I installed a G310 along with a Grinfineon 20a and CA3 on my bike. Worked fine, ran great...until it didn't. Had the max current set to 20 amps (probably too much), and finally stripped the gears after 1150 miles. I wasn't rodding it...but I have a ride that's 13 miles each way, with about a...

I had asked back on 11 April about the type and amount of oil to add to the G310, so I thought I'd report on what I did... I bought a 4-oz bottle of SuperLube 100cSt Silicone oil. (The Opticool sounded good, but I didn't want to spend $100 plus tax and shipping to end up with 50ml of oil.) It...

OK. So I understand that adding ~50ml oil to my G310 to lubricate/remove heat is good, but using Statorade is not right for a geared motor (according to Grin). Also, it appears that ATF wouldn't be good long-term for the electrical side. Could someone recommend a specific oil I could/should use...

Thanx for the info. Kinda sounds like it might be more trouble than it's worth in my case. I've put about 550 miles on it in the past few weeks, so it shouldn't take too long to find out if I'm going to have a problem. I haven't had any issues yet, and anytime I stop to feel the motor, it's...

A question from a novice... I have a basic MTB that I've converted with a CA3 and Grinfineon 20a. I recently swapped the Bafang G020.500 out, replacing it with a G310. I'm VERY pleased with the motor. I gives me plenty of power for the type of riding I do, and it's so quiet. I don't think I'll...

Perfect. Thanks, ilu. That's what I thought would be the case, but I wasn't sure. I have the 20a Grinfineon sinewave controller, so the G310 looks like the right answer for me. For motomech: I am using the CA3, so I can limit the amps if necessary...but I'm not having any issues with the...

I recently installed a 48v kit on my bike, using a Bafang G020.500W motor and Grin's 20a Grinfineon controller and CA3. It works great, especially after some help I got here on the forum. The only issue is that it's s little noisy with the motor buzz. I looked at Grin's website and it looks...

The bike is running great. I went on a 30-mile ride today, trying a few different settings along the way. My #1 observation: that using throttle limit rather than speed limit in the Digital Aux Settings made the bike perform much more smoothly. When I had it set on Speed Limit, it was a little...

amberwolf: I just mean a little softer ramp-up/etc. Tomorrow, I think I'll take a look back at the original settings (other than the max limits and RShunt values) and add them back in slowly and test them. I'm sure I can come up with settings that will work for me, and learn some in the process...

amberwolf, you are a GENIUS! My ebike went from a beached walrus to a scalded dog! I made all of the changes you suggested, as shown in the graphic below (BTW, I apologize for the huge graphics in my first posting...I fixed that). Anywhere you see a big number that is NOT 999999999, it's...

Super. Thanx much, amberwolf. I'll start on this, from the top, tomorrow morning and report on my results.

I’d like to ask for some help in programming my new CA3. I have it basically working, but it is VERY sluggish and low in power (even though it appears that it thinks it’s providing higher power). Background: I have a basic DIY rear hub bike with a Bafang G020.500W motor (only 400 miles on the...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like I'll have some experimentation to do (but that's part of the fun), but it should work. Cheers.

I'm considering replacing the generic square wave controller with a KT sine wave controller on my DIY rear hub ebike (Bafang G020.500 motor, generic controller, DPC18 display). I'd also get the LCD-8H display, and program the parameters as it allows. I have a question, though, about the...

I think my chainline is OK. It looks exactly straight in 5th gear (of my 9-speed). Also, the vibration is at the max of each assist level, regardless of whether it's Level 4 or Level 8, so the gear/chainline is in a different position for each one. As I mentioned, I've tried changing the chain...
