    Cycle Analyst fine tuning

    I'm having a hell of a time interpreting how the advanced settings work. I really wish this manual gave some examples of how doing X,Y, and Z will give you such-and-such kind of outcome. I'm assuming that a very simple way to extend the range I can ride is by reducing the Max Throttle setting...

    Cycle Analyst won't turn on

    I just got my CA in the mail, tried plugging it into the controller (Infineon 36-48v, 20 amp), and nothing happens. The CA won't turn on and the throttle does nothing. I unplug the CA, everything works as usual. The only thing I can think of which may be affecting things is that I don't have...

    Using discharge wires for charging

    I have a 36v LiMnNiCo e-bike battery. Even though it has separate charge and discharge wires, both having different kinds of connectors, can I charge the battery using the discharge wires? I'm trying to standardize/simplify all my charger and battery connectors with Andersons.

    Infineon wiring help

    Here's a link to the original review of my 36v Bafang kit from a few months ago: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8640 I have the itch to go faster, so I'm making some changes. Here are all the parts that I'm trying to combine: - 36v Bafang front motor w/700c rim -...

    Interesting new product for winter...

    Since winter is right around the corner, I thought this was worth a mention. At first glance on normal upright bikes, the Velotop looks a bit strange and top-heavy. But the version they show for recumbents does well to bridge the gap between complete exposure to the elements vs. a fully enclosed...

    "Electric Blue" - 36v Bafang w/Phylion Battery

    My intention was to build a light weight and nimble electric assist bike which has the range that opens possibilites other than the same 12.5 mile route to work. I need a motor for a push up hills and into the wind, more so than drag racing off the line. I'm a 'roadie' at heart, so suspension...

    Name this mystery controller please.

    This is the controller which came with my Bafang 36v kit. There are six groupings of wires. I understand the purpose of all except for one grouping of two black wires, with a third that is looped around and plugged into the connection of the other two. Was this for the brake cutoff? I opted not...

    Questionable Fork?

    I'm in the process of building another electric bike and need some advice. Having learned what I like about e-bikes, and, more importantly, what I don't like, I feel as though this is my chance to get it right this time. My goal is to create a bike/motor/battery combo which weighs no more than...

    As if cops weren't lazy enough...

    Anyone seen the new T3 scooter from T3 Motion for law enforcement? "Richie Dehoyos, a guard with UTPA Police, said the scooter has significantly cut down the time it takes him to patrol the campus parking lots. It would take him about an hour by foot. Now he can complete one trip around campus...

    Why not a Sidewalker?

    I test rode an Ego and was impressed with the way it handled. The performance is respectable, but two-grand for a 24 mph top end, as well as the limited life of sla batteries seems a bit steep. Anyone try a Sidewalker Downhill for a donor bike...

    Question about changing from 36v to 72v

    I have two Crystalyte Journey kits and would like to run one motor with both 36v nimh batteries in series for 72v. I realize that the existing controller can't handle that kind of voltage and I need to buy another one which can. The problem is that the Crystalyte 36-72v 20ah controller available...

    Please help with solar setup...

    I ride an e-bike powered by a Crystalyte Cannon 36v 10ah nimh kit. My commute is 12.5 miles to work, same distance home. It takes my 2 amp charger approximately two hours to top off the battery for my ride home (the ride to work is mostly down hill). I would like to charge the battery while at...

    $1500 to spend

    Hey guys, My name is Al and I'm a new viewer/poster on this forum. I'm impressed (and very intimidated) by how much knowledge you all have of electronics and physics. I slept through most of my science classes in school, so going the route of art major in college leaves me at a huge...
