will the controller control two motors?...and also the CA??? oh and whose ass was that by seats?.....are there any girls on this board?.....

[Hyena]

saw this on some computer looked like it was designed around stealth type bike

How do you arrive at that conclusion ? Are you looking for an excuse to post in this thread ??

Hello all!!! I was just curious to see how many miles other stealth riders have put on there bombers or fighters. I'll go first, I'm at 2000miles in about eight months.

Ps I'm bomber #36

I've only had mine about 4 months. Already put over 1500km on it.

Figher #66.

Cheers

HMMM THOUGHT MAYBE THATS HOW THEY DID TWO WHEEL DRIVE
No

HOPE THIS revision makes sense I told him he was wrong he re did it....hmmm I have seen a two hub bicycle though

Here is few pics of micro switch controlled re-gen brake setup!

I ride my e-bike in the rain a lot and was using one micro switch for regen and one for cruise. They aren't very waterproof as they both acted up in the first storm. Second storm the regen one gave out and I had to switch it for the cruise (while stopped under an overpass out of the rain). I stopped using them soon after.

I switched to brake levers with built in regen switch (not an option with hydraulic brakes). And a throttle with built in button for cruise. Haven't had them on long enough to know how they will hold up to the elements though.

Hi Gary. Thought about heatshrinking the switch eventually, just an experiment at this stage. Wanted to see how riding styles and different braking situations worked. Sorry to hear you are not a Stealth owner,i hope you are trying to remedy this!

Is there a Bomber owner here thats handy with metal that could make me a battery box for a 2nd battery? My aluminum rack does not last more than 500 miles with an extra 25 lb battery on it. On long trips I run both in parallel.

I was thinking maybe it could mount on the seat post but be below the seat on an angle to get the weight lower as well but it would need to clear the wheels travel. If it cant be made that way a steel stronger rack would do.

I'll "try" to draw a picture

If interested please contact me name your price...I'm not looking for cheap....thanks

Hi Paul G. Was looking at your diagram! Definitely doable , the weight on the seat post and clearing the rear wheel travel concerns me a little though. was thinking a steel cornered frame with aluminium side panels with some cut outs for ventilation. Might be able to clear the wheel travel by elongating the enclosure a little. I am able to bolt this assembly together only as i dont have a welder yet! but if i was doing this for myself i would bolt it anyway. If you could supply battery dimensions (H W D) of TWO preferred configerations i will try to come up a design, this will include room for padding seat clamp and wiring exit port. cheers Linc.

Discovered a cool trick the other day...thought I would share.

I got my power limit wires on the CA set to 250W at the factory. I've since installed a switch to control this, posted previously in this thread.

I discovered that the power limit was only 250W when the CA max amps was set to 60. If I set the CA to 47 max amps it would limit it to 200W when the power limit button is pressed, which I find useful for very slow conservative cruising for long distance.
Therefore, I assumed the power limit in the CA must only be a percentage of the max amps set. So the other day I tried setting the CA to max amps of 85. This gave me roughly 360W with the power limit button pressed.
The battery BMS does the job of limiting the Max amps draw to 60 still. I also tried 99amps and this gives me roughly 420W.
This is HEAPS useful for long distance off road riding. as I can use it in limited mode (at 420W) most of the time, then flick to full power when I need to get up a hill.

I would love to get a 3 or 4 mode switch eventually so I can easily flick between power modes, but that's a long way off at this stage as I have other priorities in terms of modding the bike for now.

Anyway, just thought id share.

Cheers

You're better off changing the Aux threshold Leave the Amp limit alone

Oh...lol, wondered if there might be an easier way.
Haven't looked yet, but what values would I set the AUX threshold to? Is it just a simple wat or amp value?

[full-throttle]

Lower whatever value you got there (0.65 for Aus) to increase the limit, if you hit 0 and still want more increase the Amp limit

What would you know?

Just a minor correction. It would have been the controller's current limit stopping the current going any higher, not the BMS. Its a good point of discussion though and something I am sure will be used by others.

You could use a sealed micro switch

Hey Full-throttle! Yes i could, and probably will if i am happy happy with the way it works in the long run!!!!!!!! Found this link!

I have a seperate button on mine that I activate with my thumb, I actually mainly just use it and the front brakes when slowing down and the back brake largely for skidding! It seems to lock up very easy with the knobbies

And hooray for page 100. I'm going to get the mods to delete knoxies posts seeing as he doesn't actually own a stealth

Yeah, I do the same. I think that button comes standard on new Stealth's now. I really like it, as it allows you to control everything independently.

Hi C D. Yes it is standard on new Stealth's! When riding with gloves on it can be hard to locate the button sometimes. I wanted an automatic activation method. By being auto it also increases the re-gen percentage on an average ride

[Hyena]

Got a picture QMS ? I have a seperate motorcycle switch cluster on mine. The button I use is normally the horn.

Hi Hyena. See page 98 for my micro switch set up! The Honeywell site also has some great switches and clusters

Thanks for the offer but I want a Bomber owner as they will need to make sure it clears the wheel travel and I would want it welded steel. Also Bomber battery's don't need cooling holes as that run cool.

Hi Paul G. I AM A STEALTH BOMBER OWNER and the South Australian rep for Stealth Electric Bikes! In my experience the batterys get quite warm when charging! Sorry i couldnt help

I think it might be a good idea to get the battery box welded to a steel seatpost itself. It's a lot of mass to have cantilevered off an aluminium/carbon seatpost.

Maybe you should ride out to Enertrac on Long Island with your Bomber Paul and see if they'll fabricate one for you. 30-35miles away from you. They have a really nice workshop and Mark's super enthusiastic about 2 wheeled EVs.
