The basic frame member is done 4 lengths of 1" EMT MIG welded together, total out of pocket cost (plus my time welding $0.00) was $26.00. I tested the deflection in the center of an 8 foot span 200 lbs. equals .09375". This frame for it's small size (diameter) is very strong. Total weight of...

OK...so I need a challenge would really like to build a long distance capable recumbent tandem. So I'm going to build one from scratch. Just starting the project and expect it will take me through the winter to finish. The only design spec. I've settle on for certain is to use 3 eight foot...

I assume they would do anything you like. I bought the programing cable because I have changed the variables three or four times to get the function of the motor to match my riding style. It's not easy to get everything perfect on the 1st pass. Court J.

Agree!!!!:D Court J.

If you are so inclined you can order the programming cable and change several of the control parameters that would effect over stressing. For instance; my last DIY was the BBS02 750W 48V with the Luna 52V Shark. When I programed the controller the 1st thing I did was change the amp limit from...

That will be one fast, powerful bike! Let us know how the conversion goes. Court J.

I think you risk overheating the controller and/or motor. I'm assuming when you are riding up that steep grade the rear wheel is turning very slowly? If that's the case you will be placing maximum energy into a very slow turning geared hub, not really the best situation. Court J.

N380 is the "new" version. Yes the kit includes everything IGH, cables, shifter and required hardware. Court J

??? This one is a first. The bottom bracket from the manufacturer should have been OK. 1. The chain is offset when in a high gear and causes vibrations at high speeds. 2. The drive shaft of the motor is moving vertically within the bottom bracket when applying force to the peddles...

Wow...that is expensive. Court J.

Like all things mechanical I think the N360 will work very well if you use common sense. I have only ridden the 36V/500W N360 bike a total of 60 miles with the N360 installed so I can't provide you with a long history, but I can tell you that the hub works as advertised, it's smooth and...

If you are looking for a great DIY mid-drive the BBS02 750W is a good place to start. To eliminate all of the drive train wear issues you can use an IGH instead of the rear cassette and derailleur set-up. I was changing chains every 1K miles and cassettes around 2K miles. I have two BBS02...

That would work. Court J.

How much weigh will you be carrying? Ebikes are fairly heavy and aren't anything you want to pedal up grades without battery assist. For you, an appropriately sized battery is probably one of the most important things to consider. Court J.

The 12AH battery will give you at least 35-40 miles on Eco riding average grades. Congratulations.........have a great time riding your Carbon. Court J.

I have a 2013 Carbon. The 12AH battery is an upgrade from the original battery which is nice. I think the asking price is too much, there are a lot of great bikes out there in the $2,000 to $3,000.00 range. I would keep looking. Court J.

If the system is watertight it's irrelevant whether it's fresh water or saltwater, no infiltration, no short circuit.. When electric circuits are exposed to water (salt or fresh) there is the risk of a short circuit. Best practice; waterproof the motor, battery and electric components. Court J.

That depends upon the bike. I have been caught in downpours on 5 occasions in the last 2 years on three different bikes. In all but one instance it was commuting home. I was soaked and the bikes were exposed to a lot of rain, road spray puddles, no problems. Court J.

It's an excellent motor! Court J

At this point buying a new bike is a better option. If you try to repair all the problems you have with the bike, it will cost as much as buying new. Court J
