Is your Sparrow the one from that, um, Z place in Santa Rosa? They had a burgundy jellybean there but I didn't look under the covers when I was in their warehouse.

Alan, love the cap! Help me with scale though…is that, what, 10" long? It would look awesome on your Borg I might add. Ross

Nice tadpole John!

I recently got my 20-cell BMS connected, bought from Cell-Man last year, and it's working great on 30AH HiPowers. One cell stays a bit high at 3.8x V but all others are solid at 3.6V at charger cut-off; I suspect the cell rather than the BMS?? Shunt current max is a mere 80ma, so get dem cells...

I'm considering a Vict order once I find a good 76-cell BMS solution to use with them. I'm looking at 80-100 cells to end-up with some spares, and would like to hit the 500 qty to get the slight price cut, but not a deal killer. I'm not interested in re-shipping since the Federal Regs have...

FYI: wanted to mention there is another two-speed crank option, from SRAM; the Hammerschmidt , available in two ratios; cable-shift rather than heel-shift, and unlike Schlumpf, gearing is 'external' to BB. I'm seeing Wholesale prices around US$428-470 Haven't used personally since you need the...

How can I use brake cutouts to enable Regen on an infineon(Lyen) 6-FET, rather than use the "Throttle Roll-off" Regen? Is one of the Regen enable leads just waiting to be grounded to enable? more complicated? Thanks Ross

Ok, 100km...at what speed?

Spacey, so you're the reason they castrated the controllers... ;) Yeah, the Pies were such a simple solution for so many applications, and just, well, quite wonderful at 48V and just 25 Amps. It was also pretty nice to "lose the box" with it inside the hub. I quite often ran my 235Lb ass at 48V...

We seem to be seeing a 15.5A max limit on the recent magic pie controllers, both internal and external. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe a poor attempt to limit speed to 20mph at 48V we're guessing? Re-programming with their software has no effect over 30A max continuous; we set at 30A and we get...

Thanks, yeah, I understand. Unfortunately, looking for immediate cost and time savings. Have considered 2PxS 40AH CALB's, as per Radio Dave in Lake County, but requires fiberglass cut and paste, so trying to keep it simple, to get it rolling as my 10-mile RT commuter NOW rather than have it...

Looking to re-load the Corbin Sparrow without breaking the bank, so want to go Lead-Acid. Are the Yellow Tops still the best choice, or are there other equivalent less expensive, or just plain better options out there now? Thanks VeloV

I saw them at Interbike and they looked like a nice, clean build. Very High-End booth as I recall, flashy even. Didn't ride them there though. Good, intelligent, basic tech. information in their dealer book/catalog inspired confidence as well. I'll be receiving some select models for the shop in...

note: on Zephyr 4.4 24ch LiFePo BOM Rx01 says "48.7K for LiFePo" but has 73.2K in part number row for Rx01 just want to verify it should be 48.7K for LiFePo thanks, Ross
