    [AUS VIC Specific] Auspost Postie eTrikes Legality

    Ok, might have to try and take photo of one and search it on Vicroads. Just not sure what class or what they are being registered as. It would be great to have a small off road go kart or similar to be converted with a tray for delivery.

    [AUS VIC Specific] Auspost Postie eTrikes Legality

    My understanding is that Auspost is now using Kyburz DXP electric trikes to deliver mail. Max speed of 45kph and range of 115km. This is great, love the idea of the mail/small parcels being delivered efficiently. At the moment we are using a 1.3l Honda Jazz for our small business and...

    Return of the ES wiki!

    I wrote the Bafang lubrication article in question. Happy to go back over it but.. super embarrassing - I've been away for a while and I cannot for the life of me remember how to get back to the wiki :( Its not in the FAQs and the search function is sending me to unfamiliar looking sites... Help?

    End of the World. Beginning of a new one. The Life of Amberwolf.

    You helped me out a long time ago and I have not forgotten it. I have returned to Endless after a bit of a break to find this thread and its pretty rough. :shock: If you want a hand finding ways to make a living online send me a PM of the best way to communicate and I will [try] to help you...

    Kepler Friction drive comes of age.

    Golly people still use this forum? all the others I used to frequent have long since died with the advent of social media. Hope you are well John, this has certainly come a long way from mini Arduino discussions! MarkForged3d were the apple of 3d printing last time I looked into it for...

    Guerilla Charge

    Bringing back the dead with this one! I've found over time that the cost of electricity is generally not well understood beyond "it costs money". Hence if you are using it without permission, your taking it without permission... doesn't end well. Find places where its permitted.. such a better...

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    All good, thanks AW, just need to find one to purchase now! 8)

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    What test do I conduct/ how do I know that the power supply ground is isolated from the charger? If I use the bench ac to DC supply would it be testing continuity of GND on the AC wall plug to positive or negative of the DC output?

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    I understand you are saying that two of these cannot be used unless their source is isolated. How do I do this? Major is commenting in another thread that the negative is common to the first channel. Does this mean that even if the sources are isolated, the six channels are not? if so, what can...

    BMS Connections

    There's a suggestion on here that https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=83991&p=1229712#p1229712 A quick look on RS components has revealed these to be 13A?! https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-connector-housings/6795808/ Looks like it might be the go. Others on here have...

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    I guess just thinking out loud to avoid the isolation issue. Get a plug back with an appropriate voltage (i.e. 4v is fine for me, not fussed about the .2) which can charge at 1a ish and attach to each group, charging them individually by connecting it to each parallel group then moving onto the...

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    This battery was originally intended for a bike which would be used for commuting. Periodically I work crazy hours and its very easy to make mistakes when I am that tired. Equally any time I spend error checking or being less confident is less charge time. My previous setup was a em3ev battery...

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    Hi AW!!! Happy New Year! awesome to see you posting again last time I was on here you were taking a hiatus but its just great to see you again! There isnt really any information about how it works. It does have some parameters but its not a description of how the charge process works. I'd paste...

    Expected BMS Behaviour

    I have finished the spot welding on a 13S8P pack and I am bench testing a BMS with a 13S1P pack to test and make sure it actually works and will manage the cell groups during charging. I have the BMS Connected to the pack based on the instructions for it (nothing unusual there) and have the...

    BMS Connections

    I am in the process of finishing off building a 13S8P pack. I have a BMS which I have now tested with a 13S1P pack and whilst it functions fine for balancing, it lacks any form of bluetooth communication, LCD screen, logging etc. I want to be able to easily change to a different BMS at a later...

    Luna Cycle's "world's safest battery" lacking MSD

    I've only ever seen MSDS for individual cells from the cell manufacturer. I cant say I've seen one at the pack level. I would have thought if you know the cells in the pack you can obtain the MSDS for them from the cell manufacturer. Its been a long time since I've bought a pack - I've built my...

    Who here has/uses a Spoke Tension Meter?

    When I started truing and building my own wheels, a number of books and threads recommended pinging the spokes and listen for the note made in the sound to understand their tension. I found this pretty frustrating and not particularly successful despite being in full agreement with the theory...

    Bafang BBSxx - fault finding and fixes

    My dolphin pack connect socket did exactly the same thing. I trawled the internet for hours to try and find an exact replacement - no dice. Molex was a close as it would get that was attainable directly I gave up, contacted Em3ev to obtain replacement parts. It was caused by the socket coming...

    BBS Brake Cut Off Wiring Question

    I've got some brake lever which incorporate a reed switch as a ebrake cut off. They use a two wire reed switch. I want to use them on a BBS01 kit, which has a three wire reed switch female higo connection. Can I use these two wire reed switches instead of the hall sensors? which wires to go...

    Found/Abondoned Bicycles

    Yeah, they call these place bike co -ops - usually non profit, charity type organisations. Definitely worth looking into, for cheap donor bikes for projects. Yep, have picked up a few from places like this, the most recent an urban crusier style bike which still had the Shimano green dollops...

    BBSxx on Big Hit donor

    Very nice work, the gap at the top creates an EOM vibe to this, really like your framework! 8) Did you replicate the Bighit's geometry or depart from it? Would it be possible to see some more of inside the battery area? I think building my own frame will be on the cards for the next project!

    Hi power inverter for Nissan leaf motor. Dyno's 302.3hp p15

    I used to have the n/a version back in the day. Flying wedge! Would be a good opportunity to have better weight distribution, use to be too light in the front with a tendency to spin. Watch out for rust! Awesome projects here!

    Yet another 18650 battery build.

    Sage advice. I built a (slightly wobbly) workbench out of some leftover wooden shelving and wood scraps specifically to spot weld on - to avoid putting things on a bench with bits of wire, grease etc which might conduct 8) I like the the tools warnings - the electrical tape tip ftw. The plan...

    Yet another 18650 battery build.

    Thank you for your advice - got it done in Sketchup. Pretty blown away at how user friendly it was, its been a few years since I've touched a CAD program and that was definitely easier to use than the old versions of AutoCAD. I've lamented for sometime and I think this layout is about as good...
