    both assist and throttle disappeared on a steep hill

    My rear Bafang hub motor cut for few seconds when I do donuts on gravel, but never stop on a hill. I always thought, no proof, that the controller or the BMS tried to protect the battery like JES2020 wrote : low voltage cut off.

    Parallel battery charging?

    I would disconnect the Y connector and use 2 chargers for twice the speed, 2A bikes chargers are cheap. Although I use 2 Lipo balance chargers, It's what I do with my 2 x 12A 22.2v Lipo batteries in series bike. I very often use batteries in parallel in my RC heli and planes. Healthy...

    Elite Cruiser line

    When I see those sturdy heavy bikes, they look like they were designed for a commercial use like a rental fleet in bigger cities. I think they are needlessly heavy for a personal use, except for the oversize rider. It's a path for future discussions...🧐

    It's the marketing department calculation, they juggled the figures to make the reality more acceptable. To my knowledge there is no bike carrier on the market strong enough for 2 Sondors Elite bikes even if we remove the batteries for transport. Even the $1000 Thule is limited to 132 lbs. The...

    Custom built board track racer

    It's the essence of the project, a modern electric tribute to the time when bicycles and motorcycles shared a lot of parts. Street legal, no permit, all cycles path accessible are more practical reasons to do it.

    Custom built board track racer

    Hi, I just finished this custom built board track racer recreation. The frame, coaster brake hub and chain transmission come from a 1940-50 Sunshine Canadian bicycle completely restored. I made the fake motor, double fork and seat post with aluminum. The motor base hide all the wires except...

    I modified the kick stand with an aluminum tube over it. I used the front light once and I was pleased with the result.

    Known Issues & Problems with Michael Blast Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Hi , I'm also a Greaser owner (500W,48v,14.5A). I got mine 4 years ago and it's still going strong after many rides. The only problem I had was the battery fell from the mounting plate when plastic brackets broke. Because it's invisible and I don't need to remove it, my battery is now...

    From another point of view, the standard weight of double suspension aluminum downhill MTB is 34 lbs. +. M620 =12 lbs + battery21A= 11 lbs. I am at 57 lbs. + electric accessories + frame modifications an strengthening .. Maybe 65 lbs ? That 84 lbs is hard to explain, it's not negligible, it's...

    I also bought a Rockstar (end of may delivery). I am quite surprised by the new 84 lbs weight. I owned a personalized 500W Greaser E-bike, a vintage motorcycle recreation with a very long 56" wheel base and 3 horizontal frame tubes, full steel fenders, fake tank, double post fork, 3" tires...
