    Field trip to powervelocity a.k.a. Vad's house.

    Update: Running the controller at 4kw peak on a 18s pack and it's very quick. much faster response from this than my adappto which is weird. when adappto is set to 6kw peak, and this one set to 4kw, PowerVelocity's controller is more powerful. Which would seem to indicate it's more efficient...

    Field trip to powervelocity a.k.a. Vad's house.

    Hi all, I like vector and really enjoy my vector/adaptto bike, but I was intrigued by powervelocity's inexpensive Bluetooth enabled sine wave controllers. And as luck would have it he lives near my dad in Sacramento California so I stopped by to say hello, and take his controller (and entire...

    Need help to choose my new controller

    For any motor more VoLTs 2"will give a higher top speed assuming unlimited amps. More amps will give faster acceleration, same top speed for the same voltage. I don't know that scooter, but the first thing i did is ditch sla for lithium. Lighter is faster Also less voltage sag is faster...

    Salvage "older" 18650 cells from laptops.

    No, don't get them. Used mixed cells will go out of balance quick and be a pita to charge. Also laptop cells are not high c rated so you'd have a big low output pack. I got 40 laptop and tried it. Huge amount of work for little reward, not worth. It even for free imo.

    ADAPTTO Controllers - new functions discussion

    Great product! easy switch between profiles. profile would be all settings. ie eco/normal/boost settings/battery settings/throttle and motor settings. so you can swap between bikes/ chargers/users etc. controller temp on main page, or configure what data is on front page. phone integration and...

    recomendation for a 75v-->12v buck converter?

    That would be perfect. Searched wall wart buck and got the answers I needed. And I have dozens of spares at work. Thanks a bunch!

    recomendation for a 75v-->12v buck converter?

    hi all, I stepped up my voltage from 48v to 66-75v and need a good buck(step down) converter to get the voltage down to useable levels-12ish volts. All the pre-made modules I can find top out at 60v, anyone know a good one that can handle higher input voltages?

    Please help me find the gremlin : /

    seconded on checking cell balance. is the pack sealed up or can you read the per cell voltage? if you can check per cell, ensure that they are all the same. mine are 4.21 4.20 4.19 4.20, etc, when i'm done charging, and 3.44 3.45 3.43 3.44 etc when I'm done. This is a pretty good sign that your...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Cowardlyduck and ridethelightening, Thanks guys, very helpful! I'll test both of those. Under power profiles how to you get ---? I can only get the lowest or highest setting. I spent 4 hours last night reading both this entire thread- 130 pages of it! And the adapt to manual from their...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Got my Mini E working finally! Does anyone know if it's supposed to be slow to throttle up? for example, I open the throttle up from a standstill and I get 4a, then 7, then 10, then 20, then 30a over about 5-10 seconds. it's smooth as silk, but i'd like it to just go wide open on me. That...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Artur is helping me via PM. looks like red/green are power, but I accidentally hit the chassis. as you said, keep them isolated, as it's just a loop to provide power to the brains of the unit. I'll follow up once I get things more figured out.

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    tried green/red. they were hot at 45v. just blew about a half inch off the red wire. so, I'm guessing that's not the on/off. my controller doesnt have anything that looks like the on/off on your's. I'll get a photo...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    HI guys, I'm a new Mini-e owner, trying to get the darn thing to work. I plugged in motor, hals, screen, throttle, and batteries- 45v. I get nothing on the screen. the diagram on their page shows a power on/off switch, but I don't see any wires for on/off? there's a 4 wire PAS sensor, and a...
