    Cycle Analyst - something missing?

    I've been commuting on my e-bike and loving it. I'm also very pleased with my Cycle Analyst... BUT... The one thing I expected from the Cycle Analyst appears to be the one thing it DOESN'T do, unless I'm missing something. I thought it would display a battery charge meter that I could use...

    Woohoo! First commute

    I finally got all my ducks in a row and made my first e-commute today. What an awesome magic carpet ride! I'm using a conversion kit from E-BikeKit.com on a hard-tail Trek mountain bike, with a Ping 48V 15Ah battery. Just to see what it can do, I pedaled very little and ran at full throttle...

    What's this plug?

    My Ping battery arrived last night. Here's a picture of the connector. http://picasaweb.google.com/100085060200132421774/Ebike#5452965520323360466 Can someone tell me what this style of connector is called, so I can find a male counterpart? It reminds me of a microphone plug. Also, any...

    Weird package from outer space - or battery

    My Ping battery arrived today. I opened the box and found this: http://picasaweb.google.com/100085060200132421774/Ebike#5452965296070682834 I assume the foil-over-styrofoam wrapping is packing material, but it looks so NASA that I was hesitant to slice into it. I should remove it to reveal...

    Switching the brake cables

    I have most of my parts and about to start my bike conversion. It makes sense to me to switch my brake cables, so my bike will drive like a motorcycle: throttle (split twist) on the right and rear brake on the left. I've been commuting on a gas scooter for a couple of years and I'm used to...

    Solar Electric

    I ran across this today: http://gizmodo.com/171873/e+v-sunny-bicycle-powered-by-the-sun Those wheel covers, although pretty cool, don't look like solar panels to me. Is this for real? Kellan

    Ping BMS Placement

    I have ordered my Ping 48V 15ah battery and am designing a box for mounting it on my bike. In the photo on Ping's site, the BMS appears to be taped onto the top surface of the battery. I would like to move it to the front, to make a slimmer package. I'm assuming it can be moved, but I thought...

    Help with battery choice?

    My conversion kit from E-BikeKits has been shipped and will arrive any minute now. Problem is, I still haven't ordered my battery from Ping. I was planning to order a 48V 20 ah battery. Now I'm having second thoughts - wondering if it's overkill. I'd like to get the weight and size down a...

    Is this a good kit for me?

    OK, I'm not an engineer and I'm pretty much overwhelmed by the apparent variety of bikes/kits/parts and prices. I'm getting close to buying this kit and I would really appreciate some general feedback: http://www.e-bikekit.com/shop/index.php?p=product&id=1&parent=0 My situation: -I commute...
