Description: I'm too lazy to redo all the documentation I put on the Endless-Sphere here: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4102 A few pics! The BD36 after it's been ground smooth, sanded, and clear-coated. The new 72V battery block (soon to be replaced with lithium). The modified controller innards. The backpack. And the bike. And a video of the wheel spinning up (how do I embed this...?): |
