    Proper Middrive Shifting technique?

    You could just unplug the gear shift connector when you don't want to use it, that what I've done with my throttle. I just used a couple of rubber caps to protect the ends. Of course doing it this way would require you to physically have to reconnect them each time, and may cause premature wear...

    Proper Middrive Shifting technique?

    My Giant hybrid with the BBS01B 350W mid drive has a shift sensor installed on it. I only ride it in PAS mode, so I have no experience using it with the throttle, but it seems to function just fine. The brief power interruption during shifts doesn't really bother me personally. My 1000w 48V...

    My econo-e-bike

    Yes sir! The disc brakes were a nice upgrade, though I never really had any issues with my V brakes for the kind of riding I do. I bought a Trek Marlin 7 a little over a year ago and it came with hydraulic disc brakes, so it was my first bike with them. I recently acquired a Giant Escape 3 with...

    My econo-e-bike

    Nice! I recently did something similar and moved my kit over from my Trek 4300 with no suspension and no disc brakes, to a used Kona I bought. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61460

    Power assist not working all the time ITS FIXED !

    Could the PAS disc be warped somehow? Maybe some of the magnets aren't lining up well with the PAS sensor during rotation.

    Increasing controller power to my 1000W DD hub motor

    That looks like the same motor and controller I have on my Kona e-bike, right down to the "High Power" sticker on the wheel. I bought the kit back in 2015 from ebay seller, xccessories (spelling?)

    Scored a converted E-Bike for $75!

    I'm always browsing CL and the like, just something I like to do! I was recently on the FaceBook marketplace, and came across a listing for an e-bike for only $75! It only needed a battery, and get this, the battery I have for my current bike worked on it! It already had the battery bracket. I...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Recently found an old Kona Blast Deluxe on my local CL, so I swapped my kit from the Trek 4300 over to it. Now I have front suspension and hydraulic disc brakes! The Trek 4300 originally came with a suspension fork, but I snapped it when I originally installed a 48v 1000w FHM on it without...

    New rear hub motor instead!

    Thank you! I still ride it primarily as a pedal assist and it hardly ever sees level 4 or 5, so that may be helping!

    New rear hub motor instead!

    Just a little update: The kit is still performing great! A few months ago I came across a KONA mtn. bike that has hydraulic disc brakes and front suspension w/lockout, so I bought it! I transferred the kit to the Kona frame. The suspension fork was no good however, it would compress even in...

    EZip Trailz 1600-43,000 mile - 1-10 Year Report

    Wow, nice write up! I still have my 2013 model but it's sitting in my back yard. I actually looked it over around Christmas time and didn't notice any rust on it! It has a 36 volt controller too, but it I wound up converting my 2010 Trek 4300 with a YesCom 48V 1000W RHM. The issue with me was...

    Battery concern.

    Thank you for your input guys! I contacted the seller about it, he runs an electric bike shop in California. He said the battery will work fine, I just wont get as many miles between charges as a larger AH battery with the same voltage. The 500 Max motor thing threw me off. He did say he would...

    Battery concern.

    Hello all! I have a question concerning a battery I just received from an eBay purchase. It is a 48V 12AH Lithium-ion battery. I didn't know until I got it that it is rated for a 500W MAX motor, as it wasn't in the description text. It is on the actual battery label, but you don't see that...

    ezip battery contacts conversion - Voltage Upgrade?

    If your step through ezip trails was made after 2008, you will need to upgrade your controller to a 36V, if I remember correctly. The HVC is 29V on the 24V system. I changed my 24V controller to a 36V controller on my 2013 eZip Trails, and powered it with two 18.5V 30C 5000mah lipo bricks in...

    Ebay Fraud - ebike kit - xcceries seller

    I too have been very pleased with my YESCOM 48V 1000W RHM kit, that I installed going on three years ago! I even bought it from the same eBay seller, it was a very pleasant experience! Maybe I need to ride a few of the better bikes to know what I'm missing, but my kit has performed pretty well...

    Issue with 5s LIPO brick.

    The comment I posted in the link you provided was only because someone had stated you need AT LEAST 44.4V for a 48V system to work. I was just saying that I have powered my 48V 1000W system with only 2 18.5V bricks (42V FOC) and it still worked. This was only done once, however. I've been...

    Issue with 5s LIPO brick.

    I am not using the brick at all right now and actually have it in a BBQ pit. The bad cell is in the middle, I've watched a few videos on YT, but am still not clear on how to eliminate it.

    Issue with 5s LIPO brick.

    Hello everyone! I am having an issue with one of my 5s LIPO bricks. When I use the balance lead, it is showing that the 3rd cell only has around 1.3V and the charger does it's job and cancels the charge. However if I only use the positive and negative leads, without the balance plug, it shows...

    New rear hub motor instead!

    Thanks! I honestly have not had any issues in that area, but I also wonder if it's because I never give the bike full power.

    First ebike, very excited!

    Nice setup! I ride a Trek 4300 too, it's a 2010 non disc model. I have a 1000w 48V RHM kit installed on it, it's worked pretty well for two years now! The original front suspention forks broke when I tried to run a 1KW FHM on it without torque arms, I replaced them with a steel non suspension...

    New rear hub motor instead!

    Although the setup has worked fine without them for 2 years now, they are highly recommended by many people! I will look into adding them; thanks!!

    New rear hub motor instead!

    Two years and it's still going strong!! I did break one spoke a few months back when I forgot the gears were in 3/8, and I cranked on the pedals from a stop in PAS L-1. I heard a ping type sound and wanted to kick myself!! Surprisingly however the wheel is still rollin true, and I still have not...
