Interesting idea, but a little paddleboat could just use a trolling motor instead. If we are going mad scientist, I think you would need to rig together...

I came across this one for $17 on Amazon.

I am not as experienced as others in designing/building batteries, but if you want flexibility, then I think 48V (working) is your target. Most ebike...

That doesn't look like an automotive type connector, so auto parts places, and bike shops might not be much help. Seems like an SAE single flare end....

I had the same kind of weird PAS behavior with my Cyclone, but the sensonr didn't really fit my frame correctly. Changed it out for an aftermarket unit,...

Looks like a limit stop of some kind. Check under the bottom triple, and see if it possibly has bolt-on steering stops. That would be really unusual,...

When you are dealing with ICE (internal combustion engine) based kits, there is generally a lot of room to modify thanks to being a "real" engine....

Hi there, and WELCOME!

We are mostly DIY'ers here, but definitely look around. There is a ton of good general knowledge in all the forums...

Video smoothness is all about frame rate. A super hi-res, but choppy video annoys the crap out of me. A eally smooth slightly lower res. video is fine...

I think you are on to something there. Old cameras still work for a wider angle, so it's good to just hold on to them once they are a couple years old....

I'm still running OEM brake pads on the front. The Hope got some EBC semi-metallics. I have yet to push my brakes so hard that they have any kinds of...

I see some folks suggest that front only ABS might work for off-road, but I get how rear ABS is not a good thing for dirt.

Ok Grigori,

Now you are asking questions that will lead you down a wicked rabbit hole. In my opinion, THE go-to for a custom mid-drive build...

I have a Hope rear with a 160mm disk, and Juicy 7 front with 180mm disk. Friggin love the stopping power. Hydraulic all the way.

If the battery didn't catch on fire, AND if the BMS didn't fry, the problem might only be a short in the wiring at the connector end.

The real dearth of parts is for older, 26" wheels/tires. Pretty much everyone is out of stock on pretty much everything. I've been sitting on my...

I'm on-board with pretty much everything Azguy said. Been a moto guy since I was 17, now on an older VFR800 that I just love to pieces.

Man! The more I look at this build, the more I like how everything goes together. If I was doing a build today, I would TOTALLY try and find that frame....

Is your $2500 build price-point for each bike, or for both bikes? I think for a single bike that is very reasonable.
