Hello. I'm using a buck converter to take my 72v pack to 12v. Shipped it has a jumper on the ACC keeping it always on. Will a 12v switch handle that ok?

Hello, I'm building a stretch beach cruiser e bike, and have run into an issue with the chain. Using a 5kw QS motor with single gear, the chain rubs on the stock fender, and the tire. Should I just change the single gear cassette? With what? Or use a spacer?

How do you power it up with the LCD disconnected?

Greetings Everyone. Currently finishing up my new build, and while doing some bench testing before final fit and wiring I ran into some things that concern me. After disconnecting the battery and re connecting the display showing remaining battery will drop by 10% overall took the pack from...

Greetings everyone, Working on my newest build and have some questions on the 100A MQ sine wave programmable controller. Can I use a 12v signal for the ignition switch? If not, any thoughts on a work around. Already build a 4 channel RF receiver for lights and stuff. Was hoping it could...

Hello everyone! Been on the hunt for a new frame for my 2WD 3K watt build. And came to the conclusion if I am going to spend $1k on a good mountain bike, why not just put that money into supplies to build one that I can customize to accommodate everything that will go on it. But I have lots of...

Not sure yet if its NO or NC, and have a extra set of break levers. Will probably just not have it connected to the controller. This is the light, there will be two mounted on the rear seat stays.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GJGCR9U/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My understanding is level 5 and 9 have the same max draw ( throttle only, no zero start ), just broke up differently ( I could be wrong on this ). Talked with the supplier of the motor today and he didn't have a solid explanation. What I did not mention is that the new battery followed the...

Yes, it has two wires comming out ( only know because the break lever broke, but was able to dissect it) It will be connected to a 12v led light powered by. DC stepdown from the pack. The light is wired for left/right turn, high beam for break light and normal. I have not checked into the...

Hello guys hope everyone healthy! A year ago I put together a 1500W DD rear build. Was always suspicious of why my battery drained so fast. Using a 48V 17.5ah pack that I would loose about a 1 volt per mile (assumed it was due to me using the throttle allot) Just revived and started testing a...

How would I go about wiring in a break light into my current handle? Is it as simple as splicing a wire that is already going to the controller? Also, Thank you everyone for your input. Even if its not the best option or what I choose in the end this will teach me allot! Cheers

Opening my new packs and replacing the BMS makes me cringe.. But with my skill/experience level could probably do it, would need some guidance.

Yes, ATM they are "generic" ish controllers. That up grade also comes with changing out all wiring connections to motor/throttle/breaks ect, and not sure im willing to do that ATM, however will be considering it. Have one controller already, ill be taking it apart to find that jumper wire...

I suppose I do not 'need' to disconnect the battery. But wanted a key option for theft and convenience, as well as the aesthetically satisfying manner of a key switch that would allow power to battery disconnect switch and DC-DC, and then lighted led switch's for all the other stuff. I've...

Thanks will look into it
