what a dck!! thats some Sht that would go down on the bruce vento trail in st paul. Except it wouldnt be a grampa with the tacks, hahah. With FlatOut i just keep going, some tack holes arent going to stop it. FlatOut can seal holes that are like 1/4" up to 1/2", so the staples are nothing i wouldnt even worry about it. I ride tubes around till they fail in some way Lol. FlatOut is supposed to work for the life of the tire / tube. but it only seals tread punctures

my Flipsky in the VESC app has always read the voltage as 2V under the actual voltage, i have no idea why. I think you are right - the CA3 seems to have the correct voltage. The watts readout between the CA3 and the Flipsky is so close I'm not too concerned about that

i agree Ive got samsung 40T3 in my other bikes. I was EXCITED To hear CYC used VESC for their controller, but I am VERY DISAPPOINTED its closed source and proprietary code. It might as well not be VESC .... Ty for the comment Brother I agree CYC still hasn't quite figured it out.

The nylon gears are used for a reason which is they act as a fuse, it'll break and crumble apart the nylon gears, but nothing else should break. The main limitations of the nylon gears is the phase amps (too much torque will break the nylon), and heat (nylon gets weak when too hot). When I was using a Bafang G62 hub motor and went above 90 phase amps I broke the nylon gears pretty fast. If you upgrade to steel gears, You could run the motor with more phase amps / torque. But then other things inside the motor can break- instead of the nylon gear, you might have to fix the ring gear, or sun gear. Even if the steel gear can handle more heat, the rest of the motor will still fail at about 150C. In my experience the nylon gears work fine, you could make it marginally better with steel gears but it would be loud. and down the line you'd be replacing sun gear, steel gears, and ring gear, instead of some 7$ nylon gears

@EBikeBuilder_ Makes since to stick with Nylon for a fuse and the noise. I like to be as quiet as possible. Your set up is awesome and I love learning from a pro.

the Grin All Axle motor looks cool Id like to try one some day!! and the new "Freegen" or whatever looks interesting, I just wonder how much that will cost since its a relatively new patented thing, and Grin stuff is expensive from the get go

i've noticed for whatever reason, the VESC voltage reading always seems to read 2V lower than the actual battery voltage. No idea with that one, something Flipsky specific perhaps, im not sure. It seems like the CA3 reads the voltage properly; like if I used a multimeter on the battery leads.

in VESC there are profiles , yeah, you can do things like create an "offroad" profile with high power, "eco" mode with low power, there are a subset of parameters available that you can save as part of a profile. And then switch between them quickly, somehow, I think just with the app, Im not sure how to switch profiles with say the CA3 MFSwitch yet

with the CA3 im gonna use it as my display , temp sensor, speed sensor, I'll use it for everything except I think i'll map the throttle in VESC and then have the CA3 throttle set to Pass Through, I think VESC has better options for the throttle ramping. Ive never totally figured out the CA3 throttle ramping tbh

i think the typical method for a third-party controller setup would be to buy the CA3 - SA 'standalone" version, that comes with the Standalone Shunt. But I was able to get it working with my CA3-WPx. I used an adapter Grin makes, to go from the WP8 cable to the 6 pin JST, so i hooked my shunt to the CA3 with that adapter. Then i took a WP8 extension cable, spliced in the throttle, temp sensor, and wheel speed sensor, lmao the good news is it works, Im not exactly sure how to make this video without it being really confusing hahah

best of both worlds, i cant wait to go for a ride !!

does the throttle work? and its just the PAS thats has problems? Or does both the throttle AND pas have problems and feel slow? If something melts all kinds of funny things can happen

Yeah in the Motor CFG under Temperature, its lets you pick a Temp Sensor Type and put in the Thermistor Beta value and all that. and the Temp Cutoff Start and End temps etc. I've used it and it does alright. It has a bunch of Temp Sensor Types like NTC 10K and whatever. And you can use scripting to implement a custom temp sensor and override it with script , I guess, if vesc doent have your temp sensor type implemented

@@stevecumming6427 i have vesc set to show 30mph as the max but the bike can go faster , about 42mph was the max on that ride but i think it happened at the beginning when i was going behind the truck down that hill and not recording Vesc yet. In general i like being able to do more than 30 but yeah not sure about posting videos of that online Lol

You are right the speedo drops to 16mph when coasting, The speed in vesc is calculated from the rpm and the gear ratio and wheel diameter. So the speed looks correct when I’m on the throttle. But when I’m coasting it will only be 16mph etc. its my script that does the “virtual freewheeling” , i think that’s just how fast the chain ring is spinning from the freewheeling, i need to make it so that when I’m going faster it freewheels faster, but the idea is it automatically keeps the motor coasting so there’s not a big jerk when I engage the throttle

@@EBikeBuilder_ sorry for jumping in, what is the problem with posting it online? The other day somebody said something about a portable dyno 😂. I never heard of this shit. I can't imagine anybody dragging that crap around testing people's e-bikes with all the shit going on in the world. And I live in Karen Central. 🙄 Is this actually a thing? Why is everybody so scared to death of e-bikes. One Tesla is about 1,000 e-bikes and nobody scared about those. Every soccer mom/ Karen in the world wants one

​@@BrettWoodBiking ah mostly its just annoying, whenever you post a video and go more than 30mph you get a bunch of karens leaving comments about how there is a federal law and this and that and calling the police and stuff. When I used to do my Cycle Analyst overlay where it would show the speed on the screen, I would get a million comments about how i was going 35MPH instead of 30 or whatever. BUT if they cant see the speed they are none the wiser i guess? I dont go much faster than 30 for most of my riding. They have portable dynos in the UK i think. or those ridiculous european countries where they dont want anyone to have fun. But if people keep riding sur rons on the sidewalk we will probably be there soon. Lol so yeah ill just do 30 most of the time

@@EBikeBuilder_ really? I had no idea people were that miserable. It's got to be a certain age group. Location in the world ... can't imagine being brought in a time place where you're taught not to question anything and it spills over into one's own words policing others. 😂 There's a guy on another channel and he gets flack all the time about not wearing a helmet. Another where they cry about not wearing goggles. Insufferable people.

I saw him again and he was trying to flag me down and get me to stop 😂

@@EBikeBuilder_ stop the video or stop to talk?😂

@@BrettWoodBiking stop to “talk” lol i waved at him and kept going

@@EBikeBuilder_ Smart move. You can never tell what's behind a person's eyes now times.

@@BrettWoodBiking he had a moto helmet on But the one time i did see his eyes he looked like he was into stimulants

Was someone looking at you? 😅

@@patrickoneill1011haha in my case it wasn’t a dog shit haha it felt like i hit a questionable mud pie🤨

@@MarkPesell yes!! 🙌 flipsky 75100 pro v2 👍 get 10$ off with code EBB at flipsky.net 😎 😉

@@EBikeBuilder_ TO LATE I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO

I've been watching and thinking about playing with one ,so thank u

@@ebikingfungi5082 ITS A POWERFUL LITTLE BASTARD LOL

Ooh man I had 500 miles on the Cheetah with the stock setup, and I think i had 1000 or 1200 on it the last time i looked at the cycle analyst, Id have to check again its probably like 1500 or more by now. i went on a bunch of monster long rides. like 50 miles each time, they add up quick. been burning through a pair of the 1 $ brake pads like every few days hahaha

thats right Lol I had more batteries in my backpack than I did at home!!, i still had that 72v upp and a 48v 15ah aventon battery at home. my back is still store Lol it was heavy

@@stevecumming6427 i went through the 21s 5p samsung 20ah, then 25ah of the cheetah 🐆 batteries, and i think 7ah from lil baby samsung , in total i think it was like 65+ miles But when resetting the trip on my cycle analyst and using a bunch of different batteries its hard to keep track haha . I could have maybe skipped reset the trip. But yeah that was nuts never gone that far in my life Haha 😂. I had a whole 20ah of 48v I didn’t tap into. The bike infrastructure gets better towards the cities but is dangerous. Its also better in more expensive places like Stillwater Mn has better trails cuz of all the money there

u are right tho 19Ah on big daddy samsung to be exact. its better to not completely drain them., But i was going the distance on that day Lol

i agree Yes in Minnesota there are a lot of great bike trails!!

Ty Ty that was a MONSTER ride hahah so much fun but i was sore For like 3 days from hanging onto all those batteries in my backpack. lol but i wanna go again It was fun to ride in the city! Thanks for the kind words my friend!
