frock YOU ASSHOLE

Why not just go to the airfreetires.com website and just read for yourself instead of posting every page found on the internet from every site that sells an urethane elastomer compound tire. http://www.airfreetires.com/Testimonials/ I love you posting the $25.99 tool first on your list...

Not sure if this thread is for SLA battery packs also. If it is then here is a place I found with good prices. I can't say if the batteries are good though will have to wait until I can afford some to find out. :lol: :lol: :lol...

Yes so as Reid has pointed out using one of Sheldon Brown's pro cyclist rants Do Not Use Airfree Tires * * While riding down steep rocky ravines where the impact as you collide and bounce your way to the bottom of the mountain might cause more impact onto a single area of the tire then the rim...

Lessss, I would not try to get that involved with it. I just don't see the need to go through all that. I do need to correct what I said last night though. I said it backwards because I did not realize at the time that the 48V was the primary source. What will happen is that the 4 batteries...

Sorry Lessss, I am not seeing the single battery in parallel with the 36Volt groups in the drawing above. I see where your saying it in the drawing but not where it is connected in parallel. Does not sound like a good thing to do anyway. But I am brain dead tonight I will look again after some...

hmm, to much math for one day has me given me a brain cloud. :lol: :lol: :lol: Not this thread Lessss but another one. Ok, I think what I was saying is that when you use the 48 volt leg you are draining all four batteries. However when you switch over to just using the 36 volt leg you are...

The EP12 has a 30 minute rate of 6 amps (12ampdraw). So our battery should be a little less then that, certainly no more then that. My guess is the fans drew 6.85 amps in the 57 minutes they ran based on the 7.2a/hr rate. Or pretty close to that anyway. :oops: should have refreshed before I...

Ok, I have re-read and re-read and it appears I was not talking apples and oranges. You had 4 fans that draw 3 amps each at 24V connected to the batteries and timed them to see how long they would last? Was that the test? If so, 12amp draw should have not even lasted close to an hour for the...

I think I should mention that the SLA battery was at a major disadvantage because a 3 amp drain means its rating was more like 9 AH versus the 12 AH of the NIMH. So, hmmm, does that mean since the NIMH was so close in spec to the SLA that maybe its rating is not 12AH currently either? Calling...

Well 1 battery in each pack will not be drained in unison with the others over the course of your ride so they will be unbalanced to some degree. If you were using just one for lets say lights or some small drain then it might not be a big deal but with 3 getting a big drain and 1 each not when...

Lesss, I can't help much with what your working on, but here are a few links that may lead in the right direction. http://www.electricscooterparts.com/sprockets.html http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/sprockets1.html http://www.scooterparts4less.com/all_electric_scooter_parts.htm

You want to be careful though I don't think you are supposed to go below 1.0V per cell with NIMH. I was thinking earlier that its possible the controller is cutting off before your getting to 20V though which is fine and you want that with the SLA cells even though you could go to 1.6V per cell...

Right now I think he is looking at getting a Xebra and souping it up. They are a 3 wheel electric car (loop hole) and as such are considered a motorcycle under most states laws. So they are not restricted to the same speed requirments as the GEM. You are correct about the GEM being a NEV which...

I think your choice of the dual speed hub sounds good. I would suggest calling EVsolutions and see if you can drop by and tryout the kit on one of their bikes. You are lucky you live in the same town as the company since you can do that and not just have to guess you are making the right decision.
