    Deal on motors/wheels

    Mine arrived yesterday. They were packed with too much white space (air) in the box. That caused them to jumble around quite a bit but everything arrived completely in tact. The hub motors got scratched a bit. For the price, I'm not concerned. Two tires are like new with little nubbies left on...

    Deal on motors/wheels

    Has anyone received any tracking numbers or items from this deal? I placed my order on the 15th. I’ve received a couple of emails about the connectors and sorry for the delay. No tracking or shipping info yet and no response to an email I sent a day or two ago. I’m thinking of calling the number...

    What eBike kit to get for my Electra Townie 21D?

    48v Ying Chen is the way to go. It only does 20mph but it gets there fast. It's an xofo cassette geared hub motor(comparable to a bafang bpm) and has a super nice LCD computer. They have 3 different prices depending on how long of a warranty you want. I opted for no warranty and couldn't be...

    What eBike kit to get for my Electra Townie 21D?

    Hi and welcome to the forums! 1. If the 21d has from suspension then yes I would recommend a rear with at least 1 torque arm. I would use 2 because they're cheaper than a messed up frame or worse. 2. For 20 miles on a 1000w direct drive kit, a 15ah ping should be good. 20ah is better and worth...

    Thoughts or Info on Brushless Gearless Mini Hub Motor CST

    Hi, I wanted to post up and see if anyone has ordered or used one of these yet. I've seen the Bafang geared CST motors but this is the first time I've seen a direct drive CST compatible rear hub motor. I'm thinking of running it at 48v and possibly 40A (Hua Tong) on a hard tail MTB for offroad...

    Literature on Bestgo LiFePO4 batteries?

    Help identifying small direct drive hub motor.

    I just realized that I forgot to say thank you to the both of you. Thank you!!! :mrgreen: You guys rule. I agree, it is a Q around an S so I think you're right, it's a QS. It also seems very similar to the Crystalyte 40 series. I haven't run it yet so I'm not sure of the performance. It...

    ElectricRider or Ping Battery?

    I had a very good experience with electric rider on a charger and bms. The charger is still working strong and so is the bms. I had some questions on how to wire the bms properly. They responded to all my emails and then asked me to call to speak to their tech. I called and he answered all my...

    Help identifying small direct drive hub motor.

    Hi, I picked up a bike off craigslist thinking it was a larger geared hub like a bafang BPM. I opened it up this morning and to my surprise it's a small direct drive. I couldn't believe my eyes. It's a front hub, no disk adapter, wires thru the axle, and has silver covers with some numbers...

    Bargain wheel set with nexus 8 speed & hub motor

    Hi Deadmul3, Yes, I did get them hooked up. I just matched the color for color on the CON62 controller for both the hall sensors and the phase wires. I know that the CON62 controller won't work without the hall sensors connected properly. The KU65 is supposed to work with or without the hall...

    Help with CON62 250w controller from greenbikekit.com

    I just realized I never followed up on this one. The CON62 that I have does indeed work with the LED meter while not using the PAS. The sensor wires are required though. My wire colors match perfectly with a bafang, I think swxb. After getting my throttle wires matching, I found my second...

    Help with CON62 250w controller from greenbikekit.com

    It sounds like your red wire in the throttle is shorted to the signal wire. Are you able to try a different throttle? Or, could you use a meter to see if they're shorted on the throttle you have?

    New to E-Bikes and working on new build

    Welcome to the forums. It sounds like your on a good track for a budget build. Once you get it all together please report back on the speed you get with that Yescomusa.com rear 1000w kit and the 48v Ping LiFePo4. I'm considering something similar. You'll read a lot of people recommend full...

    Sad Day for ebikes in New york state

    I can't believe this. Instead of embracing the technology and supporting a more efficient form of transportation, they're banning it? That's so sad!

    Bargain wheel set with nexus 8 speed & hub motor

    My pack is 12ah. I've only ridden it to and from work a few times so far. I've done maybe 30 miles or so. Each way is 5 miles, I ride mostly wide open throttle with several stops and one huge downhill and one huge up hill both ways. I charge at work. I've been averaging about 2.75ah each 5...

    Headway batteries advice

    Thank you for such a fast response Jimmie. And thank you for trying to deliver the accurate information. Based on the manufacturer graphs that you did post, it looks like at 3c and 5c they do perform near capacity. 10c sustained does seem to be too much. What do you expect you'll find with...

    Bargain wheel set with nexus 8 speed & hub motor

    My best guess based on the performance I'm getting is the Cute Q100 328r. The simulator shows that motor on a 700c wheel going 21.2 mph on 36v (12s) LiFe using a custom 14A controller. Real world using my RC watt meter and phone GPS with a 36v 12s LiFeP04 12ah battery I get right about...

    Headway batteries advice

    For whatever it's worth here's what I have to add and want to know about on this thread. Yes, LiFePo4 cells have some level of sag. If you put together a 12s pack and the operating voltage is 36v after sag, then you have a 36v pack. Why are you expecting a 41v pack with 12s? This doesn't...

    Hey guys, check this out. Never seen this before.

    They posted in San Diego Craigslist too. I emailed about pricing and they emailed right back if I was interested in a quantity or just one. When I replied just one they haven't bothered to respond. Seems funny that they're looking for quantity sales by posting discount/closeout ads on the...

    What if it's sitting for a week or two between rides. Is it better for it to sit fully charged?
