    I picked up a 24v Lee Iacocca EVG Ebike

    I just picked up a 36v LE! $200. All stock. SLAs are showing some degradation, but I've done 2-3 mile rides with no problems. Fully charged it goes from green light to the middle light (yellow?) then the yellow and the red one light up. Finally, the red light by itself lights up. Haven't...

    GNG, 1000W 48V BB-drive, $400

    Oops. Here is the auction, which calls it 3rd gen: http://www.ebay.com/itm/36V-250W-MID-ELECTRIC-MOTORIZED-E-BIKE-CONVERSION-KIT-3rd-version-/200900038918?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec6935106 This is their site, but the same kit doesn't say 3rd gen: http://www.gngebike.com/ Thanks.

    GNG Drive Gen2

    Thinking about taking the plunge on one of these GNGs. A couple of questions: -Anyone have problems when doing curb drops/hops? I see a lot of full suspension mtb builds and those just beg for curb dropping. Dont want a drop to take out the motor. Is it just the case of moving the hub further...

    GNG, 1000W 48V BB-drive, $400

    Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post at but GNG has a "version 3" motor for sale on ebay and their site. Does anyone know what the improvements are over the previous version(s)? I looked at their forum and there is very sparse activity so I thought I'd ask here.

    reviving a dead BionX battery

    I have the same issue as the OP. I was wondering if this kind of SLA charger/maintainer would work to bring the voltage up so that the bionx charger could work: http://www.amazon.com/BatteryMINDer-Model-12117-Maintainer-Desulfator/dp/B000P23HZS I don't want to invest in a 200mah charger if I...

    BMSBattery/ECityPower Experience

    I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a q100 rear kit and the 36v bottle battery from BMS. I am getting the cheapest shipping quote at $180, fedex i think. Sound right? I think I ordered something a few years back and it was closer to $100. Thanks.

    Bafang or Cute? and freewheel question

    Looks like I'll go with the 100. You could even go with 3000 mAH packs or smaller for that distance. I go 20km or so with my 2x6S 4000 mAH packs. This is lipo, right? I'm a little nervous setting up this bike with Lipo due to the potential fire issues. Not sure what you mean here, but I...

    Bafang or Cute? and freewheel question

    Any updates zukster? I'm also thinking about a similar setup to that German guy with the stealthy bikes. I'm considering a rear drive Q motor (100 or 128) from BMS battery. I just need enough battery power for a 3 mile ride. There is a grade but it's like 1-2% at a few points; no San...

    Looking for a strong non-residue tape?

    Great suggestions. Thanks. Just to confirm. PVC tape is the same as good old electrical tape? And, look for 3M brand. That saran wrap idea sounds good, but I think that it'll be a big mess, I don't know :cry: Maybe I'll try it if the electrical tape thing doesn't work.

    Looking for a strong non-residue tape?

    I have jigged a stand made out of wood where my battery will rest on the triangle. I've enclosed the battery in a padded cooler case. The case is colored red so I'd like to wrap it around with some sort of black tape (mainly for stealth reasons). I've thought of duct tape, but that usually...

    Thanks, Dogman. Will check it out.

    Half cm flexible tubing to funnel hot water?

    This is not bike related, but you guys have been so helpful in setting up my various ebikes, I'd figured I'd ask here. My fridge icemaker is not working and one of the solutions recommended in another site is to use a turkey baster to shoot hot water up this hose, which is pointing downward...

    Ideas for reinforcing a brace/shelve inside the triangle?

    Thanks, Dogman. Looks like I'll go with that since I've got plenty of wood scraps. When you put the screws in, is it going away from the bike tube or kinda over it. You mentioned angling it to make it tight. Hope this makes sense.

    Ideas for reinforcing a brace/shelve inside the triangle?

    Dogman, Do you have a closeup of the bottom part of that brace? Looks like you have another piece of wood that is supporting that shelf. Is is grooved?

    Ideas for reinforcing a brace/shelve inside the triangle?

    Kent, That's an ingenious solution. I may just try that. I wish my mind could work like that. Thanks! Any other out of the box ideas are welcome.

    Ideas for reinforcing a brace/shelve inside the triangle?

    I want to rest my battery pack on this platform while at the same time enclose it in some kind of ballistic nylon case that will be velcro strapped to the top tube. I've tried just suspending the pack in a velcro case before and eventually the fabric tears. I'm thinking a platform will have...

    Is a dinple or dent catastrophic for a hub?

    Hole in the hubs?! What?! Maybe I'm just worrying too much. It's like one of those mini dings you get from a grocery cart on your car door. Seriously, why would anyone drill a hole there? I always thought it should be a pristine, dry environment inside the hub. Weight reduction? Looks?

    Is a dinple or dent catastrophic for a hub?

    I just noticed that one of my golden motors hubs has a little dimple, like a rock hit it or something. I don't know who it got there. However, it is powering up and running fine. it is very small maybe smaller than a dime. It is also at the top close to the spokes. This is a direct drive...

    Is there such a thing as flat bottle cage screws?

    I'm looking to build an enclosure for by battery that will go in the triangle. I plan to fasten it to the bottle cage holes. However, all the bottle cage screws that come with bikes have a raised knub or nipple. Need all the room I can get. Have any of you seen some flat or low profile ones...

    Diagnose my Bionx PL350 problem (w/pix).

    Aconite, That was it! the connector on the battery box was submerged. It was not making full contact with the outside connector. I pushed it out and it seems to be working. Have to take a big ride to give it the true test. Thanks!

    Diagnose my Bionx PL350 problem (w/pix).

    A few days ago my Bionx stopped working. The display went blank and I could not get it to turn on again. I checked my external wire connections and they all looked good. When I tried to hook it up to the charger, the red light on my charger came on, but the one to the right of it did not. It...

    Bionx PL500HS, Dahon MU SL, Schlumpf High Speed Drive

    For those that have returned their Bionx for service: do they require that you return the entire unit? Hub, controller and battery pack? I'm having an issue where the throttle works, but the various assistance levels do not engage when pedalling. thanks.

    Is there a "Batteries on Sale" thread?

    Thanks, Joey, for the comprehensive response. <I could have sworn that I posted this in the ebikes general discussion forum, but maybe the mods moved it.>
