    Turbo Vado 3

    Less than one bike length in a race looks fairly comparable.

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    Also clean the speed magnet or you will not be able to selfie to show that you went 15mph like a seven-year-old girl on a 20" coaster brake bike.

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    With a bit of 220 grit emery paper. Then you can huff the the remaining spray in a paper bag and take a selfie.

    Just for fun...

    This girl plays violin very well but Ffloyd's Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973 and she never heard it. It is improv.

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    Rebedding is supper important not only for freshly cleaned rotors but more so on a honeymoon. One guy wanted to buy brake oil. I said mineral, DOT 3, 4, 5.1? He said whichever will make the screech go away. He had tried some non-bike oil and it didn't work.

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    See how I ran the wire to the display through the frame? I was able to up the amps but not too much to blow it up or overheat. The same time I did that one, I did this fat BBS02. Guess how I made the connectors disappear? We have six beer gardens in town and the guy uses the chopper to visit all...

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    @Chazmo, Get the DM02 with a 110mm wide bottom bracket. And go for the T154 display. Put a rubber bushing between the motor and down tube and lever the motor forward and up against the down tube as you tighten the lockring with a ton of locktight. You could order from me with support in English...

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    Silicone electrical tape is cool. It self fuses and is waterproof. Anytime you would like to use marine grade heat shrink tube but cannot slip it over the joint, use this stuff. I will hit it with a heat gun. Seamless.

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    Barracudas like salt water. They are like salt water pike or muskies that hunt baby ducks.

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    I sometimes make Frankenstein bikes. That tight one doing her yoga vanished.

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    The last time I opened the Fat Boy's motor I sealed everything with silicone gasket sealant. Water still got in. I suspect that @Gionnirocket is correct about the cranks/BB. I have a perfect Gray-Poop-On bike here for him. It is all chrome and leather owned by a gay guy in the town of Sonoma...

    Metric Conversion Speed Trick, 20 to 28mph

    @RunForTheHills is correct. If the amps are limited and cannot be changed, like 10 amps X 48V = 480W, you are stuck there. The same with a mid-drive and gearing if you are spinning out, you would need a larger chainring but might lose offset and climbing gears. If you do it, keep a log of steps...

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    On the Fat Boy motor the controller is inside the motor's housing and attaches to the torque sensor. It is IP65 but not a dive watch.

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    There was an advertisement of a CCFF (cheap Chinese fat folder) riding in the surf! I am working on one now that is on its third controller and second torque sensor because of water incursion. He uses it fly fishing in the Pacific Northwest.

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    The thread Turbo Vado 3 is pretty funny. There is this Central European guy who is playing the role of a pompous ass to great amusement. I got the controller out. This fly fisher will now be on his third controller because of water and he is on his second torque sensor because of water in four...

    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    My spring loaded micro-SD card jumped like a flea and vanished, so I couldn't take a photo. If it was not rusted I would have made a special trip to get a new one, so I could get some warranty support. The serial number was water damaged. I am working on a TSDZ2 Specialized Fat Boy with 4.5 inch...

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    Tight. Maybe a little too little too little! A yoga babe knows how to shake it. Did you see an Irina Kovych video yet?

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    That is what I did on this BBS02. All the connectors are hidden in the phone bag. I just made a little slit and stuffed them in. Gone.
