New elecitric bike rules for federal public lands

Like JPLabs I'm not interested in building as a business but enjoy helping others and aside from building my own BBSHD have helped three other folks with...

The good/bad old days for sure =]

That van was an '80 (give or take one or two) Dodge B100 with a 360ci 4-bbl... bought it for $800... Thing...

[AZguy]

That thumb thing is funny stuff for sure! I had an old beat-up van with manual steering that was my hang vehicle (for hauling hang gliders around) -...

[AZguy]

From my moto racing days it was all made very clear to me

On smooth hard surface terrain going straight, by far, nearly all the braking should...

[AZguy]

That sounds like a good setup - a lot faster than mine (50t vs. 42t)

I might do more aggressive steep off-road stuff and need the lower gearing...

[AZguy]

Like I mentioned I'd be fine with 8sp if I could get the ratio - for me that's what's important. I've tried less than 4:1 (11-42t) but found me wanting...

[AZguy]

11-speed chains have precision machined pins and plates that the lesser gear chains do not - width of the chain has little to do with strength (it's more...

Odds are the fuse is ahead of the inverter (DC side) so 25A × 68% (fuse working current) = 17A, 17A × 12V = 204W so then multiply by inverter efficiency...

[AZguy]

SunRace has an 11-40t 8-speed that would give you more low end with the 42t ring than your 11-30t on the 32t ring while leaving your top end the same...

[AZguy]

If you have a luna bbshd or another that will accept changing the controller parameters then I would suggest getting a programming cable if you don't...

[AZguy]

That really depends on how the controller is setup... I used to do very poorly on PAS due to it just as you say - hammering the current, then backing...

[AZguy]

Battery voltage will limit the top speed of the motor

Any idea how fast the crank is turning when you max out?

Does it do the...

[AZguy]

Different controller for sure that will handle more current, possibly different battery for more current too

[AZguy]

I've had metal panniers on my R1100GS's... they were far too heavy for bike use but something lighter for the bike has my ears perked up

[AZguy]

I haven't heard xcnick around for a while - if you manage to get a hold of him, see if you can't get him to PM me......

[AZguy]

With the throttle override fix you can still pedal and use the throttle to control the amount of assist... riding on rapidly varying terrain is super...

There is a freewheeling roller clutch in the nylon gear

The freewheeling pawl clutch is for the crank
