Buying a Tesla out of warranty isn't to be recommended, there are so many faults with the early cars and unless you really know what you are doing working on these cars is a pain because Tesla arent keen selling parts to the public although they do it now, see Richrebuilds videos on youtube if...

No Shame, I have done this before as well, just dumped the lipos and bought a new set, as others have said a BMS or battery murdering system as I normally refer to them is not required, back in the early days of lipo testing 12 years or so ago all of the problems came from BMS failure, ive been...

That looks better than Lunas effort! (which to be fair was likely a prototype) nice work.

Sorry and you are? Who are you to sternly warn anyone? :lol: crikey a bike like this which has build quality and construction thats as good as anything ive ever seen built and you think trading standards would have a field day with it? trading standards are better spending their time and...

Yes cant be sure if Luna will offer the same terms so its worth checking before you part with your money, its a super exciting bike thats for sure, early adopters like Hyena and his mates will give this thing a good test and there are a few moto crossers who have got their hands on them too so...

Hmm there maybe a reason Luna isnt posting warranty details yet because if you buy the bike from Luna isnt the warranty going to be dealt with by them? do they have to offer the same warranty that the factory do? and if you buy the bike from Luna the factory wont likely deal with the end user...

why do the peddles need to actually do anything? ive been riding ebikes on the road for 20 years, in all that time I have been stopped by the police once (and I ride my bike every day to work) in most of that time my bike has been going so fast that the peddles make no difference I simply move...

How longs a piece of string? from what I have seen the chain is well capable, belts are a weak point esp when being used off road, I expect this to be a weak point in the transmission over time, esp when being hammered off road, its not a deal breaker for me though.

Great input from jay as usual, Bike from what I can see looks like it has an amazing price/performance vector not to mention it looks very well built and super stylish and modern looking too, it also doesnt have the bulk of the stealth bomber box frame type bikes either, so I wonder if anyone in...

Hi Folks Not been around for a long time but still have all my bikes and use them all the time, I have a total of 4 bikes, the original KMX I raced around in the snow all those years ago 2006? is still working using a Currie USPD hollowed out to 48V, I have an X5304 running at 72V 40A in my red...

Your new to this arent you? Greg is a very skilled and aware rider, if you had been on this forum long enough you would know this as he has been posting videos for at least 5 years, he rides how he likes its his life its up to him, they already legislate against ebikes? I think we should...

Long time no post Spotted this, seems like a very good price for a Brammo Enertia, has a working pack but with issues, read the details. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brammo-Enertia-Electric-motorbike-motorcycle-similar-to-Zero-Vectrix-scooter-/322152700409?hash=item4b01cc19f9:g:Z5IAAOSwM4xXbVIo...

Hi Kev halving the voltage will double the ah rating at 24V but you will still have the same watt hour rating and effective capacity, it will also have the effect of increasing the current through the cables hence the warming of the cables that you found, doubling up the batteries though will...

I just saw this on Ebay, claims to be 48V 10AH 350A with a battery management system and a years warranty, its a little pricey maybe but it does have a BMS, they are used for those Osset electric trials bikes...

Its really very nice indeed, the SLA batteries will sag like an old tit and will get worse quickly I know this from experience. There are loads of threads on here about building packs, at 15KW you are going to need a pretty decent pack to feed this, you could do it with model Lipo in parallel...
