Just got it together and after playing with the wire combinations, I've got it up and running. Whats strange is the wire doesn't come through the threaded section of the axle but on the flat side. I have it exiting out the back with a drip loop coming back forward and I just zip tied it real...

I just bought a second motor and the wires aren't coming through the end of the axle, but through the side of the axle, just in front of the brake disc mount. I've never seen that before and while it's cool not to have to worry about banging up the wires out the end, I'm not sure how to mount...

Thats a lot of miles! For the headlight, I'm using a cheap $20 or so led flashlight that claims 900 lumens. I use a velcro strap to attach it to the frame and adjust it to point how far ahead I want it. I have two and one has been run over by a semi, a cop car, tumbled down the road a few times...

I'm looking for some help with a motor that I can't get going and some troubleshooting but first some info... 9c motor that had the wires coming through the axle banged up bad enough they had to be replaced. Sighed, frowned then replaced phase and hall wires and got everything back together...

Thanks for the verification. It very well may have been covered, and I read through a few threads about these chargers but I may have missed it. As I expected, the charger isn't putting out the 82v I had specified when ordering since it's marked 72v/10A and I see 75.4v, and I can look through...

Hi, I just got my EMC 1000 charger and I'm not sure of the polarity of the leads. First, they didn't send it with the 5.5mm bullets I requested, and I can fix that quick and easy. The problem is there is a blue wire and a brown. I plugged the charger in and put my meter on it and see about 5v...

Good tip. Anything that helps idiot proof things is a good thing. The bulk charger should be here soon so I won't have to break the pack down, just plug in the battery medics, but even then that will help when it's time to balance the 10s2p module subpacks.

My other 4 batteries showed, and all cells were within .03v so I gave them a balance charge and hooked up the full 20s2p 16Ah pack. Attached is a picture of it in the bag, and I'm going to raise the seat up over the bag so I'm not putting weight back on in. Instead of my janky solder job I...

I had looked at Methods battery setup and that does look real cool. I just can't afford it right now, and it'd take some planning to get it all stuffed into the bike if I could. I guess I was just second guessing myself and the plug arrangement was straight forward for the 10s charging...

Thanks for the replies, that diagram helps me understand how to set it up and it makes sense now. The balance plugs don't need to be messed with, except when charged, then they're paralleled if I understand correctly. I do have a balance charger that can do up to 10s and I balance charge once...

3 posts lost, won't lose a 4th... Adding another 20s for 20s2p. Can I run two 20s strings and then parallel them? I saw some mention of another way, but don't know the benefit of what seemed more complicated. I have a 900W BMSBattery charger coming, will it see it as a 20s 16Ah battery? Can I...

Haha! I don't want to hurt anything and buy replacement parts that I can avoid, hence me asking. The problem is, and this might be a given, but when viewing the board "right side up" where you can read the screening identifying the sockets on the board, is the left the first connector and the...

Ok, so does it not matter which balance plug goes into which port on the balance board? I could have swore it was important, but maybe I'm thinking of charging in parallel. As far as making sure the polarity is correct on the plugs, the sockets on the board will only allow the plug to go in...

Hi, I'm pretty sure I have this right, but I wanted to double check just to be sure. I have a icharger 1010b+ that is capable of charging 10s lipo and I run 20s on my bike. I've been breaking everything down and charging each of the four 5s packs individually, but It'd be nice to do two 10s...

The controller is the 12 x 4110 extreme modder that I've seen a lot of people mention, and if I recall, he mentioned anything over 50A could lead to problems with the phase wires. I don't want to melt the phase wires but I'm ready to upgrade them to 10 or 12ga if it happens, or next Winter. I...
