    My Electric Push Trailer

    In an ealier thread I said I'd document the push trailer I've built, and this is it. :) I wanted a push trailer as it is moveable between bikes and easily disconnectable. Its main purpose is to assist in commuting to work, a 24km trip each way (48km per day). I got inspiration for my design...

    BMS - is one really needed?

    Hi, I'm looking at Headway cells and are considering building a 36V 10Ahr pack just by stringing 11 of them in series. For a simple one-string pack like this, is a BMS really needed?

    What type of motor did I buy?

    I'm new here an have begun my journey into e bikes in an unusual way (for me anyway) - buying something when I don't know what it is! I've picked up this new rear wheel with hub motor cheap. However, I don't know what sort it is (brushed, brushless etc) and what controller will work with it...
