    My Crosstrail Disc build

    Another update that I think a few were still questioning, the Q100H from BMS battery seems to include a speed sensor now. Before it seems as if people were saying speed would only show up with throttle, I am getting a speed readout with pedaling only, also it'll show the 1-2mph when I am walking...

    Mounting a li-ion frame battery upside down

    Looks like when the suspension is fully compressed, the wheel might hit the battery. I'd get the measurements beforehand, good luck!

    My Crosstrail Disc build

    After the first ride, I am in love! It'll easily do 26mph throttle only, and I hit 30mph with peddaling. It is kinda scary on the road with a car in front of you that can stop a lot faster than you, I skid to a stop a few feet from running into the back of a car at a stop light.

    My Crosstrail Disc build

    At long last I am finished, it took a while to get 2 c washers shipped in after I realized I didn't have any. I have yet to ride it as it has been monsooning in oklahoma over the past week.

    Disc brake mounting problem q100h

    Think any damage was done by screwing the long ones in all the way? Required a decent amount of force to get them to screw in, and now looking through the disc mount holes on the motor I can see 6 holes that I probably caused.

    Disc brake mounting problem q100h

    None came with the motor from what I could tell, I was just using the stock ones from my old wheel. I ordered the motor from BMS battery, do they normally ship them?

    Disc brake mounting problem q100h

    So I tried to mount my stock disc brake onto my new q100h, and after screwing the 6 bolts in, the motor wont move. I take if off, and it works perfectly. Is it possible that the stock screws are too long and are digging in too far into the hub motor and causing it to not move? Anyone else have...

    My Crosstrail Disc build

    Okay, so for this thread i'll document my build progress and experience with BMS Battery. So I know I just bought a plug and play kit and it won't be anything special, probably has been done at least a couple other times but maybe it will help someone. :P First off the bike I chose is the 2015...

    1st Timer Build Advice- Flat bar fast commuter for midwest

    I'm sure someone will probably post it, but a mac motor with a triangle battery in bag looks like it will fit your bill really well. http://em3ev.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=45&product_id=185 Someone else can specify which battery to pick, but it'll easily fit your budget...

    Reduction ratio, front hub motor

    This is actually just what I wanted to hear, I have been debating on getting the 201 vs 260 wind q100h, and I think I have decided on the 260. I live in one of the flattest states in the US, weigh 150lbs (68kg), final bike weight will be around 42lbs (19kg). I am going to put the 260 hub in a...

    First Ebike advice

    So with 700c wheel would it be pushing 25mph? Also would there be no torque for hills with that 260 wind in a 700c wheel? 36V should be good for his 20mph speed and 20 mile range then?

    First Ebike advice

    Also check out these 2 threads with similar bikes, one used a hybrid diamondback and lives in California, the other used the same bike you have. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66969 http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=58335 Edit* Looks like the second...

    First Ebike advice

    I am actually about to buy that exact same bike but with disc brakes. I am planning on using BMS battery for mine, but as I have not done it yet and have no experience, so I would take my advice with a grain of salt. This is just from recommendations from other members...

    New E-bike Rider questions after initial 7 mile ride...

    Do you have an update for 2015? I am really considering buying the same set up as you did, but I'm debating whether to spend the extra $100 for the panasonic bottle battery. The extra ~2.6 miles range doesn't seem worth it, and unless there is a huge difference in something i'm not thinking...

    New build questions

    Okay, just to double check, if I order this motor linked and the battery from BMSB, I won't need anything else besides torque arm? As far as I can tell the battery has a controller built in, and it comes with the LCD, throttle, and all wiring I would need to connect everything...
