    Looking for info on Bafang hub motor

    I guess I was trying too hard to find the exact model number.... So, I bought this as a electric fat bike wheel set, all new, with tires etc. I really didn’t want to do a fat bike conversion but with a wheelset for $50 I have to try it. If I’m reading that spec in your link correctly this is...

    Sorry Russell, didn't catch this (rough night at work) Yes I meant mAh. I didn't pedal much at all during the 5 mile ride, I did have some elevation changes that slowed me a bit but not enough to pedal hard. Also, I have no idea if the speeds I am giving are correct. The display has the common...

    1000 per pack, so 3000 total. I am getting the info from my charger, I charge to 4.15 per cell when it reaches the cutoff it displayed 1000ma put in. I need to get a watt meter or a CA, I stopped several times to check the cells to make sure I didn't pull the voltage too low on the batteries. I...

    Went for a 5 mile ride today to see what my LIPO's can provide.. Average speed was 23mph with several 33mph blasts, man this thing is fun! Anyway, I am running 3 4s 5000Ma Turnigy packs in series for 12s and put 1000Ma back in each one. Not sure if that is good fuel mileage or not but I,m happy...

    Well, I ordered it last Tuesday and it showed up last Friday, as luck would have it I had to work 12 hours on Saturday so I had to wait to install it on Sunday.. This may be a cheap kit but man does it work great, having a blast with it!

    Thanks fo the help guys. I have waffled over what to get far too long! I pulled the trigger on the 48v 1000w Yescom kit, why you say? Because I prefer to learn shit the hard way... I know it's an inferior product compared to what I was looking at but, it is cheap, it is my first kit, and will...

    Motomech I have a couple of 6s chargers but would like to get one to do more cells The steepest hill would be about 4 or 5% grade for 1000 feet from a dead stop at the bottom of it. The only reason I would like to use US vendor is mostly because of shipping issues and cost. From what I see you...

    So I was looking real hard at the Mini Outrider because of it weight and size and the fact that our normal ride is pretty flat, but I know if I do this conversion we will want to take other routes which have several hills to climb. When I first started research on this forum I had decided on...

    Grin - Outrider mini front hub quick review

    Thanks guys I was going to go 12s turnigy because I have some on hand for r/c use. This is my first go at an ebike. I am actually building this for my wife which weighs considerably less than I do but I would like to be able to use it as well. I need to find the manual for the cycle analyst to...

    Grin - Outrider mini front hub quick review

    Great review! I am looking really hard at this exact kit for a Townie 7D. Do you think it would be a good choice with my body weight being 210lbs? Also, do you know the dimensions of the C3615 controller? I'm thinking about going with the 20 amp controller if they are the same physical size. Thanks
