    Ebike with Lyen 18fet controller & HS3540 motor. Needs TLC.

    Any interest? I thought it would have gone quickly at $500! Lots of great parts there to use on another built or even rebuild this. The charger alone has over $300 worth of PSU's. Controller, motor and cycle analysis work as they should. Feel free to come and take a look!

    Ebike with Lyen 18fet controller & HS3540 motor. Needs TLC.

    $500 ONO including charger, helmet and armour. Pickup Parkinson, QLD 4115 Hi guys, I loved this beast and enjoyed using it while at uni however, it has sat unused since around 2013 and I think it beyond time to let it go. Here is a post I made explaining most of the build...

    Micro Chargers - Kids Toy

    True, but the motor shaft just contacts the front tire. It slips as it is so I highly doubt you could go much bigger diameter wheels without changing the motor too. IMO the wheel size is about perfect for the tracks, speed and run time. They are pretty zippy already.... I sort of answered my...

    Micro Chargers - Kids Toy

    Hey guys, Reviving this old thread as I've just purchased some of these for my son (not for dad at all.... I swear! :P) No problems so far but we are considering a few more sets/expansions to extend the track and some of the online reviews particularly on the FB page have me a little worried...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    yeah Im sure i have seen a few post with people running mesh, but i think the overall consensus is it limits the airflow. My holes are 18mm. will need a stronger drill if i want to go bigger. :D Edit: for others interested, this thread has some great info on cooling using fans, fins, and also...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    Hahaha very true. Personally im a newb in the experimental stage, still trying a bit of everything to gain my own opinions & experiences. The lessons learned on this motor will hopefully help me when the 5404 arrives. :twisted: Also the summer heat over here probably does make extra cooling...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    180!!?! Like a king!! I to was skeptical about dirt and rocks getting in the holes skippic, but after doing some heavy off roading/power sliding and thread reading i'm not worried at all. It is possible, but extremely unlikely. snowchyld, i havent opened my hs35 again yet, but i opened and...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    yeah I already dremeled it out a little when I did my wiring. I really dont expect it to work, the biggest problem will be getting a corner piece in or finding a way to get around the 90 degree turn where the wires exit the axle. All im going to do is see if it will fit, if so, ill hook up a...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    So ive been thinking over the cooling options and I think im going to experiment with water cooling 1st. I have some very stiff 6mm OD tube i will try squeeze in and go from there. I get it in a 5mm hole for an aquarium co2 setup so thats about the size of 1 10awg... i think. If that doesnt work...

    Nice Arlo I found plenty of other posts with the fan idea and think ill definitely give it a go. Do you happen to have the hole dimensions still arlo? Cant be bothered opening up for that right now lol. I assume you used 40mm fans yeah? Also thought id ask here being hs is a high speed motor...

    Toms first ebike....

    Ran the tests stock vs mod medics again here are the results.... To start I balanced all the packs together on 1 medic to 4.06 4.06 4.06 4.05 4.05 4.05 Also results are taken from the same medic so they are more comparable. Each pack was 6s2p of 6s zippy 5000mah cells. After 1 hour 40mins...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    Thanks for the 'safe' heat explanation Methods and John. So basically the windings can take a little abuse and I shouldn't worry to much about a weak winding smell at around 90-100c, but more about what spikes I am getting. I'm running 18s lipo, lyen 18fet set to 60/150a 2.5 block 85% max...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    I'm also curious to what the safe max temp of this motor would be. I hit 100c pretty easily and seem to loose a bit of power if i get to 110c+ so I assume the limit is close to here. I see drbass has his alarm set for 142c on an x5 in his ebike to the future vid, but can't find much for this...

    ebike project by biker-ouf

    Yeah im with philistine. I also run a hs3540 on 18s 60/150 amps. It draws around 4000w up steep hills with no pedaling but on flat stays around 2000w. I have cooling holes but at these settings the motor winding still hit 100c + and i can smell the windings. but then then we have had warm...

    Toms first ebike....

    Well test one of stock battery medics vs mod medics = FAIL :( Somehow the stock overheated, dunno if its a bad one or what, its never happened to me before, but i came to check after an hour and 14mins and stock was almost to hot to touch with a slight smell of burnt plastic and every digit on...

    Toms first ebike....

    Bloody uni assignments, needed a min away so thought id come write :-) Hey Mike, yes you can fit it under a jacket, well I can just. So hot right now not sure how im going to wear it when I fix mine. Maybe as a shirt? lol Cooling holes.... I majorly screwed mine up when I enlarged them. Got...

    Toms first ebike....

    yeah I cant seem to find my results on it all but ill test again over the next few days and report back. My replacement will hopefully be here this week so might even wait for that and do a comparison v stock again. :-)

    Thanks snowychyld :-) I have one of Gary Gooddrums charge control boards for the meanwells which has a hvc function. Gary helped me with the circuit on the cell log section here... http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=29458 Fletcher helped a little with the fans for the...

    Toms first ebike....

    Thanks guys :-) Choosing the components was a serious mission, but i think the hours of research that went into it turned out alright. The only thing I really cheaped out on was the drive train. And now I know more I think a stronger shock would have been a good choice, but so far the reba is...

    E-Patriot

    Looks really really good mate. Pretty much puts my 1st build to shame :-( haha. Dunno if you worked out your amp settings yet, but phase amps should be about 2.3-2.6x the battery amps... So if your trying for 40 battery try about 90-95 phase and you may have better results. Personally on my...

    Toms first ebike....

    Well it took me just over a year, but i finally have a working ebike. I decided to start from scratch so i could learn all i needed to about bike parts and servicing at the same time. I could NOT have done this without the forum. I test rode a 250w bike over a year ago now, got home and went...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Before.... After..... Seeing I didn't know much about bikes I decided to build one part by part so when it came to servicing i would know what to do. There 18s2p lipo stuffed into the battery box, and the motor is the hs3540 although i really wish i went the HT instead. Since the 'after'...

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    I have drilled cooling holes and changed the phase to 10awg outside the axle so should be ok. Will test it out further over the weekend on some steep hills to really push the thing. :D

    New Crystalyte Motor series (HT35 / HS35 and HT24 / HS24)

    Well I had my first ride, and wow!!! The HS35 is very fast. Unfortunately I didn't reset the CA stats before I left so i'm not sure of my true top speed or other stats but when i had the nads for a glance I was just over 60km/h with plenty left. Top speed I got from my 9c 8x8 with the same...
