Thank you guys so much for all the help... I am excited about my build again...

Would something like this work on the front hub. I guess I would probably have to re-lace my front wheel onto a hub that would be compatible with this right?

I just purchase a used Electra Straight 8 to convert to electric. I love the look of this bike. I want to put a bafang BBSHD mid drive system on the bike. I noticed however that the bike only has coaster brakes on the rear wheel, the kind that stop you when you pedal backwards. It has no...

Hi Guys, This is my first Video post so please go easy on me... I finally finished my conversion project of my Giant Trance X2, and my family gave me a gopro for my birthday. Yipee! I am really happy with the way it turned out... Some Specs: Motor: MAC 500 from Cell Man Cycle Analyst from...

Thanks Guys!

Hi Guys, I just got a GoPro camera for my birthday. I am trying to upload a video of my ebike, but once it has completed uploading, it just seems to disappear. Is there anyone that can inform me on the process for posting a video? Thanks. Jerry

Two Questions: 1. Do you think we (the diy hobbyists) will now be able to buy A123 cells directly from the company? 2. Will GM still use A123 cells in their Chevy Spark EV?

I'm sure this has probably been covered on this forum ad nauseum, however I cannot seem to find any real conclusive information on the subject. My question is, is it necessary to cycle your LIPO batteries on a monthly basis? I was watching some videos on the Maxamps website, and the guy in the...

I came across this headline while searching for news on battery technology. I would be totally bummed, now that we seem to be getting some access to these cells. Jerry A123 sees "going concern" risk due to steep losses (Reuters) - Lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems Inc (AONE.O) said on...

Amigafan, Did you have that one custom made by someone, or did you find that box somewhere pre-made? That's exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the help!

You call that a bruise? Seriously? LOL Try these on for size...

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a vendor where I could buy a custom aluminum case (built to my custom dimensions) for my Lipo Battery pack. Currently I have 6 - 5000maH turnigy batteries for a total of 48V and 15aH. I would like to attach it to my bike utilizing the holes in...

Wow, that is some beautiful country... I love the video. What camera are you using? Jerry

Thanks for all the helpful ideas... The charger is definitely set the "charge" not "store". When it cuts out, the hyperion does not play the "charge completed" tune, it simply exits out of charge mode. I am using an Alinco DM-330MV power supply capable of providing 32Amps, so I don't believe...

Thanks for all the replies... I am still having the problem where midway through the charge cycle, my charger just aborts the charge process. It does not give me any indication as to why. Initially, the charger would quit charging and give me a "capacity end" message. I think that is because...
