    Zippy Lipo battery connections?

    Hi, I have just received a charger, power supply and various Zippy Lipo packs from HobbyKing. The positive lead on the batteries are a 4mm female bullet into which a banana plug happily fits. :D The negative lead has what looks like a castle-ated 3.5mm female bullet but it is completely...

    Ping BMS operation

    Hi all, I've just bought a Ping V2.5 48V 15AH LiFePO4. A quick delivery, lots of info on shipping and great communication. Woo hoo! and more range coming. However, I have found that the balancing LEDs stay on after disconnecting the charger. It may be that I don't understand the...

    How to remove the stator from a 408?

    I have poling occurring in my 408. I want to find out where it is happening so am pulling the motor apart. The sidecovers have been removed and the stator is being held in position by the force of the magnets. I can get it to rock from side to side but can't get it to come out. :( I have a 10...

    Crystalyte 408 magnets - how to secure?

    The history: My Crystalyte 408R motor started to make a "squeak squeak" about a week ago so last weekend I replaced the bearings, but to no avail. The squeaking continued. When the motor was apart for the bearing replacement, I found that I could not remove the stator due to the magnetic forces...

    408 threaded steel boss - Good an ya Crystalyte!

    Wacko! I received a 408 threaded side cover from Crystalyte Europe recently as a spare. When I had a closer look it seemed to be a bit heavier than usual and had some surface corrosion on the threaded boss. Hmm. Out with the magnet... Adding to that, there's a seal inserted into the boss. How...

    Chromed aluminium rims, are they OK?

    I'm looking for a new rim for my 408. I've hit a few bumps and the spoke nipples have started to pull through in two places. I am looking for a stronger more durable rim. The LBS guy recommends I get a dual wall chromed aluminium rim that is used on downhill MTBs. I am wondering, under normal...

    Do the Girlie thing and use a bell...

    After finally getting decrepit enough to resist the effects of the remaining traces of testosterone, I did the girlie thing and put a bicycle bell onto my left handlebar extension. The result has been amazing. By going "ting ting" every 50 metres or so as you approach dog walkers or yabbering...

    Topeak seatpost clamp bolt breaking - solved

    For those of us luxury-loving tender-arsed softies with dual suspension :D there is always the problem of what to do with a rack. Topeak is the usual choice with their clamp to the seatpost but their weight limitation of 7Kg is just not enough. To cushion the load against an alloy seatpost...

    Tour de Presteigne 2009 - Electric bike rally

    Ah, a warm lazy Saturday morning, the glow of yellow sunlight caused by the smoke of the Victorian bushfires. I feel sad for those unfortunate ones left in the burnt out areas all around me. Luckily, the fires did not come to the Dandenong ranges this time. So with nothing better to do, to take...

    Crystalyte Cassette motor cover - Anyone tried it?

    Looking through http://www.crystalyte.com/info.htm, I found http://www.crystalyte.com/cassette%20gears.htm How it mounts... M bike's rear spacing is 135mm, so I have tried mounting an 8 speed screw on cluster by turning down the threaded boss on the sideplate but found that the upper part of...

    Cycle Analyst speedo hot or cold switching?

    Before I open up my CA (the screws were originally too tight and have stripped some threads so I don't want to go in there unless necessary :( ), I am wondering, is the Cycle Analyst speedo connection hot or cold switching? Not having the HM area populated in my Crystalyte v2 controller, I...

    :idea: Hi all, how about topics in the Technical section to hold circuit details for specific controllers? ulterior motive? Me..? I'm after circuit details for the Crystalyte RFW4850 V06 Controller. At the moment the details are scattered and take a bit of time to find what is needed. If we had...
