    Hi! I made some changes in my battery charging system. After I add 4 batteries in my battery pack, old charger was not capable to do job properly. Old charger blow up and I think it is happening to many peoples who charge LiPo batteries with big capacity. What I did? I take old PC Power Supply...

    Good morning! Maybe it is interesting to you guys? About how to pack 18650 batterys in one "brick" with heatsink properties inside. When I start my project, it was important question! Because of heating under the load. Than I investigate this subjec and Elon Musk gave the answer. He speaks about...

    Small update. It's wintertime here and exact time for upgrade. Today I add 5th element to my 4P battery pack. This one is 2.4A/h (2500mA version which is only 2400mA in fact). Now I have 5P4S battery pack, which is good. Here is picture.

    Some update. When I made my battery charger, I notice the problem - I can not know, when battery is full. Earlier I use Grid Power meter to manage Charge. But, there is simple solution. I buy simple Voltage LED indicator and mount it inside my modified self made Battery Charger case...

    Good evening! The Winter is gone, but the snow and rain still remains, but I start the "bikers season". After Winter, there is dust on the road and N5065 electric motor is full with holes which is good :) if we have ideal road conditions. I start to think about 2 options. The first is easiest...

    Some update. Summer is gone. 1 month ago when I drive there was a noise, which was "mechanic" in nature. Today I decide to clean Motor setup and set it aside for winter time.

    I change my "Drive button" to SS0504A type. Old type microswitch with tiny "push button" was not usefull. It is not possible to drive 1 hour. New design looks like that. To push "down" is very easy now. I hope, it will be good enough. :)

    Hi! Today I think about, what is important to tell to you. When I start to think about my electric assistant bike, first question was about battery heatsink. I don't know what to do, but my friend in the Sky :), gave me link to the Elon Mask video about it. In that video he tell about...

    I change position of the "Drive" button. Old position was near LED, at right from normal chest position on the steering wheel. New position is on Right Brake bracket. I drill 2 holes and use long - small diameter bolts with nuts. I hope, new "Drive" button place will help me avoid fatigue and...

    Today I fixed my setup. New original MG996R works nice. No problems. I make some improovments. I take gear lubricant and put a little more on gears inside Servo motor. I undersand one thing, spring on shock absorber is little bit too weak. Maximum presure is about 3kg, which is maybe not enough...

    Hi! Today I receive package from Hobby King. After I buy another fake MG996R from Ebay, I decide to purchase Original Tower Pro MG996R Servo motor. Why? Because I make a research in the field of Servo motors. Youtube and Google help a lot and here we are. Original Tower Pro MG996R. Another...

    Thank you for your recommendations! It is wise for peoples who drive a lot. I am not that person. :) For me it's a project, the different one from others. I like idea to make "projects". My friends do the same. One makes boat, other electric car, drones, e.t.c. It is our "men's world". :) This...

    This post will be about - how to resolve this problem. I understand this. Servo must be modified or changed to another, much stronger one. I have many mechanics - friends. One of them tell me - buy another, the same and make some changes. 2 axes are the same diameter, 1,6mm. I will take a drill...

    Sad news. Servo motor faild. I use it for more than 1,4kg presure. Maybe 3kg presure to tyre? I broke something in gears mechanism. I will open servo and I give information with pictures. Bye!

    About battery charger. Most of us have old notebook chargers, unused. My Universal 80W charger is usable, but my battery pack controller consume huge amount of Current and it is dangerous for battery and power supply. I use simple circuitry to reduce Current consumption. As you see, there is...
