Tektro Sensor Cable Adapter

I would love to find a source of cables with the Tekro ej1 connector on one side and the red julet 2-pin on the other side. I've talked to Tekro about it and they don't sell one. The OEM ones I've seen on bikes are supplied by the manufacturer apparently.

I'm just tired of soldering the ends on 😂.

Can anyone identify this connector? Urtopia Carbon Fold

Looking for an extension cable for the tail light on a Urtopia Carbon Fold. Never seen this particular connector. I've looked through the higo and julet catalogs with no luck.

Just drove through a tornado

Just drove my new Trailseeker through a tornado spawning storm. Two observations:

  1. This thing drives like a tank, in the best way. I barely felt the crazy cross winds at all. I could see other cars being pushed around and trees sideways. My TS was stable as could be.

  2. The windshield wipers are too slow when maxed out. The rain was coming down pretty intensely and they couldn't keep up. Based purely on observation, my 24 Outback had faster wipers for sure.

Still 100% love this car.

I'll buy a pizza for anyone who can find me a replacement for this clutch/gear pack.

I am at a complete loss on finding a replacement for this hub motor clutch. Its out of a bafang clone motor on a no name ebike that I am trying to fix for a kid in the neighborhood. The clutch stops engaging when it gets got so I need the entire thing but just the nylon gears.

If anyone can find a semi reputable source to buy one, I'll have lunch sent to you anywhere in the world (at least anywhere I can figure out from my desk haha).

edit: the nylon gears are 37t

Help Identifying Motor Vibration

I'm replacing a motor that was burned up on this no-name emoto. I have this new motor temped into the controller just to test functionality so excuse my hall effect wiring.

With no power the wheel spins smoothly in both directions. When I apply power there is this deeper vibrating that you can feel through the entire bike. The advertised spec were the same as the old one.

5000w 72v

Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

edit: disregard the rim size, if this motor works I'll be relacing it on to the original rim.

How to handle chalkiness before paint?

I have a pretty big two-story house that was painted white a long time ago and the paint has this chalkiness to it. I suspect it needs to be removed before repainting? Does anyone have any insight on what steps would be needed to prep for paint? I have a vision of trying to DIY this, but if the prep is too intensive I might have to outsource it.

Thanks for any info.
