Thinking about this more, I don't think it's regen I'm after. I'm wanting to dull the throttle response so when the level is all the way out 100% throttle is 100% throttle but with the level in a little I want full physical throttle to be 50% throttle.

Thanks for the response. Not got round to giving this a go yet, I did start trying to design and 3D print a housing for a pot but I might just save time and buy the linked part. The idea is on my ETrails conversion to have a lever where the clutch lever was to control the regen not sure how it'll wo...

Anyone used BRK_AN? I'm looking to have a traditional brake lever operate a pot to control motor braking.

Please do. I'd be interested in what motor, controller and cells you're using. Along with reduction ratio.

You got a build thread? I'd be interested in following your progress.

It's running well and I'm pleased with it. I want to lower the motor a little, tidy up the wiring and I've yet to sort out anything in regards to bulk charging.

Motors running again now, with an external 5v. Hopeful get it all back together tomorrow. Eastgem are apparently sending a new magnet, but I think it might be wise to try source some myself. At least now it's not such a black box any more and I've learned a bit about linear and bipolar hall sensors....

Good news, I put new halls in the for the motor and applied an external 5v and the motor spins. Bad news is it's at a fixed speed so either I've also blown the halls in the throttle or I've buggered up some settings.

One ...

They had me pop the back off the motor while talking to them on Facebook. If they we're a UK company I'd be expecting more help, but my expectations are low dealing with them. I'm just itching to get out on with my lad on his Oset now it's the holidays.

I've no idea about the magnet nor what's dead inside. Properly gutted as I was thinking I'd be riding it now, I only had a few little bits to tidy up. Still not sorted with bulk charging, but I was itching to get it out and could live with splitting the pack for now. I've read the Kelly controllers ...

I've found what's killed my halls. https://s33.postimg.cc/7lvmqysy3/IMG_20180723_171334.jpg the loose bit of magnet. Bad news is I don't get 5v on any 5v lines of the controller and one of the RTN connections isn't connected to the rest like the manual states. Struggling with communication with East...

Looks like I might have a hall sensor issue. I wasn't getting 5v on any of the outputs when rotated. I popped the back off the motor and one of the sensors was too hot to touch. Not sure why I didn't get a reading from the other 2. Hopefully when my replacements arrive and I've soldered them in plac...

Not a clue at the moment. Not changed anything since it worked, it's a shame really. I've finished my battery box and a proper motor mount, just went to test it before tidying up the wiring and the controller is throwing throttle error and hall sensor error. I'm going to test both this weekend.

I'm not getting much time to work on it, but I've just about finished the battery box. My temporary motor mount needs replacing with something a little more sturdy as it moves a little. I've turned off throttle smoothing and its move lively. Short test video: https://www.facebook.com/groups/electric...

Anyone able to offer any hints? I'm not able to get the software to connect to the controller, the software that downloads from their website on the link for the KBS-E links to KBS-X. My controller is Kelly KBS 7218EW and I've used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PL2303TA-USB-to-TTL-RS232-Upgrade-Serial-...

I've not had chance yet. I think I might be able to go down 1 more on the front with off the shelf parts. I'll get a larger rear CNC'd if I need one, just need to learn how to do sprockets in fusion 360. I've got to finish mounting the battery packs before I can give it a good test.

Can't get a larger rear. The 70t is the largest black sprocket available in 428 apparently. I'd maybe have to get something cnc'd or change chain pitch. Motors got a really strong pull, I'd like a bit faster initial ramp up if I can.

What ever was already programmed in to the controller, I've not yet played around with it. My motor alignment is still a little out so it's still a bit noisy. Hoping to get it hooked up to the laptop at the weekend and play with the settings a little. I might want to increase the gear ratio, but for...

It's still got a fair bit of work to do but it's rolling under its own steam now. https://youtu.be/hSyp5HaGS5M

MICHELIN TRIAL COMPETITION 18 inch I believe.

It's a bit of a stab, but it says the max rpm is 4500 so I've used that to try and gear it under 30mph. The reality is that I cannot get a bigger rear 428 than 70t and I've got a 10t front, so I've gone with that to see how it feels. If it's not puncy enough I'll have to look at yearling the control...

I couldn't get an answer as to its KV but I went with it any way. It's almost 9kg so hopefully that means it's got some grunt.

The throttle is http://www.eastgem.net/throttle-adapter.html my rear sprocket should be here in next few days and I'll have a turning wheel and a little test.

Motor mounted with bits of scrap for now. https://s31.postimg.cc/r8msutfqv/IMG_20180419_204052.jpg https://s31.postimg.cc/qhu2oxihj/IMG_20180422_102335.jpg Hopefully my 70t rear sprocket will arrive soon along with the new 428 chain and I can get the wheel spinning and have a see how it runs. I've m...
