The reason for the petition is for lockable boxes, where battery or vehicle can be left charging securely. Then a long journey could be planned with points along the route. C.

Hi, Is there anyone interested in charging their E-bike at street charging points? This would enable E-bike travel away from home, E-cycling holidays etc. At the moment it is only for bikes, but it could be enlarged to other vehicles (Wheelchairs etc) later in the discussion. Here is a...

Hi, d8veh, Works fine now, thanks. Much safer now, especially for those emergency stops. Helpfully BMS Battery added a little bag with connectors and pins for this job, 1 point to them I think. Camerart

Hi, I've been riding round with only the throttle connected, so had to flick it to stop. Today I decided to add the 'electric' brakes that came with it, but find the 2x brakes have a 2pin plug and the SO6S controller has 2x 3pin sockets. What is the best way to wire these up please? Camerart.

Having given this more thought, I have now removed the extra wire connection from my wiring, because they are not needed and in the unlikely event of the power connection between two of the batteries was broken,then the high charge/discharge current would pass along the balance wires. C.

Hi, I asked a question earlier about a gear change. Would it be a good idea to have 'say' two ratios, for electric vehicles? Your KV/efficiency talk is a bit advanced for me :( Camerart.

Hi, Is there any room for this idea for gear change in the skateboard world? : http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/belt-drive-ratio-change.21321/ Go to Post #17. (It's just an idea, not a worked out design) Camerart

Blimey It's long! But it has everything one needs to know. A couple of notes: 1/ No loctite, but a suggested thread lock. ( I like the linseed oil suggestion earlier on in the thread also) 2/ Over tightening and back peddling, to avoid spoke twisting. Thanks, C.

Hi, The Reaktor and cosel power supply are working ok. i need to put a fan on the power supply, as it gets hot, and it has extra connections for this. I already have an Imax b8+, and the Reaktor seems to be based on this, and probably the iCharger too. It will charge up to 10s balanced...

Ah good! I should have made the drawing clearer in the first place. C.

Sorry, I misunderstood. C.

Can you balance charge all of the pack in one go? As far as I can see, I have only missed out the red balance connection in your drawing, which is duplicated by the power wire. Surely that's ok? C.

Another one for the disagree section. Agree: Me, wesnewell. Disagree: Dogman Dan, Dnmun, Jaunty.

See the note at the bottom left of the image: The mauve wires are only connected at the four wire plugs. C.

Hi Dan, Were all clever/dumbshits, depending what day it is. :? I didn't change the wiring when I changed the drawing, just tried to clarify it. I've tried clarifying again! Have another look, and follow ALL the wires from wire 3 on the 9S balance connector, hopefully you will see that...
