Just letting you guys know that this problem has finally been solved and a suitable replacement controller found! Since I already had a KT-LCD4, I needed a KT controller. It was quite difficult to find a suitable controller that support sensorless motors (marketed as Dual Mode) AND also has the...

Thanks for the reply. I did some more troubleshooting and in the process managed to destroy the display :shock: (while measuring the battery voltage at the display terminals managed to short Batt+ en Batt-. Small explosion, but the BMS/pack is fine) So now I'm definitely looking for a new...

Hi guys, After a few years absence from e-bike building I'm back on ES once again, trying to remember all sorts of technical Ebike stuff I knew a couple of years ago :confused: I have a 2014 S-pedelec (cheap and obscure brand that doesn't exist anymore) that I bought used in 2018. Since...

That BB type (one separate flanged plastic cup on the non-drive side, and a fixed steel cup on the drive side) is not that unusual for a cartridge bottom bracket. I have the same one on 3 of my bikes. Mounting the PAS on either side is fine, although Left side is easier, as it doesnt require...

I have just received the exact same PAS and have the exact same questions :D Please update us here if you find out how it works. Here are my theories so far: (none actually tested, the bike is not yet ready) -The V shaped head of the sensor would be a clue into the orientation (mount it so...

I agree that the issue with the position of the water bottle mounting points has to be resolved on the BMSbattery site. The very least they can do is provide a detailed drawing showing where the holes are, so you can work out the measurements for yourself. Next to that, a warning about the size...

Found this thread a few weeks ago, just minutes after ordering a Case-08 pack from BMSBbattery. I was slightly fearing that I had bought a fancy paperweight.. My unit arrived yesterday, and I would like to share my experiences. The short version is that I don't think the Case-08 or BMSbattery...

I'm planning to use a Goldenmotor BAC-0281 controller, together with their HBS36R motor and a 48V battery. I don't have any of this hardware yet, so any experiences you guys can provide are most welcome! Since this setup won't be exactly legal (Thanks, EU) I will need some way to limit the...

Thanks again for the useful info! I feel I have learned more in this thread than in weeks of random browsing. Another question: This weekend I was offered a very nice (well, nicer then mine anyway) recumbent by a friend. I am thinking of using this as my project bike. The problem is that it is...

Thanks jesusjesus and cyborg! Very valuable info, especially regarding "real world" range and battery requirements. This is just the sort of thing that you can spend weeks trying to figure out, but never actually know unless you try it. Or, in this case, ask someone on this great forum! I'm...

Great stuff guys, thanks! Will definitely post back here when I have something to show :) One more question: I am now looking at one of the kits from e-mon-shop.de (Thanks for the tip!). They advertise their 36V 750W kit to be able to reach 44- 48 Km/h. Is that number realistic? In that case...

Hi Guys, after some time lurking it is finally time for my first build! Hope to get some good advice from more experienced builders, so here goes: (Sorry for the wall of text, but I just want to provide as much info as possible) The Basics Bike is a rear wheel drive full recumbent, steel frame...
