    Hi-power cycles Anyone have experience with them

    I've had one of their more powerful bikes for a couple of years now. You can see my posts on it around here somewhere. It's had some problems but once we got the kinks ironed out, I've enjoyed owning it and riding it. High powered Electric Bikes are complicated and problematic by their very...

    Having Some Problems with My Falco 500 Watt Kit...

    You also will need to download the software and have a Windows capable machine available. I ended up having to load Windows on my Mac with Parallels. The easiest thing is to call Falco and they'll walk you through it.

    I ended up buying a 5000 watt turn key bike from them since I posted previously. This is my second Summer riding it and it's been great.

    What Brand/Model Tires do you use on your Electric Bike?

    Lots of great suggestions here and many I wasn't previously aware of. I've decided to go with 2.15 Schwalbe Big Bens for my next set. I think they are the best compromise for my riding style. Thank you all for the advice, it is much appreciated and I hope some other folks found the thread useful...

    Thoughts on the differences between the Big Apple and the Big Ben? Its one of Schwalbe's "e-bike Rated Tires. Is it a bit more robust? Schwalbe e-bike rated Tires: http://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/e-bikes

    What Brand/Model Tires do you use on your Electric Bike?

    Hey Guys. Looking for a recommendation for new Tires for my Electric Bike and I'm curious what you guys are using. My rims are 26" and it's a full suspension Mtn. Bike Frame. I've been using Kenda Slant Sixes, but I really don't need a Knobbie (I ride mostly street) and they are wearing out...

    What's Better? Use up more Ah's or Charge more often?

    I think I could do it with Voltage. I know about what Voltage my pack will be at with about 80% charge and I do recall them saying it was okay not to charge the pack fully every time. How often should one balance the Pack?

    What's the current maximum speed for electrical pedal bike?

    Schlumpf drive for the win. They'll pedal up to 50 mph.

    Fixing a flat on a hub motor is easier than you think

    Now if we can figure out a way to change the TIRE without removing the rim we'll really have something good. ;)

    What's Better? Use up more Ah's or Charge more often?

    It's technically an 86V battery as I understand it. The old ones had a split pak with 12 in each (24 total), and a double charger. The single Paks are 4 less volts and one less cell (23 total), but are supposedly more reliable with the single BMS and a single Charger.

    As far as I know, they're using Samsung. 23 cells in series. Yeah, pricey as all hell.

    Sure: http://www.hi-powercycles.com/new-hpc-elite-90v-13ah-li-nmc-ultra-high-performance-battery/ It uses Samsung Cells as far as I know. The link has the full specs. The Charger says 96.6V but It tops out at 96V and they told me it was within spec.

    I did mention it, but it got kind of buried. The Pack is 96.6V at full charge but the Charger typically tops out around 96V or so.

    I like the idea of that. Do you have a link to the specific charger? I'd like to check it out.

    Yep. It's a Prebuilt. Came with a BMS, and it's own Charger. They told me it would balance the pack at the end of the charging cycle.
