Again, thank you. My hope is to resuscitate the Smart Shocks, given piezoelectrics are fairly robust and I have a recent electrical engineering graduate that suffers from the same delusions on two wheels as me, there’s hope. I’ll take some pics ;) Again Thank you

Granted I have a myopic focus on suspension development and handling (coming from motorcycling to MTB) but personally would start the modern era with 29ers and 650b. By 97 there had been a dozen years of full suspension. Just a single year outside of 97 would be my Holy Grail. The Cannondale...

Thank you I have an 857 that was slated for “upgrading” (but was third in line) However last night I acquired a 4000. Was wondering if you knew of any tutorials/hacking of the Smart Shocks? (Testing, electronics repair) I do note rebuild seal kits are available though I’d likely use such an...

No brakes, attacked by a spaycan of red paint, it would be generous to call those tires. The carbon fiber might be sound. I’d be interested in trying to salvage the Smart Shocks. Acquired for less than my bar tab on a day off

Just an old motorcyclist that probably wouldn’t be walking and talking without the daily exercise. My upgrades include body armor, it’s newest upgrade is a 5Kw motor @ 280nm assuming I can hang that much battery mass

A Frankenbike geometry experiment. While it bears a resemblance to a bike, it’s actually a chain stretcher with an ejection seat. It does have the advantage of a 45 degree lean angle without a pedal strike. Everyday all weather for the last three years. Including have my front forks cut out from...

Sorry those links don’t directly link, some navigation of the site would be required Main Menu > Learn > Motor Power Ratings Main Menu > Tools > Motor Simulator

Might start here https://ebikes.ca/learn/power-ratings.html https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html Personally I’ve only built mid drive motor Ebikes where after brakes and placing the extra mass it’s the chain line and wheel strength that are most important.
