Check out the Amflow as a lighter weight alternative with the DJI motor and decent size battery.

Sure, but not worth my time going to a metal shop when I can order online in minutes and have it delivered to my door. None of my e-bikes are limited to 25klm/hr. They were all available from the bike shops already unlocked to higher speeds with correct wheel diameters, speed and odometer readings.

Sounds like the speed sensor trick is the way to double your speed on modern motors. Epic e-bikes sells a replacement speed sensor disc for the DJI Amflow to acheive 50 klms/hr……nice 👍 https://epicebikes.com.au/product/amflow-pl-carbon-speed-unlock-disc-double-your-speed/

Mine is medium too. Has been on my bike for just over 2 years now and no plans to change it. Can’t say I’ve done all day rides though, nor do I wear padded cycling shorts - just sports shorts with compression liner.

Good choice on the saddle. I have one of these on one of my e-bikes and the Selle SMP e-sport on the other.

One of my bikes has Tektro brakes too. They came with the green coloured backing plate pads which were useless for slowing down from higher speeds. So I changed to pads to the red P20.11, upgraded to Shimano ice tech rotors with a larger front rotor…..and cancelled my life insurance! I need to...

The 6.00 o’clock launch method would be slow (and precarious ) from a hill start. I tend to use there launch method, or 2 to 3 o’clock start position for a hill start depending on the gradient.

So a total of 9,600 bike crashes in 2022, and of those a fraction were e-bike crashes, and of those 4 e-bike crashes were fatal. Don’t get me wrong, fatalities are fatalities, but it’s hardly an alarming stat 👐, Love to know the number of fatalities riding acoustic bikes. Are they getting a...

He will be certainly missed. He was such an ambassador to the e-bike community with a wealth of knowledge and experience he was only too happy to share.

Not in my state in my country either. Doesn’t stop them though. It’s usually teens on off-road dirt bikes and there have been deaths where they have hit people,

Best thing to do is read your policy and confirm your understanding with your insurer. My policy is more concerned with how you ride it and who can ride it (min age limits) rather than what you ride……for now.

Yes

For now my home and contents insurance covers public liability and property damage for my family when riding our e-bikes. Next time the policy is up for renewal they (and e-rideables) will no longer be covered……. regardless of speed.

Of course I knew about the proper alignment! 😉. When the time comes to change my KMC e9 chain on my other ebike, I’ll need to check if the same applies.

Not the longest lasting motors based on what I have read on EMTB forums. I think one guy is on his 5th or 6th motor 😳

I don’t have a choice of positions. The 12 speed SRAM chain only fits one way on the Wolf Tooth NW chainring.

I’ve been tempted to buy a UART motor whilst there still available for a future project bike. Would love play around with the tune to see what can be achieved with the programmable motor.

I agree, but there alloy chainring bolts not so much. I bought a set with my chainring but snapped one when torquing to spec.

I'm using an alloy Wolf Tooth chainring, which bolts up to the stock Ultra spider. I’m at circa 2,500 klms for the chainring, chain (SRAM GX) and cassette (SRAM NX 11-50) with no problems (Shifter and derailleur are GX). I guess the larger diameter chainring is spreading the load over more...

I’m 57 so I’m not sure if I’m young…… or just young at heart. Yes I love power and speed. I’m certainly very happy with my 60v Canbus Ultra motor on my Frey Beast which is quite well behaved. It does run a 28A controller rather than the typical 30A controller, yet the importer quotes it as...
