    Torque Sensor Questions

    Anyone have any thoughts on THUN vs TDCM torque sensors? I see that the TDCM sensor has some problems(http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37964&start=2075#p872023). To be fair, this appears to be a problem with the THUN sensor as well. Are there any established resolutions to...

    MAC 10T vs EZee V2

    Thanks for all the replies. FWIW, the eZee kit ends up being about $400 (incl shipping to USA) more expensive than the MAC kit. That might be considered the price of the slightly improved performance. Also, I'd like to state that my goal is not to steal the thunder from either vendor. I have...

    MAC 10T vs EZee V2

    Inspired by teklektik's post, I decided to do a more in-depth simulator based analysis of the MAC 10T vs the eZee V2 motor. Here are my results so others can refer to it. It appears that the eZee V2 250rpm motor beats the MAC 10T hands down in all metrics. All measurements were done using the...

    MAC 10T vs EZee V2

    Wow! That's a fantastic answer! It should be sticky-ed or something. I really did learn a lot about how to interpret the results of the simulator from it. Thanks! I'm going to take a bit to interpret the numbers and play around with the simulator to decide which one I want. I'll update on my...

    MAC 10T vs EZee V2

    Hi Raged, Thanks for your reply. I've looked at your build before - very inspiring, indeed! Especially because I'm planning on having a setup very similar to yours. I've read about quite a few builds using the MAC, and have learnt that it'd be a really good fit. Though, I'm also wanting to get...

    Torque Sensor Questions

    I would like to fit my ebike conversion with a torque sensor and eliminate throttle entirely. I want to use my bike for exercise as well, so I'm thinking about getting rid of the throttle or cadence sensor (which can be fooled by shifting to a lower gear and pedaling vigorously) will help me be...

    MAC 10T vs EZee V2

    While I've narrowed down my choices, I'm having a hard time deciding between the Mac 10T and the eZee V2 250rpm (both geared hub motors). I have a Trek Marlin 6, 700cx2.00" wheels and 48V 15Ah Li-Ion battery from Calibikes. My requirements are as follows: - I need the torque to climb about...

    Converting a Jamis Cyclocross bike - Help needed

    Thanks for your inputs! I did some research and have settled on getting a 10T MAC to manage the Seattle hills using 700c wheels. I plan to run it at 48V and 20A. I guess the 10T motor at 48V will have top speed of about 25mph. That is plenty for me, and if I need anything above that, I can...

    Converting a Jamis Cyclocross bike - Help needed

    I have a 2011 Jamis Nova Race (cyclocross bike) that I use for commuting to work, which is about 8 miles away. My daily route has 2 moderately steep hills in sections that makes very sweaty when I get to work. I'd like to add some electric assist to my bike to ease these hills out so I'm not...

    Motor stalling on cold start

    I played around with the ESC settings and it seems to be fine now. Thanks guys. @Torqueboard: Yes, kick starting definitely helps overcome stalling. And after riding around for around 30 minutes, its not too bad :) I also had to bump up the throttle limit to 80% (from 50%) and change the...

    Motor stalling on cold start

    No, I just finished my setup. The wirings are all solid. The board moves fine when I'm not standing on it. It just seems to have a hard time during cold start (starting from stop without any help)

    Motor stalling on cold start

    I'm using the Turingy 6364 213kV motor with Hobbyking 150A car ESC (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=41171). I have two 3S 8000mAh 30C batteries wired in series. My motor stalls on dead start - the motor is trying really hard to spin, but is unable to. There...

    E-GO by Yuneec Internationl

    Thanks Torque - I actually just placed an order of your dual kit yesterday :) Excited to try it out! I was just curious if anyone had tried this since it has the drivetrain and motor covers. Would love to see your cover designs when you have them!

    E-GO by Yuneec Internationl

    Anyone tried using their rear truck set as a motor mount on their own setup (http://e-go.com/cruiser-parts/rear-truck-set.html)? Looks like it comes with a neat motor, motor mount and motor cover for only $160. Cheaper than It should be easy to swap out the motor for a more powerful one. Anyone...
