    Raleigh Route | BBSHD | 14s7p 35E

    The number of ebikes one should own is always n+1. And, a bike with no motor on it is just waiting for one. Plus, I needed to build an alternative to my hi-racer bacchetta, which was my cardio ebike for a while. Problem is, the speeds I like to ride at make regular bumps cause a fair amount of...

    Two identical batteries in parallel on the same bike

    Someone asked a question about charging 2 batteries with one charger,. It prompted me to ask a similar question, but with other specifics. I can build bikes, but I'm a bit electro-dumb. I have the EM3ev 14s7p hardcase rectangle pack. It has ~70 cycles on it. Just bought a second one, exactly...

    Huffy Mayhem | Cyclone 3000 | 14s 30a

    I'm not the kinda guy who buys a huffy walmart bike. I am, however willing to accept one when it's given to me for free, in reasonable condition. Then of course, turn it around and build a fully functional beach ebike! Since the salt will take it eventually, I won't care, due to the minimal...

    Raleigh Redux | X1 Pro | 14s7p 35E

    Yet another x1 pro conversion. The Abomination was never going to be comfy enough for me to ride realistically, and I never got around to taking a video. So, I tore it off and slapped the kit on the redux. This bike once had the cyclone 3000 with barely 1000w. Top speed so far is 48 mph, on...

    Scott CR1 | X1 Pro | 14s 45a

    I was in the process of fitting a BBSHD to my nice road bike, when I found that it wouldn't fit at all. What a bummer. That's what I wanted, something more sensible. Then, I looked over at my X1 pro, sitting there collecting dust, and wondered, " what if ... " And so, the Abomination came to...

    Bacchetta Giro | BBSHD | 14s7p 35E | 500w PAS

    Short wheelbase recumbents are totally awesome machines. Fun to ride, conversation starter, head turner, super comfortable, maneuverable, ridiculous aerodynamic efficiency, etc. You get the point. I scored one and I've been having lots of fun riding it around in regular bicycle mode. The bbshd...

    Cycle Analyst 2.4 Voltmeter Problem

    Out riding today, and the voltmeter goes haywire, all over the place, dipping down to 70, 50, 15v , when it was just at 90v. It (the CA) wouldn't power on a few times, then when it did, the voltmeter was 4v off, and it sagged by twice as much as it was supposed to. Using regen, the volts went...

    Fast Charging a 24s11p GA Pack

    As stated in the specs, a GA cell has a standard charge current of 1.675a (others say 1.475a) . Is this 'standard current' a safe value that avoids too much heat? Or, is there an unlisted fast charge current for the GA, as is listed for the 30Q (1.5a std, 4a fast) I have a 24s11p of GA that...

    Charging to 24s with 14s charger and boost converter?

    All right, I don't see how this wouldn't work, but may as well pass it by you guys as a sanity check. I have one of the affected Cycle Satiator 72v chargers that needs to go back for warranty. So, in the mean time, I still want to ride my ebike with a 24s battery. I have a 58.8v 3a charger, and...

    Discrepancy between CycleAnalyst and Satiator

    My cycleanalyst says that I've used 26 ah during a ride, while my satiator only says 16 ah after charging. What gives here? I'm inclined to believe my analyst, but both are from the same manufacturer. This is charging to 97v , and discharging to 87v , which consistently shows around 26 ah and...

    Raleigh Redux 1 + Cyclone 3000 + 14s 30a

    In case you didn't know, Raleigh actually makes cool bikes. But, you probably won't see them in a bike shop that uses them as a secondary brand. Or, they'd likely be selling these out from under the specialized/trek/giant/ etc that they carry. This is a 2018 Raleigh Redux 1 in matte blue ...

    Is a lower Kv motor better suited for my battery?

    I have a 35mm DD motor right now, with an 11.46 Kv. The battery is 24s, and will be run at 40a peaks. No long duration hill climbing, but it is 90F almost year round. I have the option to go for the same motor build, with a 7.5 Kv. I won't ever be pushing more than 40a , and I'm running 89v...

    Contributing to the Ebike Addiction of a Minor

    So, yep, riding the ebike down the trail the other day. I pass 2 kids fishing off of a dam. One says, " Hey, is that electric? " To which I responded, "Yes it is" . And, I told him some stuff about it. Then, he had the guts to ask me if he could ride it. I responded with my rehearsed answer...

    Final thoughts on battery pack, before welding?

    Hey all, here's the best arrangement of the cell layout of a 24s11p. What are your thoughts, critique, opinion, based on your prior experience? Thanks, Philip

    Ever met an unfriendly ebiker in the field?

    The universe gave me a new one tonight: a Safety Justice Warrior ebiker. Dude was coming up the Cady Way Trail, headed towards Oviedo, just past Howell Branch Rd. He was riding a mtb with DD motor, prob a leaf 1500. I was going 20, so he must have been at 25 or so. Came out of nowhere, with no...

    Quit doing magic bro ...

    So, I'm out ebiking last night, and I come up to a road, and wait for some cars. While I'm there, I hear some dude to my 7 o'clock, saying something. He's about 100ft away, in the dark bushes, at 10pm. Looks like he's having a smoke or something. Then, I heard him : " Quit doing magic bro...

    Anybody try 100v 30a on an EDGE 1500?

    I doubt I would be the first to try this, but this is what I want to build. The 3sp switch will be set for 10a, 20a, and 30a. Should be interesting to see how it performs. From what I've read, amps create a lot of heat, and the edge 1500 can take short bursts of 3000w. If I reduce the amps...

    Ever had an ebike breakdown?

    This has happened to me twice in a week, now! Riding 20~30 miles, then it stops working. Both times at night, and in the same area. The first time was the on/off switch plug had come undone. Easily fixable had I known more about what I was looking at. But, this time (tonight, 30 min ago) it was...

    Can you recommend a better BMS?

    I'll be getting a 24s10p pack built out of panasonic GA cells, for an EDGE 1500. The controller is rated for up to 100v, 40a. It's the hub motor kit from Alan (E.R.T.). I'll only pull a max of 30 amps peak. So far, I have my eyes on a bestech HCX-D276, rated for 55 amps continuous. There is...

    72v on Front Geared Hub Motor?

    I have a geared hub motor running 52v 20a , and tops out at about 28mph on a 700 x 38c tire. I'd like to get a little more speed out of it, but can't go too big on the torque. So, it seems that running 72v and 12~15a would be a way to do it, after replacing the controller and battery. It won't...

    What is the narrowest option for 21" moto tires?

    Looking around, all I see are several options in this 90/90-21 sized tire that measures out to about 3" wide, and probably more. This won't fit my frame, which has at best a 2.5" clearance.
