    72V electrocution?

    Just getting into using 72V (max 75.6) and am slightly worried about getting electrocuted when touching the terminals. I understand anything above 50v can ''potentially'' kill you but what's the deal with 75v (high discharge capable) batteries? Any users here ever touch their high voltage...

    How to undo a stuck round thing?

    Controller reliability? help

    In the last couple of months I have somehow blown 2 cyclone controllers which i am pretty annoyed about. They were both from cyclone and are 40A rated (100A burst) controllers one rated to 60v other was up to 72v. Both had the same symptom - randomly stopping entirely, and there is a small...

    Safest ebike tyre setup?

    Had quite a scary crash where the rear tyre suddenly blew out and it made me lose control and be thrown off sideways at speed. I really don't want this to happen again as if it was on a road or was the front wheel it could be much worse. I'm using inner tubes in 26'' mtb tires, would I be...

    Cyclone kit suddenly failed? Throttle or controller..?

    It was all working perfectly running smoothly. I had tested it well on full throttle up a steep hill in a high gear (worst conditions for the controller to burn) Then randomly going at low speed it stopped running, the lights on the throttle stayed on but nothing happens when I twist it. I can...

    Cyclone or GNG mid drive kit?

    Hiya After failing with making a rear wheel drive system I have decided to get a ready made mid drive kit. I'm not sure what to buy though, after looking around I think either a cyclone or GNG kit. I can't really afford an EGO or lightningrods kit even though it would be ideal. So (at the...

    Experts (or not) - do you think this will be successful?

    I'm using this motor http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__22036__NTM_Prop_Drive_50_60_270KV_2400W.html And a 200A ESC (un-sensored) On a 13:1 gear ratio (which at 25V will give a max possible speed of 36mph.) Sprocket + chain so no slips Does this look like a project that will work...
