    Home Batteries / Solar

    Helped an off grid, solar/hydro, friend that was looking to replace his original Lead Acid deep cell batteries and what we discovered is that it seems like LiFePo4 chemistry batteries for stationary home use are the best option, as well as cheapest...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    As a display I have found that the 500c suits my needs but it does have its flaws. Sure it is small and hard to read, at least while riding. I don't refer to it much really other than to track voltage while stopped, which is off by - 1.5v btw, and once in awhile to make sure of my assist level...

    what are your feelings on riding trails that are in USFS areas?

    I do my fair share of "poaching" here on the coast of Oregon without any blowback. It helps that there are only a handful of us that ride the locals and they aren't on any apps and we aim to keep it that way. For established trail riding the Wilson River trail system is about 40 minutes away...

    What's the consensus best DIY frame right now?

    The best DIY frame I would be looking hardest at is the one that is available, affordable and with a company that has good communication skills in the language of your country. The last is the hardest to find but perhaps the most important, at least for me. The efforts of Jim and Ben here would...

    "Tubeless is recommended." Back in 99' we showed up with a bunch of 29" wheel bikes to Blue Diamond from CB, CO. for an Interbike demo day. Wasn't long before bikes came back full of goat heads.....before tubeless and it turned into a mad effort to keep the fleet aired up. Plus we only had so...

    Pic of the Day

    Been taking advantage of stellar weather here, albeit a bit chilly, to tick off some beach rides near by. Had to shuttle 14 miles to get to this one on the south side of Cape Lookout and down to Sand Lake. Entrance was through an 800 acre Boy Scout Camp that had really nice forest vibe although...

    Dengfu E55 (Emtb) and E56 (Fat Bike) - New selection of DIY frame

    An M620 bike is heavy enough without that big of a battery. I get 30+ miles easily out of my standard case 52v 780wh 21700 cell battery from DingTai and although I have two batteries and a way to carry the spare easily on the bike the reality is I have only done one ride requiring it. For day to...

    Trail Tool Time

    I use a Grunden's back pack that is large enough to put the saw in head side down/handle away, plus a couple batteries. Heavy on the back but certainly doable, especially with an eBike. I only bring it once in awhile if there is something too big for the sawzall and M12 Hatchet tool. I used to...

    What is the point in eBike racing?

    Anytime you get two similar wheeled vehicles together its game on. An event that I would throw down on would be more like a hare and hounds type.

    Seeking $20,000 to develop a new EMTB carbon fiber frame with three sizes

    JimLee is a real person at a real company that is interested in developing the type of bike that the "off brand DIY" crowd here are always on about. I have had communications with JimLee and he basically laid out the same figures on mould costs etc. and that is what it costs to bring a new...

    Can you build your own battery for the E10 ?

    I couldn't be happier with my 13S 21700 780wh stock type case battery compared to the stock 840wh 18650 cell one. More range, and power at lower voltage. For my daily under 30 mile rides it provides consistent power throughout. A bigger battery wouldn't do much for me but but add weight and I...

    Bald Eagles where I live are not at all uncommon but whenever I get this close and especially if they are paired up I try and get a pic. Taken at the South Jetty of the Garbaldi bar.

    "it looks like the circle one is limited to 2A/h charging rate" DC plug type can charge @ up to 6A safely. Rosenberg up to 10A. Problem with both is the "plug" that covers the hole when not in use. Neither are a very waterproof option. When my DC style flap failed I started to look for an...

    There is a discussion going on currently on another forum I follow regarding the EggRider and a poster named ImagineAudio seems to have a good handle on how it relates to the M620 https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/bafang-ultra-smooth-tune-by-mike-at-frey.42394/page-13#post-573728...

    Water resistant trousers

    I live and ride in a wet climate and I use these: They have a thin thermal liner also so they are good in the cold also.

    Contact: [email protected] he is very familiar with the stock battery type, and will also build them with 21700 cells in 48v and 52v and a 40A BMS which I prefer. Pretty much any battery you can dream up they can make. I have gotten both hard shell and soft shell batteries from them.
