#3Wow, this would have been perfect for me when I was younger. I hope this will become more mainstream, an off roader would really open up the places to explore on a day trip.

#4> the Bosch BMS is part of a DRM setup that pretty much prohibits using 3rd party batteries
Another good reason to fight DRM: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/.

Agreed, highly frustrating this. I found a way to make it work but it would have been a lot better if third party batteries could be supported by the system out-of-the-box without butchering a Bosch pack first.

You probably should add "Show HN:" in front of the title, since it's you who posted and did all this. Thank you for a great article!

Will do. But since it seems to have sunk without a trace I'm wondering if that's even worth it.
And you're welcome, that was a fun build.

Yes, that's thanks to your comment. Was looking forward to some more tips on pack construction and safety, but fine.

#10We have a pretty good network of fire roads in the southern Los Padres National Forest.
Several times recently I have seen hunters and campers using E-Bikes to extend their range into the forest. From what I can tell they use a cargo trailer for gear as well as extra batteries.
It will be interesting to see what other uses being find for E-Bikes as ranges increase.
