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

I was referring to the one that comes standard on the new stealths

You can see a photo of it on the North American Stealth site

Oh sorry. It is a simple momentary switch on a small bracket mounted on the lower bolt on the left brake lever. It is quite ok , just wanted to fiddle!!!!!! Sorry havnt got a shot at the moment. I will post one soon

Cool thanks, here's the pic from the stealth usa site for anyone else that's interested. It's quite subtle

Hey Hyena here is a pic of the latest style switch

Sorry QMS

When you asked for the size of the battery I assumed you didn't have a Bomber.

I think what Voicecoils wrote is probably the best idea. The seat post is not going to be the best mounting point! also i didnt realize you wanted to mount a full size Stealth LiFePO4 Battery. Your diagram did not faithfully reflect the size!!!!!!!

[Brute]

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

Mines got something similar . It`s called a throttle

[ManxE]

Does anyone carry a 'Limp-Home' LiPo pack to get you back without murdering yourself when you've been too throttle-happy on your Bomber rides? Setup recommendations would be apreciated if you have!

PS ... We could really do with a Stealth Bikes wiki to collate all this data.

What throttle does the bomber/fighter use ?

I plan on building a LiPo limp home pack as well. Not sure whether I'll go with 15S or 18S at this stage though. Depends on what will fit in my seat-post bag.

I totally agree..a wiki is really needed. Would be good to have a place with every detail/spec on the bikes for reference. Would beat trawling back through this thread all the time.

Yeah...I seem to have a problem with WOTing too much.

The Stealth Google group you can list each topic though its not as robust as the ES software. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgr ... tric-bikes

A half twist hall effect. No idea of the brand.

You can get small sized hardcase pelican cases, which allot of DIY'ers mount to their handle bars. you can easily fit an extra 500wh on the front, and have it look pretty subtle too. like a smaller version of this....

I did a Aux pack for a mates fighter like this. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23996&hilit=kepler&start=913

Good for about 20km easy riding. I also have a handlebar setup which holds 500Whrs using one of these http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34165&start=105

Went on an epic ride this arvo, to the Kurnell cliffs. 82.6km round trip







I was only running at about 400w most of the time, but did have a bit of a full power blast round the bush whilst I was there as well. Some really nice little tracks through there, Hyena, you should check em out
For those who don't know Kurnell is about here.
I live in Hurlstone Park, about here.
Anyway, it was an epic trip and the longest I've done yet on the Fighter. Just goes to show, take it easy and you can get some decent distance on these things.


Now I know this is gonna sound wrong, but here goes anyway.
Do you need to lube or grease your Schlumpf regularly?

Mines sounding really squeaky when running in high speed gear. Kinda like a bird chirping high pitched.

Cheers

[Justtoby]

I do not think the schlumpf needs any servicing, I have just taken one out and it is pretty much left as a sealed unit although it does, of course, come apart.

Might be worth speaking to John at the aus factory and see what he and schlumpf recommend.

The good thing is that as long as you have the correct puller it is an easy job to take out, not too sure I would want to strip and rebuild without a service manual though although it must be pretty simple in there.

[Rix]

There a little plug on the inside of the Schlumpf. Should be white or silver. Schlumpf recommends changing the oil/re-greasing 2 two times a year. The noise may becoming from foreign debris or old coagulated grease.

That is some great range CD. That is a very respectable average speed too for that sort of economy.

Looks like your regen was worth 2km in total. Doesn't sound like much but try pushing the 2 km not much fun. Also I am tipping you didn't use your hyrdo's much on the ride so thats a good thing too.

Would be good to see what sort of economy others have managed to squeeze out of their bikes backed up with a similar set photos.

Hi Rix,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for the info on the Schlumpf.

[Rix]

Kepler,
Thanks for the welcome. I have a Figther enroute to Nevada. Can't wait to get it. Will be hitting lake tahoe as soon as the snow melts. I went to Schlumpf website and found the service reqs. It doesn't reference miles or kilometers for the service intervals, only once to twice a year. I am thinking about using Royal Purple gear oil. Super slick stuff, last 3 times longer than other oils. Let me know what you find out about your 2 Speed crank noise.

[Rix]

Does the figthers and bombers use the same hub motor for 2012?

Many Australian owners on this post, I'm from Perth would be good to have a look at one rather that going all the way to Melbourne. Regards Rodney

Hi Rodney64. I am in Adelaide and am also the S.A. rep for Stealth Electric Bikes and have a Bomber for demo purposes, i know this doesn't help much! but is a little closer then Melbourne.
