And yes, marathons are AWESOME. I use em üôÇ |
It might have been you or someone else who recommended me a few weeks ago. Going to try and order some next week |
üò¢ |
Never had so many flats on one bike before actually XD |
11.. |
My inner tube was probably just tired of me I guess |
Oh yeah, it was you üòÑ |

Ordered this, cheaper lol |
Hope it's good |
That's like comparing apples to oranges. lol |
This Kenda tire is all about offroad and not at all intended for paved use, whereas the Marathon is basically the opposite. |
Your existing tires (from the picture you posted above) are road tires, so this is going to be quite the change. |
As long as I have a way to get to work XD |
I'm not saying you have to run out and change your order or anything, but if you're mostly going to do paved riding, MTB tires *suck.* |
Not just because the ride quality on pavement sucks, but because they wear down *super* quickly. $35 for these MTB tires that might last a few thousand miles, or $50 for Marathons that'll last 10,000 miles. The "it's cheaper" argument doesn't pan out in the long run. |
Don't even have to go Marathon's specifically. That's just my bias. lol |
But street/commuting tires will serve you far better if that's what you're doing. |
That makes sense, I was being quick I hate walking for a week lol |
Totally understandable. lol |
I'm currently waiting on new tubes from Amazon because nobody local carries the right size/valve for my commuter bike. |
IMO, for pavement e-bike usage you really want a hybrid tire |
Like cars use: Not a slick (Not even legal for cars to use those), because those lose all traction as soon as you hit a sandy road (like the edges of most roads/corners are, where e-bikes spend a LOT of time) |
But something with a rather 'flat' surface but still some knob/tread to bite through sand/light debris |
Prob somewhere around 40~70% posative tread. Where as that knobby tire is like 20~30% |
(slick would be 100%) |

Did someone say hybrid @Black Moons |
that looks like a 'Road focused that won't wipe out if you go offroad/through snow/mud/dirt' |
I like it. |
Maybe a pinch more aggressive then id go if I was never leaving the road.. but def looks like if I was ever gonna attempt to ride in any kinda snow |
Yep |
All weather p |
just read this post. idk how these people are managing to break these frames when I've taken it 130km/h with a tonne of weight on it, doing wheelies all the time with a 273. |
they have to be jumping it or something |
or are getting the worst of the batch |
haha dude has two rear shocks, did you notice that |
his suspension must be extremely stiff |
Omg that is horrifying lol. |
hes putting sideload on shocks... and those pins now only have 1/4 the strength |
or less |
prob less since they now will be actually bending.. |
yeah the lowest coil on that rcp shock is 550lb and highest 850lb |
double that on this and dude must be hitting shit hard to compress |
there is even enough room to add more tabs to properly support those shocks but lol. |
Dude is prob 2~3x the weight of that bike.. |
Cause I doubt hes jumping it hahah |
If anything I'm really impressed those tabs didn't break where the shock bolt inserts, damn good welds on those tabs at least |
it's true the frame has some shittyish tack welds on the sheet metal areas but the shock tabs are real welds for sure that you can see |
I have seen some other facebook post of someone doing that dual shock setup thinking they were galaxy brain and I just sighed |
Dual shock is only good for very high weight since u can't really fit a moto shock in there. Like 300+lb bike and 300lb rider |
Even then it's a bit low for dual shock. |
Yea. gonna wreck the seals with the sideload of those shock pins bending |
shocks and cylinders are meant for 0 sideload |
(though I guess mcphersion struts or whatever they are called, are prob built for some sideload. though I bet they wear out faster too) |
@Trenavix this is wh his bikes packed in |
hes been hammering that frame offroad for over a year |
with what looks like a 273 |
i wanna meet the man who built that wheel |
https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshStreetDesign |
heres his youtube lul |
qs273 5t |
@Black Moons gets better he already had the frame fail last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhLSyKpfNQo |
all these offroad shots with a stealth bomber lol |
bruh, its NOT A SUR-RON |
its a fancy ass looking road bike. |
also 2 years ago same frame |
2 years of riding that frame like that lul |
Even the sur ron isn’t really good at off roading |
theres bikes with dual shocks iv seen, but they got beefy extra ears welded in |
@EPHIIOS its not just the ears, but the pin |
a pin supported at both ends is 4x stronger (or more) then a pin supported at one end. |
well yeah leverage is a bitch |
plus, the pin will bend, putting sideload on the shock |
thats why one sided pivots and such are so beefy |
Well I'm getting those, I should have taken more time on choosing the tires. I can always get better ones if I hate these :p |
Already was ordered. |
Thanks for the suggestions |
its like a supermoto |
We blew the motor on the death trike! |
Smokey |
Looks like overvoltinh a children's brushed DC motor with no controller with a direct line to drill batteries was a bit too much for it to handle |
The crazy cart is still kicking pretty well, motor is warm but not too hot |
Definitely been pulling to many amps üòÇüòÜ |
@EPHIIOS yooo, uhh what fuse can I use instead of the 40 ? Clearly it‚Äôs not up to the job üòÜ |
@Wackyjacky those fuse holders are not really rated for 40A continiously... at least that one isn't üòõ |
You ain’t wrong lmaooo |
Anything around that’s more suitable ? |
If you need more then 40A though, I recommend the 400V DC solar beakers on ebay |
like $10~20, chonky though, but doubles as an off switch for maintence/emergency! |
I just hold my in place with zip ties LOL |
Oooh ok, are there any schematics that show how to wire to a bms ? Or is it the same as this ? |
Same |
you just put in series with the posative. |
Sweet |
And my god I really did a good job with this one lol |
lol |
yea those fuses are also only good for like 40v DC |
My battery is 96v lol |
Just a wee bit over the rated discharge rate ehh |
