Because garbage ebikes don't ride like a proper 'enduro' sled. The bikes with piddling drive units are still bicycles at heart, with all the trail shredding capability that comes with a regular bike, just with some extra nudge to get you back to the top. Try riding a decent line on a crappy 3kw...

A Suron is in no way an e-bike, it's an electric motorcycle. Whoever bought those kids a silent 60mph electric motorcycle to knowingly go hacking around the estate on should be locked up.

You already have the option. If you want an EMTB there are plenty to choose from, likewise if you want a high powered bike for use on private land. If you want an electric motorcycle there are also plenty to choose from. The last thing we need is morons rocking up to Halfords and getting their...

You can indeed use 21700 cells width ways. I've made a 13s4p pack that mounts to an aluminium plate that picks up on the existing mounting holes.

It's progressive enough, I'm running a heavily reworked Jade X and it's sublime on the big stuff. But obviously it's not a sofa any more.

Hey dado, can you confirm this works, I'm getting really annoyed at this limitation on my M600.... I messaged you at K1 but I think something got lost in translation as you mentioned all motors lower the power at 30% battery. What firmware version dosen't have this limitation? Apart from this...

I've made many packs over the years. I wouldn't be happy with this one, corners have been cut - and the soldering iron tip wasn't big enough or hot enough.

I swapped at Christmas after two years of riding that awful thrushaft. Well the bottom seal finally gave way so I had an excuse! I'm on a M 2021, 60*230, hardware from J-Tech as he makes a nice mounting kit (and will sell you the shims to tune it) I weigh 92kg, running a DVO 550lb spring the...

I'm starting to see why Gary *ucked off. Stating my background was not a flex, it was to give an idea of the industry I'm involved in, which funnily enough isn't too far from NASA's in areas. Carefully handling electronics does not work, but it helps when combined with other forms of static...

I know it's a little off topic but I'm interested to know where you found out about NASA's conclusions? I've worked in the aerospace (weapons and radar) industry in the UK for 22 years and have seen countless times the damage that can be done. Your e-bike isn't live equipment, there is no...

If money were no object absolutely, with the biggest mdr-p rotors that fit the bike 😁 But I'm a cheepskate, so if I wasn't worried about car park kudos I'd get the M520's - and the biggest mdr-p rotors that fit the bike. Bleed them with GPR6 2.5wt, fit EBC sintered pads (by far the best pads...

I've had all-sorts over the years. But more recently can run direct comparisons between the Shimano MT520's Zee's M8120's + Magura MT5's and MT7's. Ignoring all the 2 pots for obvious reasons, and ignoring anything SRAM - I'd rather use Clarks M2's 🤣. The more basic Shimano stuff seems to have...

They're a nifty idea, but I've got 6 bikes hung off the roof joists in my workshop by the front wheel. That's £600 worth of hoist Vs £25 of hooks from Screwfix 😁

@Waynemarlow I'm not picking holes, but can I ask what size wire you've used from the cells to the BMS? I usually use 12 AWG for anything up to 30A, yours looks a bit small but could be a deceiving picture.

I'm that one guy. I ride a Rail 9.8XT, and I think an easily removable battery is an absolute must, be that with a key, or a simple special easy to use tool (that's not a key, honestly). Here's why.... Charging indoors has already been mentioned, as has starting off a ride with a room...
