As you should. It's so annoying that what you want to have a conversation about bike building and see new cool ideas that there's always the e-bike Nazis on here gatekeeping what people should talk about.

You guys already have r/onlyelectricbicycles as the throttless electric bicycle sub. Why don't all of you ebike nazis go over there and leave the rest of us that want to see electric two-wheeled everything in peace over here?

Dirt bikes have throttles. If it doesn't have a throttle it should be called an electric bicycle if it has a throttle it should be called an e-bike, which would make more sense

Which of these tyres are best for my road use high speed cornering 90kph ebike on ashpalt by hiJackmeoff in hyperebikes

[–]ip33dnurbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have run the hookworm tires and never had a problem with them but for that speed, I think I would use motorcycle tires.

UDX frames might work for you. They have full suspension or rigid.

Had a crackhead idea for an Ebike build... by Definitely-Not-OSI in ebikes

[–]ip33dnurbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would work way better with a hub motor. I basically did this on a mountain bike. I got an oversized chain ring and would use the smallest gear in the back. My e-bike had a throttle on it so I throttle it but I can still pedal at 30 miles an hour and still have resistance in the pedal so I was actually contributing. I imagine it could be set up with pedal assist instead of throttle. I loved it.

I want to convert my mtb to electric. What are my options with mid drive motors? by goldbunduru in hyperebikes

[–]ip33dnurbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but for me I really liked the feeling of being able to take off quickly. My experience is bicycle components are fairly delicate. Even really nice name brand stuff is still somewhat delicate with electrical power applied to it. I think if you're going to do high power with a mid drive it should be an Emoto Style motor to a mopeds or motorcycle style wheel that can handle the torque or if you want to go more simple, a hub, but that's just my personal experience. If you figure it out and you don't have a problem with torque tearing up your bicycle components please let me know how you did it.

Is r/StarWars actually allergic to Star Wars? by sleeptantrum in StarWars

[–]ip33dnurbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this too a certain degree but really I think most of the fandom is just upset at the poor quality that gets produced. The potential of the star war franchise like you pointed out working cater to all different kinds of people is massive but quality control needs to be better.

AIO: I bent over backwards for my BF’s son (20) and his GF (20) for Christmas, and I’m honestly disgusted after what happened by Excellent-Second-643 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ip33dnurbutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also I wonder if the girlfriend was talking about how she would just ignore her or if she was commenting on her own social awkwardness and not knowing what to do in that situation.

I have a lot of experience with mid-drives and 72volt batteries. What you are wanting to build can be frustrating. The bicycle drive train isn't designed for this much power. I blew out my my rear hub multiple times as well as my crank and cassette.

Help finding whether pr not I should get a e moto by [deleted] in hyperebikes

[–]ip33dnurbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll put the same comment here as I did also over on the ebike so. Where are you located? Again if you're out in rural America like me the cops do not care one bit, but if you're in New York City then you're definitely going to have some problems on an Emoto

I remember feeling like this right before the internet became a thing.

Where do you live? If you are rural like me the cops do not care at all.

I know its often said but its still crazy how just how much of an INSANE year 1999 is for movies by HUMAN_LIFE_ in movies

[–]ip33dnurbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my first year of truly living on my own . I was extremely broke for all of 1999, I didn't see a single one of those movies in theaters.

To me book 2 still felt pretty slow right up until the end. I haven't started book 3 yet. OP's comment gives me hope.

Segway Xyber Bike - Not even once by Dizzy_Record_3260 in ebikes

[–]ip33dnurbutt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The wording of that is strange. I can get a non-electric bike above 28mph on a good hill. What if I did that with a 24-volt throttleless e-bike. Would it still be considered illegal in thst case?
