    Meaning?

    What do you think this means? From description of 96V controller I bought. Sensorless or not? The product according to market demand to do without Hall zero start, brushless dual-mode smart measure battery voltage, motor phase!

    4s lipo pack charged to 17.98V

    I use a 5ah 20C 4s hardcase pack to start my Portable generator. Well, when I lost power during the hail storm here, I cranked it up for power and left the battery connected thinking the 12v regulator wouldn't let it charge the pack over 15V. I usually just disconnect the battery after starting...

    Motor/Controller watt ratings, what they mean.

    Unless otherwise stated, They are the max ratings for continuous 24/7 operation. IOW's a motor/controller rated for 1000W can run forever at 1000W without damage to the motor or controller under normal operational uses. This does not mean that is the maximum power of the motor or controller...

    How to choose a battery pack.

    Motor wattage has absolutely nothing to do with choosing a battery pack. So anytime you see an ad that says good for up xxxxW motor, it's just BS. The only thing that matters is device that connects directly to the battery. For any brushless motor that will be the motor controller. Period. In a...

    Made the 60mph club today

    Granted, it was down a hill, but still made 61.4mph. Was using my new Mobius bike cam to record some of the hills around here, and when I got back I had forgotten to take the lens cap off.

    If your motor doesn't have a disc brake adapter, but does have freewheel threading on both sides like rear yescomusa motors. This should/may work for you. http://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-bike-parts/disk-brake/lbf-001-673.html There's also this kit, which I think is complete, but since...

    building my first e bike

    That's 264wh per battery, so a total of 792wh. Now cut that in half because of sla properties and you'll have ~400 usable wh. Should get close to 20 miles out of it. BTW, your controller will be 30A. So you need a battery that will put out that many amps without damage to it. That pretty much...

    Big dog vs ebike. Dog won.

    Out for one of my daily exercise rides was going down the street about 10mph pedaling along when I see this huge white dog take off in a beeline for me around 50 yards away. Hit the throttle to try to get away. Dog turns right in front of me and I broadside him. Me and bike hit the concrete...

    RC lipo SOC @3.5V

    Been a lot of talk about when a lipo cell is empty lately. The SOC @3.5v is 3-4%. AT 3.6V it's ~7%. These are resting voltages, not under load. All indications are it will be completely drained of any reasonable energy usage at 3.4V. From charts posted all over the place, one can see that the...

    My latest

    Switched from a hardtail with pack in triangle to a FS Mongoose Ledge 2.1. Having almost no triangle space presented a little problem for battery pack placement, but with an old aluminum yard sign, jigsaw, vice, and some double back tape it came out working ok.
