Hey guys, Has anyone tried their fast charger on an old style dryer/stove NEMA 10-50 240v receptacle? I have one of these in my garage. Was hoping an adapter like the one pictured might work. Not sure if the neutral-ground setup is supported by the charger GFCI. Also, for help with NEMA...

Just running through the instructions before installing. Is there a needto download the Windows CAN-USB drivers, or are they needed in this setup?

I would envision the main application of an ultra capacitor is the quick capture and release of energy on braking and acceleration. So, instant regen, and instant acceleration for short bursts, thus removing the load from the battery for longer term energy needs and less thermal effects. I...

Anyone in the group have any experience with wirebonding? I wouldn’t be averse to pitching in a few bucks to a pool to buy a used wirebonder if it could be used to repair member batteries in the long run. Kind of a common-good project. Not sure if this has been proposed in another thread...

Sounds like a job for short people MX boots. Also good for goth parties and dancing.

We cut the limiter wire on the Sur-Ron X after a couple rides at the local off-road park (Carnegie SVRA). My son put about 50 miles on the thing in two days. The thing does have a lot more power without the limiter. The thing has a short wheelbase, so it wants to wheelie, even with my 6'0...

Yeah, I tried the Maxima Clear Synthetic on my son’s bike, and it made a big, goopy, black mess and stained my driveway. How does a clear lubricant make black goo on a fresh, clean chain? It also flung all over the place even though I wiped it down and cleaned as much as I could off. I am gonna...

Thought I’d ask the forum members what their preferred chain lube is. I’ve never really found a good one that didn’t fling crap all over or didn’t attract more dirt than they displaced. So what are your favorite products and techniques for applying (tips and timing)?

By the way, concerning the limited mode, for models before May 2019, the bikes came with a "clipped" green wire, and you had to connect it to get full power. The new models come with an intact green wire, and you need to "cut" the wire to engage full power. So, they changed it up on us. Just FYI.

The Sur-Ron X arrived today! Went together pretty well, except for the DNM Volcano USD-8 front axle. Don’t like the pinch-bolt design. But other than that, super nice bike and solidly made. Wish the Alta had a similar battery design with quick-change capability. But the thing is super fun to...

Been watching a few vids of guys racing the Sur Ron in hare scrambles. It seems more competitive than I would have suspected. Must be a bit embarrassing to get passed by what is essentially a mountain bike in one of these races. I also noticed that there is a usb charger port on the thing...

I just ordered the X model today for my younger son. He rides ATVs, and has a 250 Raptor, but had been kind of afraid to try the 2-wheel dirt bike thing. But he decided it was time to sell the ATV and get a dirt bike. We discussed the options that were about right for his size (TTR125...

Yes! Those!

I also installed the Fasst Company rear brake return spring, which helped, and allows for some adjustability. But the real problem was the white goo stuff that rayivers mentioned above. I could not turn the lever around the bushing at all by hand. Once I cleaned out the glue-like substance and...

Diesel-electric locomotives have huge fans and heat exchangers to dissipate the heat generated by dynamic braking, switching the electric motors to generators and running through resistor grids to convert the excess energy into heat. I assume there may be hybrid locomotives that could use the...

Which "Intro to dirt" class did you take? The one from Garrahan Off-Road? How was it?

Sadly, I think Lightning Motorcycles might have some feedback on that concept. But, cool graphic!

I would definitely vote yes, even if it was just a clone of the current battery. My one trepidation about buying the Alta was if the battery went out, what would I do. I would also like the option of swapping the battery out for a second for racing purposes, like they planned to do at Erzberg.

Well, let us know when we can order, then. And if we are doing it via the AOF store.

Now that is an interesting idea... hmmmm.
