huuuugh I don’t know if I should pull the trigger on FS motor for my next build (my first mtb)
Are they good ? Haven’t figured out the Gear ratio yet but 140kv is the way to go right ?
I was gonna get them and dye them black but now I think I want to wait to get white gloves and color them an obnoxiously pink color. Thanks.
I read good things about their bigger motors and at that price, I would buy some too if I didn’t already buy motors for the MTB.
Ratio wise, I think it depends where and how you want to ride. I would go 190kv for 12s and 140kv for higher voltage like 16s or 18s I think.
FWIW, I’ve hear only good things about the latest Flipsky battle-hardened motors, and I have ordered 2 140kv ones for my own eMTB (6384 ones). I’m not after speed though, so I agree with Tamatoa that if you wanted speed as well then go for 190kv. Gear ratio wise you want the highest you can get for a 2WD eMTB
Has anyone got experience of BCH shipping to Europe? I entered my address for an estimate and it just said no lol. I get why shipping batteries across the pond is not a great plan unless they’re definitely set up for it, but motors should be fine
They probably don’t ship to Europe. It would make no sense for them to ship a bike wheel to Europe as little probably cost at least $100. Look on eBay for local European options or shipped from China options for similar hub motors
Yeah cheers, I get serious FOMO when I see their battery options but it definitely doesn’t make sense
I was gonna bundle some with my wheel, but apparently they ship it separately, which was $14 for about $10 worth of batteries, so its a no-go.
I got 4 motors for under $300 thanks for posting this
Glad it can benefit others.
I was pissed I bought before the deals started but I emailed them and cried about it and they hooked me up to the same deal and refunded me the difference.
got myself a pair of 6354 thanks broski for showing us the good deal way
no wayyyy that’s fuckin great
flipsky has a hot sale rn on random items with like 10% + coupons but i dont recommand those bastards until they ship my wheels
Yeah I ordered the cheapest pair of non-battle hardened motors for 120$ and then I emailed asking for canceling cause I wanted to get in on the flash deal for battle hardened ones which they accepted. The flash deal was 115$ so they refunded me 5$ and are supposed to replace my order with those battle hardened motors.
I am glad they didn’t just created a shipping label in the mean time and told me it was too late.
They’re pretty decent about that kinda stuff, they gave me a sale price a couple years ago after id just missed a flash sale
To knock a few more bucks off on Flipsky flash deals try code WELCOMEBACK. Might be the same code they email you if you leave stuff in your cart.
confirm it can be applied to the order
e: holy shit, this pricing is nearly (less than 2% difference) the same as taobao, get on the bandwagon if u need some motors
10 motors? Goddamn
