In late February of this year I took delivery of a BMC V4C kit from Ilia Brouk of [ ebikessf.com ]. The kit is awesome in use at [ 48V and 20A ] but lately a noise has developed. After testing on different platforms the source of said noise is definitely the motor wheel itself. The noise is a...

I have two kits currently. An eZee and a BMC. Both installed on a Giant platform. Seen here... http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-ca/bikes/model/sedona/9786/49386/ My two NCM packs I switch from one bike to the other as needed. Until I buy two more packs which I'll do soon. In use I fully...

I prefer the BMSBattery products. Suit my needs and at a reasonable price. The packs are well-constructed single units complete with advanced BMS. Charger included. The specs overall meeting, again, my needs. As for weight? I tried numerous times to submit a comment but with no success...

I have no personal experience with MAC and thus the reason why no earlier reply. I thought an experienced other/others would reply. Here's where I sourced my BMC... [ http://ebikessf.com/ ] Ilia Brouk being the owner/operator. Very professional. Very helpful. Chat with him via e-mail and...

I have both an eZee and a BMC V4C [ both rear 26" ] and am pleased with both. Both purchased in the last year. The eZee from Grin Cyclery. The BMC from Ilia Brouk [ Ebikes SF ]. Each is operated at 48V20A. The efficiency of each being awesome! Two 48V20Ah [ Li-Ion NiCoMn ] batteries from...

Affirmative. I have two of the 48V20Ah battery packs and two of the Falcon EV bags. The packs do fit with room to spare for wiring and such. I purchased the two packs at different times. Taking delivery of the first pack in November 2011 and the second in January. The first used [ 6665143 ]...

Okay. Finally got things sorted out. The sharp minds here were right once again. CA RShunt value was set originally at 2.31 mOhm. Which, seemingly, is the correct setting for the original Lyen controller which was again problematic in use. The replacement Crystalyte controller, on the other...

I can't speak to a direct comparison between BMC geared motor series but it is worth noting that Ilia's testing involved the V4T and a Lyen controller over strictly uphill terrain. As for the involved bikes? Same platform. Giant Sedona LX [ 2012 ]…...

Yep. The presented numbers are indeed accurate. Both kits coming complete with a Cycle Analyst unit. The ride route I took being one that I ride often. Am totally familiar with. And I was told to expect improved efficiency over the previous BMC geared motor series but while I waited to take...

Took delivery recently of a kit based on the new BMC V4C geared hub motor. A 26" rear wheel build to be run at 48V and 20A. Purchased from Ilia Brouk of [ Ebikes SF ]. Initially, the kit was to make use of a Lyen 12FET sensored controller but as it turned out there were problems. Controller...

Rear and Front available. [ 160mm rotor only ] With some re-wiring necessary for some systems... [ Sensor control designed for Bion-X system ]...

dnmun, Appreciate the input. Though I've read several instances of your diodes perspective during my time here so I'm familiar. And you are right as I, myself, have recently gone the parallel route without diodes. Two BMSBattery 48V20Ah packs. And all has been fine. No theatrics. No drama. No...

With my newest e-bike almost complete I've decided to order a couple of batteries from Li Ping plus some diodes. I intend to go the diodes route in parallel connecting two 48V 20Ah packs. And with this in mind I asked Li Ping about the involved wiring and whether the packs could be charged...

Thanks for the replies. On the subject of parallel connecting two identical 48V20Ah battery packs, for discharge purposes, I contacted Adam at [ http://www.ebikes.ca ]. The battery packs seen here… http://www.bmsbattery.com/48v/249-48v-10ah-lithium-ion-electric-bicycle-battery-pack.html And...

sangesf… You're very welcome. Was the least I could do considering the time and trouble you went to to provide me with a welcome degree of peace of mind. And if yourself and Rassy would be so kind I'd like to ask for your collective insight in the following matter... Soon, I'll have two...
