@blkwalnutgrwr That 10a Ego is impressive, about the same as a Jw or Chi extended battery for a XR (567wh).

@Swinefeaster The stock Plus is 130 wh and the Xr is 340wh. Adding a 5a Ego will give 252wh+130wh = 382 wh. Slightly more than XR range.

@lemur
I made new rails as the Pint rails are too short, These rails are XR length and I can use XR bumpers, footpads and fasteners.
The "hoop" is to add strength as the motor is no longer a structural member, also the hoop will be a rear mounting point for a custom fender.

@blkwalnutgrwr
I assume you're running a Plus and an external Ego battery. What I did was to use a printed XR battery box with the Plus lid and broke apart a 5 amp Ego battery and reconfigured the layout, added a14s bms, rewired the charging circuit to use the original charge port. The Ego pack was a pain to break apart, but the cell groups had tabs that I soldered together. I'm waiting for my Kiilguard 6.5 to arrive, getting excited!

@Lia Thank you very much. The P.O. blew this bms and bought a JWFFM chip, another Pint bms to run his Pint for a while, then he decided to part the Pint out, bought a XR and sold me this blown one and the JWFFM chip for $200 cdn. I may be out the cost of the bms, and a few components.

I'm trying to repair a Pint bms, the U1 chip (ina240) blew out and took two traces with it. The damage was from a vnr gone wrong. I removed the battery connector to gain access to remove the chip. The top of the chip is gone and I don't know the chip orientation on the board. Does the dot on the new chip point towards the "indent" on the printed figure on the board? I also plan to replace the two mosfets.

@Sirgu
No, you're right, technically it's rear shock since it's mounted behind the axle, but since the shock is pointed forward, I called it front shock. I'm replacing the Pint rails, they're not long enough. I found 1-1/2x3/4x1/8 inch 6063 channel at Princess auto, of all places, 6063 isn't as strong as 6061 but hard to find 6061 in that size.
$30 Canadian for 8 feet of 6063 channel.

@blkwalnutgrwr
Definitely, my XR with the extended battery is a bear to lug around and some of the euc's weigh 50lbs and up, but you don't have to carry an euc except going upstairs.

@Sirgu
Thanks. I haven't weighed it yet, but it'll be heavy. I will make it out of aluminum next time.

The suspension works great with 50psi for my weight, I have to install the electronics next.
