    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    Finally, some more recent pics. http://imgur.com/a/00y2r Also, the adaptto settings: https://imgur.com/qeiMvIN https://imgur.com/JcfZfHP Let me know if you need anything else. I also got the adaptto external speed sensor working. The problem was that the speed sensor i was using (which was...

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    Took me a long time to get back to you, but here I am! If you are still interested, I will upload some screenshots of the settings I'm currently running. Beware though - these are not fully optimized, when the freewheel in the rearwheel hasn't engaged yet (bike rolling or braking and...

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    I'm currently busy with university and work but I'll write them down for you as soon as I can find the time. Just a word of warning: Replacing the original controller was everything except easy. Also currently the external speed sensor does not work and the adaptto itself is far from perfect...

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    I didn't have time to post any updates in the last month because I was busy finishing the bike! Finally now I can share it with all of you. First off, it's an absolute blast to ride. Even though it has less power than my last buildit effortlessly pulled me up every grade i could find...

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    Oh well that solves it. Thank you very much. There was no magnet included. Gotta figure out how to use it because the adaptto regen/thr cutoff wire is already used by the external speed sensor....

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    As most of my exams are over, I had some time to work on the bike. Pictures tell more than a thousand words: Testfit of all components on the bike. It is still comfortably light. Battery is 10 packs of 5Ah 4s hobbyking lipo. This equals a 74V nominal 10Ah battery, and I still have room for 5Ah...

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    I already have the adaptto from my last build and I am not afraid of the electronics and wiring and stuff, removing the BBSHD controller from the casing without damaging it is the hard part right now. Also, there's good news and bad news. The good ones first: I received my package from lunacycle...

    Giant Reign SX 2014 + Bafang BBSHD + Adaptto MINI-E

    After my misadventures of trying to design custom bolt-on dropouts to fit a MXUS 3000 to my giant reign sx 2014, 3d-printing countless models which were just as unfitting for my frame as they were expensive and finally giving up after over a year I said to myself: screw it. I'm going mid-drive...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    I still have the same issue with my MINI-E... The bike ran fine for the first ~50 kms. Beautiful acceleration, everything fine. Then after two days the throttle started cutting out under (more or less) heavy acceleration >2.5kw and a !HALLS! error is displayed until I release the throttle. Below...

    Scott Aspect 45 Build Thread

    I switched the halls, cleaned and greased the "shot" bearing (which now runs perfectly...) and ran autodetect again, but the same issue persists. I am now using shielded wires for the hall and temp signal cable. On hard acceleration >2.5kw the throttle cuts out and a !HALLS! error is displayed...

    Idea collection for full suspension build

    Hey Mike, It's just such a nice frame, i couldn't ever cut it open, the only thing i might have to do if I used a rear hub, is to modify the through axle so they are dropouts and I can fit a hub axle in there.. Maybe I can build adapters to fit onto the through axle holes/disk brake mounts? That...

    Idea collection for full suspension build

    Sadly it is a through axle and not a QR, can't easily fit a rear hub axle into it without modifying and cutting the frame open. And since I got used to the power of my Adaptto Mini-E and up to 5kw on tap, its hard to imagine less power, although the low weight is a big plus. I've ridden a...

    New Adaptto Controller Model

    I found some pictures from the Interbike '15 where Dr. Bass is posing with his NYX Bike and Adappto. In the background there is a poster: (link from facebook) There is another model of the adaptto controllers listed, the MIDI-E, with 8kw of power. I have searched the internet as well as ES...

    I think the shock reservoir would be in the way :/

    Idea collection for full suspension build

    I've read the thread on the tangent drive and it seems very interesting. It would eliminate the need for a seperate jack shaft between the front chainring and the motor, if I have read that correctly. However, the bend in the downtube will cause the motor to be mounted very low, don't want to...

    So what replacement intervals do you mid drive guys have for your chains/sprockets? Just to get a feel for the cost, work etc.

    Idea collection for full suspension build

    Thanks dude. The thing I'm concerned about with running so much power through the drivetrain, doesn't it wear down very fast? Can't imagine the sprockets and chain lasting very long under 4kw of power.. Whats your experience with that? I haven't really found conclusive results on ES about this...

    Idea collection for full suspension build

    Help me out ES-Gurus! So i just bought a used 2014 GIANT Reign SX for a bargain (600€ in almost new condition). (hope the picture isn't too large) Now I am on a search for ideas what to do with this beautiful bike. Target power will be around 5kw (more is better :twisted: ). First decision...

    Scott Aspect 45 Build Thread

    Back to the Aspect, I've run into some issues... I did replace the hall sensors, put the motor back together and now it runs very rough, wouldnt even start on adaptto autodetect. there is a grinding noise in the motor on each rotation. Also, it was cogging VERY hard. Maybe cogging is the wrong...

    Scott Aspect 45 Build Thread

    I actually drove 8 hours to buy the bike! Thanks for the tip Luis, it was really worth it. Even though it's got a full-suspension it probably weighs less than my Aspect (without motor & batteries ofc). The frame is a large model, so it will be easy to fit lots of batteries on there. I'll...

    Scott Aspect 45 Build Thread

    Already some weeks ago I sanded the box down and painted it black (Lots of work! > 15hrs combined) and it was definitely worth the effort, looks very good now, imho. Howeverrrr I couldn't ride for very long, because apparently (one of?) my hall sensors died. Already ordered some, should be...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    I ordered some SS411's and will replace the old halls in the motor soon. At the time where this happened, the weather here was very dry. However it might be condesation from the warm controller? How do I open the adaptto, just remove the two screws on the left and right side of the top and...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Thanks guys, I checked all the connections and they seem fine, tested them with a multimeter. Checked the individual hall voltages as well, they jump from 0 to 4.12V and back, which means they work, right? So I guess I'll order some halls and swap 'em out just to be sure. I still had the...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Hey guys, I have a problem with my Adaptto MINI-E, mabye somebody could help me. I already searched the forum but I couldn't seem to find a solution to my problem on ES. I already did 50km with my mini, and everything ran beautifully. I parked the bike for 2 days in a spot where I am 100% sure...
