    Winter Sucks

    "This system will likely produce more than a foot of snow" woohoo rock! Blowing snow and subzero cold This storm brings the season’s first transition to deep winter. High winds will cause blowing snow and difficult travel across most of Minnesota.

    MXUS GDR19-FAT - Most powerful geared motor?

    For what it's worth, I've been running several MXUS motors for nearly a decade now. Both have been excellent performers. One a 1000W Direct Drive will run on 36, 48, or 52V depending on controller. The other a small Gear Drive 36V small enough to be stealthy and can push my hulk along at 20MPH...

    Considering A Windshield Or Fairing For Winter Riding

    Well that's really not true. THERE ARE4 SUCCESSFUL FAIRINGS. One of the best makers has sadly lost his hardware guy. I have had several windscreens with fair to mis; and results. In the end they are more nuisance than they are worth in the current market. A clever fellow with metal work and...

    6v vs. 12v Light

    What? With modern LED lights that's not quite true.

    Have you seen the Grin, eBike.ca hub motor on his sailboat?

    Reflective Jacket

    I'v finally gone reflective sashes. Now If I can a 3M Solas sash... Being a year round rider, 100F to 10F, they are a better fit.

    Ebike for towing

    Typical one bike wonder. That fella has helped more noobs than youve demeaned. One hell of a large group.

    Hello! and I think I want to build my very first ebike(compact cargo)!

    Man be certain it’s a trike that will run well with a hub motor. $1500 in a trike and top shelf motors that completely sucks.

    Would like to go faster

    Lots of builds out there but remember the brakes were specified for a 12-15MPH ride. As usual Harry has the best idea IMO, but riding in the 30MPH range calls for better brakes. I updated to Avid cable discs, but it Magura hydraulic this winter. I like being able to stop and feel much more...

    Would like to go faster

    You're severely limited buy the low end components. Maybe @harryS has some input. But 7 years of doing support and more than a dozen builds... There's no simple path. If you can throw more money that the bike is worth at it...

    Would like to go faster

    You may or may not be able to tweak and gain some speed, but more often than not, especially with store bought eBike the upgrade path is either nonexistent or very expensive. You bought a budget bike, I'd not call it inexpensive, I'd call it cheap and with low end parts. NOT a candidate for...

    Quietest motor?

    Any motor. Just adjust the hearing aid frequency.

    Winter Sucks

    Trike is rolling. From eBike to eMobility. The frame seller has bombed and I'm now well aware of the weaknesses. That said the project moves ahead and improves. Successive approximations. Practice the form until you gain the essence. Darn designer, now questioning whose design, blows smoke...

    Winter Sucks

    Truth be told I preferred my 3 dirtboats. BTW the land speed record recently got boosted. To lazy to look and bad memory, but 138.21 MPH sounds about right.

    On cold days, below 32F I wear an old 700 fill goose down parka. Dress like hard water sailors!
