Connector Notes
Did I say mostly photos?
I’ve been piling notes into a markdown document…
General thoughts
for motor sensors, buy in pairs. For charge ports, better to be able to buy separate M/F.
plastic connectors have o-rings and screw-on caps
plastic 13mm connectors have high current pins
https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/18/connector-basics-1696487.pdf
Metal Body GX series
metal bodies
can buy m and f separate
many types
rubber caps
not waterproof
My thoughts: since not waterproof, not appropriate for permaconnected

Not before giving plenty on non scientific , scientific evidence for their existence and subsequent extinction… maybe, probably true.
But back to this mostly picture build… following.

Adding to my watch list.
Solid component list. This will be a nice build!
Have you considered internal FlexiBMS instead of the external BMS? You should be able to fit it in. It’s very small. Having used both external BMS and internal Flexi, I wouldn’t go back. It just makes charging so much more convenient.

Thanks @janpom . I want it, but it’s a little expensive for me, and not so available. And a bit too new – for BMS I want to get in at version 1.0 or later. @DerelictRobot make your version soon!
For convenience, I think initially I’ll check balance before and after rides and charges, but after I understand how it’s behaving, most likely I’ll charge to 90-ish percent, discharge to like 40%, and balance once a month if that. Mostly just ignore that it has no bms.

Are those tires and tubes newly delivered this week? I’ve been trying to inquire if the v2 tubes were in stock on the website and haven’t been able to get a response.

How do we find out? Anyone have markings to compare the old and new?
