    Interesting looking folding bike

    I've seen this bike few times. They are building the bike for its design before its function. It's heavy (24.5kg), isn't compact when folded, doesn't fold quickly, doesn't roll easily when folded and IS expensive! So many bad points for a futurist design. A better bike I would mod would be te...

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    No, the pack is quite overpowered for my use. It doesn't get warm at all.

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    Ok, time to make my battery box waterproof. I'm planning to wrap it with Waterproof fabric: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATERPROOF-BLACK-NYLON-FABRIC-150CM-PER-MTR-4OZ-MINIMUM-ORDER-4MTRS-/141191236520?pt=UK_Crafts_Fabric&hash=item20dfa74ba8 And use velcro to close it all together...

    Dahon convertion for sale - £150.00

    I think it's a very good deal. Maybe you should try ebay. You'd definitely find some bidder. However, I think you'd need to accept to post it in ebay. I'm in london, so I'm probably a bit too far for the bike.

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    God damn universal bleeding kit: None of their thread fits my chinese brake one (on the right)... I have to send it back to the seller. I think it was a mistake to buy a no name disc brake as bleeding as well as brake pad seem to be impossible to source :(

    Dahon Jetstream conversion

    Purchased it... Now I just have to wait until the bottle arrive... Another problem, the cover starts to disintegrate: I wonder if I can do something to have something more durable? I need to make it waterproof too!

    Compact tandem

    Absolutely, I'm considering that! That makes me think again about the stability issue I had with my bikeseat setup: Maybe I shall get a bike with fat tyre and long base to convert with a bike seat again as best option?

    Compact tandem

    Hey patpatbut, I do not want a lateral folding mechanism. It's good to fold the bike in a car but absolutely not in a lift or any compact area with people. I don't think it would work very well especially if I add battery on the side of the bikes and 2 motors... Something smaller is...

    How would you build a 1kW SEL?

    But the problem with small in-wheel motor is that they are not able to deliver 1KW power..

    How would you build a 1kW SEL?

    You need to get a scooter with motors inside the wheels: https://www.coolpeds.us/product-specs.html Otherwise the chain gets worn really fast and maintenance is a nightmare

    I cannot find spot weld professionals!

    For the dimension of the battery, you have need at least 28.28*28.28cm right angle triangle (2.02cm*14 cells). That's for inner dimension of the battery box. The outside dimension would probably be closer to 29cm*29cm (depending on the material used). And that's for a perfect right angle...

    I cannot find spot weld professionals!

    I mean unknown brand. I purchased 10 of them for extensive testing: - discharge test at 3C over 50 cycles allowed me to project over 80% capacity after 500 cycles. - they have higher true capacity than others cells. - I don't know if they have good calendar life however. So bet would be in this...
