Well, I'm sure someone could use such a feature, but balancing with the rider or a load on it would probably be much more useful to more people.

Why would it be impossible for a bike that's lighter than the rider or load to balance with the rider or load on it?

Haven't gotten to adding the strip lights and downlighting and stuff, mostly because Raine hasn't even used the trike at all, other than the test ride we took around the neighborhood previously. It's just been sitting there waiting for him to ride it. Have tried to get him to go with me to various p...

This kit is now on the Raine Trike's righthand wheel. Controller / display has a number of issues that are intermittent adn appear to be in the display unit itself, so it's running without that, with the keyswitch line jumpered at the controller's display connector. For a speed / etc display, I'm us...

Still humid and hot, but the rain is probably gone for the season, it's sunnier, and the temperatures have started to go back to the 110-115F+ range. Still "10-20% chance" of rain, but not in the general valley area--outside of it, 50-100 miles away from me, it's definitely been raining here and the...

Keep in mind the bamboo insulates heat fairly well, so anything inside it wont' really be able to shed heat. If the controller is inside, it may well overheat and fail, much sooner than normal, if not right away. I'd recommend making a heat path for the controller to a heatsink outside the bamboo. I...

So, what does "of less than seven hundred fifty watts" mean? Output, input, rating? It's ambiguous, so I'll use the ambiguity to my advantage. Yes, I have two 374watt motors on the trike. :) Now, if they really got super technical, the law only allows one motor...but I don't think they'll care. I a...

Not needing to put your feet down at a stop might be cool, but not really necessary. FWIW, at least some places the law requires to put at least one foot down at a stop. Isn't enforced here AFAICT, but it is where Dogman lives, and a few others around the forum. It does sound like an interesting pr...

There's a few threads about that already

CANBUS can do whatever the devices on it are programmed to do; whether there are any that do what you want I don't know. :/

AFAIK, if you spin the motor while a Kelly is hooked up via it's data/program port, it'll brick it (there've certainly been enough reports about that).

How did the controller cause the power LEDs and headlight to not work?

How about finding a used one cheap, locally to you, that might do what you want and works but has an old SLA battery that needs replacing. Buy that, then change it over to a new Li battery. Either built yourself, or purchased premade. Depending on the power and range needs, you could probably do it ...

Just make a Y-cable, with whatever connector you want on the CA end, or with the "bottom" of the Y wired directly into the CA, and the connector for each light at each of the other arms of the Y.

Then plug each light into it's arm.

Your links appear to be corrupted; you might want to edit them to have just the URL there. Question, though: What do you need the forks to do? If you need them to be good suspension, then common cheap forks don't do very much. I'm using a cheap RST 100mm travel elastomer/spring fork on SB Cruiser (a...

My guess is that by his own definition earlier in the thread (in reply to John in CR) he has not had any EVs.

The power LED's do not power up nor does the switch power the head lamp. The head lamp is power by the CA output power jack and the throttle button is the on and off switch for it. Both teh power LEDs and the CA power jack are battery voltage, and have nothing to do with the throttle power, which i...

If by "working with no issues" you mean that the throttle's battery power level meter lights worked, and the switch on the throttle used to turn them on and off, then perhaps there is now a wiring fault that broke the connection from battery or controller to that switch/meter. Or if it got wet insid...

Looks liek we're past the rains, and within the next few days will be back to the 110-115F+ temperatures...but with high humidity so ti feels a lot higher than that. :/

Was nice while it lasted.

AFAIK the entire history of any post edited with that feature was completely lost with teh old version of teh forum. I don't know why all that information wasn't preserved, but I doubt it can be recovered.

I have ran it a few times after this issue and it still didn't charge and did the on and off over and over without charging the battery. Does it do this if it's not connected to the battery at all? If so, then there's rpobably a break in the wiring from charger to battery somewhere (anywhere in the...

Well, if the controller shuts down after the battery sags to 44v (most likely it's sagging a lot farther than that, but the system doesn't update the display rapidly enough to show you), then it *does* run on 48v. A 13s 48v battery typically runs about 52v fully charged, and drops down to about 40v ...

Is it necessary to have the fuse connected directly to the battery + terminal? Or can have a small bit of wire connecting the + terminal to the my fuse? You can do it however works best for your system. There's no hard rules about it, ;) just whatever your best judgement is based on your system's d...

EDIT: actually, it looks like my older one is a V2: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=67833&p=1237062&hilit=mxus+cruiser#p1237062 and it's the 3T version. So that means my V3 is a 4T. The v1 presumably also has the flat magnets, so since the stators swapped in mine ok, I'd assume...

Ah. I guess that's what I get for assuming the manufacturer would care enough about selling their products to keep their site up to date. ;) In that case, the best thing I can recommend is asking the manufacturer themselves, and if they don't care enough to say, then you might have to look for someo...

The satiator does work on NiCd batteries, but it won't magically make your battery better. Sometimes charging and discahrging and recharging a NiXX type pack will help it some, but not usually bring it back to how well it worked before. Your original charger can probably do this as well as the Satia...

One i havent heard for a few years... Good chance of electric shock through your bike frame.

Depending on how you wire it, there *is* a chance of that, under the right (wrong) conditions.

If it's built right, though, not much chance of it happening by accident.
