No. That is just gooey foam tape they used during manufacture.

I know how life can be. 4 back surgeries, 1 fusion. 1 stroke and surgery on my lung . Haha. Last couple years been "ok" . I have only ridden one reverse trike. Been putting together full suss ebikes, then got a fat bike. Himiway Cruiser. Big cloud 9 seats and raised bars on all.

I wonder if the handling improved after moving the battery between your legs. Did you ever put the 5t motor on. I am with you though. 30 mph is plenty.

"only need one relay, if it is a DPDT (remember the single DPDT switch controls everything by itself). Then you only need an SPST switch (that only has to handle the coil current) to turn the relay on for reverse, or leave it off for forward. Wire the relay the same way you'd wire the DPDT...

I am going to Grainger today and pu a better switch. I figured I would need 4 relays since this switch powers 2 circuits at once. 2 for forward and 2 for reverse. Pretty sure my lifepo should be fine this buggy has a 10 a circuit breaker already.

Also I picked up this. I could come up a variable load and see what amps the bms tripps

I opened the others I got , they are cube instead of flat.

Thanks AW. I am going to use the lifepo4 batteries I posted. Not sure the amps on the bms.

Hi all. Working on sprucing up a power wheel for the next grandbabies in line. It had lead acid now I am going to use a lifepo4 I have. I am going to fab a steel enclosure for it. The old setup use to melt the switches for fwd rev and hi low . I used the plastic 6 pin on-on switches it...

It is only 250 w so it won't take much to power. My other option is to get another 12v lifepo4 . I have 2 now. Then buy a bms and wire it. Which I have never done.🙄 I can get another for 45 dollars, maybe less. They are used and 20 ah.

I liked the warranty and the US warehouse. But, no idea of what cells or bms used. Em3ev is great. I have 2 of their batteries. About double the price but worth it.. I am trying to get this old bike going on the cheap. Not easy or recommended way to go. Really seeing if someone has...

I have been searching for a small 36 v batt for my iride bike. It is only rated 250w It shouldn't need a big battery. Any reviews for BTRPower? Or other vendors you have used.

Still tinkering when I have time. No battery yet. Rt side crank was loose. Has rt hand threads. Going to have to watch that. Discovered it has a cadence sensor. Figured why the front v brake would loosen when applied . The ferrule on the metal 90 degree tube would slip. Small crimp...

Thanks AW

Would this a good bms for me?
