    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    Last update for a while. I purchased a 48v 14ah Lithium Ion battery pack for the bikes. Since it was bigger, I placed it on a hanging tube bag from the center bar of the Men's bike. This means the Step Through I also bought is no longer an option. I am still using the case from the original...

    70$ Li-Ion Battery Pack 48V 10.5Ah 500w output

    Hi, how long are the leads from the battery to the motor? Can I request a custom length?

    Sort of. The original battery was lithium, but I bought the bike knowing it was dead so I never rode it with that battery. Then as you heard when I opened it up it appears it was on the verge of exploding!

    Update: First long ride. It's 97 degrees here so that may be a factor. Took a ride to Lowes. 4.5 miles one way. Bike was great on a mix of hills and flats. Used some PAS on levels 1-3. On the way back at mile 7 got "low battery warning". Good to know that function still works. Bike would...

    WEEEE This thing is fun! My reusing the controller experiment worked like a charm. Once I hooked up the battery to the leads inside the old battery box everything works great except the battery range indicator, which I didn't expect to work. Just took the bike for a ride (both actually) and...

    According to all the research I've done it's 48v yes

    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    UPDATE I took the old pack to the county recycling center. Don't need those potential headaches. I found the controller WAS indeed in the little tiny black box connected to the end of the rear rack. The original pack has terminals built in that connect to the controller when inserted. SO...I...

    Yeah I get it. Thanks.

    Yeah, I put the pack in the garage and keep checking on it. The cell seems to have cooled down. No more messing around with this pack! As for the aftermarket battery. Maybe I'll give it a try and see what happens.

    I can't even tell him where the main terminals are it's so buried in tape. One of the cells is noticeably hot right now. What I really want to do is get a whole new battery pack. You think I could connect it to the red and black leads that are at the top of the pack? Would I be better off...

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/rDc62BiiUkc5RBip9 Here's what the pack looks like opened up. Any idea if there's a controller shoved in there?

    No but I tried 2 different. Charges. Unlikely both are bad?

    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    Ugh, after 20 hours the battery now is completely dead. At least no response from a multimeter on the leads on the outside of the case. Time to open her up I guess.

    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    Ooh, do you have any pictures of how you wired it? My biggest concern is keeping the controller in play to use the original throttle with PAS modes. Mine is the 48v version, however so not sure it's exactly the same. Looks like this https://images.app.goo.gl/qnwK4aDbxysh7qgg8

    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    After 4 hours of charging, battery looks dead as a doornail. I put a multimeter to it and the needle jumped a bit, but then went back to zero. Bikes came with a 2nd charger, I'm trying that overnight.

    Oh and Dogman, I had a Honda Metropolitan, then a Yamaha Vino 125 and a Kymco People 150. Took the Kymco on the highway a few times at 80mph and that was the max of my risk tolerance!

    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    Thanks everybody. I just brought the bikes home. Two of them in fact. Screaming deal. Anybody in Maryland need one? I can confirm its the Currie 48v 500 watt hub motor. Letting the battery charge for a while now, then I'll check with a volt meter. Hard to tell about the controller. I see two...

    Back from the dead and Izip Question

    Hey Everybody! Back after a 6 year hiatus, during which time I traded my ebike for a gas powered scooter, then bought 2 bigger scooters and rode them for several years. After making it over 5 years without killing myself I decided it was time to stop tempting fate. That bug, as you know never...

    More Power?

    So I was looking at my controller and it says Infineon Intelligent Controller. Does that mean it's programmable? If so, how do I program more amps allowed?

    More Power?

    26 inch wheels, Gross weight is about 250 lbs, rider, bike plus batteries. My batteries have only 5 cycles on them so can't be sagging that much. I'll check out the simulator. thanks

    More Power?

    Hello, I just put together a bike using mix and match parts and the power is not what I was expecting. I am using an Ebikekit 500W motor Model JZ36V500W090319056, with an Infineon 17AMP controller. It has an LVC of 31.5 V. I currently am using a 36 Volt SLA pack I put together. 3 12V at...

    You think its 24 volt? The limited info I can find lead me to believe 36.

    Has anybody seen or used this EcoEasy Rider bike? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/bik/4595078865.html There is one on the local Craigslist and I am thinking about picking it up, but it has a dead battery. Seems to me at this price it would be hard to go wrong, but I've been down this...

    Firmstrong CA-520, feet forward cruiser

    As mentioned lots of those crank forwards have models in their catalog that are steel. Electra in particular has a Townie 3i that is all steel. My first ebike was a Crystalyte front mount on that same Townie. Combined with the front V-Brake and the rear coaster, it was my favorite combination...
