I have an ibera triangle bag but it's just not big enough. It's great for tools and stuff but not that big battery. I would think it'd be tough to find a bag tough enough to have 22 lbs. hanging from it and stay connected for long. I was also considering a box, maybe some sort of pelican-like...

Hi guys, I was hit a few months ago by an older lady crossing a bike path in a hurry to go shopping. :? Luckily I wasn't that hurt but the bike was totaled. As I work it out with the insurance company (who knows when that will end) I'm thinking I may go ahead and purchase a candidate for my...

Hi guys, I'm sure this has been talked about but my search wasn't yielding what I was after so a link or something would be great if we already have a thread on here. Otherwise I'm looking for a good way to accurately measure the amount of calories I burn to and from work on my e-bike. I have a...

Thanks guys. From the battery the wire is thicker AWG (not sure exactly what size) and short, probably only 3-4 in. and it doesn't seem to be a problem. The wire from the connection to the plug (that the controller plugs into) is thinner and longer, probably a size down AWG from the batt cable...

Great thanks for the info, I'll definitely lose the fuse. The wire harness also has a fuse and it's easier to get to (winds up in the side pocket of my battery bag) so even if I lose this one I'll still have one in addition to the BMS like you said, so I should be covered. I'll let you know how...

Sure I can solder them together. Will that help with my heat issue? When I read what you wrote it made me wonder if I had a bad solder job and that's why it was overheating (in addition to it being over insulated by the foam). If there's any truth to that then it should get a bit better when I...

Hi guys, I have a wire harness that's getting very hot. Today on the ride in to work I smelled something burning and zipped open my battery bag and saw that it had started melting a bit of the foam I keep around the sides. Obviously the harness was getting insulated and trapping the heat so I'm...

I'm sure this has been answered already but was having trouble finding a thread. I'd like to make some sort of rudimentary fuel gauge for my LiFePO4. To start I'd just like to check it when I get to work in the mornings or get home in the evenings and just using a multimeter would be a fine...

Yeah your problem definitely sounds worse than mine, I feel a bit of resistance when I stop and just rotate the wheel, but I don't notice it much riding. I ride on the streets exclusively nowadays and nearly always am going 25+. I purchased mine through mega also. Let us know how your...

The thread you referenced was mine and you indeed captured the noise a lot better than I ever could. It's the same motor and same exact sound, I suspect our issues are probably the same (I have a front hub motor if that's interesting). I also had the same experience, it would begin rubbing 15-20...

The blogger seems like an idiot, I read some of his other posts. Blogs I prefer tell a story or offer information or insight, this guy just likes to bitch and cry. I remember some dude on a bike (he was with a buddy, they are always with a buddy when they're dicks) yelling something but had my...

I have a yescom (or equivalent) front wheel motor 1000W with 48v 20ah battery. I go 12.5 miles @ 25-35 mph give or take to work one way and charge at work and come back home. I had to come back home without charging one day (not fun :roll:) and estimate I got about 6-7 or so miles before the bms...

Yeah, wow. Before I had my extra chargers my one and only charger had a problem and left me pedaling home with 40+ lbs. extra weight. My clothes were drenched in sweat when I got home. I so appreciate that kickass power, especially when it's taken away from me. :cry:

I had very little knowledge when I built my bike and you really don't need much. I have the 48v / 1000W front wheel DD hub yescom kit. I didn't use the rack, grips and the hand brakes from the kit as I had my own alternatives, but everything else from the kit I'm still currently using. I've been...

When I was first shopping for my components I ran some figures in my head on how much range I could squeeze out if I took it easy and went a certain speed during certain conditions. Yeah, that all went out the window when I rode it for the first time. Now the faster the better. I can't lie...
