    Cold weather riding gear

    Subsidized heat Put that bike battery to work heating you while wearing electric heated motorcycle clothing. Chapparell Motor Sports sells electric heated tops, boots, bottoms and gloves. Many other dealers out there. One adjustment needed: electric clothing may say 12v DC. I have put 88v...

    ISIS BB Spindle 177mm

    HI pwd, No, I did not use that GEN3 [nominal spindle] spindle as it’s size (other than it’s length) has some OD’s that are too large for the standard Isis bearings to slide over into the places my BB shell zone would occupy. I thought about and have the tools to grind the heat treated Gen 3...

    Controller getting really hot…

    If the motor’s Hall transistors are down low and subject to water and severe dampness/wetting, the controller and motor will run warm to hot with the motor chattering and not producing much power. To fix, remove the opposite motor side cover from the output shaft, the drain water, leave cover...

    Fardriver controller problem

    When I have gotten a new Fardriver controller and want to test it for proper phase and Hall connections or do self learn, there need only be 5 groups of wires connected to the controller. 1. The battery + and - power cables and a small lead to power + to the “on”/ignition wire 2. The motors...

    Fardriver controller problem

    Not exactly? You likely get some sort of shaft rotation or shaft jiggling upon throttling before you would expect to perform a self learn. Using an iPhone? I do. The cell is maybe a year old. But try an android? Plenty of them around. Maybe download/replace/new/updated software for the...

    Fardriver controller problem

    Did you Give the throttle a twist ? Do you have a motor temperature transducer configured? If you do enter the type and if you do not have one select the appropriate choice under TempSensor: 0-NONE Be sure to save this.

    Fardriver controller problem

    Albie72, For that beep sequence 7.1.3 applies. The Self-learning phase. I have done the self-learning phase either with the powered wheel suspended or riding the ebike around. After a short time the wheel stops spinning. I do the save routine after it stops spinning— but is it necessary...

    Fardriver controller problem

    Has the thread poster said how many close together beeps he is getting? One? Within the Fardriver Control Manual (get from fardriver.com) is a chart telling what failure /problem corresponds to a certain number of beeps made when there is a working controller.

    What's a good Hall effect throttle?

    JRP3, The link you have posted is the Dun store and my suggested throttle is not in their sales list. Chiang James of Dun has done resourcing for me to find the throttle I have suggested when I could no longer find it on eBay. You may have to get his help for purchasing the throttle I have...

    What's a good Hall effect throttle?

    JRP3, You will get a better deal by skipping Alibabi and going thru Chiang James. Pay with PayPal. The split throttles hold up better on edirtbikes because the end force from a tip over [handle bar end smashed into ground]is not transmitted to the Hall Ring.

    What's a good Hall effect throttle?

    On my edirtbikes I get plenty of life with this throttle from Dun Electric Store in Malaysia. About $24. Contact at Dun was James Chiang at dun-electric@hotmail.com Brush guards will extend throttle life considerably on an edirtbike. Cycra is top line but you may need additional...

    Dont use QS motors, they do not honor their warranty

    Richj8990, To believe that we here in a modern country [USA] get ethical deals and honored warranties is self deception. Amazon/google will overwhelm you with parts/items that are not the exact item you searched for by specifics — then they provide few details and not much or little access to...

    Dont use QS motors, they do not honor their warranty

    The Best of Service from QS motors [this post does not address the OP statement of warranty response of Siaecosys but offers an example to show other qualities of their service]. While mounting a QS1000 motor, I used some standard size bolts on one side of the motor mount that were not...

    I'm sick of Sabvotons and want to switch to Fardriver. Looking for opinions.

    I am currently running Fardriver controllers ND96530, ND72530 and ND72350 on Edirtbikes. You program them with an iPhone. I have had two Sabvoton controllers and they were short lived — Never Again. 2 out 3 Votols are in the grave yard but they did outlast the Sabvotons. Both the Votols...

    LifePO4 charging with unfiltered DC

    batteryGOLD, I like your 2 schematics for the conversion of 3 phase DC to 2 line DC. You suggest “less components” for the bridge method [8 diodes] but the sorting method employed on each phase wire would take only 6 diodes. Therefore the bridge method takes more components than the sorting...

    Ebike Hydraulic Disc Brake Choices

    Degull, Here are 2 pic of home made brake switches. The screws are 2mm. A 2mm threaded hole was made in the brakes handle to hold a bolt of sufficient height to touch the micro switch lever. On this Hayes brake body the micro switch was held in place with super mount tape. On this Shimano...

    Ebike Hydraulic Disc Brake Choices

    Chalo, Your comparison to helmets leads to neglectful thinking. The thinking here in the US is kind of like it is fine for an individual to do the stupid things as he wishes as long as the accidents he creates do not hurt others. Poor brakes can hurt others.

    Ebike Hydraulic Disc Brake Choices

    Chalo says, ‘They can cut power when you don't want them to. That's a negative.” Simple solution: disconnect the ebrake wire when you do not want losing power.

    Ebike Hydraulic Disc Brake Choices

    Degull, If you are looking to find a cheaper solution for cutoffs do something similar to what I did — keep your existing brake handles. Add to handlebar mount part of the brake lever unit a SPST lever micro switch with wires going to ebrake controller wire set. You will also need to add a...

    ISIS BB Spindle 177mm

    Thanks A-DamW, SickBikeParts has the eBay seller’s name of brook45izy. They do have 2 sizes of Isis spindles for sale measuring 148mm & 153 mm. The price is good but they are too short for my motor width. Thanks for the suggestion.
