FalconEV 19" triangle bag.

[V_Mark]

My only problem with resting it all the way at the bottom is that when I do this, two of the top straps don't reach enough for the velcro to fasten. The 22" frame with large triangle is to blame.

Confirmed the FalconEV triangle bag can happily hold 12 packs of 6s for a total of 1.3Kwh. 100mm wide so it doesn't stretch the stitching, going to use expanding foam to add a little padding around the 100mmx50mm PVC sections to add a bit of shock protection, all the wires point in towards the centre of the bag where there is that space for the harness. The PVC section will be removable so you can take the whole contents out as a single block to charge indoors, saves undoing all that velcro every dam time.

nice, please do post a pic of how you get all 12 of those in the bag, hehe..

[nonlineartom]

The picture is right there on my post.

[neptronix]

I mean closed, fully wired up etc. once you're done.
There is a difference.

The octopus of lipo wiring does require some extra considerations. that's why i only run 8 in mine.

I was able to get 4x10s and 4x4s. There is still space left, but not much. Total is 51.8V18Ah. So about 1KW. If i went with 5AH sticks to begin with, the i would have 51.8V20Ah. All in all, i have 15Ah of usable ah for my 18Ah. I will post picture a bit later. I was surprised that the bag fit on my small frame gt hybrid bike.

^--thanks for the heads up.
Their rectangle bags are interesting, a little spendy in comparison but could work good for some FS bikes.
Hi-power cycles wants $99 for essentially the same thing.

UPDATE: Ahaha!!! look at the location and size of the straps on the hi-power cycles bag versus the revelate. I do believe they ARE the same thing.

BTW, i did order another falconEV bag today after giving up on futzing around with my other bike's battery mounting solution. The price went up by $10 i think.

Still worth it, IMHO.

MSRP for these Mukluk bags is $150.

Ummmm... yeah, we do have it good with the falcon bag, lol

[sflorlando]

Just ordered two of the bags...man the guy that answered the phone was hilarious. Cant wait to get them.

is the falcon EV bag water resistance/proof? I don't want to test mine out with all the battery in it.

Anyone who recently got one. Can you test it before loading it up with battery?

Thanks

I just ordered one bag. I mailed Andy, and within 10 minutes I received a reply. Five minutes later I had transferred the money ($45 for the bag, $13 for shipping to Switzerland), and I will be waiting to see how long USPS wants to keep it....

I plan to have 4x 10S 4.5Ah lipos in there, and if possible 6. Let's see.

[mvly]

I actually have 5 10s4.5ah nanotech and 5 4s4.5ah. Moreover, I tried to fit 6 of each, but 1 4s lipo did not fit.

So I am confident you can get 6 in there.

Yeah, well, I actually want to cover the inside of the bag with some aluminum plates to protect the lipos. Also, I will be fixating the bag permanently to the bike with these alu plates, to prevent rupture of the bands that some have reported here. As long as I can remove the lipo pack from the bag without too much hassle, I am happy.

Ordered me one of these bags today - cant wait to get the weight centered and off my rear wheel.

Also not sure if this is new , but I was able to pay via paypal which made it nice.

[ohzee]

Got my bag today and did a short 5 mile ride. damn the center of gravity this thing provides is amazing.

This is the best 50$ I have spent. All the material is extremely well made. Zippers Velcro outer material.

From what I have seen on ES so far this is the best triangle bag I have seen.

10/10

pics?

btw, its 2012 over here. Happy New Year!!

[ohzee]

Happy New Years. Yea I will get some pics of my bike as well as the bag opened up with my batteries.

Honestly this thing is so good I will probably grab a couple more just to have them on hand.

I plan on doing a ride tomorrow so I will snap those pics.

damn HJNS your fusion is sharp - nice bike.

[hjns]

tnx Ohzee. As this is an ongoing project, my bike is looking different again. I now have almost everything in house to go 2WD. Just waiting for the right moment, and the Falcon bag, of course.

My bag needs to travel from US to CH, which during holidays may take a while. Given the good reviews above, my expectations are quite high...

[sflorlando]

Here is my newest build with the FalconEV bag.

[ohzee]

Damn that looks clean. I just shoved 12 6s 5000mah into mine.

Here is my bike with 12 6s 5000mah lipo's with a slight bit of room at the top.

My bag arrived some time ago, but my triangle is too small. I will have to adjust the bag to fit my 6 pieces of 10S bricks inside the triangle and have the bag cover everything appropriately. This will take time, but I will definitely do it and post some pics. So far, the bag looks fine, sturdy, and of high quality. Happy!

It has 6 Zippy 10S bricks as 20S3P 74V 13.5Ah in it. That gives me a top speed of 58km/h and a range of approximately 45km until LVC (3.6V cell level).
