Thanks for the replies. I'm checking out the Online store now. Ironically I also was looking and researching the Tape which I saw on the ESI site while looking for some new grips. Was wondering as I looked at it if it attracts dirt/dust or repells it. Wonder how it would hold up with the...

I've had the hardshell rectangle case for about half a year now. It's okay. But I also had no problems with the old cases. Something to keep in mind that I didn't consider is the location of the cable exit. As a result this battery doesn't fit quite right in one of my cases because it's too...

Hi, I purchased a Suntour Seat Post from XX Cycle in France about 2 years ago. I forgot to order the Neoprene Cover. I tired to buy one from Suntour USA about a month after I bought one and the wouldn't sell direct and couldn't provide a USA Dealer. So today I went online to contact Suntour...

Update: First Thanks to all replies Took it out for a run... got 7.4 AH then it died. That's half capacity. Charged to 56.57 (Watt Meter). So I'm going to use it as my short trip battery for a while until it drops further then I'll tear it open, check the cells and see if I can work on it...

I just took a front triple off my bike 52 42 32 and replaced it with a raceface Narrow Wide 38T (Largest I could get for a 104BCD Crank). I notice I don't have quite enough top end on the flats to spin with the motor above 18mph with an 11T rear. I think that for street riding around 20mph a...

I rode the original Chrysler Ebike about 15 years ago. Near 80lbs if I remember correctly Designed by Chrysler. Total Dog. Handled poorlly. Old battery tech. Old motor tech. But fun at the time. I now have 3 bikes... electric hub motors. All about 60lbs. That's a nice target weight in...

Hi there, Looking for some advice on how much longer I can expect my 14AH EM3EV 14S5P to last. Background: The battery is about 5 years old. Nearing 300 Charge Cycles. Always keep topped off to about 90% (57.2 Volts) while storing (Perhaps too high?). Always stored inside about 70 degrees...

They might. Thanks. I'll see what I can find. Thanks for the tip.

If you want it to work and you don't want to build it yourself... I can add another +1 for EM3EV (Paul). Hopefully they have their Website issues worked out by now. I recently purchased another pack. The Case is rock solid. The edges of the case are very sharp... so I'm looking for a solution...

The solution to "venting" is to not allow people with limited posting history to post ANY comment until they have contributed in some way... via a delay in response based on join date or via a number of comments. I have dealt with Luna on a very limited basis. My own opinion of the services...

Tadpole. Easiest to convert to hub motor with more powerful options than front hubs, and IMHO easier to handle. A bit low to the ground in Traffic. Might not be a good run to the Grocery Store Option however. Lots and lots... and well lots of manufacturers and models to choose from...

How do you propose connecting them together? They make larger capacity in the same brand. Can't seem to find any real info on the cells. Seems like a reasonable idea, but I don't see a big cost savings. How many amps can you draw continuously? I couldn't find any real info about the...

Why?

Hi, I picked up an EM3EV Rectangle pack. The new design is waterproof (per EM3EV) and looks very durable. The problem is the plastic used to create the enclosure forms some very sharp points at the corners. Sharp enough that I know if it shifts in the bag (Which it fits very tight) it's...

Grin offers these two controllers that I'm considering. Close in price. I know nothing about the AOT460. Assuming I only need 20 Amp... am I making a mistake not buying the 25 Amp to get what I assume (but don't know) are better (Power handing) Mosfets? Or am I totally wrong... perhaps the...
