RolfRapRap,( look above) can hook you up. I bought a 625 mount and a 500 mount and 2 printed covers. He put a lot of effort in creating a good system and is very knowledgeable.
I was going to remove this stuff but these 2 bolts are hard to get to. I don't want to bend the long strap so I can reinstall later when I sell the bike. Can these be accessed by removing the bash guard or what? Do you have to drop the motor? Thanks
Now that I think about it I don't see how it would work without the cutout. Have you made any that testers are using without the cutout? The reason I say that is because you have to stick the top of the battery in first and be able to pull it out far enough that the cover can go on the outside...
I like having a metal nut in there. You can probably still get it in there without the cutout, just much harder. The battery is heavy and the more the cover is sticking out from the frame the easier it is to hold onto. I would at least make that side as thin as possible. Without actually trying...
Why not make the area where the bolts go through the frame solid so there would be more thread engagement. Unless that little area is designed to hold a metal nut. Also, please see my photos, it needs the cutout like I circled done in the area I marked on your photo. You have to stick the mount...
I'm pretty sure they are all aluminum. I have a 9.7 with a carbon front frame and my battery cover is definitely aluminum and it feels fairly heavy. It has long aluminum rails running down each side that run into the battery grooves. I thought I read somewhere that it is about 400 grams, almost...
I am trying to build my Rail similar to this one. Please see video. 19kg full power Rail. He removed the lock and also made a carbon battery cover and uses Velcro to hold it in place.
There is also the cover issue. That bottom mount holds the cover in position. That cover is pretty heavy too. I really wish someone would make a carbon replacement or a printed replacement.
I wouldn't want to remove the bottom bracket. These batteries are really heavy and some of us ride over some really rough terrain which puts a ton of force at the top and bottom of the battery. I really want to remove the heavy lock mechanism at the top but I really want a strong carbon printed...
Does anyone want to sell me the extra plastic piece that you removed from the end of the battery, the big piece with the handle on it. The piece that you removed to install the bolt on mount?
Can you print a cover?? I would really like one of those. I have an idea how to do it. I got the idea from a guy on YouTube. His Rail is 19.11 Kg! He made a carbon cover and just used Velcro. To me the best solution would be to add a little step at the front edge that would go inside the frame...
