Aloha from Puna rainforest! I have a sweet update. after getting by with running the cooling / vent fan , repurposed from a scrapped hybrid car, it finally quit 1 day, and of course all my temporary hookups could be at fault , but it seemed maybe the fan itself quit, so, i tried my 2nd purchase from our great asian builders, the small board with the silver knob, about a $3 part, on another from my pile of spare fans, after getting to the 3rd try, smoking 2 of the fans, the result is i have a variable speed cooling fan that works great!! so good i might permanantly wire it, OUT OF FIELD TEST MODE! i get excited every time i click and turn that knob, and that repurposed, what was trash fan cools my East German Shepherd very well, sometimes she puts her mouth in front of the output vent like eating up the cool air, i just love what our Asian builders are doing with us, ALSO: my first of it's kind man sized etrike is ready to ship, big frame, 26x4 wheels and tires, 2 motors, 2 batteries and full suspension that actually performs!! wow!! more global cooperation and support,

THAT is something that I would like to see!! " my first of it's kind man sized etrike " Are you able to post some photos of it??
yes! thank you! i wanted to add the video here but it wouldn't let me post the mp4 format, so, i have 2 posts on a Facebook page Strickly Hub Motors, i stretched the bike builders current production parameters, it's been about a year, and it should ship this week, but here are screen shots of my FB share in the last 3 days. if you can't get on the FB page i can do some transfers to get the stills here but i don't know what to do about the video, do you?Screen Shot 2025-05-13 at 12.07.35 PM.pngScreen Shot 2025-05-13 at 12.08.03 PM.png

OK, I see the pictures! Very good indeed. I had not thought about reverse on a electric bike, but it makes a lot of sense. That is a beautiful creation indeed!! THANKS for posting the photos!!
