:bigthumb: so thought I would just update this thread I've been running the shark pack for a while now and I'm super happy with it I have put it through quite a bit of abuse and had it fling off my bike once or twice because I forgot to lock it and it's still working great so I bought another...

the bms does not change settings as far as i can see. but thats ok im pretty happy with the settings. one thing i am liking alot is the downtube mount. it is very low profile.

:bolt: ok i got the shark pack from em3ev in the mail last week. it didnt take long to get here and they were really good about communicating with me and answering any questions above and beyond that I had. the install was really easy and i was able to put my connector on quickly. it was...

In my state of virginia, the ebike limit is 1000 Watts 25 mph. After that than you need a registration and you will be considered a motor vehicle. anything under that you are considered in the same class as a bicycle, power assist bicycle, disability Mobility device. My fastest bike I clocked...

it will definitely make your life a lot easier if you just put your controller inside of a bike bag... all of my bikes have the controller inside of some sort of housing. They don't get super hot if you're running a regular setup without hot rodding it, you will be fine..

i ride my bike as a commuter in the Nova area and I ride in the rain and other weather situations most of my connectors are in my bag with the controller or battery, I've never had a connector shorting issue but one time my thumb throttle did Go full blast it would not stop so I just hit the off...

drilling holes is fine just stay a inch or two away from the welds. the side of the tube is a little more preferable but if you're just using this to ride as a commuter bike then a hole on top or bottom works too as long as your holes arnt too big. just use a little common sense when sizing them...

I read an article about these marines driving their Suburbans with night vision goggles and the Suburban has a infrared light bar on the top of the roof that lights everything up for their infrared goggles it looks super awesome maybe we could put a small infrared light on the front of our bikes.

wow, that looks awesome. i was going to say have you ever tried titanium spokes. Alex rims also makes a triple wall called the Super E. But I totally get where you're coming from The Hub Motors don't lace well with rims because they're so big in diameter that the spokes don't really tension...

So on my ride to lunch today the bike did it again with the relay bypassed so I opened it up and upon further inspection noticed the jumper wire on my 3-speed connector was barely hanging on so tonight I'm going to solder that connection together in high speed and see if it goes away then...

that is a good point. I've read quite a bit about this in one of Nikola Tesla's books he used many ways to disrupt arcing not for my purpose but he also used wind which I'm guessing if I put a small fan and make a hole for air flow I can make air flow between the contacts and I think general...

ok sorry it took so long but i had some time to diagnose the problem tonight and it definitely was the relay I was using because I bypass the relay and the drivability issue disappeared. I was thinking of using three Automotive five pin relays that are 45 amp rated. I use a buck converter to...

I agree with markz. The limiting factor in a kit usually is the controller and battery. some controllers have a 3-speed connector that you attach a switch to which can limit your speed from slow medium and high. i have one thats 1500 watts but in low it tops out at around 15 mph. and the...

well I don't live in the UK and where I'm at in the United States of America there is no watt limit but a federal mile per hour limit anyways a lot of people don't even know what these things are. people ask me all the time is that electric and I look at them like you can't tell. they don't know...

yeah just last week i watched a boat on a trailer push a SUV down a hill with its anti-lock brakes going nuts because the car couldn't take the weight of the trailer and the boat. also there is a term called Wag the Dog when the trailer gets a death wobble and whips the towing vehicle around...
