Not sure if anyone has experience with the Ebikeling waterproof kits... I recently put together a bike with one of the 1500 watt kits. I was able to get one 10 mile ride in; during that ride every now and then I would get error code 8 on the display (throttle error). But I was able to let off...

If I remember correctly I think it got here in less than 2 weeks... may have only been 10 days. They look real to me, but no I didn't do anything extensive to test authenticity. I'm pretty sure other forum members have verified Nkon sending legit cells. I built a 17.5AH pack out of them (14S 5P)...

Nope I didn't get charged any duties. I live in the US. I actually just placed my second order with Nkon a month ago and everything went flawlessly, I ordered 60 of the Sanyo GA's. I did have FedEx call me when the package got to the US asking what it was because the label didn't say and they...

I believe it was right under $20 for shipping. I ordered 36 cells which was the most I could get without the shipping bumping up to a higher amount for a heavier parcel. I just clicked through the website and you are right, no shipping options for the USA. What a shame, these sanyo 18650GA cells...

I forgot to update this after my order came in! If memory serves I believe my order showed up in less than 2 weeks. It was packaged VERY well. All the cells I've tested are perfect. I would definately buy from Nkon again. To the poster above, are you saying Nkon just stopped shipping to the...

Well I just pulled the trigger on the 80 watt Weller with the big tip ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/300963555321 ). I will use it primarily for soldering batteries. At some point I will probably buy a more common 40 or 60 watt soldering pen or station for general soldering. I will have my iron in a...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! What do you think of this 80 Watt Weller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3SG796/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687622&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00018AR3Q&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0F89NXGP4VXTQ63ZBB59

Well, I just took the plunge and ordered about $200 worth of cells. I hope they arrive safely to my doorstep, wish me luck! :D Also, if LunaCycles had the 3500MAH Sanyo GA cells I probably would of ordered from him, based on his great reputation and being in the US.

Hey Offroader, I was thinking about making some heated clothing myself... Where did you buy your carbon tape from? I have been looking for a less expensive source than carbonheater.us however so far that is the only place I can find to buy the stuff! Cheers! :D

So I am in the market for a good soldering iron. In the near future I will be using it to solder bare 18650's. From what I have read I am looking for a higher powered iron (maybe 80 watt?) with a large tip so I don't have to hold it on the cell for very long to get the job done. I am aware of...

That's good to hear! When you made your purchase from NKON did it seem to be the cheapest price you could find on batteries? In other words are there any other sellers of quality 3500MAH 10A cells for $5.00/ea or less that I should be looking at? :D Thanks!

I am about to order 36 Sanyo NCR18650GA's from NKON.nl (http://ru.nkon.nl/sanyo-18650ga.html). From what I have read it seems that most people agree that this is the best of the new 3500MAH cells. With shipping factored in I will be paying about $5/cell which I think is pretty good, if you know...

That is awesome!!! At only 11 pounds That would be amazing to mount on a rear rack! I'd even accept it being alot louder in exchange for the weight savings... I tried to look at the page with google translate but it didn't do much good. Any idea how someone living in the US would acquire one of...

I understand it will not be nearly as efficient as having a gas engine directly powering a wheel, what I like is the fact that I have an ebike which I can ride constantly around town with just batteries, but if I want to go on a trip that is hundreds of miles - possibly over the span of several...

So after an extensive search of the forum I don't think anyone has mentioned this generator... http://www.amazon.com/Powerhouse-60370-Inverter-Generator-Compliant/dp/B004RCVRWW From my research online it appears to be the smallest ready to use modern gas generator available. At only 21 pounds I...
