Sorry to hear about your leg. You have had to deal with a bunch of issues and many people would have walked away from this project. Since everything takes so long to be delivered, I would order both new controller and motor and whatever else could possibly be wrong with the bike. You tried...

MX riders use the rear wheel as a gyroscope to either lift or drop the front end while airborne. I have read about this exact problem with the ASI BAC controllers, it is a known issue. I'm not sure if anyone figured out how to get around it.

Good job on finishing. Do you keep track of time distance, and battery consumption? Would be interesting to see that stuff, too.

Early bikes had domino with an inline digitizer. Later ones had the digitization done in the inverter. digital is CAN messages...

how about schrader valves at the lowest drain point and one on top. Then you can drain the case and purge the case with nitrogen, argon or helium after any wet riding :thumb:

My point was not to brag or suggest this as the best setup. The power source is one I had on hand to run another device and it happened to work ok the 20s surron. The parameters I set were ok for me as I thought they didn't push the power source to the max and 4 hours to charge was gentle on...

https://www.rlpower.net/products/85-amp-power-supply I've been using this for about 6 months and it has worked great. The only reason I was fiddling with the converter parameters is that I updated the firmware and the parameters in my saved configs wouldn't come across

I was in converter mode with a 12v power supply. I wanted to change the amperage setting so I toggled the enable parameter to "off" while the power supply was operating. I hear an immediate pop, smell of burnt electronics and the green LED on the power supply turns yellow. It now only puts...

Yes the FAT32 card worked, thanks!

I'm trying to update my firmware but cannot get the display to update. I keep getting stranded at the logo screen after i hit the green button when the display prompts me to "update?" upon getting stranded, i have to unplug the battery and when i check the version of display FW i see its still...

The power wires exit the top of the case. Purportedly through "new waterproof" gland nuts. Maybe packaging space under the surr ron battery cover forced the designer to modify these nuts. The nut bodies are whittled down and attached to the top cover using the gland nut. This is instead of...

I see a couple of issues. 1. The innards are not designed to survive any water infiltration. The bottom enclosure is water tight. The cells are wrapped in paper. Once wet, the contents have no chance of drying out. 2. The enclosure isn't waterproof. It's assembled with butt joints and...

20 cells or the 2 p group of cells located at the bottom of the battery sit at zero volts. The battery was wet enough to allow discharge of the cells at the bottom. Sort of a gentle short circuit, yikes!
