    picoBMS - LTC6804 - open source, open hardware build

    So it does finally happen. I couldn't find a useful BMS for the electric kickboard I'm working on - so I'm having a friend of mine build one. Specs are roughly: 38x65mm 0.5a balancing current <= 12S, daisy-chainable, RS485 3 temperature sensors (bleeding, battery pack) MCU EFM32ZG108...

    8mm Gold plug "oxidation"

    So these were on a claimed 10kw RC motor. They look like there was a lot of sparking on the inside but not the contact face. The connectors might have become wet - does that explain it? Since I can't really explain this, maybe someone can elaborate.

    OpenHardware Active BMS

    So me and a friend hacked together this active BMS within a couple of nightly hacksessions and now we're thinking about doing another few iterations and putting up a kickstarter campaign or the like yielding in a reasonable priced open hardware active BMS. First though I wanted to check with...

    constant power output possible?

    Is it possible to get constant power at defined throttle with e.g. a kelly KBS72121L (or other controller) using batteries? (dropping voltage during discharge) If not - do you know of a small enough 1000W DC-DC converter that can achieve the desired constant power to the motor even on half full...

    Dual chainwheel, with freewheel

    Not yet complete, not manufactured, but what do you think of what I came up this weekend? freewheel+bearing: CSK20PP (green, left) needle bearings: HK2516, HK1516 red chainwheel is a cart 219 60 teeth blue chainweel is a triathlon 56 teeth 1/2" x 3/32" I still have to find a way to stop the...

    E-Freeride project - Backfire LRS

    So finally I'm building my first e"bike". I've been reading a lot on es during the last year and was initially aiming for a 125 conversion but now I'm on the way with an e-freerider and with the 125 project pushed to somewhen later I'm getting parts that I will probably be using in the bigger...

    CenterTrack belt system

    I stumbled across and was wondering if it has already been used in an ebike conversion?

    achieve defined voltage from full to empty? LiPo cap BMS?

    black line: typical discharge curve. How can I make use of the red box. I'm finally working on my first electrify project and I want it to have the same driving characteristics from full to empty. Or is the only way to achieve behaviour by having some clever software in the ESC? I acquired 20...

    125cc bike conversion - share your thoughts

    Hello everyone, I got infected reading up on all kinds of pedelec, e-trikes, aircrafts and the like projects. Now I want to build my own one during the next 3 months. I don't know if this has been done before. I think of converting a 125cc 2-stroke bike to an all electric one. If you know of a...
