HiView attachment 7
I built a 36v/500w geared hub (I think) rear hub over 10 years when Bafang were the only guys easily available from BMS Battery Onlne.
I sold it after getting a prebuilt Khalkoff mid drive that I never liked tbh and I’ve now had it back!!
Several spokes are broke and I think they are 12g and 190mm long so I will replace these.
I’m astounded at what is now available and so t know which way to proceed.
I ideally want a KT LCD8S, 1500/2000w and 52v.
I’ve give it a clean and it all works as should all be it the wheel is way out of true, the battery is a small lithium ion I think, it’s 36v/11 ah or less wrapped in blue heat shrink.
I have it mounted in a gritty triangle bag with styrofoam bits in it.
The controller is a basic 36/48v u select 48v be disconnected red wires and I don’t think there’s an output for an LCD.
I extended the cables and sat the controller in a rear Top Peak pannier type case that attaches to the seat post.
I only have fitted a pressure sensor and all I have for monitoring battery level is a cheapy voltmeter.
What should I do here guys?
Should I just fix the wheel and run the battery into the ground and then upgrade?
Or should I get a new KT controller and LCD8S combo and fit that set at 36v if that’s possible until I go to 52v?
Sorry for the long diatribe but I’m ew to all the latest gear, there’s even waterproof plug/play plugs now that I like especially the boxed controllers and unplugable motors!
Pics added for some reference, the bike will be rebuilt/cleaned/tuned/bearings cleaned and regreased etc so like new.
Cheers all.
