Default Re: Back to the beginning

After trying to make the chain drive fit with a sledge hammer adjustment to the frame, I scraped it. I moved the rhino drive to a 26" bike I had been using for the hub motor. I never did like that hub motor, so I just put it in a corner. I might resurrect it one day but not right now.

I have a very hard time mounting the 26" bike. It does ride good though. I still think there is something terminally wrong with the controller I bought. It just shuts down for seemingly no reason. now it is possible that it the motor is trying to draw more amps than the controller is designed for but I thought that it would just supply the max amps it is designed to deliver regardless of the demand. I don't know but I'm going to do a lot of testing before I take this thing more than a mile from home. I wonder if it has a defective part since it seems to do it after it has run a while and I guess heated up a bit.
