Has anyone purchased ebike batteries from an Australian company LANplus? Good or bad? Web site http://lanplus.com.au/index.php?route=product/search&search=Ebike They don't look anything stunning but look reasonably priced for battery replacements on ebikes with failed packs. I am getting asked more ...

It would appear that simply changing the controller for one with a twist throttle is not as simple as it first seems. The motor has no hall sensors to detect phase angle even though the cables are there. There is a single hall sensor picking up a pulse once per revolution from a small magnet on the ...

Selection of a fuse for an e-bike should probably be based protecting not just the wiring, it should include wire connectors, which are usually the weak link in the equation. wut i do: Using LiPo pouch batteries capable of safely discharging hundreds of amps I use connectors rated @ 60A, wiring rat...

Here is the back of the LCD, as you can see it has sustained further damage getting it apart (not by me). Some wires have broken off. Note the blue wire comes off that large transistor which powers up the controller. The white wire probably came off pin "D". The yellow wire comes from one of the hal...

Here is a better picture of the controller. Note the small sub board on the right with the 3 hall wires coming out green, yellow and blue and no hall wires from the motor. The blue wire powers up the sub board on the left which is a small voltage regulator feeding 12v to the rest of the controller. ...

Looks like the LCd got cracked. :( Seems to be a lot like my Fusin kit's controller, though it has more modes than yours. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=584366#p584366 You might want to check for wires that carry battery voltage to the LCD; probably one of them will connect to an...

What you're saying doesn't make sense. I've never heardof or seen any LSW controller working like that. Maybe someone wrongly rewired something that made the LCD blow. Show us photos of all the connectors on the LCD and controller, so that we can see what you've got. The LCD was dropped and damaged...

Tonight i started getting a new box ready for a build i'm planning, its not finished but i think its a good proof of concept, could use advice on one thing though. Started with an mdf placeholder to test width and if it got in the way, looked lovely riding with this haha 12769601_10204619744408555_...

A friend asked me to attempt a repair on an "easymax easy bike". It has an LCD panel with only pedal assist and no throttle. The interesting thing is that only one hall sensor is connected and that goes to the LCD panel. The controller has a small sub board with an IC that has the hall wires coming ...

Cree is just a brand like Coca Cola. There are many brands just as good if not better. The marketing department at Cree are just better at marketing their brand than the Pepsi version.

Ive heard the Macs have a problem with sticking clutches. Tip the bike over and gently turn the wheel in both directions if you can feel the motor cogging in both directions your clutch is not working. Pay to check this before pulling things apart. 1000w has had some experience with this problem.

Has anyone heard about this new law nsw gov is trying to pass... That all adult cyclists must carry a gov issue ID whilst riding a bike. Can get fined without it etc. WTF!!! I mean have they gone nuts? This is munted in the head on sooo many levels. I sort of can't actually believe it has been prop...

I wasn't talking about speed limits. I was talking about what speed was appropriate for each environment. What started this conversation, indeed was that it was my opinion that Mopeds (Scooters) are too slow for the road.

I understand you are offering your opinion, I was offering mine.

If they're sharing space with a traditional cyclist ~30km/h. If they're sharing space with a car, at least 110km/h with the ability to do 60-100km/h in say, There are no enforced speed limits on bike tracks, at least around here, and at 30kph many of the boys in Lycra will be rounding you up.

Nice lights.

How about a magnet sewn into your glove and a Hall effect under the bar tape?

Ape hangers and a banana seat?

Nice colour scheme.

This will be interesting. I got one down to Under 15kg but have since scrapped that bike. It goes fast ok just a bit too fast. I found myself doing stupid things on skinny tyres and thought it's only a matter of time before I come unstuck. I have since gone to cruiser style bikes for a more relaxed ...

So how long have you had delusions of grandeur?

You got shares in the company? It's a "claim" not a fact. And it's still not relevant to this thread!
Please keep on subject and stop trying to hijack the thread with free advertising for useless solar crap.
