  • Hi there, what sort of BMX is that, is it steel framed or Alloy? Thanks.

  • @ElectricAvenuesIRE It's not a BMX, it's a Norco Chaos, i put a 20" in the rear for mechanical advantage to the motor at 100v, and a 24" in the front to keep some ground clearance.. i use it 95% of the time on roads so no need for high cranks, i prefer acceleration ..

  • Thanks for sharing your rim test. What brand of rim and tire are you using?

    Don Gerhardt

  • @Gerhardtdj These are rims i got from Zero Electric Motorcycles when they were using 20 inch wheels, i have a few dozen of these left, no brand name but custom built in taiwan and very strong...

  • So you finally broke one of those unbrakable rim Ypedal! =))

    aws the spokes really thight before it happened?

  • @Doctorbass Yes, the wheel was solid and all spokes were as tight as could be, i never had to adjust any spoke after the initial build 2 years ago.. the 12 gauge spokes and rim were solid !

see all

  • @Ypedal Just watched all your vids today. Great stuff! I'm a 2 week newb to ebikes.. veteran to bikes. Just looking/researching for what to buy for my Motobecane Fantom Trail DS. Was thinking Ping 60v15ah LifePo, now thinking Turnigy Lipo maybe. Charging might be more involved though. Decisions, decisions...

  • Thats why you should crosslace...

  • Time to go to the new shed and pick yourself out another bike! The motor looks good. Just need a rim and a few spokes - not too expensive, just a little work.

  • @116thcrazy This one is a Crystalyte 409

  • yup did it this summer. looked just as bad. after pulling the seat out of my ass

    i took a hammer to it used it all summer lol. if i get another member telling to true it im going to loose it :)
