    I missed getting that 2010 pristine Globe Haul 1 because the potential new owner was getting on a plane and missed the window of opportunity. I love that Pea Soup Anderson green, the woody deck, and the integrated rack that holds 120-pounds. I'll have to keep my eye out. In 2011 they had a nice...

    Toseven DM02 500W Motor

    On my most recent DM02 build the battery would show three bars and the display would show half-a-bar. I used this chart to help sync them. Then I had to refine it. https://to7motor.com/product/t154-e-bike-centre-control-panel

    Just for fun...

    It is a holiday but my friend Christine has 7 friends with a new strain of COVID. I am staying away from crowds today. And finished this bike. It is so responsive and fun, better than any electric bike sold in stores. It is fast and climbs walls. Google search: Xtracycle DM02 conversion...

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    I just made an Xtracycle Bionx into a DM02. I welcome any and all to Google it. This thing is so lovely, responsive, lithe, and fast.

    Splice motor cable to controller.

    I just test rode that cargo bike with the DM02. It is so much fun, I am laughing. What a blast. I still need to shorten the display wire and program the display to match the battery, so the readout is accurate. It shows 1/2 a bar when it should show 3 full bars. It is thinking that it has a low...

    Still searching for the perfect ultra-light ebike kit for road bikes — here’s the idea in my head

    All I need to do is shorten the display wire and add the speed sensor wheel magnet to a cargo bike with a DM02. I just tested it. Lovely. Better than any in store bikes.

    I need to see it! I am just finishing a cargo with a DM02 and a Box 4 8-sp, 11-42. I will shorten the display wire in the morning. And do the programing. Then it is done. It was an Extracycle with a Bionx. I mixed three colors of paint to match for touch-up.

    Splice motor cable to controller.

    Crosstalk is a thing with Specialized bikes. They will jam a wire mess back on itself two or three times inside the down tube to make the exterior look clean. It is like polishing the outside of a pot while leaving the putrid mess inside. You get spotty issues. Just like CAT-5 that is not...

    Splice motor cable to controller.

    My cargo bike build is almost finished getting its DM02. I am soldering inside the battery holder. Then I will trim extra wire to the display. Then programing and testing. It got a Box 4 eight-speed 11-42 groupset. It has the range of an 11-speed but with a thicker a cheaper chain to maintain.

    Why do they put the black 5HIT on the black 5HIT? I did a trike controller yesterday. You are connecting upside down in a dark hole and where is the friggin' little black arrow? On some builds I have gone through and touched each connector arrow with a yellow ink pen before starting. And it is...

    It is just a spoke magnet to count rotations and to display speed. Also it can be input for smoothness or perkiness.

    Greetings from Italy! New to e-MTB scene

    See if you can demo a Levo. Shops will often deduct/credit the day rental price from the purchase of a bike. These bikes can also be incrementally upgraded with custom White Industries hubs and Santa Cruz carbon wheels, with wireless shifting... They do a good job for off-the-rack. Now a custom...

    Still searching for the perfect ultra-light ebike kit for road bikes — here’s the idea in my head

    The motor is in! I will need to splice in wire length because the cargo bike is so long to extend the speed sensor. Then I will need to triple stack wheel magnets in epoxy and shrink tube because the stays are so wide. It is an Xtracycle that had a Bionx. I once made a fishing lure from a worn...

    Still searching for the perfect ultra-light ebike kit for road bikes — here’s the idea in my head

    Off topic. I just got motors and started to work on a cargo conversion. The bike has Deore two-piece cranks and it takes a proprietary tool called a BBT 10.2 to remove them. I don't want to wait. So, I was able to use the handle of a toenail clipper instead.

    So you have been there. I sold Mitel and got a trip to Whistler.

    Still searching for the perfect ultra-light ebike kit for road bikes — here’s the idea in my head

    It was a thing here in Nor Cal about five years ago. Lightweight road bikes with front hub motors. They were often used by tour companies in the wine country and on the coast. We have big hills. I never got it. And yes, front hub motors are dumb. A guy had a $10,000 Lynskey with one. It looked...
