The difference in cyclists bodyes weights is more significant than difference in between an acoustic bike weight and an electric bike weight.

There is a bypassed version of X1Tool where you can adjust the voltage (cut off voltage), amount of the battery cells, power, etc. Krasnodar (the Innotrace X1 developer) told not to use it, but it looks like it works according to some people reports. Innotrace website is down and I guess...

Mine Kindernay VII leaks the same, I just ignore it, I'm OK with it, it looks like all Kindenay VII leak, this is how it is designed. I also have Kindernay XIV and it does not leak (at least not that bad).

I covered about 1400 miles already on my 3000W Innotrace X1 paired with Kindernay VII. It works without issues so far. Just replaced the destroyed chain at 800 miles and flipped the cog. The trick to not overstress the gear hub is to use the biggest possible chainring with smallest possible cog...

My undocumented e-bike allows to me to commute to work within reasonable amount of time so I can work effectively and pay taxes. A lot of undocumented e-bikes allow people work in delivery industry and pay taxes, just like undocumented immigrants.

Reention case batteries take more more labor and more materials. Plus the Reention cases parts might cost more because of cost of research and development for those cases components. Here is a battery build with Reention case parts...

Paragliding

It is not anodizing, it is coating. And those fasteners are likely stainless steel. This is high stress area where the shock is mounted and such tiny fasteners would brake and they were aluminum.

Yes, but that blue threadlocker on those bolts sucks. The bolts have pretty loose fit and that threadlocker does not work at all. I would strip that blue stuff from the bolts and apply Loktite activator and Loktite threadlocker.

Yes, those nuts come loose over time if you just torque them. I applied Loctite SF 7471 primer (primer is necessary because of those bolts and nuts are anodized alimunim and will not activate the thread locker as is) and then applied Loctite 271 Red thread locker on those bolts on the swingarm...

Does this emergency include electric boards and mono wheels? Those things can go crazy fast, significantly faster than e-bikes. And how do you trear mono wheels? There is no such thing like a regulal mono wheel, those wheels exist only in electric form.

I commute on my 3000w ebike on this trail and I see no problem here with e-bikes. The biggest problem I had when I stopped in the middle of the trail to handle a flag to a bicyclust who dropped it on the trail and the acoustic bike ciclists behind me yelled on me to clear the way but they did...

It is about 757 mm for RockShox Domain RC Suspension Fork part number 00.4020.707.006 It is about 35" from the ground to the top of the seat with lowered dropper post on 29" rims with 2.8" tires. If you consider to stay in that area it might not be possible because of the seat is going to be...

Meanwhile pro riders on acoustic bikes with no throttle in the US

You might want to tack weld an aluminum rod or tube to the plug to crank it out. You have to file the top of the plug to expose bare aluminum and you have to use microwelding technique to tack weld the rod in multiple spots and not to damage the housing of the gear hub. Then you can crank the...

I need all that power maybe 5-10% of my commute time to be able to keep up with 35 mph traffic. And maybe 70% of that power to keep up with 25 mph traffic about 15-20% of my commute time. I commute on my bicycle almost daily.

No. I'm running mid drive Bafang Ultra with 3000W 240Nm controller (the motor) paired with Kindernay VII gear hub (the gearing system). Bafang Ultra (the motor) connected with the gear hub (gearing system) with the chain. And all that 3000W power with 240Nm torque plus my legs push force go thru...

I use 44T standard Bafang steel chainring (the biggest the frame allows) and 14T Shimano steel 3/32" cog. I could use bigger cog but that would increase the stress on the gear hub I would like to avoid because of the gear hub is the most expensive part of the drivetrain.

I found that my Bafang starts destroying the chain before it is even stretched up to the 0.5 wear mark. What basically happens is it has so much torque it crushes the rollers of the chain. The chain is still fine according to the chain checker, but the rollers look deformed (squished) after just...
