So I just received something in the mail that allows me to convert the 18-20v from the solar panel into 36-42v needed to charge the my ebike battery via a small MPPT charge controller. In theory this should work via my brief testing with it so far. Now it's time for a test ride!

I read your comment again I think I understand now that you are wondering if you can use MC4 connectors on a cable to a DC plug directly into your power station? Solar generators have mppt charge controllers inside of them already so yes you can do this.

​@@TheOneGoodRoadwait the eco worthy has a mpp inside already? So i can just use the "merger adapter" taking two mc4s and outputting it as dc?

Not exactly, no. But almost all Solar Generators or Portable Power stations can charge via power directly coming from the solar panels. Because they have built in MPPT charge controller inside of them.

@@TheOneGoodRoad just realize when you do that even if your converter was 100% efficient and its not you will lose a third or so of the wattage. So if your getting 90 watts x 3 270 watts total at 20 ish volts and you go to 36 your going to get 180 watts is perfect scenario cool panel direct sunlight . Honestly my math is not precise because 20 is not a third of 36 and you want to be higher than 36 to charge a 36 volt battery and there's no way to know the efficiency of what you have so honestly best case your solar set up would actually charge a 36 volt battery at a rate of around the 125 watt range. So assuming that e bike has the simplest gear hub type 250 watt motor you're looking at it taking twice as long to charge than ride. BUT If your bike has a multi mode controller and you put it in its lowest power and speed mode on level ground you maybe just might be able to run infinitely when the suns up.

Well if it breaks it is covered under warranty and it's a very big tough zipper, I do enjoy its convenience.

That one was a 54cm I believe but I prefer 52cm.

I just got back from a 4 day 75k hike and it does the job. One of the main features I like about the backpack is that there's a zip that allows you to get quickly into the entire bag and then it zips up the entire bag again. It's not the best backpack it's definitely a budget backpack in terms of comfort but it does a job for most people.

It was from an old trek city bike. Seems to be brandless 😉

It's true at the moment they are aimed at the premium market. I hope that could change, I'd like to see a competitor against quadlock to offer more reasonable prices for the rest of the mass market. 😉

I thought that might be the case! Thanks for testing!

Do you mean hydraulic? If so mechanical brakes can be just as good. 👍🏻

I'd say it's a tiny bit on the narrow side but close to normal

Ok thanks. Too bad.

If you have a car and your looking for an alternative mode of transport, it's definitely worth considering. If you want to carry a lot of weight on the bike but move around like your riding a carbon road bike, it's worth it. For people with injuries, disabilities or recovery from surgery it's a game changer. If you have solar panels, it's a no brainer to also have an e-bike! 😉 I still ride it as normal without assistance cause I love the sport of cyclin as well!

@@TheOneGoodRoad I ACCEPT THAT :)

When crossing Australia I took that much water, but I went across America in spring/summer which helped. Thanks for the tips 👍🏻

Well it depends on the tricycle does it have a rack?

You can but I wouldn't recommend it 😉

@@TheOneGoodRoad why? 😅 But i mean for road use

They are such skinny tires, that's why! 😉 I prefer 26-28mm or even 32mm but then you start getting slowed down by the thickness of the tyre.

Hello there. Honestly it's been quite some time since I've been working with route planning apps like this. I recommend these videos I made which might provide you with some useful information? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h365eHpmbsiCntksi=Fr7-MVXxFySUnsgF - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_PYoqZi6prd9ksi=KP8EFuCweFh3ZOxp Also checkout this website for combining GPX files. - gpx.studio If possible I recommend avoiding using MyMaps for the planning custom lines. I only use MyMaps as a free way to display my maps on my website and on any phone running Google Maps. Otherwise there are many other alternatives to MyMaps for the route planning part. That being said you can use MyMaps and it gets the job done.

​@TheOneGoodRoad Thanks for your response anyway. I found the origin of the problem, and it seemed to be the number of points. I started using some other websites to modify/cut/fusion my itineraries, and it now seems to be OK 👍!​@@TheOneGoodRoad

It's indicated on the tyres. Max pressure if your mostly going to ride on tarmac, way less pressure if your going off road for more grip.

@@TheOneGoodRoad ty.🙏

It's the model before the Jari series.

Well if you do Couchsurfing there... You will not be bored I can tell you that!

@@TheOneGoodRoad But I'm curious about how some bad Indonesians behave ?

One word... Bipolar...

@@TheOneGoodRoad wow. Really ? Girl ? Guy ?

Yes I have found this dilemma. But one work around I found is you make the 3rd click the adjustment you need to push the front mech further out, then it rubs far less. But is it a big job to get the shifting to work flawlessly. But for the price point you literally can't find better, even 2nd hand shifters aren't near this price point. They work well enough for my needs 😉

@@TheOneGoodRoad Yeah, you got the point., 80 or 90% of normal causual riders won'/t even norice rhis small rubning in last two gears. I am pretty much obssesed with perfection and that is why I decided to swap for Shimano Sora shifters. Nevertheless, I am pretty much convinced that Sensah shifters will work absolutely perfect with Sensah deraileurs. I will build the bike for my wife with Sensah components so I will test it from the first hand.

I'm having the same issue with my shifter. Ignite + Tiagra 4600 = rubbing on low or high. Have you built the other bike you mentioned using the Sensah FD? Any difference?

After some research, I learned that the Claris R2000 and Sora R3000 FD have a different pull rate cable (1.4 vs 1.7), so the shifter pull more cable than the shifter needs to. It's the same as Tiagra 4700, GRX and 11s FD. So you'll need an FD that uses the old pull rate for it to work properly, such as the Sensah one. For my case, probably it's due the cage width. Funny that I've never had this issue with MTB FD. I used 11s FD with 9S chain for a long time with any issues at all. Maybe there are tighter tolerances in Road parts.

There are three "clicks" so in theory it could work with three speed but I would just go for there 3x9 speed shifters

​@@TheOneGoodRoadThere are 4 positions. Two for shifting and two for trimming (it moves the derailleur slightly to stop chain rubbing). It will not work with 3 chainrings.

Still doing well, I use it now and then for everyday things.

Sounds awesome... 😎 Here's a video which also has a Part 2 explaining my advice for bikepacking in NZ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWOTnIGFiq2sm6s For the maps I have them on my website you just have to simply zoom in on NZ to see the map in detail and it can be loaded onto almost any phone with Google Maps. www.theonegoodroad.com/p/travel-map.html Good luck! 👍🏻

Not as simple as that with units like these. Sometimes they calculate the Watt Hours via the DC power which is not the same as the AC for example.

A very custom one

Points noted 👌🏻

There are sections out n the west where it is tolerate due to no effective alternatives.

So far I've been fairly impressed with there customer service care, considering that they are a small company and based over in HK. I've had one unit sent out to replace another unit and they honoured the request. Caution though that this is a new company and I'm sure they will iron out their details in the future with further refinements just like many other companies in this sector. Enjoy their competitive prices while stocks last! 😉

Pretty impressive for the price... 😉
