Not sure if you have one yet, but a website would be great. It's hard to keep up with all of your stuff on the forum!

I'm following this one closely! I was inspired by your first creation, and will probably build something similar soon. Please keep us posted, we appreciate following your reports. Dave

It's nice to see another Kona Smoke rider here. I'm anxious to see your progress! Here's mine: http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5328

It was a bit expensive, but it was a small price for me to pay for the peace of mind I got. 5 year warranty, safe-durable design, potential resale value and easy replacement. Plus, I never run out of power on my home improvement projects! :)

Looks good! I mounted my batteries and controller in panniers to lower the center of gravity. Maybe you could do the same? http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5328 Dave

Anderson rates their products for industrial purposes. Dean rates for the hobby market. The two are not created equal. Look at some of the hobby ESCs and their outlandish ratings compared to something like a Sevcon or Curtis ESC. I've pushed 100+ amps through the PP30s before with no ill...

Thanks for the help Rick. The problem is that I have it wired exactly as you indicated, and it doesn't work. The problem is that it seems that just shorting the ON/OFF pin to Vin(-) doesn't work. I have to sort of "tease" the wires together so they just barely contact for it to turn on...

Hello, I have a Tyco QW050b1 DC to DC converter that I'm trying to use for my headlight (datasheet here: http://www.part-datasheets.com/data/qw050b1.pdf ) I'm having trouble with the remote switching option, and I could use some help. The datasheet says the following: Remote On/Off...

Hi Justin, Thanks for the input. The -38W shows up only when there is a load on the converter. Otherwise it's 0W. I played with it a bit and found that the Wattage figure is actually quite variable, depending on any number of strange things (if I'm touching the converter, if it's on a...

Hi all, I just added a DC to DC converter on my bike to power my 12V headlight with my 56V batteries. I have it wired up and it works, but the CA shows -38W instead of 38W being used. Any idea what's up? I have it wired after the CA shunt, just like my motor controller (which shows the...

So you mean I short R18 and R19 together on the left side, and attach the CA TH wire there? See my attached image for clarity...

Can you show me where you added the CA speed control wiring? I have the same controller with a CA, but haven't done it yet. Thanks!

It looks like a slightly modified EV Global bike to me. If it's the stock motor, it's a brushed, geared Heinzmann. I'm running mine at 56V and it tops out at 24mph and has torque like a diesel truck! The price is good.

I've tried 2 local bike shops with no luck. They have 210mm, and then like 250+. The spoke broke at the threads in the nipple, not at the hub. johnrobholmes, can you give me a quote for say 5 or 10 spokes shipped to 02180? Thanks, Dave

Hi all, I broke a spoke on my wheel, and I need a replacement. I think it's 215mm, but I'm not positive. It's a 26" wheel with a Heinzmann 36V hub motor from an EVG bike. Anybody know where I can get some? Thanks, Dave
