets, and the...

I think you should put some black silicone tape between the metal strap and the plastic housing. XFasten Silicone Self Fusing Tape 1-Inch x 36-Foot (Black) Silicone Repair Tape https://a.co/d/azCrMRz I'd be concerned about vibration and jarring from the heavy battery scraping and maybe even...

I spent over $350 CAD on flat protection for my first e-bike. Tannus inserts, Mr. Tuffy tire liners, and Flat-out. It's still worth the money in my opinion. A flat tire can cost you a lot more money, especially if you lose your temper. 😂
