Wow, someone did a bad job planning for cost and battery size, but it is the vendors fault. Even though all of this info is provided before hand. The foam issue was discussed and explained in this thread. Seems fine to me, so far folks seem to view easy cell replacement as a feature, not a...

While waiting for stuff to arrive, I designed a couple of alignment pins and blocks for the 18650 size holders. Fits vented or closed style. Files available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4378125

I have an ebike that needs a new battery. I have a 3d printer. I have been wanting to make a round cell pack vs. pouch. Sooooo, I just placed an order for hardware. Plan is for a simple 12s8p 18650 pack. It will be replacing a 2x6s 16000mah HK lipo pack. The NESE pack will be split into two...

Wow, this is impressive work. My wife manages several raised bed gardens for low-income housing communities. She formally ran the medicinal herb garden and has been the greenhouse manager (along with 1000 other jobs) at our local botanical gardens. Everything she does is volunteer work and I...

Hey bowlofsalad, I didn't mean off topic in a literal sense, just most non sequitur in the general selection of topics one might expound on. I actually care a great deal about roof ventilation! Your comments about more insulation as solution to humidity problems are spot on. I have a rental...

Justin your issue with cutting Kevlar with scissors is oddly enough, because they are sharp and have a smooth edge. You can make awesome Kevlar shears with cheap scissors by lightly pressing both the cutting edges into a disc sander or grinder as of you were trying to blunt the edge. This...

This is officially the most off topic post ever. I don't mean this in a bad way. I would feel the same about a roof ventilation post anywhere. I want to give you some kind of award for it. :lol:

Just love that EV grin! Low on the 3-spd switch is 25mph(40kph), Med is 35mph(56kph), and High is 42mph(67 kph)! Nice and torquey too! I don't know the amp draw, my CA was not reading it. I have the ESC programmed for 35-40 amps. Gonna have to get it worked out so I will know what is actually...

I just want to put this here as proof that I actually did get this together before I died. Not finished up, but wired up enough that I could test it on the bench today, but have not been on the road yet. More later, hopefully not two years later.

Just sayin'. :D

Hi, I own a jewelry store and will give you my two cent. First, the "timeless" tradition of diamond rings is actually a very new thing. It was a concept invented to sell diamonds. The two months salary thing is also a load of crap. It was a way to make you feel guilty for not spending...

Seriously? I go to load batteries in my bags and four of them are puffed and 0 volts. New batteries, nothing miswired as they were not connected at the power leads, only immediate suspect is the LVC balance boards (also new). FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUdge. #moredelays

Finally finished the little frame parts to hold the battery bags. I also found some black 1" plastic caps at Lowe's to plug the rear xtracycle holes.

The caps on the end of the Kickback unscrew and you can use the bolt to mount stuff.

I got the Kickback stand and I ordered a set of the LT Footsies because, well...I thought they might be better than my homemade ones. The Kickback is 100% worth it. The LT Footsies are great as well, but I like mine mo' betta. 8)
