    Kepler Bottom Bracket Friction Drive For Sale (Finally)

    I sent a PM to Kepler xuriouasking whether the FOC VESC he had tested/repaired long time ago was what has made it to the kit. I received notice of a reply from Kepler, but no access/record of it, also ES site down at the time. I cleared out all PM folders for a fresh start in a ticipation.

    New Build with EGO 56V Home Depot Battery - Wow

    Charlie that frame space looks ripe for a BB apex vertical drop-in battery case and spring lock top of the battery like the lawnmower has. The vertical railed box is probably a shape that could be crafted with thin plywood. A manual wood block latch for the lock until evolving to a spring load...

    Mini velo

    Thought I'd plant a seed in the hope of seeing some extreme mini-velo project from Doctorbass in or back to the future. John-in-CR has already done a very good job demonstrating the benefits of small wheel natural short gearing with hub motors. Smaller wheels have acceleration and braking...

    Turnigy Multistar - lightweight 10C cells

    Echo Silviasol, for any other lipo consumer device it's a convenient habit as well. Partial discharge storage from last use, charge less than full before next use. Unfortunately even notebook power management doesn't have battery preservation profiles, so little hope of smaller devices having it.

    Turnigy Multistar - lightweight 10C cells

    What cell voltage for storage? I'd go further for the moral of the story, don't buy full pack quantities of cells until your project is complete and waiting for long range, use a small test size pack during the build. Many parts on 2nd hand markets for anything are new for projects that didn't...

    Turnigy Multistar - lightweight 10C cells

    These packs fit nicely into a modified food container for physical protection, snugly strapped into a frame bag. They've got a very easy life operating from 85% charge to 60% discharge left between rides and charged again, and I've got a second pair and second container for duty/standby that...

    Show Us Your Homemade Battery Housing

    Bikepacking is normalising frame bags so it's hard to tell the difference at a glance. Using this at legal assist limit for longer range to see a little farther without battery overload, to get beyond usual pedal-only range and keep the pedal-only ride/reward feeling of recreational riding with...

    Inside a BBSHD New install

    I got my replacement pedal freewheel from Lunacycle, and I added a BB spacer kit while paying the freight, as I used a regular BB spacer to install the motor, the variety of sizes are nice in the spares. Lesson learnt with the assembly freewheel pawls, the mistake has added 10% to my motor...

    Inside a BBSHD New install

    Thanks sather, I need some of those. I've had Luna's new 30T chain wheel in mind as well, so will see what else is useful but with Rohloff XL the stock chain line is almost perfect. Considering I haven't even turned a wheel in anger and already broken it, I'll consider it a lesson worth learning...

    Inside a BBSHD New install

    Anyone familiar with freewheel pawls and whether these ones on the drive side pedal axle freewheel can be replaced with something common with ordinary bicycles? I've got one pawl functioning, two broken from my earlier failed assembly that has torqued up on two of the pawls and split them :( May...

    Programming the Bafang Middrive BBS01+BBS02

    Quick note recommending the Panoff software build and help file, in combination with Karl's compiled blog page. Got me started quickly after a few other initial issues, it detects the com ports available, I had an issue with Device Manager not showing the Ports (COM and LPT) along with incorrect...

    Inside a BBSHD New install

    Thanks, makes sense. For future anyone like me: No, you can't take only the drive side cover off and bolt it straight back on (edit, unless you're lucky and have a svelt touch). See above instruction ;)

    Inside a BBSHD New install

    I removed the drive side cover, 6 bolts. Now I can't get it back on. Axle has stayed in, bike was on its left side lying on crank/pedal, me kneeling working over top of right side, so only lifted the cover off (didn't come off easy either). I've tried many times again with the bike standing up...

    Inside a BBSHD New install

    Thanks again for this thread Tom. I removed the drive side cover by hand, it had resistance but popped out. The black moly grease on the secondary reduction plentiful on this new/unused BBSHD, can see the other grease referenced from what's visible. Now I'm seeking any tips for refitting the...

    Bafang BBS-HD cabling ??

    I have those extra cables also, have installed a BBS02 without them so didn't know their purpose, and like others ended up here here wondering what they were. I've just been routing the cables and deciding on protective conduit and grouping, handy to know thanks for the info. The switchable...

    BBSHD fault

    Just wondering if you noticed any axle float from left to right side when installing? I've got a new 100mm axle unit installed, yet to power it up, noticed an approximate 2mm axle float/slide if cranks are pushed/pulled from either side. I have discussed it with the supplier who will back the...

    My 14kw controller has landed :)

    Santa will be finished early twiddling thumbs with that kind of power :D What are you using to wrap/cushion your packs with inside the aluminium housings? I've got an OEM legal ebike battery that has a nice rubbery/gel feeling that looks longer lasting than common foam that crumbles with age...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Someone posted that back-pedal to cut power tip early on, I was very grateful. Cuts the power instantly (or as instantly as needed for human gear change and resuming forward pedalling). I've got an Alfine 8 Bosch Performance Line bike now and thought it funny for this OEM to have not dealt with...

    Bewo, New Crank-drive Motor

    Hi Kiriakos, on the large 24V 21W headlight you have, can you tell me make/model to look up specifications (e.g. weight) and any tips about it? I was guessing it may be a truck 24V headlight if not modified with different globe?

    My 14kw controller has landed :)

    Thanks for the reply, with Android it is Play Store, but no hits for Yuyangking. Apps can be alone off play store to download on Android, if you have the link... ;) Did you just apply power and the Bluetooth is on by default as long as there is power? Just wondering how the single Power Switch...

    My 14kw controller has landed :)

    Can anyone give me a link to the app for the Yuyangking controller? Any getting started tips for power-on (does power switch wire need to be used?) would be greatly appreciated too, I don't have any info and haven't had any luck searching. I've got a MXUS motor and this controller from Sam also...

    Grizzl-E's build thread

    Wow am building something similar, same batteries I think the 6S2P 16Ah turnigy. I was wondering whether 48V 40A would be enough to power wheelspin in sandy beach, am guessing not :( I have 72V 35A controller for more wheel speed I was going to try first... but looks like time to stop starting...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    On a 73mm BB shell I couldn't fit the black locknut. I was able to tighten the grey lock nut with a C clamp with extension tube for extra torque while pushing the tool onto the washer for max engagement. It is meant to bite into the BB shell face. Before the above I used a pair of 7.4mm 85MPa...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Agreed I had a similar experience, but my needs are paths not roads, so less speed more pedalling is preferred. My 8T front MAC/rear Alfine8 steel road frame with Thudbuster LT and 25Ah Em3ev frame battery was the fastest longest range best handling nicest to pedal commuter I'd ridden yet. Then...
