    http://www.electricmotorsport.com/ev-parts/motors/brushless-motors/enertrac-mhm602-brushless-10kw-hub-motor.html Probably worth adding to the list.

    building a cargo e-bike for my kiddo

    I'd just get/make an electric bicycle to your liking and add a trailer, probably far cheaper and quicker this way. There are tons of used kid trailers available, but this idea is already readily available for much less than what you'd probably end up spending otherwise. When you aren't hauling...

    idea for go-baby-go button

    What is being said pretty much fits the bill, I'd just make it so whatever battery/controller combo you were using already could provide the maximum power you'd want without the unusual configuration. What I've used a lot of the time on electric bicycles are three speed switches that limit the...

    actual 18650 cell anode end dimensions

    I wouldn't be surprised if I misunderstand, but I am saying that when they say this they might be referring to a flat top cell, the picture of the cell looks like a button top cell and a cell seems like it can sometimes come in either version.

    actual 18650 cell anode end dimensions

    Great question and one I've sort of asked myself. So far as I know there are two types of tops, button and flat. It honestly looks like that is an image of a protected cell or something, on the left or top of that cell there is a smaller segment of rectangle which might be a protection PCB...

    New Kelly pseudo FOC controller series

    Thanks for the response. How I understand it is the way FOC works is that it mostly uses the sensorless measurement back electrocmagnetic field (BEMF) for motor commutation. BEMF is supposed to be a very accurate and faster way to get rotor position. But, if a controller isn't using BEMF then...

    New Kelly pseudo FOC controller series

    Can these controllers do sensored start and sensorless operation? Can these controllers sensorless start and sensorless operation?

    How to undo a stuck round thing?

    Great suggestion. To add to this, to gain or increase leverage a way to do is to lengthen the arm of the tool you use to apply force, this is often done easily with a piece of round or square steel tubing, that is how I do it at least. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhuxbqCUxnA

    CHEAP NEW ORIGINAL 18650 21700 BATTERY CELLS, POUCHES AND PACKS

    What I think he is saying is his supplier will find this advertisement and increase his pricing for some reason, I wonder if the fear isn't being removed as a middle man, these are best case scenarios to me.

    To tumich, Instead of typing out SANYO NCR18650GA you use an image hosted on photobucket.com. Why do you do this?

    Most silent geared hub motor?

    I did some direct comparison of a few direct drive hub motors trapazoidally driven and a Q100h FOC (field oriented control) driven using a BAC500+ as the controller and the Q100h was louder by a fair amount, no contest. However, when using FOC on the Q100h it was indeed quieter than when using...

    9800mAh 18650s. I want to troll this guy so bad.

    Do itttt! Buy an insanely huge quantity of whatever they claim is their maximum capacity, do a series of discharge tests proving you are measuring a fraction of what they promised, get a full refund per aliexpress policy. Get them to guarantee some degree of capacity if possible. I totally...

    The SB Cruiser : Amberwolf's 2WD Heavy Cargo Trike & Dog Carrier

    Is it possible to expand the carrying capacity of your trailer and add a hitch to CB2 (I am assuming you haven't already added the hitch)? If nothing else, you might do this in the near future to protect yourself against this sort of issue.
