    Wire extensions

    I am in the process of moving my 48v 1000w kit over to a Rans V2 longbike. Recumbents intrigue me for the efficiency and the price was right. My wires are WAY too short for this frame, and I need to add between 2 and 4 feet to the brake cutoff switches, throttle, LCD, etc. Not sure the...

    Bent China rim at 400ish miles. Major pothole.

    OK, so maybe my standards of expectations are high...yup, they are. Hit a MAJOR new pothole on the way to work today (in the dark) and taco'd my (China kit double walled Supermagnificent brand or whatever it is) rim and rack (yes, you guys were right, buy steel or overbuilt racks) rated for...

    Mean Well power supply problem

    I bought a lot of 3 S-320's from ebay. They all powered up and output the correct voltage, and adjust as expected, so they seem to be functional as advertised. I have tried hooking them up singly, hooked them to the battery, and they all seem to hit peak wattage then drop off to nothing over...

    Can I tap a hole here?

    Trying to install some fenders on Tallstriider (Yes, I named it- why not?) and ran into an issue...no holes for front fender supports on a suspension fork. No worries, as I am in the process of figuring something out. Before I go the ghetto hose clamp/angle bracket fabrication route, maybe one...

    Battery charging procedure with BMS

    Totally new to BMS's and batteries of this size and chemistry. Not a total battery n00b, as I do have an off grid cabin running on a 540AH Lead acid, and am familiar with care and feeding thereof. For my ebike, I have a 48v 20AH Lithium battery currently that came with an internal BMS and a...

    n00b Questions including Battery theft

    Howdy from Denver! Lurking for a couple weeks, reading as much as I can, and I am totally enthralled with the Ebike idea. I will be converting my Trek 4500 22.5" aluminum frame over to electric for commuting via bike trail to work. It is a rigid frame with front fork suspension only. I am...
