Reading this post, i can appreciate high vs low tire pressures, however one thing which baffles me is how some tires can be inflated to the likes of 60psi + or even 80 to 100psi?. Maybe its an international conversion thing which i am not understanding... I have - schwalbe MTB tube 26" -...

I love my MAC - screams 55km through traffic however for such an expensive toy; i have to be cautious of not leaving it hanging around the city for too long. I'm also now looking at other forms of electric such as boosted dual skateboard or this below.. ;) I came across this a few days back and...

Thanks for the heads up teklektik Re the CA and throttle I'll have to revisit this another time to check the details as mentioned. As I've put everything back into place (was just happy I fluked the fix and get her going again) On another note, Would you have any ideas why connecting this...

I want to thank all the people on this forum; it is great that people are so detailed in their posts which has helped me to build my ebike! With literally zero knowledge on electronics and also bikes in general i was able to put together a kit fairly easily (with some major swear words long the...

Hi all, after finally getting some time to play with the CA/ Controller again i am having the same issues at delphinus above. Bought the kit from EM3EV '13 so i'll assume it has the latest firmware (CAV3 Prelime6 Hex File); nevertheless - i am trying to flash it anyways and also get the CA...

I read the below again and again... and tried testing some different settings however i clearly have no idea what i am really doing... The initial settings on this were primarily and the Up Rate and Fast Rate were about 20.00Vlt/sec which from reading the post below; was basically WOT on...

What GPS motion alarm have you got and where do you hide the device?

i am the same re: the concerns. i spray painted any decals and left it all black. If anyone has ideas how to make it look even older. i am down to listen. - some people i've talked to actual duct tape their bike. ;) or make a real messy job of the spray paint. lights/ hornit/ CA devices - i...

@teklektik solid advice; thank you. Skimmed through the CA manual and i think your explanation in lay terms should be on the intro!

Running 14s.. the question though still stands as i am electronically inept. So the key lock can link in series on the 'ignition' wire and optionally the ignition button itself (from Cell_Man's kit)? Also where do you put the circuit breaker? Isn't the point of having a basic & cheap key lock...

hi guys! i am looking to also put a key switch to the controller for that little added security of knowing some clown can't just turn on the bike by accident and turn the throttle... @Tench - from your advice - just to repeat and you can get any basic key switch (like out of an old computer...

Thanks all.. dogman. Makes perfect (logical) sense. BMS --> Controller --> CA. I got the 3 speed switch and upgrade phase cables... though the CA would make the 3speed almost redundant... Not too sure of what these battery shutoffs you are referring to - care to elaborate? So it looks like in...

newbie question. I am confirming how to setup the controller or CA correctly... I got the MAC8T, 12fet 40A, 50V 12.3Ah Samsung Triangle Pack (Cell Type: INR18650-20R (11.7Ah, 580Whr) 14S6PSDITR) From EM3's website it says the "The 20R Pack can easily delivery 40A continuous or more, but is...

So i bought pretty much the same as you did in terms of the mounting the controller upside down - love it... what i didn't think of properly was that project box; i bought one that is too big and had to cut it down to size and now the back is exposed with all the wires. i didn't consider...

Nuts! its too late now. I've already resetted to one of the profiles on XPD! ;p i'll get on to Paul. The eLBS said the battery from Paul are good for a first ebike, He's just advised to lower the amps on the controller to try prolong the life of the battery. MAC 8T Rear, Controller Type: 12...
