    electric trial bike

    Hi, I've just tried the EM 5.7 at and around the factory, and I'm just amazed at the quality, the feeling of the bike... and its nice crew. It can be used from beginner to Expert, really versatile with its different maps. In 15 minutes I was at ease with the handling and controls. Within a...

    KTM freeride is going into production 2015

    From the beginning, it seems that KTM is keen on making their own engine cases, perhaps wanting to appear as a complete e-bike maker, not only part assembling, and thus are looking for different solutions from what's existing. Electric Motion (em5.7) chose to pick up from different manufacturer...

    Motor is said to have 260-300v voltage, battery is 2,7kwh, that makes a 300v-10ah pack, what is the interest of so high a voltage compared to a 48v for exemple ?

    And here is the full electrical setup, It work for sure, but throttle control seems to be just on/off, I'll have to correct this. Perhaps it's because motor has no load ?

    Just finished my battery case and harness ! Charging at 10 amps for a first attempt, seems to work fine, no heat at all. I have halved the pack so as to charge it as 2 separate 6s2p packs, in the end, the contact Key will do the halving of the pack (it is a battery connector as found on...

    LMX P2 : Freeride trials motorcycle frame development

    With this corrected frame, Adam, you've addressed what would have refrained me from buying it in the first place. I mean gusseting seems now right, ball bearings for swing arm, excellent ! What about the swing arm, I'm sure you can even save weight on it. Xavier

    Nissan Leaf set up for noob

    Thx John, I thought these weren't compresses in the Leaf setup. I think I'll make compression plates part of the battery box structure as stiffeners. I should begin designing it tomorrow.

    Nissan Leaf set up for noob

    Thanks for your answers ! These are new cells, supposed to be unused ( By the way : Any precautions to be taken with new packs ?), and they are particularly well suited for my use, as I needed Big capacity on a motorbike conversion. I read the previous thread where you've shown your setup...

    Nissan Leaf set up for noob

    Each cell is 3,8 V nominal 33 ah, and a module is 7,6 V 60 ah in a 2s2p configuration with a voltage sensor inclused for the whole module (not cell by cell). So I guess I have to find a BMS I can program to handle these specs and balance the modules and not the cells themselves , Any idea ...

    I've been doing my homework, and after calling some people, it turns out that since battery packs are leased, theýre not available for sale nor for salvage in a junkyard. Sooo, I've ordered a 48v60ah pack new from the US. It looks like it's the best deal for me. Now for the numbers : I will...
