    Wondering about PBI brand INR26650P_01 3500mAh Li ion cells

    No problems that I know of yet. Just asking. Right now I don't have a way to try it out. My bike is broken, and my skateboard can't handle quite that high of voltage without blowing it up. I'm not sure when I'll be able to fix my bike, or change my skateboard electronics at this time. I have...

    Wondering about PBI brand INR26650P_01 3500mAh Li ion cells

    I discovered a little more about this battery and pack. It's made in china by People Battery Inc (PBI). Here is their website: http://www.cnpeg.cn/en/battery The cell specs are as follows per the mfg (link is...

    Wondering about PBI brand INR26650P_01 3500mAh Li ion cells

    Do you have experience with PBI brand INR26650P_01 3.65V 3500mAh Li ion cells? I just acquired a used 36V 40 cell pack of these, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these cells/packs, and can share their knowledge/experience with them. It looks like it is 10s4p. I was told the...

    another must see new ev very cool

    I have not been to the Electraflyer website for a long time now, so this may not be accurate anymore. The original Electraflyer trike and Electraflyer C did use the Perm 132 brushed motor. There is no way they were "modified" as sometimes claimed. They might be working on developing their...

    Minimalist activities: eBikes and Paragliders

    pwbset didn't mention the potential altitude lost while correcting the asymmetric. Should one occur while you're at low altitude, the ground is coming up real fast, and there may not be room to recover. This is one of the biggest reasons I've not become biwingwal in paragliders. Overall, I...

    12 kw rc motor

    Markobetti and Hal, I'm one of the people who hopes you'll wind and test a star version with lower kv. I wrote once before in this thread, but there were no replies. Actually I was hoping for it to be wound in a way that allows the external wires to be reconfigured for either star or delta...

    Solar blimp/Aerobatic airplane

    Jeremy, Thanks for the informative replies. I don't mean to bug you, but, exactly how did you reinforce the angle behind the front fork? I'm really intrigued by your build technique. I've used a similar telescoping type square steel tubing for lots of my car rack projects in the past. Is...

    Solar blimp/Aerobatic airplane

    Wow Jeremy, It's crystal clear you but a lot of care, thought, effort and skill into your trike build. It really shows, excellent job! So, the "T" joint (connecting the rear spring to the front wheel longeron) is composite too? How does the joint of the "T" get it's strength?

    Solar blimp/Aerobatic airplane

    Jeremy, Nice simple and clean trike design for your paramotor. What are the materials and/or construction details of the cross-member for the rear (landing) wheels? I was guessing/speculating that the Green Cri-Cri might be using 4 Plettenberg Predators for the motors.

    12 kw rc motor

    Marcobetti or HAL9000v2.0, Is the current or planned release motor version going to be user selectable for delta vs. wye configuration? That is, no physical rewinding required? I don't recall that anyone (besides me) has been interested in a wye configured version, with the possible exception...

    A different e-Zip Trailz

    Thereyago, I don't think you can practically use the scooter motors along with the bike gear reduction system. They just won't physically match up. You would have to come up with a whole new gearing system and gear ratio. If the voltages and wattages are close enough, I don't see why you...

    Possible electric skateboard

    shoebox, I own a mostly stock (except for the deck) Exkate/Altered Proline 600 (600W motor) skateboard. I'm also pretty familiar with their older and current products. I've also ridden both 2 wheel independent rear wheel drive and 4 wheel independent all wheel drive skateboards that were...

    A different e-Zip Trailz

    I looked at the specs of the motor controller I'm currently using. It's rated at 36V up to 1000 watts. Might explain why I don't get the full power of both motors which in theory would put out around 900 watts at 24V. Since I'm running both motors at around 36V, in theory they could put out up...

    Smay28, Really just a small boost in climbing. I don't think the motor is geared right for climbing. Going up the hill from Los Alisos to Alicia (which is likely the steepest hill that's long on my route, I'll slow to 12mph while peddling. But going down that hill I get to 30+ mph. That...

    Smay28, Sounds like you did see me. That's the route I take going home from work. I remember both who was probably you on a non-roadie style bike, and the roadie. I live pretty close to Margarite and Trabucco. Since switching from the single forced air cooled 450, to dual stock 450s (and...

    Oh yeah, It's hilly where I ride, and I do my best to avoid the hills in my commute. There is no speed limiting circuitry, the speed is limited by the rider weight, wind resistance, gravity, rolling resistance, voltage, gearing, amps pulled and motor size only.

    Smay28, Not sure if you're asking me, but if you are: My dual motor conversion is still working well, the two (450W) motors (from TNC scooters) now have about 1080 miles on them. I haven't done anything to them since I bought and installed them in the dual configuration. I'm thinking I...

    It was model CT-660B9, electrical part number 101205. Still working well, and still slightly better (speed and power wise) than the stock Currie controller. I have about 154 miles (340 miles total since switching to dual motors) on the bike since last replacing the motor controller with the...

    Shayne, When I first switched to 36V (about 40-41V with my fully charged LiFePO4), My stock 24V 450W motor burned up in a couple days with no cooling. Then I got a 36V 250W motor, and it lasted a while, but was over taxed and eventually melted the wire insulation near the brushes where the...

    Brushed motor controller input for dual motor Ezip Trailz

    I need to find a capable, bullet-proof, inexpensive (like from TNC scooters) brushed motor controller substitute for my dual parallel motor converted Ezip Trailz. I think my stock Currie controller (24V 35A?) can't take the load, and is nearly dead because of it. The replacement controller(s)...

    Don, You need to remove the center support. I put a sturdy piece of plywood on the bottom of my pack to support it. I used pieces/layers of coroplast (looks like corrogated cardboard, but made of polypropylene, sign board material) cut to size as side and top filler where needed. I put...
