    Will my MAC motor run Ok on 7S / ~25Volt?

    I have a standard MAC (10T) motor and am looking to build an 18650 pack. Was going to make two 7S5P packs and run them in series so would end up with about 51.8V nominal and about 10.5AH. Then I was thinking this morning why not optionally make a harness to parallel them and run on 26V? Will...

    Question re Cycle Analyst (V2.3)

    I have a MTB with a standard MAC kit with the 25A 6Fet controller. I also recently purchased the Cycle Analyst V2.3 (also from cell_man) and I'm pretty happy with it. One thing doesn't seem to be working properly though: I've set the CA Max Amps to limit the amp to 15A. Yet after a ride Ive...

    Looking for BMS with adjustable HVC (and LVC)

    I want to make my life simpler (as far as charging my little LiPo pack is concerned) and am looking for a 12S or 14S BMS that will allow me to turn the HVC down to 4.1V and increase the LVC to 3.6 or 3.65V. Is there such a beastie?

    Recommendations for battery and phase wire plug/socket?

    I have a little 6 FET controller (25A) and am looking to tidy up the wiring because with the current multitude of plugs and leads it resembles a big bowl of spaghetti. :-( So I'm going to take it out of its current housing and install it into an aluminium diecast box with 3 sockets mounted onto...

    Some questions re LiPo, bulk charging and BMS

    I have bought a standard MAC kit from Paul (cell_mann) and I’m really happy with it (not in the least as a result of the good info and help from people on this forum). My battery is a 12S Lipo pack (3 x turnigy 4s 5000mah hardcase bricks) and I am charging it with a 106B Icharger which also...

    Fitting front wheel MAC to fork - a few questions

    I just received my MAC motor, and I've assembled the engine bits and have started fitting the wheel to the dropouts. First question I have is: On each side of the axle is a nut, a washer with a bent lug and normal flat washer (as per pic 1). My first question is: should the flat washer go on...

    Group LiPO buy?? For New Zealand only..

    Having recently had a particularly unsatisfactory experience with HobbyKing, I'm investigating alternatives. I'm not sure how many Kiwis there are on this forum, who use LiPo, but if there's sufficient interest we could do a group buy of a number of 6S 5200mah 25C bricks. I've made some...

    Best place to buy some LiPo's from?? (Not Hobbyking)

    I've been trying to buy some LiPo's from HobbyKing (first ever order with them) and my experience with them is that they are absolutely useless! As we say here in New Zealand: "they couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery". Full story is here...

    NOOB LiPo Shopping list. Did I miss anything critical?

    Am looking to convert my MTB (strictly commuter no offroad) with a MAC kit (yet to purchase) but after a lot of reading have decided that the best battery option (for now) is to go LiPo. Yes, I've read a number of the horror stories (member Floont comes to mind) and my wife is already not that...

    Battery requirement calc; Is this correct?

    I'm looking at buying a standard MAC kit and am looking at battery options. I'd like to get the smallest pack that I can get away with and am looking at some Turnigy 5000mah 4S (14.4V) packs, because they are cheap as chips at the moment. I only want the motor to assist on the up hill bits of...

    Ebay 48V 10AHLi batteries? any good?

    Hi I'm new to e-bikes and am researching my options. I came across battery packs from "cammy_cc8" selling 48V 10AH battery packs for $270 including shipping. (shipping is the killer for me, living in New Zealand). Here is the link...

    Newbie looking for some practical advice

    Hi, I am new to e-bikes, but have done a fair bit of reading over the last week or so on here (including the FAQ) and other places. I first got interested when a local website (live in New Zealand) was offering Magic Pie kits. Since then I have read that their quality is not as good as one...
