    throttle connector + cruise don't match

    I bought the kit from "EM3ev" but I don't want to use the right-hand throttle and cruise button combo unit he sent me with a big white connector. Can I just hard wire my throttle leads? But where the heck do the other two wires go, labeled "ground" and "cruise signal" .

    is cruise control worth hooking up?

    I have one of Pauls Mac motor kits and it has CC wires and a switch to shut it down if I want to. Have any of you tried it, then never used it? Or the other way around, and use it all the time. What's the proper procedure?

    I have three, 30volt lipo packs in parallel, and three, 22 volt lipo packs in parallel, wired together in series to make 52 volts, nominal. All packs are 5.8 AHr's from Hobby King. Will they drain equally? My thinking was to use my exsisting 48 volt bulk charger and controler. However i do...

    how can I stop telephone solicitation

    Seems as though it's the same companies phoning me over and over again. This happens twice a week, and often the same people. What's even more disturbing is the ligit companies like "the boys & girls club" asking for used clothing. They almost phone monthly, how much clothing do they think i...

    Infineon controler cannot handle 60 volts, is there a fix

    I bought 60 volt lipo's but found out my Infineon controler can't handle it. I still use my older set of PSI batteries that are 48 volts, but was wondering if i can knock down the 60 volt lipo pack. Or set my Cycle analyst to a lower amp setting. I also have an older controler rated 48v from a...

    Why is my hub motor skipping lightly when accelerating

    Ever since i changed the front tire on my bike, the motor has been pulsating on acceleration? Sort of like missing a beat, perhaps a hall sensor signal not getting a good connection. Works wonderfull otherwise, if kept under 700watts. And when the motor skips a beat it's only here and there...

    How do we properly measure AH for LIFEPO4

    I've had the same LIFEPO4 battery now for over a month, ride 30 KMs per day average, but never reach the 12 AH rating according to my CA meter. It's plenty of range and rarely reach the end, unless i try. I realize there are many variables, except one BIG ONE, and that is the BMS cut-out. Is...

    Aluminum windings for hub motors

    I understand wraping aluminum wire around a core would be difficult. But i know it can be done because we had such motors on our CNC grinders. The motors were about one horsepower (AC) but they were constantly start/stop operation and the motor hub was super light so it can spin-up fast. I...

    Where to mount camera on bike

    The best video i get is when the camera is mounted on my body (holding it) to cushion the bumps, but never found a way to safely mount it, and where. I've seen some mount it on the helmet, this seems like a good spot but might move around too much perhaps. How about the upper chest area, but...
