I see a lot of safety gear without plastic hard shells and wonder how they look after sliding on loose gravel? I can’t imagine they survive when I look at all scratches on my plastic shells.
I have broken bushings on the rear hanger again Ordered a lot of replacement parts from trampa yesterday, hope the shipping is faster than the common 1 week.
Unfortunately I have new annoying problems since 1-2 rides, after 10-15 minutes the “hybrid” motor gets sizzling hot (really untouchable, over 85°C) while the other is just warm (about 50-60°C).
So when I accelerate, at about 50% speed there is a hard cut off (100°C) on one motor which leads to very strange “speed wobbles” of the rear truck, the same for braking. When I keep on riding the power is like zero even with full throttle maybe max. 5-10 km/h, the “cold motor” on the master vesc should deliver more power when the second motor has cut off, this is very strange.
A small hope is to change the bearings of the motor (because the can wobbles a bit) and hope I can solve the problem but it also wobbled before without overheating, no idea what’s wrong, damn…
I’m also thinking about how to attach my 12V front light for night rides. I bought a step down converter but don’t like to add more wires and drain the main battery so I’ll use a 3s1p Li-ion (VTC5) with BMS in an enclosure plus mounted light as separate unit with velcro (hope it holds). And yes, I solder Li-ion
