    Calculating/estimating top speed

    Hi I'm thinking about buying a bike with a Bofeili crank drive and a 36V 8,8 Ah battery (bottle with samsung cells).

    Tire pressure! At what psi are you cruising?

    I've had a flat recently ... I had myself to blame because I did not put any rim tape on my rims to protect the tube. Today I fixed my flat and put some rim tape on my rim. When inflating my tire I was wondering what the best PSI is to have a smooth and efficient ride. I saw that my tire can...

    Bike lights running on battery

    I made my bike lights run on my ping battery. I put a lyen voltage converter in paralel with my battery to go from 48V to 10V. It was working, my lights shined but it was only for 60 seconds, then they died and I couldn't manage to bring them to life again. Now I'm wondering what could have...

    Fiberglass battery case

    A new update (1/05/2011) see first post. Guys, I need to find a solution for the places where I sanded into the cloth, I think this will be visible when I paint it like it is now. Any ideas? Maybe I'll do some filler on it but then my box will not be straight anymore, there will be a little...

    Wire diagram

    I want the fan to be on all the time, the on off switch is meant for the light only. I thought if I put them in parralel this would work, how should I wire it then?

    Wire diagram

    Thanks a lot for your adivce, I've been looking into it and I believe this is how the diagram should look like with the resistor. I'm wondering, will the little on/off switch before the resistor not be affected by some sort of spark? I've calculated that I will need a 400 ohms 2 watts resistor...

    Wire diagram

    For my build I've figured out the wire diagram below, I'm an electrical newbie so I'm not sure if this will work / will not short my battery... If you guys could give me your feedback, that would be great. The battery kill switch is meant to switch of the whole system, the on/off switch is...

    Fiberglass battery case

    I'm not sure how much it weighs but its very light I can tell you that. I will weigh it next time I have time to work on it and will let you know. I think your wooden box will be heavier but I do like the fact that wood is a natural material and my box really isn't environmental friendly. I...
