It is 100% compatible with the stock Zugo Controller and Motor

Unfortunately there are many variables to determine actual range. We do expect you can get same if not more when comparing a stock battery at 15mph vs our 48v battery at 20mph.

Adding a 48v battery with the speed hack really wakes up the bike!

We were hoping no one would catch that. >_<

Your new top speed will vary based on multiple conditions, such as battery voltage, rider weight, road conditions, etc. Adult riders have reported typically 1-3 mph with the speed limiter hack with stock 36v battery, and gains of up to 23mph when paired with the 48v battery upgrade and speed hack.

Thanks for watching our videos! The Jetson Axle is a solid platform, but it sounds like you have quite a powerful setup. We can imagine that much torque would cause some wheelie action! Adding weight to the front is a smart move for better balance. As for the Jetson Haze, it does have a sleek design. If only you'd seen it earlier! Don't worry though, you can still have a blast with your Axle. We hope to offer parts for the Haze soon, so stay tuned for updates! Thanks for sharing your story with us. If you have any other questions or need advice on modifications, feel free to ask!

@@Blacklisted_Garage Yes the Jetson Bolt and Axle both share the same architecture. The black frame is indeed steel; but I just love the design of the Haze. It is the best looking model out of all the other Jetson bikes. In my opinion, the Haze has that Cannondale-like aerodynamic look to it.

Things to note with this upgrade: Headlight output (stays on with power) Will not work with PAS (Pedal Assist) Battery gauge on factory throttle will not illuminate

Your new top speed will be influenced by various conditions, including battery voltage, rider weight, and road conditions. When paired with the 48V battery upgrade, some users have experienced gains of up to 23 mph.

Yup! Check out our other video where we run the FAFO controller with our 48v battery, we were able to reach 26mph on the stock motor. th-cam.com/video/MHRrhSXvG9A/w-d-xo.html

Our 36v and 48v batteries are sized for the most you can fit into the stock location without modifications to the casing.

Yup the only thing done here is the 48v battery. We have not speed tested it but we expect it to do around 14mph.

The screen is part of our Controller/LCD package for the Zugo fafomodz.com/products/zugo-controller

The battery connector will be the same as the factory Zugo connector (XT60) you can use any battery you would like, it just needs to be 48 volts.

@@Blacklisted_Garage thanks 🙏

Its been working great for us, we have logged about 40 hours on it with machining aluminum. I think the black wheels you're referring to are just nuts for the side cover, it does not come with any knurling tools.

it can go to the thousandths if you're measuring in inches and hundredths for metric.

Thanks for tuning in! While I'm just getting started myself, I'm really happy to hear that the videos have been helpful for you! We're eager to learn more about what you're working on. Feel free to share more about your business whenever you're ready!

We will have one up shortly! We've added it on our list of videos to make :)

This was definitely just to test the limits, so we don't expect it to last long being pushed at 40mph :). Agreed, I'm sure there are many other builds that exceed 40mph, but usually see speed photos posted from the controller display and not gps measurement.

This would be considered a OXA tool post.

Thanks for your interest! However, I'm sorry to say that we've decided not to offer a motor upgrade for the Jetson Bolt Pro at the moment. After careful consideration, we found that the available motor options didn't meet our quality standards. We wouldn't want to offer a part that we don't believe will provide a long, trouble-free experience.

Please check out vesc-project.com/ for more information

@@Blacklisted_Garage what if I did yalls 48v battery with the speed hack and a upgraded motor you think I can get to 30mph?

The stock controller will not be able to provide enough power to reach your speed goals, you will need an upgraded controller.

There are several variables that will determine the range you'll get with the 48v battery and controller setup. Our direct plug and play 48v battery has a 9.9Ah capacity. To estimate the range accurately, you'll need to consider the wattage of the motor you plan to use, as well as the average speed you intend to ride at. These factors will play a significant role in determining the range you can expect.

We also provide a link to vesc-project.com/ which will provide you with more information and details on the firmware that the speed controller is installed with.

I appreciate you sharing your experience with the speed flasher. The speed flasher is designed to remove the speed limit on the controller, allowing the bike to go faster than its stock speed. The controller stops providing power to the motor at a certain RPM from factory, which is equivalent to about 15mph. Once the speed limiter is removed, the new top speed is determined by various factors, with the battery voltage being a significant one. If you're using the factory battery and it's worn or aged, you may not see much of a gain in speed despite removing the speed limit. With our 48v battery, for example, you can expect to achieve around 21mph with the same setup. I hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.

@@Blacklisted_Garage this was my brother that sent this i have the jetson bolt i was just wondering if you can try to make one for the jetson bolt if you can

Unfortunately you would need to upgrade the controller on the Bolt model to get more speed out of it.

@@Blacklisted_Garage how do i do that

We recommend taking a look at some Jetson Bolt specific groups for recommendations on what people use for controller upgrades, you will need to do custom wiring for it to work with your application.

We're working on it :)

We'll do our best to answer any questions you may have.

Can you send link where to get this brake

The FAFO Controller provides the regenerative braking seen in the video. fafomodz.com/products/fafo-controller-standard-crazy-cart

Thanks for the tip! We actually ended up slackening the bolts on the motor to fit the belt and also used it to adjust the belt tightness, just as you suggested. We weren't entirely sure if that was the proper way since we didn't fully disassemble the motor from the lathe to inspect, so your confirmation is much appreciated. Glad you're enjoying the videos! 👍

Hey there! Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your thoughts. Incorporating a radius turning ability on the plinth sounds like a cool addition! We went with tapping the M10 bolt into the aluminum plinth to keep things simple and maintain the original hardware. You make a good point about potential issues with the aluminum stretching over time. If we ever encounter damaged threads, we'll definitely consider your suggestion of drilling it through and using a longer bolt. Thanks for the tip, and happy crafting! :)

Thanks for the suggestion!

According to the spec sheet, this machine features an MT3 style chuck. While 4 jaw chucks are available in MT3, we've opted to stay with a 3 jaw chuck for our current tasks. It proves to be more efficient since we rarely need to remount a piece to achieve a 0.010-inch spec, and we're mainly working with round bars at the moment. However, we're intrigued by the idea of trying the 4 jaw chuck eventually, especially for working with square bars and other shapes in the future!

Although we haven't personally installed it on a Jetson Bolt (non-Pro) ourselves, numerous community members have successfully swapped the Bolt and Bolt Pro controllers, reporting it as a direct swap in terms of connectors. In this scenario, the FAFO Controller will also seamlessly integrate into the Bolt model!

Yup this is for the Bolt Pro and Atlas

@@Blacklisted_Garage thank you

Instead of the 36v batteries, we've got packs in the same size but at 48v. However, we've chosen to stick with 36v for now to enjoy that extra range. Adding the 75100 + MY1020 combo would definitely give this a noticeable boost in pep for anyone seeking an upgrade!

:)

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts! That's a cool idea to use the old toolpost and the cross slide for cutting angles and keeping tools set up on it. We'll hang onto the old parts for those rainy day jobs when we need to cut some angles. Glad to have you subbed to our channel, and yeah, let's definitely catch up later!

Yeah, we get where you're coming from! It might seem like an odd choice, but for us, we don't do taper cuts in our work. So, we figured it was worth swapping out for a more rigid setup with the Plinth base. It's all about what works best for your specific needs and preferences.

Thank you for sharing! we're glad to hear you've had success manually filing the tool holder! We do have one that is extremely tight fitting and we may try your method on this one, at least to get it started before we finish it with lapping compound!

Thank you for bringing up this important safety consideration. While we do assume the risk of wearing gloves ourselves, it's crucial for everyone to be aware of the potential risks associated with wearing gloves around rotating machinery. Gloves can potentially get caught in the machine and cause harm. Safety should always be the top priority when working with machinery, and we appreciate your reminder to prioritize safety at all times.

I do agree that, in general, wearing gloves while working on a lathe is a bad practice. At the makerspace where I go when I need the larger lathe or mill, one risks a very severe reprimand if not being told your shop time is over for the day for wearing gloves while operating the machines. However, those gloves are far less dangerous than cloth or leather gloves. The glove material will very easily tear instead of pulling the hand into the rotating mass. However, speaking as someone who has worn similar gloves for about 30 years and as a part of my work I have to perform surgery with cosmetic concerns, all gloves like that will degrade one's sensation. Only the most expensive ones (specifically manufactured and packaged for surgical use) interfere the least. To use at a home shop, they would be cost-prohibitive. Examination gloves, or mechanic's gloves like those shown, are inexpensive but also degrade light touch sensation the most. Wearing them while working around the many chemicals we use in the shop would be recommended. Wearing them while operating a lathe is demonstrating poor safety practices that, for someone who is inexperienced, does not understand the risks, and decides on leather or cloth gloves instead, can easily cause a disabling injury on a machine like this. On a larger lathe, it has caused fatal injuries.

Thank you for the clarification!

It's exciting to hear that you've acquired a slightly larger LMS lathe and are currently working on scraping it. What model did you end up with? Scraping is indeed a fascinating technique and can result in significant improvements in precision and performance. We'd love to hear more about your scraping process and any improvements you've observed in your lathe afterward. Feel free to share your experiences with us!

With the micro USB port, using a micro USB Bluetooth dongle instead of a wired connection is an interesting idea. However, we haven't heard of anyone attempting this method, so we cannot guarantee its compatibility or functionality. That being said, we are currently working on a dedicated Bluetooth unit that will be compatible with this system. This unit will plug into separate connectors on the board, providing a reliable Bluetooth connection.

This is exciting! Be sure to reach out via email if you have any questions about the hardware!

We apologize for the inconvenience! Links for the installation kit and drift bar will be posted soon! The install kit, which will facilitate the installation of the drift bar, will be available shortly. Thank you for your patience!

Thank you for your comment and your interest in our setup! We're glad you like the setup. However, it's important to note that the combination of our battery and the 3000W motor was primarily used to showcase the speed capabilities of our battery and controller. Our battery was originally spec'd for the stock motor and controller, but we wanted to demonstrate that it could push even faster speeds. In reality, when powering the stock motor and controller, the battery operates at a very low duty cycle, meaning it doesn't work as hard as it did in the demonstration. We've only run about 20 miles through this setup so far, and we haven't yet run through a full battery cycle. Based on the specifications of our battery (48V and 20A continuous output), if we were to run the battery at its full potential, it would likely only last about 30 minutes.

Awesome thanks so much for the information. I'm looking forward to doing my own build soon.@@Blacklisted_Garage

Pushing more amps through the motor won't necessarily "burn it up". We've personally put over 200 miles on this setup while riding on flat ground without any issues. However, it's crucial to be mindful of heat buildup when pushing more amps through the motor. While increased amperage can produce more heat, it's essential to monitor the temperature and avoid putting excessive load on the motor and controller to prevent overheating the components.

Yes, you can connect another pedal, similar to the throttle one, to activate regenerative braking. However, after testing, we decided against this option for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it would require either cutting a hole in your frame for the throttle or adding an adapter to mount the pedal onto the frame without cutting. Secondly, the latter option would position the pedal a couple of inches closer to the rider's body, resulting in a cramped cockpit and restricted foot movement. Therefore, we ultimately decided against pursuing this option.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Adding a 48V battery to the stock, unmodified controller does provide more torque, but due to the speed limit applied in the controller, it tends to max out fairly quickly. We're glad to hear that you were able to enhance your experience by adding the speed flasher, which unlocks the full potential of the 48V battery with the stock modified controller. It's great to hear that both you and your daughter are enjoying the increased speed and performance.

Thank you for your keen observation. The lathe is actually bolted down onto a Husky tool box with semi-large caster wheels. While there may be some slight movement, it's worth noting that the tripod holding the camera is quite flimsy and tends to exaggerate any movement from the tool box. However, I'll certainly look into ways to stabilize the tool box without sacrificing the caster wheels. Your feedback is much appreciated!

The black box connected to the bike is the speed flashing unit. Its purpose is to reprogram the stock controller, allowing for a higher speed limit. You can find more information about it here: fafomodz.com/products/jetson-bolt-pro-speed-limiter-flash

@@Blacklisted_Garage ok thanks
