Re: Anyone offer Ebike consultation for $$?
Oh I guess I have a bad eye for judging hill gradient. There’s a hill going east on York Mills at Yonge that I thought was such a grade. I'm guessing around 6.5%, based on 100ft rise and 0.3 mile run. That's the same as the street I take from the bottom of the hill to my house. That would be more r...

Re: Can MAC 8T take 2000W+?
Hi everyone, I have a MAC 8T hub motor paired with ASI BAC 800 controller and 52v battery w/ 40A BMS. It is currently set for 1500w max. Would it be safe to run this around 2000W or a little beyond? TIA. burst or continuous? it'll last a few minutes continuous. Burst for up to 5 mins. Looks like 3 ...

Re: Sondors Ebike problem
Can't tell what you've tried since you don't appear to be approaching this methodically. Maybe you did this, but plug everything back in, push the switch that usually turns on the bike, then check all of the throttle wire voltages to ground, using the pin/needle trick. Report back if you find a 5V s...

Re: Battery won’t charge.
One day I plugged in the charger and nothing, it wouldn’t go into charge mode. I unplugged the charger and checked the fuse, it was blown, so I replaced it with the same exact type and amp rating. I plugged in the charger and the charger went into charge mode for about a second, but then it almost ...

Re: Right settings for regenerative charge ?
It means that the BMS would not be limiting current during regen, so you have to protect the battery yourself by choosing a reasonable charging current, based on the cell specs and pack configuration.

Re: Right settings for regenerative charge ?
The battery from your link appears to have an XLR connector for charging, and separate Anderson connectors for discharging.

Re: 5 way lights/ indicator/ horn switch help
I'm guessing that the middle wire coming of the switch ( inside the unit) is the negative and the other two are the positive ones, one each for the left and right indicators. So if they are like the headlight one wire in and one wire out how do I connect them?? The turn signal switch can have eithe...

Re: 5 way lights/ indicator/ horn switch help
The one I have is wired like this:
2 X White wires = Horn (green button)
2 X Red wires = Head Light (red button)
1 X Yellow wire= Left Turn Signal
1 X Green wire = Right Turn Signal
1 X Brown wire= Ground wire for Turn Signal Lights
2 X White wires = Horn (green button)
2 X Red wires = Head Light (red button)
1 X Yellow wire= Left Turn Signal
1 X Green wire = Right Turn Signal

Re: Can I and should I do this
Are you sure the OP wants to keep the 26" on the front? Looked to me like OP wants to go 20" on both F/R: Ahh, that makes more sense. I think when I saw the part about changing out the fork to a smaller one, I got thrown off, since that would change the geometry. Cranks will need to be pr...

Re: Can I and should I do this
I didn't ask if you plan on pedaling or not. If not, and are just going to occasionally turn the cranks, then I would go with a MXUS 3K hub, set up for a single speed freewheel. The pedal drop is more like 2", since the bottom bracket is located about 60/40 between front and rear axles. You cou...

Hi everyone. New here and need your help. I have an older (mid 1990s) Dean Titanium Bicycle that weighs about 12 lbs loaded. I’m thinking of making it an e bike. Questions: 1. It has 26” tires on it now but would like to put 20” on it. I am older and want to have my feet on the ground and also have...

Yes, and probably a more reliable way of limiting current.webosplash wrote: ↑Feb 23 2021 5:23pmdo you think i can just limit the draw from my controller as i've already bought everything .

Re: Help with an e-bike for my courier job
Thank you for slapping me into reality. :) Jeez, I had no idea the battery cell requirements were so huge. I thought the approximate amount would be an order of magnitude lower. Okay. I'm adjusting my new speed target to 15-20 mph. I'm assuming that would lower voltage, like 36 maybe? You have the ...

Re: Newbie rear hub drive Q's- how not to fry my motor
Wow, I'm glad I asked. I guess I'm going to be doing some climbing with the motor shut off. The hill I am concerned with turns out to be a mile long at 5% grade, with the steepest section being 9% for 0.5 mile. The donor bike I'm using has a 28tF 34tR low gear, so I might be able to keep it upright...

Re: Help with stray voltage
Try measuring resistance between the frame and battery negative. If you see a low reading, like ohms, you have a short. If the meter shows high, more than megohms, then it's good. Your meter is very sensitive and you can get stray readings like that just from moisture or stray resistance in the con...

Re: Help with stray voltage
1. Are the BMS or contactor mounted to the frame? Maybe a floating ground vs chassis ground issue.
2. Why two threads/posts??
