    50 miles on first build . . . think I need advice on second

    Thanks, DA Amberwolf helped me figure out the problem in another thread. I hadn't set the shunt resistance in my CA y, so the CA was interpreting my amps as much higher than they actually were. When the faulty amp reading went over 50 (the max A setting in my CA) the CA would regulate the...

    Understanding frames for a 20" bike

    At that speed I don't see suspension as a great need. Large pneumatic tires will give you plenty of suspension. Cheap suspension systems will give you exactly what you pay for. Large tires that are not overinflated will offer a good ride at 15mph. There is a misconception that overinflated...

    What does this hub noise indicate? (video)

    Yeah, I feel like an idiot, but the problem is fixed. Amp reading in CA was distorted b/c I never set the shunt resistance. CA was modulating when I was over the maxamps threshold, causing the herky-jerkiness. I think on the initial setup when I came to Advanced Settings. I thought "Advanced...

    Installing Power Button on Contoller

    My eZee controller doesn't have an on/off switch so I get a "pop" when I connect my battery. It doesn't seem like this is good for the connectors. The metal inside the Andersons is getting charred. I assume since the Infineons have a power switch this is a desirable feature. I was thinking an...

    What does this hub noise indicate? (video)

    Oh yeah, I know. Aside from installing some plugs, my kit has been plug and play. I'll check shunt calibration and monkey w/ CA setting so see what happens.

    What does this hub noise indicate? (video)

    Unfortunately, no. First build. I do plan on going to a 35A Infineon soon, but I don't have one in yet.

    What does this hub noise indicate? (video)

    Hmmm. Voltage stays fairly consistent but stuttering only happens when A goes over 50. It then will drop to 45ish, then back to 53ish, and back and forth until I back off the throttle or the grade flattens out. I have a 25A controller with CA set to 50A for the maxamps setting. The fact that A...

    What does this hub noise indicate? (video)

    When my motor is under a lot of strain I get the noise in the video below accompanied by what I can best describe as motor power "pulsing" rather than a steady pull. If I back off the throttle the motor smooths out. Happens on flats and hill. Setup is eZee front hub in a large diameter front...

    50 miles on first build . . . think I need advice on second

    Not patient enough for that. My Husqvarna and gear fit nicely on my Dummy. Cutting firewood is its second job.

    50 miles on first build . . . think I need advice on second

    My right thumb is what gives me the most problems, the way the wire exits the thumb throttle makes it look like a left hand installation would be awkward. The cruise control mod looks fairly straight forward even though I've never done anything like that. Jumper wire soldered btwn. the "CR" pad...

    Noob questions

    Hello Duncmac, I'm also new but I have one bit of advice since I also live at the top of a big hill (412ft. elevation gain). I figured the average grade of my climb and plugged in into the simulator, but I didn't figure out the grade of the shorter, steep sections, which are in places just...

    50 miles on first build . . . think I need advice on second

    I was more curious if bowlofsalad had in mind a production frameset I wasn't aware of--just out of curiousity. Despite bowl's vivid imagination I'm hardly convinced the bike is a kinder-deathtrap. OK, this makes sense. The simulator says I could pop in a 35A controller and not overheat fully...

    Connector Difficulty

    I had to replace the 5 pin JST's on my first build. If I had to do it again I might butt splice in new connectors, but I'm stubborn and wanted to learn to do it. I ordered 3 sets of housings and pins and I think I destroyed 2 or 3 male and female pins. The placement on the pin in the crimper...

    "MaxAmps" Setting in CA

    I wasn't sure about this when setting up my CA and left it at the default 50A setting. My battery amp specs are: Rated Discharging Amperage: 20 Amps Max Continuous Discharging Amperage: 40 Amps Maximum Discharging Current: 60 Amps Discharging Cut-off Protection: 40-50 Amps How does the...

    50 miles on first build . . . think I need advice on second

    Thanks, lots of ideas. My biggest concern is that I will damage the motor, though it doesn't seem to get hot at all. It just sounds like it is straaaaaining. But I assume if it were being overworked it would get hot, no? As long as I'm not doing anything to damage the motor my main concern is...
