Hi Audisport09, Well after 3 years of sitting (both self & bike!), I charged up the A2B Li-Po packs today and found that they had 'stored' flawlessly and have remained stable & balanced cell-wise. :) Attaching a quick screenshot from the 'ChargeMaster' software that came with the charger. I...

Yes, the A2B Excel was labelled/sold as an 'Electric Scooter' and appears to have been fitted with an 800W version of the UltraMotor. I guess the controller was in the frame:

Really beautiful work here.. thank you for sharing! :) ~ Maybe two securing bolts through the torque arm/plate? ;) :bigthumb:

Yes, although you will get a slightly higher rear ride-height with the 150mm unit, you should also be able to adjust it's air pressures to best suit your setup/body weight etc. Sure, who knows whether A2B custom made their seals, or used an available 'off the shelf' unit. I guess you could get...

You mean rear, presumably? I got one of these (125mm, I think) to replace that horrid standard A2B sprung unit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/KS-A5-bicycle-soft-rear-shock-absorber-device-mtb-bike-rear-suspension-shock-New/283533376695?hash=item4203e7fcb7:g:tKcAAOSwPdhdGbBk But will probably...

Cool.. sounds like you're getting it all under control now anyhow! - If I recall correctly, I also took the opportunity to thoroughly clean/flush out the tubes etc & replace a couple of rubber O-rings for good measure, before adding fresh lube prior to final reassembly. Enjoy your new...

I think this is the very reason 'fechter' describes: 'quality time with my bench grinder thinning out the (socket) wall enough to fit into the recess on the top of the fork'? I also made this mod by first grinding down the wall thickness of/around the metal socket head and it then fitted/worked...

That little Korean spot welder is super cute! But I have also soldered these batteries with no apparent ill-effect. I think the (obvious) trick is to allow only a minimum amount of heat to conduct into the cell, in order to prevent/minimise any damage etc. Thus (contact) 'time' is of the...

~~~ Glad to hear that you successfully found replacement Battery & Charger! :) Do you mean that you would like to test/restore life to the original (A) 'Battery' - or instead to the individual 'cells' of that battery? - It would likely only take one or two apparently 'dead' cells cause the BMS...

:) OK! ~ So a small red notice attached: "In case of Fire - please kick the shit out of this box until it completely parts company with the bike and/or is extinguished!" ;)

Sounds good Audisport09! Tough & non-conductive. I take it you have since given up on the option of refitting batts to the front fame tube - and don't mind losing the 'step-thru' format? Possibly too large for a home 3D-printing setup, but might be worth talking to an automotive plastic welder...

If your battery pack really is new and has also never been used, then the chances are that it has never been charged either? - Just a thought, but perhaps, providing there are no completely 'dead' cells, it may first be worth trying to coax some volts back into those cells before...

That sounds about right to me for a used & standard rear pack.. but mine was 'dead on arrival', so I never got a chance to experience/test it before rebuilding. (Lots of info elswhere here tho. ;) Some people have fitted a larger crank-chainwheel too, thereby raising the gearing to the point...

No worries 'robbiesd'. Jump on eBay.. or even visit your local bike shop? Personally, I am still using one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kind-Shock-Kindshock-KS-A5-RR1-Dual-Air-Rear-Shock-150x30mm/263401048971?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 But have found...

Congratulations first of all! Sounds as if you now have yourself an excellent basis for some suitable tweaking & 'personalisation' to your own setup preferences anyway! :) Presumably you still have the standard rear 'shock absorber' fitted? Though in fact, in my opinion, it is more of a (too...
