Times are tough for everyone. I guess thatā€™s whatā€™s left after Optomus has to sell off his body panels for a battery replacement. So sad. :cry:

Beautiful photo! Did you use some sort of special filter or editing, or do you just have a super fast lens?

Itā€™s kinda fast, itā€™s a Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4. I also played a bit with radial filters in Lightroom :sweat_smile:

What connectors are those?

HIGO connectors bought from https://www.e-bike-technologies.de/index.php/en/

Really expensive but wanted to give them a try. Also bought them before this whole HFI thing was a reality for the Focbox Unity soā€¦ :man_shrugging:

Itā€™s specs are: 12s 9p 25AH battery from recycled hoverboard packs with 12s 100A smart BMS. The drive train is a 500W rear direct drive hub, and a rewound 80kv 80100 outrunner with 2 stage reduction, first being belt and second being chain. Both are powered by vesc 6+ā€™s connected via can bus and I have a Sony Xperia mounted to the handle bars always on the VESC app as a dashboard. Pushing 50 battery amps each, and 85-95 phase amps each. Top speeds about 28-30mph with a full battery. It seeā€™s about 4400watts being pulled during hard acceleration, and will wheelie by just leaning back. The weird part of the design is I got rid of the back disk break so itā€™s only regen braking in the back. But so far it works fine, even on trails.

Nice

This has the potential for some interesting tests, seeing if one motor is better than the other in different scenarios, like using the hub only when low power is required

Yeah, itā€™d be cool to test that. I originally was just planning the 80100 but it was getting too hot and didnā€™t have as much torque as I wanted. It was either add forced air cooling or water cool it, or add another motor so it doesnā€™t have to work as hard. They both give me a pretty similar WH/mile If only using one, leaning to the hub being more efficient. I also swapped the bearings on the 80100 so thereā€™s more drag from the bearing seals.

Messed it up a littleā€¦ I expected ShredLights SL200s, didnt know there are regular unnamed onesā€¦
Got them for like 60ā‚¬ new with four sets of two mounts i could choose from

did he at least say they are normal ones but you were a sleepy head or did he do false advertising like the guy you bought 8 screws from but only shipped 7.
