This will only work if there isn't a derailleur on the back. Don't forget that the part of the chain that does the driving has to be the lower part for regen as opposed to the upper chain for normal driving.

Well I had a pretty horrible experience with the company, so I wouldn't be buying anything in a hurry from them.

A switch in the initial twist region to switch off the stupid Bafang PAS. For those who don't know, the new Bafang mid drives get confused if you pedal with PAS and use the throttle at the same time. A simple normally closed switch could be set up to disable the PAS as soon as a git of...

A build like this is definitely in my future! Kepler, I know that you said earlier that you didn't like the idea of a drive off the sidewalls of the tyre, but what you have made is basically a flat belt drive. In industrial applications, V pulleys and belts are dominant. I would suggest that a...

I can agree about this vendor. My controller on a BBSHD lasted a month, then just stopped working. I contacted Eunorau who agreed to send me a new controller if I returned the broken one AT MY EXPENSE! OK bad enough but at least a replacement. However, when I took off the controller, I noticed...

I have always found their support incredible. Must be a New Year issue.

If you have a bit of feel for your drive system, a gear sensor is unnecessary. Just back off on the throttle, change gear and then throttle on. If using the PAS, just stop pedaling for a second, change gear and then slowly re-start pedaling.

I see that the Domino throttle has a micro switch built in. Couldn't this be used to switch off the PAS as soon as the throttle is activated?

Could you post a picture of the bike without the cover on? I want to modify this exact same bike!

Fantastic looking battery housing! Did you make a mould?

I don't understand your question? Whatever I do, I will use 3 parallel strings, so 14S 3P at 4.05 V per cell or 15S 3P at 4.0 V per cell Which will hold more energy? I may actually have to hold the 15S at 3.95V to ensure that I am below the magic 60V to not damage my BBSHD controller. So...

Well the question still remains... Will 14S charged at 4.05V per cell hold or or less power than 15S charged at 4V per cell ?

I am planning to build the pack myself, so I can build whatever I want. Your comment in italics above is incorrect. You obviously meant to say 14S at 4.2 = 58.8V but I get your meaning. I was just wondering if I had to charge to 3.92V @15S (still sticking to 58.8V), whether I could get a...

I can only charge to 4.0 V if I want to stick to the standard Bafang controller. 60 Volts max. I don't understand what you mean by "The balancing shunts" ? Are there settings on the BMS for these? I only see that one can set the Overcharge Protection - 4.2V~4.35V(Adjustable), Over discharge...

I can't find this? One of the Best tech that find is: http://bestechpower.com/555v15spcmbmspcbforli-ionli-polymerbatterypack/PCB-D167.html This has a Over charge detection voltage of between 4.2V~4.35V(Adjustable) and Over charge release voltage of between 4.0 - 4.2 (Adjustable). Wouldn't...
