    I could but what's the point, 3 motors, 3 batteries? BMX frames don't have a lot of room for things and that is just adding more components to try and fit 👍

    @@BLUE-uy3fb For ebikes, getting to 60mph is expensive, getting to 40 is pretty cheap. You have to pay a lot for that extra 20mph. Gas bikes also have a huge advantage for going fast as they are designed to do that for a long amount of time (freeway riding). If you run an ebike at highway speeds, even the production ev motorcycles like Zero Motorcycles your ev range drops considerably when going those speeds for any length of time. Same for EV cars going high speeds, towing, etc. EVs are better for slower, stop and go usage like city driving.

    You should always buy type of a plug where you can solder the shield to the connector metal shield separately. In USB the shield and ground are separate things and mustn't be connected together unless you know exactly what you're doing. Shield is basically an extension of the computers metal case and provides shield over the cable. Ultimately shield and the GND of the USB signal are tied together, but this must be done at exactly the right location respecting the circuit diagram and USB specification or you might introduce ground loops and null the effectiveness of the shield altogether.
