The Andersons on the pigtail connecting the output from my 14S pack (in a backpack) to my BBSHD melted near LVC, resulting in a short. The BMS did its job and cut-off, and the battery takes a charge, but the BMS appears to still be in protect mode. The display will power up initially, but not...

Thanks Speady. Found this listing: http://www.greenbikekit.com/accessories/bafang-8fun-spare-parts/bafang-8fun-mid-crank-motor-clutch-for-replacement.html Looks like they have the part, but they're referring to it as "crank motor kit clutches for replacement." I'm assuming this is the entire...

Does anyone have a resource for a replacement secondary reduction gear for a BBS02? I recently damaged my pinion and gear. The pinion seems fairly easy to come by, but the only place I've been able to find gear for sale (Luna) is backordered. thanks for your help!

I have a BBS02 purchased around 2.5 years ago from EM3EV. The secondary reduction had been making a racket for some time and I finally wrecked the pinion, trashing the secondary drive gear at the same time. Luna sells both parts, but the larger drive gear has been out of stock for ages. First...

Finally got around to re-greasing my BBS02. As noted by others, there wasn't a lot of grease in there. I purchased some SuperLube off of Amazon to give it a try. Packed it full, gave it a few rotations to let the gears move it around the case and re-packed them again. Re-assembled and all is...

Thanks all. I'll look into both issues. Has Mobil 28 been determined the grease of choice for these?

Hello, My BBS02 (purchased 18 months ago from EM3EV, only around 700 miles on the odometer, S/N 1408237823) has recently began feeling/sounding rough when accelerating forward, either under human or motor power. It initially seemed most pronounced when in lower gears (likely due to the higher...

Nice build. I also like carrying the battery's weight on my person rather than on the bike, though I'm also struggling to find a robust (and retractable?) battery tether between the bike and backpack. If if you (or others) come up with an elegant solution, please report. thanks.

I just fired-up the UM70/EMAD with 12S and it's fun, though it's pretty squirrely at speed. I've tightened-up the trucks a bit and have the tires at around 25 psi. Any other setup recommendations to make this thing feel a bit more stable at speed? It seems like its only a matter of when, not...

Thanks LEVer. Didn't realize these were sold under different names. After a little reading, I'm going to run 12S and cross my fingers!

Greetings, First time posting in the E-Skateboard section. I just picked up a 6-7 year old Urban Mover UM70SX with old SLAs. 36V system 800W max supposedly. http://urbanmover.com/products/powerBoards/UM70SX.php I have a couple of 6S 10Ah multirotar packs that I was going to series together...

I'm extremely happy with my 2006 Cannondale Prophet. 68mm bottom bracket, elevated chainstays so no chainring interference. Slack geometry for stable riding at speed. Relatively lightweight. 5.5" travel. Fairly inexpensive. Unfortunately no good spots for a battery, but that's the case with...

Thanks guys. I may give the KMC or Wipperman a try, though they're very hard to find in the States.

I just replaced my 9 speed drivetrain with Shimano Zee (shadow+) derailleur, shifter, SLX 10 sp cassette and KMC X10.93 chain. The whole setup rides and shifts like a dream (Shadow+ is the real deal), though after only about 40 miles I broke my first chain (300+ miles on Sram 9 speed chain with...

So as it happens the 40V Kobalt actually uses a 24V motor. The little black box must serve as a step-down transformer I suppose? For kicks I hooked-up the 48V ping directly to the 24V motor and it was apparent that it wouldn't last at this voltage. Sparks were flying from the motor, and there...
