    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    Well if anything I'm less sure now than when I opened this thread. Thats not to say I'm no wiser, just that I've been made aware of advantages and disadvantages which I, given limited knowledge on the topic, would have no way of realizing on my own. Again, thanks for that. Anyways, I think I'm...

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    Okay, thanks for pointing that out. With that taken into consideration I will most likely keep them. Is there any argument against trimming away excess wiring? So as to keep them in their original state as opposed to making a cut in the middle of it and a solder connection.

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    Does anyone have experience ordering from Elifebike.com? On the site they say there is no taxes for both EU and US, but on some products it says that there is second-time taxes for Norway. Though that info is not on all products. I probably should just contact them directly bu thought I would...

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    Can you tell which of those solutions the following motor-kit provides? http://www.pswpower.com/peng/iview.asp?KeyID=dtpic-2014-3C-S316.027VD I would definitively go for the one-cable solution. But in either case there will probably be the large connectors between the different components and...

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    Certaintly. At my university we have bicycle parking houses which locks. That is a most appriciated theft-prevention. But of course, you can never be safe. I will look into insurance as well, but I doubt that I will be able to get coverage for the entire bike, inclusive electric components.

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    I'm aware of that. But being a perky OCD-freak wire cluttee really annoys me, and a clean-looking bike (esp one that I converted to E myself) would really tickle my delicates, so to say. I'm betting that a good lock and some healthy caution will have me covered. There is an interesting...

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    @docw009 Thanks for your insight. I see now that the controller I linked to is limited to 36v, yes. I'm not sure I understand the ratings used on controllers. Or else I may not understand how controllers work in relation to the battery and motor. Why is it that controllers that limit output to...

    Advice regarding 'do-it all' ebike

    I have recently caught onto the idea of converting my Trek DS (8.3 DS, 2015ish, 700c) into an ebike. I have no prior experience with DIY-ebiking but consider myself technical competent and somewhat handy. I have read rigourosly on various ebike sites and concluded that I will be well served with...
