    RECUMBENT WITH MID DRIVE ??

    I've built two LWB recumbents with front hub motors, one for me and one for my GF. One has an Ezee motor from Grin and the other an 8Fun bought from bmsbattery in China. Both have been quite reliable after several thousand miles (7000 on mine according to the Cycle Analyst, fewer on hers but as...

    Travel charger?

    If anyone's interested I bought this charger and used it at home for several weeks before taking it on a recent 500 mile tour. I carried it in a pannier on the sprint brace of my Fold Rush recumbent. This bike has a little bit of rear suspension and the pannier mounted on the sprint brace is...

    Combine volt amp and Ah meter for USD $15

    I ordered two of these - couldn't resist at the price. They arrived sometime last week while I was out of town - no box, no manual, just wrapped in bubble wrap. They are marked "VAM9020" which may mean 90V 20 A but I don't know for sure. I've just hooked one up between the battery and the motor...

    bmsbattery kit installed on recumbent

    Thanks miuan - I've checked the spokes and they seem OK - will check them again after 100 miles or so - my two Ezee kit wheels both required some minor tweaking after the first 100 or 200 miles so I expect the same will apply here. Also thanks for your previous post regarding the shunts in the...

    bmsbattery kit installed on recumbent

    I've just finished setting up my GF's bike, an EZ-3 LWB recumbent, with a kit purchased from bmsbattery last month. This is a front wheel hub motor in 20" (406) size. Judy Liu of bmsbattery didn't seem to be familiar with the 406mm designation for 20" rims (as opposed to the 451mm which is also...

    Travel charger?

    I'm looking for a charger to carry with me on an upcoming tour - it will be used to charge an Ezee LiMn 14Ah battery while staying in motels. Daily usage of the battery pack will probably be less than 50% capacity - I use the motor as an assist while I provide most of the power myself. Is anyone...

    Using light power output from Cycle Analyst question.

    Before I installed my lights I wondered whether the CA would correctly show the power used by the lights so I emailed Justin and asked. Turned out that with the Ezee controllers the internal shunt is wired so that the CA will not show the power drawn from the aux output - I don't remember the...

    BMSBattery 20" rim size?

    After a few emails from Judy Liu and the responses here I'm confident that the rim size is 406 so will go ahead with the order. Some confusion arose from the first email response that stated that their 20" rim measured 365mm not 406mm. But the next email stated that that was the ERD or Effective...

    BMSBattery 20" rim size?

    I've placed an order with BMSBattery for a front motor setup with a 20" rim - I stated in the order that I needed the ISO 406mm rim and they responded that their 20" rims are 365mm, not 406. Has anyone bought a 20" front driving wheel from them? What size did they send? thanks, John

    Liability Insurance?

    Have you got all that in writing? I'm curious whether they would be willing to sell you uninsured motorist coverage - did you ask about that? I have a few friends who don't have driver's licenses and have not been able to find uninsured motorist coverage to protect themselves while riding their...

    Revelate Tangle Bag

    Never thought to take a picture of it - maybe next time I have my camera out. I haven't been caught out in the rain yet - I live in a desert. Looks like it would be OK but I can't say for sure.

    Revelate Tangle Bag

    I've been using a Revelate Designs Tangle frame bag to hold an Ezee 14ah 36V battery pack for about 6 months now. I ordered the bag directly from Revelate after an email exchange with the owner confirming that the bag would probably be large enough to hold the battery. It is, with some room to...
