Pretty fun watching this on glympse. He's on the Hennepin Canal bike trail cruising at a a cool 25 mph. About 25 miles east of Moline IL. So cool.

I've been following this too. I remember following Justin's trip in 07 or 08. Seeing this adventure got me thinking about upgrades to my Yuba my goal is to do a 500 miler self supported trip sometime in September. Seeing those people with the kickstarter... Anybody can do a trip like that with...

If it helps I have a heavy cargo bike and a heavy rider living in the Rocky Moutains... I think my bike (hub motor battery) and my fat ass weighs in at 340 pounds but I do load up frequently with at least 50 pounds of crap from the grocery store or camping gear for my touring rides. I had a Ping...

There's also this thread which uses a micro USB wire. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=28812.

I have a 48 V 20 Ah ping pack that I bought last year that I puffed some cells on by running regen too soon on a fullish battery (It also could have been the balance wires had an issue which is why the last 4 pouches on each side puffed. or It could be I left the BMS connected for too long this...

I actually bought the Crystalyte HS3540 so it's not that fast winding motor. Justin talked me in to that motor over a Ezee saying that regen would make cogging a wash... not sure if I believe it. I easily got 80 miles out of my my 36v 20Ah on the flats with the geared motor not sure I could...

Background: I had a 36 V 20 AH Ping v1 and a BMC V1 rear mounted on a Yuba mundo for about 3 years and put over 5000 miles on it. Eventually though the Ping got a couple of runt cels and I upgraded to a 48 v 20 AH Ping, I also bought a controller and a and new CA from Grin and I have had...

I took my bike on a long touring ride over the last weekend 170 miles round trip from Salt Lake City to Brigham City. The setup was a Hy-power cycle modded 25 A 12 fet BMC controller that I've had for a couple of years, a v2 BMC geared hub motor a brand new 48 V 20 AH Ping v3 battery and an old...

I realize that the connectors are the balance leads but what are the connectors called?... This pack is way bigger than what I was expecting... Oh well a couple of ammo cans mounted on the rear rack of my mundo and I won't even know it's there while riding... I's only 4 pounds heavier than the...

I think you are right. 2 x 24 V 20 AH packs. So what is this connector called? Should I find a male and female of that connector and create a harnessor should I cut it off and hard wire it? Or cut it of and go with some Anderson's in a 4x2 configuration? I'll likely need 3 ft of new wire to...

I just received this in the mail today... and I'm trying to decide if I received the wrong battery pack. I ordered a 48V 20 Ah battery and from what I can tell without have a DMM on me it appears I got something else. My enclosed invoice and web invoice says 48 20 Ah but looking at the pics on...

I had that same thing happen on my BMC hub motor... what eventually ended up happening was the cheap China metal on male threaded side on the motor sheared off so the threads stayed on the inside of the freewheel and the free wheel eventually spun free, but it started out in the same way you are...

I sent Cellman an email about 3 weeks ago about buying one of his packs... never heard back from him. I need to do some searching on the forum to see what the concensus is about the BMSbattery A123 cels and BMSs and build my own pack with the 38140S.

Usually it wouldn't drop much below 36V but I have to remember that most of my riding then was on the flats of the valley. There is a slight uphill grade all in all but one direction so I need to remember that the bike won't perform the same way. I haven't tried the 8% uphill climb yet but I'm...

Thought I'd take a minute to update this thread... I ordered a replacement BMS from Ping opened up the duct tape and replaced the BMS connector wires and admired what a cool setup the Ping pack really is, quite the design IMO. So for the last few days I've been charging and bleeding off with...
