Hi All, Tom here, with the ePower Challenge race (e-assist racing) out of Portland Oregon. As some of you already know, we last year hosted a new category of...
One solution would be to require a watt meter for entering the race. A watt meter is a very useful device for an assist bike and really should be part of the...
Hey Everybody, I am running a Crystalyte motor at 48 volts. Currenlty I'm using SLA and I have 4 9AH 12 volt batteries. I want to get a little more torque...
Wow! Quite impressive. What are your specs? Like what's top speed, range etc.? This looks beyond my budget though. And I don't even know how to work with disc...
