    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Wired Predator showed up couple days ago, getting it sorted. Took it out for a spin today. Tell you what, two hub motors spells crazy acceleration. Don't think there is anything practical about two motors, but the novelty is nice:)

    My Tire's Are Rotting !!??@$

    My Tire's Are Rotting !!??@$

    Too much pressure stretching the carcass? I noticed on my wired warrior airing it up to 30 psi the tire just kept getting bigger and bigger. I have a predator now and aired the tires up to 18 psi and they didn't get near as big. Some people are complaining about tire to fender clearance and I...

    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    The stock 203 brakes are pretty good. I installed 220 disc on the front and gonna put same on rear. Fixing some of the Chinese engineering at the moment. Took a file to the axle, it is soft, don’t think there is any hardening done to it. The threads into the frame are disappointing.

    Lot of room for ads on that website. Kind of like a spammer.

    Rear Rack Bag?

    I find the tool bags that come with the tools purchased like Milwaukee or Dewalt or others to work good. Some zip ties and something to reinforce the bottom and they make good heavy duty top bags.

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    When does Spec come out with the new crop of bikes? Out of all the bikes I have, big and heavy to the std, if I had to use one bike, it would be something like the Tero X. Cover all the bases but wouldn't run them particularly fast.

    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Had the rear tire off to change out the brake disc. That was a no go, the 220 floating rotor buttons that are between the mount and disc interfered with the motor, have to get a regular flat disc. Hope it is flat. Also was going to remove the cover on the motor, those torx bolts are very...

    Trump cancels trail, bike-lane grants deemed hostile to cars.

    The fed is going tits up, trying to cut costs, and the people complain about taxes. Manipulation at its best.

    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Well thanks for that read. My balancer looks like the one in Ravi's first post that he is looking at. I am charging right now, it doesn't mix the charge. One battery just went 100% and the other is still at 95%. That last 5% takes forever, then the amp draw drops to 4 or 5 which is...

    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Wonder how the balancer works for charging or is it just for depletion of the batteries. The front battery is 20 Ah the rear is 15 Ah, both chargers are 3.5. Are the batteries separate on the charging circuit so they don't see each other or does the balancer come into play.

    WTF! Why do people cheat on fitness apps?

    Why do people leave their dog s*it in a bag next to the sidewalk?

    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Did a scale of the Warrior. Total weight was 142#, 51.4 front and 90.6 rear. With myself on the bike, total weight was 322#, 107 front and 215 rear, me weighing 180#. So the tires rated at 198# max, the rear is overloaded.

    Shipping forward on my saddle

    I set mine level using a steel rule and digital level, from front to back, maybe tilted a little either way. One degree makes a difference. I use Obenaufs leather conditioner on my saddles. Be careful not to use too much, the leather will keep stretching. I've made a few stretch's with the...

    Balancing - Time-Consuming?

    Thanks for all the input! I do have a watt meter for the plug in, I'll have to check it out. My batteries are supposed to use Samsung 21700 cells and the chargers look top notch chinese stuff, the bike came with two chargers since there are two batteries.

    Balancing - Time-Consuming?

    Don't think there is any way to check current flow on my setup. How long should a guy leave them charging after the green light goes on using a 3.5a charger on a 20a and 15a 72v battery pack? For the most part I leave them at less than 80%, but occasionally do a full charge, intentionally or...

    Balancing - Time-Consuming?

    I charged a couple 72v batteries for the first time, it took longer during the last few percentages and assuming it was balancing, the time was maybe doubled but only by half hour or so.
