is total wattage
They handle as much as they can manage heatwise
The ability of the motor to dissipate heat is the main concern
@Akbar Well yes
But when you're shoving 5kw into a motor rated for a third of that
pretty irrelevant
Okay sweet
KopaZ burnt the shit out of his hub motors without regen
with less power
I still wanna make a 72v voilamart
I think what may have been happening was before the motor was getting rest whilst he was braking in between short bursts of acceleration
and now it doesn't
My main issue is phase wires in that tiny ass axle bore
Well depends really how many amps you pushing
Some people keep the original phase wires where it exits the hub
Then use thicker wire traveling to controller
Well I have to re-do the phases anyway so
Had to do a full ELF teardown today frame was damaged and the body as well
I have no idea what that thing is, bit it looks amazing
its called the Organic Transit ELF the shop i work for services these
wow, so it's kind of like a body for an e bike?
It is a vehicle in and of itself
@Deleted User How long does it take to build an ELF
about 6
months or days?
i have literally never built one
I don't kniow
ah
you probably meant @Chris Hall (TinaJunVRC)
I've never built one
but it appears to be a fiberglass monocoque
on top of a welded steel frame
So probably not horribly long
@Timor10 The context is that this was a retail product
designed to be an urban car replacement
Yeah
The fuk is that
DHGate / Booant battery
Did it catch fire or something
With Chinese cells
Oh no, it still outputs >60v
Where'd you get that
Ebikes Facebook page lol
yikes
are those steel strips
Actually no, 18650 page
Probably lol nickel wouldn’t corrode like that
jfc
Did someone spill chili on it

Pinned a message.
Pinned a message.

what
how did that happen
Counterfeit torque arm and installed incorrectly
jesus
that can happen on the first go
you plug it in, get on, rev it up
and crack goes the weasel
especially front forks
this took 4 hours to tear down to this point used to take 12 hours to build one
these sadly are no longer in production as there is gonna be a new design coming they were all hand made
@StarTrak Where can you find real torque arms?
ebikes.ca
And there are a few in slovenia that seem promising but nobody has much experience with
@StarTrak How much should a torque arm cost
like what is a price that I should look for, not go under that price
$25-$40
Shipped
I saw one one day in my neighborhood, never saw it again. It looked cool, made me want one :)
