    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    thank you. That was very helpful. I will have to talk to someone about this because this seems a little beyond my level of comfort. I don't want to F*** it up on my first try. Thanks again

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro, please excuse my ignorance. "Jumpers" - being cables linked from the groups of 5 to the battery control unit? Are these cables plug and play or also must be welded? Why do you think it is a complete workaround? I simply cannot cannot convert to lithium with my limited experience, and I...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro - I'm having some issues with my E+. 1) My charger is taking multiple cycles to recharge the E+ front hub. 2) Occasionally, I will have a full battery collapse from 1-2 bars left to a blinking 0 bar. Otherwise, range and speed is still good, but I suspect I have dead cells in the front...

    Miro! Fantastic setup. Congrats. Really impressive. Now if only you could develop a simple workaround one step solution for E+ users. Im sure it would sell like hotcakes! If only I had that skill for such a project!

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    BVH: From E+ directly, they said that there were a "number" - unspecified - of cases where the battery malfunctioned. I believe the fire case was the only one -- but someone else writing about the E+ has said that it happened to them as well. i think its the kind of thing where you may not...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Can I use this pack ? http://www.a123systems.com/prismatic-cell-amp20.htm I just meant lithium -- isnt that what you are using? I had no specific to which battery -- i am just trying to figure out what I would need ot buy to make all of this happen.

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Ok so basically a pack like this would do the trick: http://whiteproducts.com/sealed480.shtml The crimp tool -- do you mean the one they sell for $30 -- approx - I think thats reasonable. So - is there a build process involved with the battery as well or does it come ready to plug into the...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Ok so one, I've been looking online. Does anyone have a specific name for the kind of Delphi connectors E+ uses? These should be available somewhere -- So then build a battery, wire the battery wires into the Delphi battery and cross your fingers? I just somehow am having trouble believing it...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Mr. Davies -- did you make this battery yourself or did you buy it? Did you get the Delphi connectors in order to mount it? (I am behind all the technical talk with Voltages etc -- still trying ot learn) -- but I am trying to figure out just how hard /easy all of this is to do if I get an aux...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro if I lived closer I would gladly volunteer my bike for your experiment! I see why you would only want an aux battery -- it would def. let you ride super light and fast! Probably one of the fastest production ebikes out there with just a LIPO and the 1000W engine. (Outside of the crazy 10K...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    I believe it is a shut-down timer -- just as when I leave my bike on the street just standing there. I have not yet timed it but it seems right around the 10 minute mark that the computer shuts itself down. I am guessing that without the NIMH it must just think it is idle like you siad. ebikes...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro - it was my understanding that with the original E+ Aux battery packs you could ride on that pack alone without the NIMH front hub-- am I wrong? If that was the case then there should be a solution to avoiding the front hub all together no?

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro - yes that he does. It is unfortunate that all the prices have doubled :( Miro -- go back to the TF forum and look at Bill Von's work. He has also added an aux LIPO battery to an E+--- but he does use both together with the front hub. I just checked myself.. Is your front hub done with ...

    E+ powered by A123 20 Ah pack UPDATE

    Miro -- that is some great work. It gives the rest of the E+ owners hope that our bikes wont slowly die with the NiMh front hub. I'm glad your getting some support from Rick! Keep up the great work -- if you come up with a feasible solution, you should start selling the "NEW and IMPROVED" E+...

    Prodeco Phantom X first 40 miles

    That sounds about right -- it is 500W right?? I set my E+ 7502.0 on power 4(from 9) tonight - that limits the wattage to about 550-700 (which is right about what the prodeco is probably getting) -- and i hit 24mph with little to no wind so that sounds about right. I can usually get right about...

    Prodeco Phantom X first 40 miles

    Hi Miro -- considering both my Prodeco bikes are 200-250W and my E+ is 1000, it's not quite as comparable -- firstly, with the throttle itself, the Prodeco is not just on/off, and provides control on how much power you really want to give -- but 250W is not a lot of power so I often end up using...

    Big moose - i was responding to a question asked here -- i provided my honest response -- and MAgneto decided that he was unhappy with it -- so he said some things, i said some things, and here we are...onto the phantom. but nice attempt at making me look like Dr. EVIL :)

    Prodeco Phantom X first 40 miles

    Ok Im pretty annoyed because I just spent an hour typing up the response, only to have the window close and lose everything.. Im too annoyed to reptype everything. Let me summarize. First, you can find it hard to believe or not, but I own an E+ and (two) ProDeco's (1 functioning) so guests can...

    Prodeco Phantom X first 40 miles

    We should probably open up a "My Prodeco Phantom X just stopped running" column too --- I'm just going to go out on a limb and say these bikes will not last. Disclaimer: Owned and sold two prodeco bikes (both stopped running), have not owned the Phantom X. Don't hate. just an opinion.

    RIP E+/EMS?

    I have an M-750x2.0 E+ bike and its built more solid than my Acura. I can't say enough about this company, and my neihgbor ended up buying an E+ bike just over 2 months ago after riding mine. Its hard to put the blame on any one thing, but we all know the difficulties that small businesses face...

    E+ bicycle hand-made in USA UPDATE

    Miro - on your e-plus, do you ever feel like the ride begins to power down at times -- i mean like after you've been riding for 30-35 minutes and battery is about 50% or so drained, do you feel like the power9 is not as powerful as beginning? I feel like it still pulls the same, but sometimes it...

    E+ bicycle hand-made in USA UPDATE

    Miro -- I wasn't responding to you -- I was responding to Slacker -- in regards to his previous posts sorry for the misunderstanding. - I appreciate your input in regards to your E+ and your research into other battery alternatives -- I too would love to make the E+ more than a once per day ride

    E+ bicycle hand-made in USA UPDATE

    I'm pretty good on sleep. Maybe you shouldn't post something completely wrong aka "Look it up on google" -- I did what you said and your numbers were wrong confirming what i had wrote previously -- maybe just push the slacker in you, and add 10 more seconds of thinking/actually looking time...
