About the same time this thread was started, give or take. Greenspeed trike, cyclone 650w mid drive and a ping 24v20a. I posted this link viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3921 into another thread around the same time, but the link does not seem to work for me.

Hehe, yeah 8) . I was hunting for my build thread but it seems to have disappeared :/

Did you ever have a play with the bare motor, Miles ?

Dredging up a really REALLY old thread. Haven't been near ES in a couple of years and it is amazing to see how far things have come. I ended up getting a 12V20A block from Ping and have spliced it together with the original 24v20a. I had another look at splitting the pack apart to find the...

Not sure about the hub dimensions, but if you have the $$$, a Rohloff is damn near indestructable. I currently run a SRAM dual drive and have found the internals to be quite delicate.

Time to resurect an old thread. After many delays (Not Ping's fault) I finally have 4 new cells to swap out the slightly dodgy set. Two thumbs up to Ping for taking the effort to diagnose the problem over email and to send replacement cells at no cost to me. :) Since we were stuffing around...

3 wires, heavy current , disappear into the motor windings of a BLDC motor. They would be the individual phase windings. You should also have two heavy gauge wires and a 5 (?) pin connector that leave the motor casing. Battery and throttle connections.

Correct. It is in the fine print

Erm... Ping ?! :) Does the charger still put out voltage ? And does the cooling fan spin ? I have a problem with mine in that the fan does not spin until I give it a nudge. When I found the problem the first time the charger had been running for half an hour or so and was already very hot. I...

Hehe, no worries. Don't forget to add an update in a few weeks once your build has settled down and you have a better feel for it. There is very little long term data available at the moment. Oh, I didn't catch whether you are using the single or double freewheel. If it is the double...

If you have no joy repairing the current throttle you can always fit a standard 3? wire throttle if a replacement Cyclone part is stupidly expensive. You will need to splice the 3 wire throttle onto the Cyclone connector but apart from that, simple. Only down side is you loose the battery...

Mil type connectors are fantastic to work with and can be made with custom pin configurations. I usually just go browsing at work and grab whatever is close enough to do the job :) . Low connection forces, weatherproof and self locking ( depending on the series of connector ) I have not had a...

Hmmm, 5 to the motor has got me stuffed :| . Any chance of some pics ?

Len, follow your nose herefor pricing. DD, please don't take my AWG comment as being excessivley critical, I don't pay for the wiring on my setup so I have always leaned toward oversized wiring :) Just a thought though, if you would change out the feeders for 8 AWG @ 65a, maybe it would be...

mmmmm, carbon :D On my Greenspeed I found the only truly safe option was to fit cleats. With a BB height of around 18" , dropping a foot off the pedals at speed is a recepie for extreme pain. I use Look mountainbike cleats. They look out of place on a road trike but at least I can walk in MTB...
