the rack pretty much has to be where it is, if its any farther forward (which it was when I first assembled it), its both quite tilted, and the Moxie suspension seatpost runs into the battery. also, i'm at the limit for wire lengths.

I've got some green, blue, yellow PP30 connectors coming in a couple days, when they get here, I'm going to rewire the controller, and take it out of the bag, bolt it to the top of the rack as far forward as I can. the controller really doesn't weigh much so doesn't impact the balance.

in spite of the rear weight, the bike does NOT have a tendency to wheelie unless you throw your weight back while whomping on the pedals... I just weighed the whole thing with a bathroom scale... me == 225. me holding bike == 288 lbs. QED, bike 63 lbs.


have I mentioned how much I hate JST-SM connectors? everything but the three main power wires and the battery leads are JST-SM, ugh.
