I think that with regen from that larger motor (and good tires) that you'll find very little pressure on the existing rim/coaster braking setup. An IGH and disc brakes will be a big upgrade. I wonder with some experience if you'll need the discs (well maybe if you were a speed demon ... but I'm...

Now that you've had a good look at the bike any ideas about the specific setup for the torque arms? How is the braking setup on the trike?

Tom, What are you going to do about the PAS setup? I don't know how you could get the 24p to work, but with a little effort I'll bet the split 12p could be fitted. It's been ages since I worked on a solid crank setup like that ... is the BB shell really a different diameter/threading than the...

This year's grain crops are effectively gone. High percentages are unplanted, or now untended/maintained, and those that do mature can't be sold in bulk as there's no way to move large grain shipments out of Ukraine since all the sea ports in the south are occupied or blockaded ... and the black...

NYT has multiple levels of a "paywall". The latest articles are behind the strongest versions, but articles do become easier to access over time. It's not hard to read even those latest versions, there are lots of different paths to do this. In my case I load the article in the incognito part of...

With respect to Mark Twain ... What was a popular statement about incrementally worse lies - "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is now better described as "Lies, damned lies, and Russian government statements".

When it rains it pours ... or other such comments about the supply chain being under pressure. World wide Covid lockdowns, general slowdowns to various economies, badly bottlenecked transportation services and the lack of shipping containers = big increase in costs, now there's big fuel costs...

Yup, It's on their website ... and PhaseRunners have been out of stock for a while. Grin's home page from Oct 2021 ... "Due to all the supply issues with semiconductors it seems that the best case is mid 2022 before we'll be able to produce our Phaserunner units again. "

The FrankenRunners appear to be temporary products combining the off the shelf ASI controller with the connectivity from the BaseRunner/PhaseRunner controllers since Grin can't produce new PhaseRunners for a while. These new controllers also incorporate the capabilities to support other displays...

I seem to remember that happening a lot in March/April on the front range. I thought mother nature had it in for me ... but it might have just been my level of fitness after sitting on my butt most of Jan/Feb. (life before running studded winter tires on the road) 😁

Along the same lines ... https://mediacloud.theweek.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_single-media-image-desktop@1/v1648649146/261547_768_rgb.jpg

Man that's a serious setup, and nothing subtle about that 18 fet encyclopedia sized controller. :oops: The phase wiring will probably look like something from a 220v dryer. Now where to connect the flux capacitor?

The formula for that is pretty simple ... Standard wind 6T geared hub motor, 52v, larger diameter wheels (650 or 700c) and bike gearing that will let you keep the cadence in a reasonable range (so something in the 50/52 x 11-18 range at the high end).

I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised acceleration wise with my Shengyi hub motor (STD wind/8T). It's certainly not neck snapping, it's only rated at 500w but with a full twist of the throttle I'm putting 1000+ watts through it (BaseRunner controller and 52v battery) and with a little...

😄 ... another example of the multitude of benefits of having a throttle. It will be interesting to hear how you like the inserts. I'm not sure what to think as I've heard so many very pro and very con experiences.

That's "probably" true, but it's so hard to get good verifiable specifications on items like the BMS that we're left with more anecdotal experiences and the manufacturers overall ratings which are usually very conservative for monetary and legal reasons.

But it depends on what you define as "typical". I have a 52v 14.5 amp/hr battery from Grin that like some others in their portfolio can be charged at up to 8 amps.

or XLR, or "mini XLR", or ST3, or ... ;) Plus I believe that another characteristic of the battery (aside from the robustness of the charger connector) that needs to be considered when thinking about faster charging rates is the particular BMS used.

Uh, you all do know that "Hawaiian" pizza is Canadian invention, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_pizza But since we're all in this together I'll let it slide, just this once ... ;)
