    Mark II is Finished! How things went the second time around.

    So I decided about two years ago that I wanted to build an electric motorcycle. Unfortunately I'm a poor college student and don't have a garage, so the idea wasn't going to happen any time soon. But in the mean time I wanted to jump into the electric scene and love biking so I figured I would...

    E-bike + carbon frame + 52V. 18650 + BMC motor

    Amazing build! Thanks for posting everything in detail. I feel like too many on the forum get impatient and go the "duck tape" route. It makes the community suffer a bit I fear since it makes the bike look more like a Frankenstein monster machine than a reliable mode of transportation. You did...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    Just wanted to update this since i finally got my fixed parts today. Several things have happened since this story was last updated. I had to send my controller and motor back to em3ev and found out that the hall sensor wires shorted from a static shock. That was my fault but i have to say Paul...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    I set the max at 62v and the lvc at 54v to make sure that the lipos never get below 3.7v per cell. If you look at the vid i posted you can see pack voltage is at a comfortable 61.2. So I don't think it was that either. I spent a good 1/2 hour going through all the settings and haven't found...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    The most frustrating thing about this is that I've got all the writing how it was when i did the initial test and everything worked. The ca3 had a black six pin connector going to it and it is hooked up the exact same as it was on my initial test, between that and it getting temp readings from...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    It's plugged into the CA 3. A step i haven't taken yet is to link it directly to the controller but i don't have the adapter and can't temporarily configure it till i get some supplies. But i have checked to make sure the throttle is working and it does just fine. In and out voltages change and...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    You're completely right, as i rotate the wheel backward the voltages change so the hall sensors aren't bad. Im guessing that the alternation is to keep the motor pushing in a synchronized manner? So I'm just thinking out loud here, but since the hall sensors are working fine I'm back to...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    I have run through all of the troubleshooting steps and think i have found the problem. The blue and green hall sensor wires (that match the blue and green phase wires) don't have any voltage under power and i have them connected directly to their wires coming from the controller (which do have...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    Dancliff I took off the connector for the hall sensor plug because i wanted to make sure they were making a good connection, i know they could short but that was only for testing them. They will probably end up getting soldered together like you said. But they are working fine so i know they...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    That would make a lot of sense but they didn't ship me the brake so it's not hooked up. I checked to see if the connector had been damaged somehow but it's fine. Here's another picture of it all together mostly off the bike. The hall sensor is even sending temp info so i think the wires are all...

    help trouble shooting em3ev kit

    So i just got my upgraded Mac motor kit from em3ev and was super excited and got it all working last night. I tested it and it was working great. But today i worked on it some more and was housing it in a plexiglass frame in the triangle of my bike and got it all in there nice and neat and then...

    Ya man! Keep it comin! I've always thought a crotch rocket would make a good EV platform, I'm curious to see how this turns out.

    Some needed advice on security and water proofing

    By the way mlt34, thanks for posting that 2nd security thread. It's only 4 days old (no wonder you said to search :lol: ) it wasn't there yet last time i looked because it was a week ago! :roll:

    Some needed advice on security and water proofing

    I tried to search multiple subjects on the forum with limited success (and a lot of threads are diverted to other subjects so quickly/so often that there isn't much actual info in them about what the op asked sadly). But thanks for the links! I would have never found them on my own. I have...

    Some needed advice on security and water proofing

    Hey everyone! So I'm new to es but I've been researching a lot (past 3 months or so) on an electric motorcycle. Only I just moved into an apartment and don't really have a garage or workshop to put one together. So since I'm a student and only commute ~3 miles to school everyday I've been...

    Suzuki GSX600F - Electric Conversion Build

    Hey Swayze, I am new to E-S as well and have been looking at making an electric motorcycle for quite a while now. The alltrax controllers are definitely very popular and seem to get great reviews. But I have also seen a lot of people use Kelly controllers because they offer regen. If you...
