My understanding is that protect is triggered by leakages across phases or resistance changes. Assuming your motor is compatible (eg I got protect with a revolt 160 short) You may want to check your phase and hall wires to ensure no short, cracked insulation or interference etc. Suggest pay...

I fear the signs may be about to become more specific noting ACT Policing is part of the Australian Federal Police. http://www.policenews.act.gov.au/news/media-releases/police-investigate-serious-cyclist-collision-fadden

Larsb, your motor woes sound similar to my 160 short so am keen to try your encoder route. Can you advise the version of the rmc22 you are running as there are a heap of options when you go to order (eg. I assume 7 pole pairs?). Thanks heaps as I thought I had hit a brick wall and have been...

NMH there is heaps of info on the forum on how to do this. My 2 second quick and nasty advice (no special tools required) is mark your side covers with respect of hub so you can assemble in exactly same rotation and side. They like to go back the same way else they can rub. Next remove screws...

Hi all, Can I ask the collective wisdom of the forum if anyone has any issues with intermitant power losses with their adaptto's? Its a little strange but my max-e (its an early model) paired with the MXUS has recently started to make a strange grinding noise accompanied with power loss at...

Sounds like an awesome plan so count me in. Managed to knock this up in between looking after my son this afternoon so just have to weld to frame and done. Even managed to find some time to order some additional sprockets so I can try some more ratios. Was running 5:1 (12T,60T) but am keen to...

With Hyena in town there are no excuses for broken bikes. Got some unscheduled repair time in today (son was sick so had to leave work early) so suspension should be sorted this weekend. Ended up moving the rear mounting position a bit to experiment with suspension geometry. Doubtful I will...

Been a while so time for an update. After having no end of issues trying to get the revolt to run properly with the adaptto I ended up switching to a lyen 18 fet I had laying around. It worked much better than the adaptto which kept suffering from protection interruptions but while top end...

The mini-e was reaching temp limits and reducing power when having fun on 20S. Motor temp wasn't an issue so I'd suggest the midi would be a good match.

Unlike my revolt the bht worked well with my mini-e but would recommend the mid or max.

Toolman, I'd be happy to lend my 160short if that helps the cause. Looks like we are on the same continent at least. Also, what controller are you using on your joby? Is there a build thread for your bike? Loved the videos.

Hi all, At the risk of repeating comments in my build page I have been struggling to get my RV160 short to perform to its performance specs so I thought I would pen some notes here as they may be applicable for the RV120. For those struggling with adaptto controllers I would strongly...

Lash, how goes your travel around Oz? Dual chain works well but you have to contend with the cogging effort of the motor as it remains direct drive. Once your moving it is surprisingly easy for both the big block and revolt. Would love a freewheel which could accept a 35pitch chain but am yet...

Hey, does anyone know what triggers 'PROTECT' mode? Ive found a few references to it but no definitive definition short of speculation around temp. My revolt 160 short keeps cutting out under hard acceleration (nothing over 9kw) predominately at low speed with 'PROTECT' briefly displaying...

Hi all, The bike has clocked up some k's with the Big Block and have been very happy with it. Only issue is that it lacks that top end punch and speed of my mxus powered phaser. So after some 16 weeks of waiting (sea freight to Australia) my Revolt 160 short finally turned up. Out of the box...
