Ah great thanks. Just realised I need 36v. Sorry will miss this one

Does the smart BMS check each cell voltage? What capacity is left in WH?

Yeah but i try to travel cheap. Renting scooter is not cheap depending on where you are. I'm now in paris and I've checked the uber scooter for rent, it's like €1 to take the scooter then €0.10/min. Each journey could easily cost €2.5. Then going out would cost me €5-€10 depending on where I...

I'll find out I think. Because the weight is so tiny that it overcome a lot of the problem with standard hub drive even with freewheel (there is drag even if it's small) as well as being 1/3 of any typical kit weight. Your BBS or whatever crank drive are great but they are adding quite a bit of...

It's a good point and I may as well just take the bus everywhere.... or pedaling a bit and sweat my shit out wherever I go :lol: could we still give it the benefit of a doubt? I've checked the review of the kit and it's not so bad...

Have you seen the Qiroll kit? https://qirollshop.com/product/qre-muteb60/ It's a friction drive small enough to fit in a pocket. The total kit is under 2kg. It does fit most bikes and I just need a small screwdriver to install it on a bike. It looks like it can be done in 10 min or so. I'm not...

I've found this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001995469401.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.43503c00PkdfGR&mp=1 Seems perfect for what I need actually. Very compact as well. Now... if only I could use my USB C charger to ALSO charge my battery that would be even better. Can't manage to find any...

Not at all. Bear in mind I'd be restricted to around 200wh. So not an enormous capacity. Maybe 300wh if I feel lucky. Assuming using the Qiroll 24V or 6s setup, I'll carry 6s2p or 12 cells. Each cell would cost between $5 (reclaimed) and $8...

I messaged the seller a week ago he's not very responsive... maybe i shouldn t buy it if he can't even answer for a sale...

Yes that's very much the plan. Get a disposable bike with a disposable kit. A $300 kit + $100 battery + $100 bike... i could lose any of them at any stage it wouldn't be a big deal.

I'd love to travel with a brompton. But its a too expensive piece of kit and having been stolen many many times my phones (4x) and my ebikes (4x) on various situations, this is not something I'd want to risk again. - what if the brompton luggage is lost in the airport? - what if it's stolen when...

I'm about to buy the quiroll kit and I'll create customs battery up to 100wh. I noticed the battery plug has a 3 pin connector: https://a.aliexpress.com/_vFa1TO Anyone has an idea why? It wouldn't be a ground pin? What could it be? Just want to know if it would work by just pluggin in a this...

You mean in airline? U have a link?

Yes thats the plan. I m also trying just cycling with a €100 road bike and see if I could just get away with any electric

I think I found the solution. Get the Qiroll then use this: https://a.aliexpress.com/_uurahY I can just remove the 21700 cells separately when I get into the plane. Carry 12 of them lol
