    Show me your electric velomobile.

    And mine... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA2akGa_qEg Agilo vélomobile built from plan, BBS01B with 44v battery (2 x 6S6P) and modified 500C LCD to accept the extra voltage. Of course EU legal with cut off at 25 km/h, top speed so far in excess of 72 km/h and it holds 35-40 km/h on the flat...

    BBS01B 36V 250W - trying with higher voltage [success]

    A short update: - the motor is reprogrammed and finally provides some assistance! - it still runs cool because now that I can spin at 90 RPM I am helping the motor a lot more. I am not sure that it even needs a fan for cooling - the motor only runs for climbing or very short start up periods, I...

    BBS01B - pushing the limits

    Can you point me to instructions for wiring in a phaserunner to the BBS01B please? Mine is running fine with a 44v battery mod but I have some trailer pulling long distance camping plans and 800-1000W could come in handy on some hills.

    Wondering about potential of plywood velomobile

    You could just buy plans... https://www.velomobilforum.de/forum/index.php?attachments/new-look-jpg.265867/ This is my Agilo, #1 on the road and now there are 3-4 of us. https://www.sitko-velo.de/log-in/ I am still refining things but have peaked at 72.7 km/h downhill and it drives 30-35 km/h...

    BBS01B 36V 250W - trying with higher voltage [success]

    This is the cable coming from the 500C LCD. I just split the sheath near the plug end and spliced in the diode, it is inside a vélomobile so protected from the elements. Here is the photo and description...

    BBS01B 36V 250W - trying with higher voltage [success]

    I fully opened in the daylight... :oops: (edited image from this post https://electricbike.com/forum/forum/builds/new-builder-questions/77804-wiring-issue-for-a-bafang) P+ is brown. I will now cut and solder. EDIT: And victory!!!! The 500C shows 40.5v and my watt meter shows 46.9v

    BBS01B 36V 250W - trying with higher voltage [success]

    So I cut open the black shield of the LCD wire and hello! The colourblind Chinese user manual writer has struck again! I have Red, so far so good White Black, I guess we can trust that to be universal Green Brown The connector shown in the user manual is not a Julet connector but a JST...

    BBS01B 36V 250W - trying with higher voltage [success]

    Yeah I was thinking about that after I wrote the above. If >44.x volts goes through that wire the LCD will assume a 48v battery and show the 07 error message maybe.

    BBS01B 36V 250W - trying with higher voltage [success]

    I just ordered my diodes to do this mod, my problem is cadence: - my natural cadence is about 94 RPM so with low RPM motors I get back EMF - I now ride recumbent and my cadence is vital for comfort and power up to the 25 km/h cut off - on my upright I had a BBS01 clone (the GSM) and fixed the...

    KT controller not switching between 36 and 48v batteries

    ¡Muchos gracias! Both work with 36v. I can't charge the battery much over 49v. I think I remember now someone saying that you need a fully charged 48v battery to make the LCD/controller switch...

    KT controller not switching between 36 and 48v batteries

    I just spent another 20 minutes in the bike garage with battery, second BT controller... The LCD4 will not turn on, if I hold down the on/off button while disconnecting the battery it flickers briefly on when the capacitors discharge to 42v or under. So I have deduced that the LCD4 is stuck in...

    KT controller not switching between 36 and 48v batteries

    No ideas? Back in the good old days if the voltage was over 42v the controller concluded that the battery was a 48v battery and switched to 48v mode. Here that is not happening, why?

    KT controller not switching between 36 and 48v batteries

    Hi, I have a strange problem with my 9FET 36/48v controller: - I have been running the trike with a 36v LiPo battery and the LiPos are end of life - I plugged in my 12S 44v battery charged up to 48.6v and... The controller doesn't turn on. I have never had this problem with switching between...

    KT motor controllers -- Flexible OpenSource firmware for BMSBattery S/Kunteng KT motor controllers (0.25kW up to 5kW)

    Does someone know where I can get the original KT Bluetooth software, or something better if it exists? At KT I am directed to a Chinese page that wants me to install a download client on my computer, you know I am not going to do something like that... cheers

    The future of our forum - facebook versus web forums

    At a previous job my boss wrote an automatic re-sizer that scaled images during fike upload (that was for an in-house CMS so we had complete control over the code) and IIRC there is/was a phpbb plugin that did that too using imagemagic or some such tool.

    Faster 6s balance charger?

    My battery is 6P6S x 2 and I have a couple of Reaktor chargers plugged into a 540W HK power supply. I balance charge @ 2 Amps so my 29Es take about 7 hours to charge to 4.1v/cell. That is fine with me I usually charge for 6 hours in the evening when I get home then finish charging for another...

    The future of our forum - facebook versus web forums

    I feel your pain, I used to look after a phpbb forum or two for a few years. I looked for Java based forum software and for a while I even migrated to one, it stopped the hacking and defacement but it didn't stop the spam then back to phpbb (I don't need to explain to you the fun of migrating...

    Bluetooth DC energy monitor

    I want one. My Turnigy Watt meter has started showing 906 peak amps, I think it might be broken... Feature request: As the phone has GPS and knows the distance and time you have been moving a Wh/km display would be nice.

    KT LCD3 info 00 error

    Has anyone ever seen an Info 00 error on their KT LCD3? All the other errors are in the docs but I can't find any reference to this one. It comes and goes and the motor continues to receive power even during the screen blanking out so I am inclined to think it is an LCD error rather than a...

    Sortimo electric cargo trikes

    I ride a tadpole trike. Soon it will have a motor for hills and start/stop riding in the city. Trikes corner at the same speeds a car would: - you brake for corners, if the inside wheel lifts you are going too fast - you use your weight in a similar fashion to when you are in a side car...

    45km/h pedelec petition for Aussies

    When I was running my "250" W GSM mid drive unrestricted (no speed sensor) the GPS was showing 42-45 km/h on the flat. The problem with that kind of speed on what is seen as a push bike is car drivers, they expect you to be doing half that speed so they will pull out in front of you. That is why...

    Project: Home made velomobile design with crank or mid motor

    OK I have advanced some in my thought process. It is hotter than Norway where I live, and quite warm about 9 months of the year, so the canopy was not going to work all year round. I have redrawn so that the roof section can be removed (and stored in the nose). The canopy hinges further up the...

    Project: Home made velomobile design with crank or mid motor

    I liked your original velomobile and the new one is even better! My project is to have a removable body for a trike (AZUB, HPVelotechnik...) because the summer is too warm here for an enclosed body. As you have run the design through aerodynamic tests it would be really great to have some...

    4-wire PAS

    Damn I bet it was the throttle connector... That would be the only logical explanation for the motor kicking in. Brakes are twin black and yellow and there is a second black and yellow alone. PAS is black red and green and the connector I was using is black red and white. More testing...
