    Darn, I have just broken the axle in the motor! Does anyone know how to source a spare axle for the BPM motors? In Melbourne?

    Best place to buy Headway 38120L flat tab battery?

    Help! I am in trouble - I have just built a new 16S battery out of 38120L (Flat Tab) Headway cells - but one of them is not happy, and I need to replace it. I am finding it very difficult to find somewhere that will sell me 1x 38120L Headway cell and ship it to Australia at a reasonable price...

    dodgey Cell in new Headway 16s 38120?

    Thanks Amberwolf - I sort of checked them, and they seemed ok. Perhaps I should have checked them better - live and learn I guess. I do not have a single cell charger - so that's going to be difficult. I have left it on charge for a while now, several days at least, and I'm not convinced that...

    dodgey Cell in new Headway 16s 38120?

    Hi - I have just finished building a new battery using 16S Headway 38120 flat-tab cells for my first build commuter https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=39940. Bought the Cells from EVAssemble (http://www.evassemble.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=19)...

    Weird BMS issue/problem

    I have just built a 16S 10A battery pack with Headway 38210 cells. I have put this BMS on it: http://www.evassemble.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=211 Now, when I wire up the whole battery, and plug in the BMS, I get a red light in the BMS itself (see photo). But...

    Kabbage eBMX#1

    UPDATE: It Lives! Yay. I finally had a chance to swap out some bits and see what the problem was - turns out it is the controller not working, so I'll have to send it back to BMoore and see if he can make it work. In the meantime, I have got a new controller from Grin in Canada, and with a...

    Kabbage eBMX#1

    Well here it is all put together.... and a more detail view of the controller under the battery holder The only minor problem is: It just won't go! arrrghghghg. Not sure where the problem is yet, whether it is the motor is kaput, or controller not on or whathaveyou. Some annoying...

    Kabbage eBMX#1

    Well, you know, I was going to get a black one, but they were out of stock - so I chose the red one as a "not quite what I want, but it'll have to do" solution. Turned out OK eh? Same with the black/chrome hubmotor - it was the last Code 9 BenMoore had, so I wasn't in a position to argue that...

    Massive pothole comprehensively frocks BPM

    How about an update on this one, while I'm in a posting mood? Well, with the benefit of Commuter No. 2 on the road I finally got around to putting the BPM back in the Avanti, and guess what? It works fine. No apparent problems. So perhaps it was just that washer that was cactus. The...

    Kabbage eBMX#1

    Yeah, the battery is the one off my Avanti to see how it goes. I suspect you are right, it's going to be a bit high up there. I think the plan is to see how it goes, and if it goes well enough (to avoid said nephew wanting an 80cc trail bike, like the kids up the road), then we'll get a new...

    Kabbage eBMX#1

    My nephew lives on an acerage just outside of town, and wanted a bike to get around the paddocks. He found this BMX on hard-rubbish and rescued it... Chain could do with some oil one decade. But cool - that top bar looks just the place to lob a 48V12Ah headway battery, doesn't it? Voila...

    C'lyte 3540 in 20" BMX rim, spokes?

    Nice answers guys, Thanks. So, recommendations for where to buy these 17" rims and moto tyres from? Those spokes are going to mighty tiny in a 17" rim though, aren't they? Also, since I am not in the business of building my own wheels, who would I get to do this sort of thing? LBS? or...

    C'lyte 3540 in 20" BMX rim, spokes?

    I am thinking of putting my big crystalyte 3540 into a 20" BMX rim to make a little fun electric farm-bike for my nephew. I have used the calculator on Ebikes.ca, and recon it is still capable of 40kph at 48v and 30 odd amps; hopefully some good torque in the 20" rim. Any advice about spoke...

    New Build Advice Commuter Sydney

    I know what you're saying dude - my reason for e-biking exactly. (But I've also lived in Sydney too, and in Summer you're going to get sweaty standing still, so don't be overly precious about that requirement!) I have not ever found anything satisfactory. I reckon you've got basically two...

    Kabbage Commuter No. 2

    OK, second thoughts time. I had a few issues with the controller turning off randomly. Turns out one of my Anderson plug terminations was cactus, so that appears to be solved. Also, I discovered that the motor runs much quieter when using the Hall sensors, rather than running it sensorless...

    new ebike.ca controller random cut-outs?

    Possibly. After quite a lot of testing with various bits and pieces, it was still doing it. I asked Grin/ebikes.ca if they knew anything. Apparently, they've found that for geared motors which have high RPM motors the controller cannot keep up with the phase switching when it's detecting the...

    new ebike.ca controller random cut-outs?

    Yeah Sam, that is the plan, my man. Actually, I'll swap the new controller onto the first build temporarily... Will be Interesting to see how the Crystalyte goes with the sensorless controller too...

    new ebike.ca controller random cut-outs?

    Well I've changed the throttle over, and it's still doing it. It really is terribly weird. I also played around with the battery, moving it as much as possible in every direction - it never causes the problem to appear -I don't belive it could be the battery based on that. Looks like I'm...

    new ebike.ca controller random cut-outs?

    The battery build is documented here http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52349#p799030. The headways and BMS are from evassemble; the BMS is here: http://www.evassemble.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=211. The reason that leads me to believe it is...

    new ebike.ca controller random cut-outs?

    Yeah, I was wondering if the flash was actually an error code - hence I'll try it with a more conventional throttle and see. I guess I was just trying to get a sense if anyone was experiencing any oddities with these controllers since they are so new. I have also contacted ebikes.ca, of course...

    new ebike.ca controller random cut-outs?

    I have just completed my second bike which is sort of going OK, but I've come across a weird intermittent problem that I would value some ideas about. I have one of the new ebikes.ca sensor/sensorless Infineon controllers with the little red flashing light on it (It flashes red at rest, and...

    Kabbage Commuter No. 2

    Scott Commuter First Ride Thoughts: Took the new beastie for a spin tonight, here's my first thoughts.... Firstly, the little bafang appeared to be *really* loud. Like, nasty, but particularly under load when starting off - at full bore it is fine. I thought I might have copped a dodgey one...

    Kabbage Commuter No. 2

    Here's a picture of my mostly finished bike; There's still no lights or throttle on it here, soon. And the cables aren't managed properly yet either. Just want to get it in a state where it is rideable, to make sure it all works... I 'managed' all the BMS and other battery cables with the...
