One month later, They delivered the V20. I bitched too Amazon. They knocked 280.00 off. I changed the tires, went to hydro brakes I already had. The little bike is pretty damn tight. 28 mph. I have 76 miles on it so far. I did right. I like the rear shock. Oh Lectric saddlebags work on it just fine. A wonder if a 40 amp controller will change things.

Great find with that high quality solar panel. Seen another video showcasing a 200w foldable panel lile this, high quality and expensive as well. i Just ordered my MPT-7210A solar charge controller to experiment charging my 52V battery for my DIY e-bike! Love this setup for E-Bikepacking. I would love to see more on the breakdown of the box, did you add a Solar Boost adapter inline with the panels before the MPTT controler? Solar panel > boost controller > MPTT charge controller > battery? Thx

amazing tune up of this bike, i got it recently and i realized how vulnerable the joint for folding the bike is in the rain i wouldnt call it water proof at all so here is my question what is that thing on your frame covering the entire thing up and did you also add something from the bottom where the cables go inside the frame ? there is a big hole too, one last question how did you change the seat i just got new one but after removing it i realized i have no idea how to take off the last piece of metal from the tube
@SFARCO 2 ай бұрын
Thanks. It's a battery cover I got it from Amazon but I had to modify it a bit. I had to shorten the velcro so it stops at the hinge. Really easy to do, I just cut off the extra velcro and stitched the end so it doesn't unravel. amzn.to/3NHkey5 I did not plug the bottom because I'm worried about trapping water and dirt it there. And the seat post clamps to the seat. Should see a bolt you'll need to loosen.

I Do like it better than my last to or current prototype. Mines light but I got a ways to go. You do want your panels as straight as possible though. I actually run my 5amp panel and set up and with magic diodes I can use a wall charger and panels at the same time for double the current. oh never mind I use the same charger. I like the little box you made that's neat. Awesome vids keep it up! Your 7210A seems to top at the same spot unless I use dual PSU
@SFARCO 3 ай бұрын
Thanks, I know the panels should be flat, but they should also be tracking the sun ideally. This solar panel has more diodes than your typical panel, so it should perform better in partial light. So the plan is to get whatever amount of charge I can while I ride and finish it off when I get to camp. Then I can properly position the panel for maximum energy production.

If you talking about riding full throttle, no pedaling, then no. It's not designed for that. I made it to extend the range for bike camping trips. While riding, it won't be getting full voltage because it won't have the ideal angle to the sun. But when you're at camp, you can angle it properly and get better performance.

I notice what looks to be an extension on the "rest bar" which is used when you fold the bike. I have a 56T Chainring (dumped the 52T stock one) so when i fold the bike, the chainring sits on the ground along with the teeth and chain. Did that come stock or did you add something?

There is a TPU 3d printed cover, but it doesn't really add height. Just offers scratch protection. If I'm looking at the right part. I believe you are referring to the foot that the bike rests on when in the folded position.

This is a very sweet setup and well thought out. I love how the system remains primed due to the marine disconnects utilized.

Thank you so much for any additional information you can offer. This thing seems great!
@SFARCO 4 ай бұрын
Thanks! The main reason was for the marine fittings, to both keep it primed, and leak free. I wanted to keep the fill port clear, so I didn't have to pull a siphon tube out and make a mess when filling. As far as changes, it pretty darn close to perfect for me. With one exception, if I forget to vent the lid for long runs, it will create a vacuum that will stop fuel flow. So I am going to use one of those lid adapters to install a vacuum release.

Anything is possible. And as far as I know, they didn't change the design. They just install a new bearing and seal. But the problem remains, too much slop in the bearing. Check out my pinned comment. There is a company that sells a bushing to replace the needle bearing and removes the excess slop.
