I have 4- 6s packs that I left hooked up in series to a lyen controller on my back-up bike for several weeks after a ride. They got down to less than 1v per cell. I had to bulk charge them above 2.5v at first because the HK eco 6 showed a low voltage error and wouldn't charge them. I have at...

Best answer: YES Best reason: It's customizable multi-functionality Best alternative: Haven't found one yet

Not yet, in over 10,000 miles of high speed urban commuting. They see me and leave me be :D However, that will change as e-biking becomes more common around here. All good things eventually come to an end...

Excellent job on your 2nd build, a nice creative battery solution and I know it rides smooth too. It's good to have another high speed e-bike here in KC. - see ya soon...

I checked with a meter and there are no shorts between phases. However, when green phase wire is disconnected the wheel spins normally.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the wheel has a notched feel when turning, but only when connected to the controller. It turns normally when disconnected. I disconnected the regen loop and it makes no difference, it still 'notches' when phase wires are connected to the controller whether the power...

Here's the story - Was not able to program the regen on Lyen 18fet HV controller, it was set to engage whenever throttle was released. So, I disconnected the regen jumper and it worked fine - except no regen. Then I thought of running the regen jumper through one of my e-brake levers, it worked...

Looks good Ratking, weighs about the same as my green bike loaded w/ 24s 10ah lipo 86lbs. What's the wheelbase & rake angle?

I just did a conversion for a friend a few weeks ago. I showed her what was available in factory-built bikes online and she decided to let me do a conversion on hers for less money. So far it is working great, but if it breaks, I am sure I'll be the 1st to know. - Mark

Thanks XLR8, There is no noticable flex, if I could get 3/32" I would try it. 1/16" would probably be too weak, because this is mild steel. The hardest thing is modifying a swing arm, I can't seem to be able to source suitable pivot hardware. So you need a donor swing arm. I'll post more pics...

Awesome job Ratking, I like the way you integrated the suspension. That bike should handle like a dream, all the weight is is in the right place. excellent!

It's hard to improve on the beauty & style of the stealth IMO, which is what I'm basing my builds on , except to make it thinner with a slightly smaller triangle(sacrificing capacity). I always ride on the streets and this latest build is turning lots of heads - I'm sure the cops are noticing...

John, is that a 2 positon switch that stays on when turned? where did you get it? I just got one that is spring-loaded like a car ignition switch, only paid $ 6.00 on ebay but it's worthless to me. Thanks

The hardest thing for me was just - 'getting started'

The rake angle was too slack and the frame shape too awkward and long. Also wanted to integrate easier access to batteries.
