Foam tape? For Draught exclusion.

I just use pvc tape between the panels and it look good as my box is all black.

I always buy from ebay. 20 quid and ages to arrive but its the only option for thick spokes.

Try looking for 19" BMX trials rims and tyres.
I found that a winner.
They are for people who hop up and down on the BMX balancing like a unicycle.

In the leaf people are adding faster onboard chargers Some people are adding active cooling or heating. Everyone uses obd2 to monitor battery status. A few have added extra batteries with limited success.

Maybe the ultimate modification will be battery replacement with oem or 3rd party.

I have wattsup meters i could use. I suspect they will just tell me what i already know.

Well, on our bike ride she used 2 battery packs to my one. So 2 duff batteries?

Do motors loose efficiency with age?
I have a 15 year old crystalyte 406 that still works!
But it seems to drink the juice twice as fast as it should.

Is there a way to refurbish it?
I have checked the halls and they're all working.

That looks so good you could get mass market appeal.
You should put a solar panel on one and do the sun trip!

Have you looked at the sun trip ebikes? This is exactly what you are thinking about. An ebike you can cross continents in. The are some in the build thread section.

Sorry to drag up an old thread. But I've been thinking about this a lot lately as i have built some street legal ebikes for my family. The lawyers who drew up the UK rules on this didn't know the difference between a motor and a controller. They are used to engines! Therefore when i see: "motor must...

Ok cheers fechter
Its odd too that they made the p- tab small and the c- big.

Oh and this was boxed when i got it. Those wires i soldered on just this morning. So don't assume anything from the wire gauges used.

Here is with both covers off

Sorry

Hi I'm repairing a bike for a friend. He has given me all of the components including this BMS which seems to be mislabeled. Normally i would expect to see connections for B- (battery -ve), C- (charger -ve) & P- (controller -ve). Sometimes there is only B- and -ve. On this board there are three sold...

I used to have a 55mpg diesel. If anyone here swapped a 30mpg fossil burner for their EV then they would win i think. I do 20k miles too tho.

Hi i saved £1800* (2400$) last year by driving a leaf24 instead of a diesel ford focus.

Is this the highest or can anyone top that?

*My number includes: taxes, fuel, depreciation, electric but not insurance or mainance. I assumed they were the same for both cars.

Think about it this way john. The bike i ride is illegal on UK roads and look it! I have very little free time nowadays (kids) so ild rather not waste time and energy on the stuff i don't like (roads) and instead focus on the fun stuff. I see your point and in the past i would have agreed with you. ...

I charge my bike in the back garden in case it catchs fire. The batteries on my rucksac are in a biscuit tin and i have thick packing material to protect me. I ride motocross and have fallen off about 10 times this month. All low speed tho 'drop the bike' type stuff.
....But your right.

To do this right you need an electric car. Because you don't need to leave the engine running and the cars battery will last for days!

How about this idea? You drive your car to the trails with your electric bike in it. You ride round for an hour and flattern your first battery. Then you swap over to your second battery in you back pack and ride back to your car. You then plug your first battery and charger into an inverter run off...

So you can use the all the ev charging network if you have the right cards and aps. Tho your probably not supposed to use adaptors on outdoor chargers incase it rains.
some ev drivers might get irate and complain tho.

You can also buy j1772 adaptor sometimes on ebay for plugging older EVs into type 2 sockets. It will give you a 3 pin plug

you can also use the blue comando sockets o zap-map with this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EU-UK-Comman ... SwG1Jakc4W

Hi I've melted one of these gear motors. Is there any point trying to fix it. Or should i buy a new one. How much are they worth?
