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 😂😆
@EPHIIOS yooo, uhh what fuse can I use instead of the 40 ? Clearly it’s not up to the job 😆
@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
