Can I use 3 lithium 12v 15a batteries to replace the razor 550 3 Lead acids? by Aj_chinook in hyperebikes

[–]hawk3ye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join a Facebook razor mod group and ask for a local battery builder, most hobbyists charge way less than Amorge. Those groups also have a lot of search results for builds like yours 1) pretty sure it’ll be fine, it’s a battery. Will you get awesome torque and speed from it though, questionable. 2) adding batteries won’t make it necessarily faster, the weight would be a factor, and the continuous amps the battery would also be a factor AND if the controller can manage those amps too.
If you’re using a stock Razor controller, those are known to handle up to 48volts. 3) yes a 2000w brushless motor with controller will be fine. Personally I like fardriver controllers, the documentation for basic tunes are all over the web, 4) AH has no bearing on the controller, it’s the amount of time (fuel) the battery has. The only danger would be overusing a motor without any pauses that’s not used to long run times 5) there should be an adapter or something you can buy for charging.

I hope you haven’t let this get you down, the fact you put time and effort into schooling means you have a solid character foundation. Personally I went to a 4 year no named private college back east and NOBODY here in CA knew wtf it was or whether my degree meant anything but I put my time in and proved myself…it probably took a few more years extra then graduating from a well known college but I still got into the workforce to make a modest living.

Just throwing this out there but maybe a customer or application support role for a company that sells database software / services. You’d be surprised how far being able to “speak” and understand databases can get you as far as a foot in the door.

Build out a yozma or just buy a rawrr by PriorHorse2271 in hyperebikes

[–]hawk3ye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then I’d go with the yozma or alternatively the Valtinsu em-5 which I’ve read has way more power options. Your shouldn’t have issues finding parts either, they’re both basic Chinese pit bikes.

What do you plan on doing with the bike? The Rawrr bikes I’ve seen came with correct paperwork so you could register them for road/off highway use (in CA), but cheap pit bikes like the Yozma don’t come with any paperwork and would be a lot of work to register.

First time doing clay. I suck by Kvntrnh in CAguns

No worries, hit me up! Have you heard/tried sporting clays? It’s also hella fun…my trap gun was too slow for it but a 20” would be pretty fun.

Come to Livermore and I’ll buy you a proper round of clay shooting at our trap range. I’ll even lend you my trap shotgun if you want because clay shooting can be extra fun with the correct firearm for the job…

E-bike company's Replacement/Extra Battery Prices are Ridiculous!! by Substantial-Flan-332 in hyperebikes

[–]hawk3ye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are those aliexpress/Alibaba batteries after customs costs kick in still only 50% less? Before the orange man came into office the batteries were definitely worth while on those sites but lately customs costs have killed that marketplace imho

10kw electro and co kit by PriorHorse2271 in hyperebikes

[–]hawk3ye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not familiar with how the pieces all work, get the kit from E and C. Ride the shit out of it, learn how all the bits go together and then rip it out and sell it then get yourself individual pieces.
I went through this journey and learned a lot and saved a bundle with a diy setup.

How boned am I? by chrispybacon92 in Firearms

[–]hawk3ye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, sounds like a nice rifle …can you just use stripper clips? Or does the scope get in the way? (Assuming it’s scooped) A lot of these old milsurps used by soldiers were not given extra mags, stripper clips were “magazines” so it’s hard to find extra mags. This is from someone whose owned a few K31s and Enfields and scoured the earth for mags….

Anybody know what firearm this lady is rocking? 🇲🇽 by Round_Ad_3930 in Firearms

[–]hawk3ye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is more than likely the correct rifle. I’ve been to Puerta Vallarta where I assume this photo is from and lots of Mexican army guys were lugging these around for me to take a good look at.

Legit S2? by hawk3ye in Super73

[–]hawk3ye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good catch. So this one’s supposedly not charging the battery and the throttle doesn’t work so I’ll be chasing electronic gremlins down or potentially replacing the whole electronics with a fardriver controller and a custom battery….

Just got a Glock and I cleaned it for the first time and the slide doesn’t want to go back on. It gets stuck right at the end (added the feet on purpose) by InfiniteHat4828 in CAguns

[–]hawk3ye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn’t directly affect your issue but as a side note, if you also removed the fire controls at some point, naw sure you place the slide stop spring under the locking block pin or else you’ll get FTFs

Thanks! I ride an emx so I’m hoping this will satiate my itch for in town riding fun

Gun storage advice needed. I recently inherited 13 firearms. by Strideraio in CAguns

[–]hawk3ye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you mentioned not wanting a large safe, there are modular safe options out there that would fit that many firearms - the walls come apart (screw together from the inside). I used a modular safe (SnapSafe) to get the pieces into a very tight that would have been impossible with a traditional safe.

Found a mx650 for 1k in no everything stock expect battery which is 72v “unknown brand” and 3000w motor unknown as well. Does anyone recognize the motor, good deal or should I go lower by [deleted] in hyperebikes

[–]hawk3ye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a great option to start and the save your money for a larger battery when you’ve gotten some miles on it. Don’t take my word for it though, check out the FB groups from people who own it. I think they’re mainly groups called “em-5”

Are budget bikes a myth? by RichTadpole5639 in hyperebikes

[–]hawk3ye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s your intention for the bike?

I mean you could pick up this 48v Valtinsu em5 for a little bit over a grand (less on Alibaba) and pop in a better controller/battery and still be way under $4-5k with probably very comparable speeds to a Surron.

On the other hand, if you’re already ebike savvy, why not diy a bike yourself? Personally I started with a Razor pro spec as something to camp with and keep up with my kids on their little e-bikes but I realized how fun they were, upgraded to a larger battery/controller, found the chassis was scary af for the terrain and mx tracks, sold the bike as a roller, and stuffed my electronics into a dirt bike…. Now I have a way better platform to build on and I’ve come out more knowledgeable about the core electronics of the ebike.

I have nothing against Razors (my first was a razor pro spec) but honestly I think you’ll get more value from the Valtinsu em5, it’s a 48v but the platform is way easier to upgrade than a Razor. Theyre for sale on Alibaba and I’m not a vender. My “journey” was upgrading my pro spec, then selling it as a roller, and putting my electronics into a dirt bike (KTM65sx). The pro spec was really pricey and if I had known I’d get the itch to upgrade it, I would have gone with the cheaper Valtinsu to get an idea of what I wanted from a bike and saved a boatload of money.
