Been a min since I updated because this sucker’s pretty much DONE! There are quite a few little issues like things still coming loose but I think I’ve got everything threadlocked and placed optimally. I think…I’ve gone on a few 10 mi rides so far and after each one I have to tweak some little things but I’m gonna go ahead and say it’s done for now until I get this enclosure I’m waiting on from psychotiller. Until then I’m riding this thing with the TB enclosure velcroed on. It’s annoying but whatever I make it work.
Got it past 35mph the other day!
I’m waiting on some upgrades in the mail including a better pulley from Brenternet and will switch the gearing ratio from 16:36 to 18:40. Maybe I’ll tack on an additional 1mph to my topspeed. Anyway, I’m pretty happy with it, really just want to have it solid for longer rides without something coming loose or getting a weird sound. I haven’t done a complete range test yet, but I’m thinking I can get around 20 mi or so. The other day I checked my battery during the ride and the indicator read 29%. I thought I had atleast another 5 mi but about 1.5 mi later my speed just slowly sagged down to like 5mph and the indicator read 0%. I called an uber home and charged it up. I know you’re not supposed to run your battery out to 0% but the indicator was misleading! Hopefully I didn’t fuck up my battery doing that. Thanks @Skunk for the deck @torqueboards for all the main parts and everyone else on this forum for helping me achieve this!
