    "Copper/nickel sandwich" buses for series connections

    My limited understanding was if the controller is asking 40A from a battery pack made of 18650-25R (2.5Ah, 20A-max) with no BMS (or a BMS that is 45A or 50A, meaning the BMS factor is irrelevant in this case study) then a pack made of 10S2P is 36V-nom (42V-max) 5Ah 40A-max you are pulling 20A...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Your motor must have been built on a Friday near closing time. Is the added pcb board new or have they been doing that for awhile? I literally can not remember if mine had a pcb board, but I think I would have remember if it did. I use an unsensored controller so I only use phase wires and...

    How many volts do you run on your daily driver ebike, emoped or eBSM?

    I have 14S 52V Grintech 14.5Ah hard case with 40A that I bought with a Satiator thats charged to 56V at low amps when I get home then 58.80V charged at high amps before I leave the next day. I also have 10S 36V Ryobi battery thats only ever charged to 40.40V not 42V. I use both batteries when...

    Move to XenForo software

    I am in no rush for the cross over to the new format as I am set in my ways, its just human nature but I will learn like everything in life. I am curious as to when the switch might happen? Thanks for putting in so much work for a time consuming task, I am not so much computer oriented when it...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    OK, but even the RH spoke flange is not uniform not like traditional hub motor designs for the flanges. Whats the affect of saving that kind of weight on the rotational assembly without jeopardizing hub motor strength where its crucial at the spoke flange. I'm sure its been tested and is more...

    Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor

    Not to mention 27H vs 35H, better heat dissipation, not sure if the Grintech's motor is more efficient then Leafs. The Leafs 35H is better heat dissipation apple-to-apple, meaning if both using FF but its not really an apples to apples comparison for the different physical size, more metal, more...

    Nick's Black eTownie

    Don't worry so much about the dropouts, they handled my hub motor, 2kw just fine with mxus 3kw (heavy heavy heavy motor) However I wasn't doing jumps or getting air, just the occasional curb action is all. Its the holes in the frame for the cable routing you have to be concerned about. My blue...

    OCC Stingray hotrod

    I dig the build, but 72V 65A on a MY1020 motor, a quick google on my part comes up with 500W for that motor, but yours is a Vevor MY1020 so different then https://www.electricscooterparts.com/motors-my1020.html which are Unite. I also never seen v-brakes on any wide rim, but you cant beat the...

    ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking https://www.youtube.com/c/ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking Is pretty good and what I go to for mobo's and ram info. I haven't found anything else but I haven't looked either because I am not looking for a new computer. Every now and then I just like to surf and see...

    Ebike riding with a speaker and lots and lots of lights?

    I ran into a beer 12 x seat bicycle thing in a neighborhood next to the down core, where the rich folk live and the yuppies live and hangout in Inglewood (unlike Cali's) It was a real loud annoyance and it blocked traffic, seen it 2 times. Last was at a keto cafe and it really pissed me off. I...

    Ebike riding with a speaker and lots and lots of lights?

    A horn is a great idea, maybe have two or three modes. Normal noise level, and more and more noise level ;) I have a handlebar bell and I make noise (whistling sometimes) The fat bike made a lot more noise with its 26x4 tires then my 26x2 and 700x45 setup does. I notice a difference with road...

    My econo-e-bike

    Always best to measure the rim yourself. Chain Reaction has a size down to 182, 184, 186, 188, 192 on up if that meets your requirements. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/spokes I've played around trying to find the right ERD of a rim to fit those sizes and playing around with the spoke...
