The FAA is worse to deal with than the IRS or the EPA. They rank right up there with the FDA. The FAA has for years thumbed their noses at the EPA over leaded gasoline. Virtually all piston aircraft still burn leaded gasoline. A teaspoon of lead in every gallon of gas drifting down on our...

FAA regs already in place. Must have pilots license.

Likely greater than 116 links is needed

Why not reprogram the BBS02 to max out just below 15 amps. It would solve the problem for now. I think you can reprogram the throttle for its range as well and keep the current max current draw.

I had one incident where a biker was unloading on a member of our riding group whom was on an e bike. An 80 year old type 1 diabetic. He remained cool and I was seat post lowered, in my lowest gear with the power set to max (1,700 watts) on BBSHS with my big fat bike with the Maxxis Minion...

That's not fair is something I never say. My father always said. If you hear the words "That's not fair, in any form, you are listening to a loser or worse yet, a zealous self appointed proxy for a fictitious loser.". I have never found that statement to be wrong.

Because I don't want to. On the trip last week I was pretty much the sag wagon. I carried the heavy loads for the second rider. The second rider carried a water bottle, a sleeping bag and a matt. The range on the second bike was not a good as mine and it help equalize the two bikes a bit...

That is a lot of windage in that trailer. A 10 mph headwind would kill you. The problem is I want dispatch (speed X distance known). So far I have not needed to carry a generator and doubt that I will. I simply have to work towards better mileage for longer jaunts. So far my max one day ride...

A 200 watt solar panel is more than a square meter and pretty much a sail and a pain to handle. At best it will realistically net you about 250 watt hours in the battery per day. That is about 10 miles It might work for a paved road setup in southern latitudes but not for trails with a canopy...

I guess when you take a break from these forums and come back in you have to get reoriented because you come back in with you latest bias. Yeah I am one the outside of the curve. the components vary from XO to GX level and the weight is not within commuter range. 425 lbs total, 2,538 watt...

Just took a trip stateside where I was using a 52V 15amp charger and two 48V 5 amp chargers on the same 120V probably 20 amp circuit. No problems.

The problem with making a real useful e motorcycle is the same problem with making a super capable e bike. power density and using up to much of the real estate and carrying capacity of the motor cycle just to carry the batteries. Power density is just not there to go 70+ mph for 100 plus...

This subject is all very frustrating to me. To me the difference between a motorcycle and an e bike is very clear. It became very clear to me when I started to design e bikes and pushing the limits. I discovered that the real problem with an e bike is that it is not a motorcycle. It's still a...

Another problem with pressing on a new bearing is the fact that the rotor has very strong magnets that will pick up any iron filings. Iron filings are a very common dirt around most presses in use. The magnets are strong enough that you might have great difficulty cleaning the rotor enough to...

Wear shown here. Caused Error 30 code.

I had a noise and just took mine apart. The shaft on the helical gear end is worn from spinning in the bearing race even though the bearing is not frozen up. The rotor must be replaced. might check yours for the same issue.

I build what I call health bikes. They are all cadenced sensed bikes, not torque sensed bikes because torque sensed bikes require you to put in energy you may not have or you might run dry in energy quickly while still out. A cadence sensed bike also acts as a therapy bike and can be used to...

If you chainline is good and your are willing to shift gears then there is no issue. I have a BBSHD driving a 11 speed 11X46 tooth cassette and often over 400lb. With a Liekie ring and good chain maintenance I get over 2000 miles out of a chain. You are not going to stress that BBSO2 just...

Our typical May weather has arrived. Mostly rain, wind and cool temperatures. I did 65 miles (104 Km) on Sunday and 70 miles (112 Km) today. Todays ride was west as there was not much wind, maybe 5-10 mph from the west. I rode to one of our local state parks and back. 100% roads, no bike...
