The last bike I completed myself was over a decade ago, a 2005 Giant Rincon. It had a blowout $250 EBikeKit.com 9 Continents hub motor kit from a dealer that was going out of business and a battery that comprised of six 7Ah lead acid batteries wired up for 36 volts at 14 Ah. I couldn't keep a...

This fellow has not replied, so I guess we are SOL.

I am interested in buying a pack if still available. Thanks!

This guy felt the need to (try) and scope out my Facebook profile, insult me, and insult my mother...right before blocking me, because of the comments I made on the Sondors page. Theodore, not sure who you really are, but can you tell us in all seriousness if anything I said to anyone on the...

That's where you are wrong...how did you know that I wasn't a funder? Would you have known at all if I hadn't posted here? I can already tell you that the answer is no, because I purposely made sure that all my posts in the group were ambiguous as to whether I was a funding party or not. I'm...

A suspension seat would be really nice. I have a brooks seat on a foot-powered Raleigh Twenty, and boy is it nice. The noseless seat is a standard item in the bike section of Wal Mart for $20. For larger people like me, it makes all the difference in the world. I think most bike seats are made...

Wanted to get back into the game on the cheap, to help me get back in shape. Looking around, technology has made big leaps since 2009, but there aren't any more $250 shipped 9C kits kicking around. I scoured eBay until I came across this bike, a Schwinn Transit Electric 700C. Has a 24 volt...

The black/green/red wires on the three pin connector is for your throttle, that is standard wire coloring for an ebike throttle. The other two wires on the smaller connector, the red and black, are probably just a feed directly from the battery to the throttle. The circuitry to display the...

I have inquired to multiple places about these batteries. Bienno Power, Stark Power, Powerizer, Clean Energy. All of them are, from what i have read into and called and asked about, imported from Asia and rebranded. There are many of them on AliBaba for sale; mostly from what I read people doing...

The controller probably has a preset amp limit, from the looks of it mine will definitely do more than the 500 watts it is marked, but if it's programmed to do 500 watts, that's what it will do, or at least that's what I am under the impression of. Get a Lyen controller if you want a good...

Going by that figure and the fact that it has twelve FETs, how much current would you estimate it could safely handle continuously? Surely more than 15 amps?

Here are pictures of it, for those who are interested. 12 FET controller, caps were 63V. FETs marked as STI 80NF70. Many wires removed, including some unused, three throttle inputs (?), output voltage indicator, extra brake cut that was on the throttle. Last picture is of my own doing, I pinned...

I am tired of messing with these cells. Must have a damn ghost inside them. Every single cell reads good and charged to 2+ Ah. I have already dumped a month into these and will spend no more time with them. Anyone who wants them can have them for the cost of shipping. PM Me.

I have spent all night working on this piece of shit battery, and after getting it done, it reads 4 volts at the outermost two points, where it should read 40V. On the next two innermost points (8s) I get 24V, like it is only 6S! Measured at any 9S, I get 32V, like an 8S pack.. There are no dead...

I have attached a picture of what I use in case you wanted to try something else. A "MetroPCS" standalone cell phone battery charger I purchased from eBay for a whopping $3.50 shipped. I took it apart and ran clipleads out of the original contact holes to charge any battery with tabs. The...
