Look up MXE electric bikes, I think they changed their name to Lizcat recently.

It is a trials bike for all intents and purposes. That's like saying the GG Contact isn't a trials bike. A seat and more range do not make it something other than a trials bike. A long range trials bike I guess you could call it, but geo, suspension, handling, etc... it's still a trials bike.

I doubt there will be too many quality issues and unless you’re truly fast (pro/ex-pro/very fast expert class, etc) I doubt you’ll have any thermal limiting issues, but if you’re expecting to race a harescramble, ride +30mi of typical singletrack, or ride at the track all day without having...

I didn’t word my question very well. I meant how long do they get to back out of buying the bike they put the deposit down on altogether? I would assume up until you actually pay for the bike. It’ll just be interesting to see if people start backing out when they realize they will not be getting...

That'll cover the first 10% of the cells needed... maybe How long do people have to back out of their $100 deposit? It'll be interesting to see what happens after the first few batches of production bikes are released. My guess is that unfortunately, there are going to be a lot of people...

I have not, I need to do some research on coating options. Are you referring to adding the plating to the copper for better conductivity while bond cells?

I would assume with some bench testing/loading you could find a cross sectional shape of the “bridge” as you stated that would act as a fuse. However, other than those capable of wire bonding, I don’t see any other methods being used to incorporate cell level fusing. More than than the cell...

I would like to see something along the lines of this. Do you think your Sunstone could do this Gary?

Bummer, I've learned a lot reading and following along with your posts and builds! Hopefully there's somewhere we can see the progress of the YZ/DHX build? Have you received your replacement motor?

@Marko_Flux just seems like a lot of your statements kind of indicate there is a prototype already in existence, but I was obviously reading into that incorrectly. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out, hopefully well! I still think battery tech is still a generation or two from being...

Any videos or at the very least images of the prototype in action? Renderings are cool and all, but it seems very smoke and mirrors to me if you're claiming to have a prototype but unwilling to share any evidence of a solid performing bike.

It's been a minute since I've been on DVT so I can't remember the exact tab you need to navigate to, but can you check what your throttle start and end values are? You can use the viewer to monitor what voltages the controller is reading.

Measure the magnet length and diameter of the rotor while you have it apart if you don't mind!

@DonCox thanks for the insight! I certainly wish there were a better more reasonably priced option for the DIY crowd for this. The pulse arc welders are expensive! I have a Malectrics spot welder that I have not used much, but I’m not confident even using the nickel copper method will work all...

Does anyone know what the specs are of the primary reduction gears are? Module or pitch, pressure angle, helix angle, etc...?

It’ll be awhile before I’m ready to buy so no worries! Have you ever used IMRbatteries or 18650batterystore? Also, how are you doing your cell connections?

@DonCox where did you purchase the Molicel cells?

Did you ever get video of this or the Husky that you would share? Also, curious if you ever got run times/distance? 3kWh pack nominally from what I gather in the thread, 6p28s of 5ah lipo. What's the pack weight? Also, final build weight?

Mark, what size of plate and what size of fittings did you use to build the cold plates? Also, what is the thermal interface from the cells to the cold plate? Are the cells touching the plate and conducting the heat out or does it transmit the heat via radiation? Maybe its conductive through...
