    MAC motor suddenly stopped working

    Knoxie, I don't give a damn who you are, you sound like a twit. The purpose of the forum is to help people with problems and share technical info. Your time must be worth nothing. Go stroke your ego somewhere else if you are not going to contribute something useful. Efold, I would suggest...

    MAC motor suddenly stopped working

    I spend an hour posting a very detailed explanation on how to repair a sensor that will help a lot of people. And you reply with a stupid nitwit comment. You disagree all you want. You don't know what the hell you are talking about.

    MAC motor suddenly stopped working

    For the benefit of Efold and anyone reading this thread, when your motor runs rough, quits running or makes noise and runs hot, the first thing you should check is the hall sensors. It is 90% of the motor problems. Someone posted a link to the tester, Lyen also has them locally, the labels on...

    Big spark connecting lyen 18 fet for first time

    What happens if the switch is left on the resistor position? It either drains the battery or worse, they try to run the motor in that position. If something simple works for you, great. I have to take the average user into consideration. My circuit works perfectly with all controllers.

    Big spark connecting lyen 18 fet for first time

    You want the momentary position to connect the resistor to the center connector, so double check with an ohm meter. You should have an inline fuse (battery or controller side) on the plus wire for safety reasons. These are available at your local auto parts store.

    1st Ebike Conversion Need Advice

    That frame is not suitable for a heavy or high powered motor. Any motor on the front fork might tear it off. My recommendation is a small geared motor on the back running at 36V and 15-20A. An example would be our mini-might motor (Ampedbikes/MXUS).

    Would be Lyen buyers... be warned * RESOLVED *

    Nitwits like this guy pop up once in awhile. I've only had to deal with a few over the years, fortunately. Usually they burn something up due to incompetence, then demand a new replacement. If you don't jump and dance to their tune, they write a bad review. I think most readers of this forum...

    I'm looking for Dealers that take Credit Cards - NOT PAYPAL

    We no longer accept Paypal, only credit cards. We got burnt by some joker who ordered a $2000 custom system, then returned it for no reason. Paypal said either issue a 100% refund or we will do a chargeback on you. Evidently this guy knew how to work the system. With shipping, handling and...

    Testing prototype: 30% grade on 575 watts !

    In answer to your questions: On all but the 30% grade it was light pedaling. It could probably make it up a 15% with no pedaling. I am very out of shape so the moderate pedaling on the 30% got me breathing hard but I was riding with one hand, sitting down so couldn't have been putting out more...

    Diodes for parallel battery hook-up- Yes or No?

    Yes, you should use diodes so you don't have to worry about damaging your packs. Diodes in series with one of the output leads, usually the positive, on both packs will prevent one pack from discharing into the other one (with no over-voltage protection). An important point here, and this is...

    Pro's/Con's of Ampedbikes.com kits

    Several people have asked if the MXUS geared motor being sold is the same as the one from Ampedbikes. While I don't have definitive proof yet, I believe the Amped version is slightly different. Yes, it is manufactured by MXUS but Danny has a history of improving on a design, spending his own...

    Electric trike

    That looks like an Aotema motor, if you show the plug I can know for sure. The controller looks like the Aotema and can not be programmed. You can do a hardware mod for the LVC which I have done once, I can look for my notes if you are interested. I wouldn't attempt it unless you are good at...

    If anyone has any questions about this motor, please contact me by email as I don't check for messages on here very often. After getting some test reports and doing more of my own testing, I have taken this motor off the market for the general public. There are some issues that have to be...

    Hightekbikes 10H Direct Drive Motor Kit

    First, it's Mea Culpa time. Regarding my previous negative post regarding the 9C, after receiving more feedback and having second thoughts, I admit that was a bad idea posting that. I think when you screw up. the best thing you can do is man up and admit it, apologize, and learn from your...

    Geared or Direct Drive, Which one for you?

    There are two basic types of hub motors in wide use today for electric bikes, direct drive and geared. The direct drive has no internal gears or other moving parts except the actual case which rotates around the axle on sealed bearings. The coils are wound around an assembly that is fastened...

    Maxi Might hub test and review

    Glad you were able to get that on your bike John, it looks good. What was the wheel size? I'm embarrassed to admit I did not actually measure the axle OLD. As you can see from the attached photos, it looks to fit fine in a regular bike with 6 gears. That is one of the bikes we got from...
