Time to open it up and figure out what gear blew |
I can't figure out what would make it do that? Hills? |
Moreso using too high of a gear, especially when starting out from a stop |
Oopsies |
I guess 10A was a little too much üòÇ |
10? |
Bruh |
Hey it worked for a solid 18 months alright |
Though I quickly realized that molex for battery charge terminals is a horrible idea and I didn't want to touch it lol |
Now I gotta figure out how to undo this nightmare. Might need to snip and clamp other wire far away |
Hehe have FUN lol |
Gonna be electroboom's next featured star |
Oh please yes |
K gonna snip red and cover with etape, should be ok üò¨ |
Some molex connectors are rated for 10A |
Wouldn’t recommend it though |
Yeah it definitely worked. I found another connector down the line had a pin loose which probably gave it enough impedence to heat up the main line |
But would not recommend anyone put battery terminals on pins so close to each other |
That is actually the closest I got to shorting my battery on myself, 18 months ago: trying to undo it by pushing a pin out with an Allen wrench. The Allen wrench had a rubber handle by pure luck |
Because the end of that 2.5mm Allen wrench was partly melted after that |
Had to sit down for a bit lol |
Tis unfortunate I am back in this channel |
These tires are garbage, I might as well be riding my road bike |
Had a little crash :( |
Broke my trunk |
Doh, that sucks |
95% of bike tires are garbage in the snow |
My knobby 2.4" trail tires on my mountain bike have more traction than these lol |
Are you okay? |
if you're interested in some snow chains for it, im working on a pretty cheap, adaptable design using jack chain, see seasonal for a loose test-fit pic on 2.1 knobbies |
I'm thinking of retiring the fatty. Time to move on to better things ;) |
All fine, just me elbow hurts a bit :( |
Oh fucck |
That sucks |
:0 |
Completely lost traction and started to drift and eventually toppled over lol |
I went to the running track and made it up to 20mph lol. I could feel my front wheel was just floating on the snow. Whether I turned left or right, I was still going forward üòÇ |
Snow is just starting to accumulate for me now |
@TheGrayWolf81 Is that a vanity plate I see? |
;) |
It's just a plastic plate from the store lol |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6h5tqPxl5Q |
i made one with a sticker and some scrap aluminum for my first ebike |
the rear rack is a good place to mount it. i had to figure out how to mount mine to the seat stays |
lol |
the music choice |
you know |
I would skip the plate |
fake or not |
you never know what cops might try to screw you with |
Think of the logic this way "That's an unlicensed moped" |
"No it's not" |
"Why did you put a fake plate on it to make it look like it was registered" |
could get you in a lot of trouble |
not a moped if its doing non-moped speeds at that moment, but its a bit of an open door to 'whats with the plate?' bits anyway |
And you're foolish if you think cops aren't going to try *every* angle they can |
even if it holds up or not |
I mean, they shoot people dead with no reason to do so |
sO |
Yeah |
I just assume not getting away with anything tbh |
if they can try to find a way to fuck you over, they will |
gotchu... at least for canada/ontario |

here it's 'i dont like your car/bike/face, so im gonna go down this handy checklist to see what i can throw at you after the initial stop' |
@Lapis I'm a super white young guy here and never get in trouble for my highly illegal bike. |
I wonder how long it would take if I wasn't... especially in los angeles |
super white lol |
I'm a super white young-ish guy and I got pulled over for doing 22mph when the legal limit was 20mph, on my (at the time) *very* standard bicycle-style ebike. |
Laws vary from place to place, but enforcement varies from place to place as well. |
Yep, that too |
My opinion is that there are just too many variables to reliably answer a "can I get away with xyz" sort of question. |
Particularly when the thing you're trying to get away with is visibly noticeable. |
Yea the only awnsers we can give for 'Can I get away with X' is 'maybe' and 'doubtful' |
I rode a 66cc motorized bike for 8 years without being pulled over once.. then pulled over 3 times in a month, because a private corperation told the police to crack down on it. |
And provided helpful laminated printouts of their website to tell the cops how to ID bikes that should be pulled over and fined. |
(Not one of the cops could tell me what actual law I had broken, or where to look it up, and just referred to the laminated printout with the private corperations website URL still in the footer of the printout) |
Yep. |
that company? the private insurance corperation of BC |
Because yaknow, motorized bikes arnt insurable.. because they won't insure them. |
And because they won't insure them, they are illegal. |
No conflict of interest there in them telling the cops to fine people who arnt paying them for *mandatory* car insurance to get around. |
Yep, There a private corperation, with no legal authority (outside of somehow having all say in any matter to do with collisions/whats insurable/etc.. They also have hte power to make your vehicle unregisterable in BC forever more if its been in a collision by making it a salvage title only, no way to fight that apparently, they won't even tell you whats wrong with your vehicle that made them change the title and literally laughed at me when I asked) |
And there the mandatory monopoly, nobody else is allowed to compete on the basic mandatory insurance. |
Having a perfect 18 year driving record atm, and it costs me just over $100/month absolute basic mandatory insurance to drive a 20 year old 2.2L 4cyl S10 |
.. And thats with every discount you can apply pretty much, no other drivers allowed to drive it, pleasure use only, not allowed to drive it to/from work more then 3 days a month or someshit. |
(theres also 0 discount for having a 2nd vehicle btw) |
(for the record, collision insurance is about another $100/month, and comprehensive is another $100/month, both required on any vehicle not paid off in full and rentals.) |
in my time driving, I could have spent $43,000 in optional insurance that wouldn't have paid me a dime thus far lol. |
(on a $4000 and $2600 truck) |
@Lapis *shrugs* |
my issue was theres two types of titles |
One that allows the car to be repaired/recertified |
and 'salvage/parts only' |
and they just declared it salvage/parts only, without being able to tell me any reason WHY |
and refused to even estimate the repairs |
And then paid $5600 for it, because naturally they have been doing the same to all old trucks, and the only ones left are extremely $$$ unless you watch craigslist every single day lol |
(yes ICBC paid out $5600 for a truck I bought for $4000 like 5+ years earlyer) |
Because fuck man, my shit only increases in value as I drive it. /s |
Next time they tried to screw me over, of course, by claiming my $2600 truck was only worth $1600... how you ask? |
