Just motor or does have controller, throttle etc?

Well, I've been working through the trouble shooting from the very helpful thread https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=764&start=25 In that thread there a picture that matches by board https://endless-sphere.com/forums/posting.php?mode=quote&f=2&p=93844 https://endle...

I've been reading multiple thread but could not find one that suggests anything I have not already tried. I have a Crystalyte 4012/409 hub and a controller for it. As a dual winding hub, the controller has a switch to determine which of the two windings it will use so its not built into the controll...

Any pics of batteries. What is the AH of the batteries.
is the motor a standard connector or is it one of those weird small round ones that e-bike was using for a while?

Well with a good bit more searching I still did not anything about the unknown 361A chip, so ordered a different model of BMS to replace it. Still hoping I can fix this as a backup so any tips/ideas welcome. Anyone with an old dead BMS with that part on it they want to get rid of I'll cover postage ...

My BMS has failed (and took a headway cell with it). There was a broken sense wire as well so not sure if that cause it or happened when I disassembled the pack. Normally I plug the bike in every day (its my daily commuter). The bike was working fine before vacation but I left it unplugged as we wer...

After a long of diagnosis I believe the LED are more than just a volt-meter and that the red-green combination was indeed a sign of LVC. The battery was fine, and I had been reading the status from leads connected to the battery which is why I though it could not be LVC as the battery showed 40+v. B...

They're not very reliable. I've had LEDs in them pack up before. It's nothing to worry about. Oh thanks, but I would not care about the LEDs... The issue is that when it is in the red/green state the bike does not work at all. So I wondered what it is trying to tell me. Rode it into work and it see...

I have an bike kit I bought on craigslist. Have it hooked up and running but last week it cut out and the "three leds" (red=low, yellow=medium, green = high) showed only red and green (i.e. skipping medium) Does anyone have an idea what that indicates? Turning on/off did not reset, but kep...

Just build a home made pack from recycled cells from some military batteries I had laying around. A mix of two types, I tried to balance the capacities in my strings while also trying to keep the original pre welded groups for stability. Then I soldered 12gauge wire connecting them. I got 10s8p so a...

Thanks for the feedback. Well I got some time to disassemble the controller.. and alas the caps are 50v, so no easy upgrade. Pic below So for the record.. a HuayuxinFeng machinery & electron co controller model XF1011090121 is not upgradeable to 48v... (added incase someone else goes searching a...

I bought a used e-bike kit on craigslist. is 36v ampedbike kit with bottle battery. The Battery is toast.. I'll disassemble to see what cells I can reuse. and test the BMS. I won't use the bottle, and have lots of 18650s to build a new battery for my older lashout, which has a nice battery box and s...

sorry for the delayed response.. been a while sinceI logged on as the new build has been relatively trouble free. Only logged on as Im looking at a used motor for a second build -- the old lashout as eaten 2 more gears when being used by a lightweight friend, so I've decided that design is just toas...

If you put the old cover back on, does it still have the problem? If so, then something is wrong with the way the "new" cover is made, or spaced, vs where and how bearings/etc all sit on the axle/etc. You might have to add an internal spacer to prevent the cover rubbing on whatever it is ...

Thanks dan.. the axel on the gear side has a nice shoulder and it is sitting nicely. On the side where the wires come out of the motor there is no shoulder, there the threaded axle with washers. I took it all apart and reassembled it again today. Here is the original ordering https://endless-sphere....

How much friction should there be in a hub? I know direct drive has more inherent friction, but I think my hub now has more than normal. Contact: I bough a used Crystallite 4012/4009 hub and build a bike around it. My original build thread has pic.. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=...

I did a flashlight for a while.. but always worried about it being stolen and when I forgot to charge it and it was almost dead and I had to ride home in the dark I went for a dual cree light from eBay as my headlight. Been using it 2 years and would never go back. I only went for 500LM and even wit...

From my build thread https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=80874 -- which has more details. But I got inspiration from this thread.. so figured I'd post a few pic here too. my housing made from things I had lying around. 1.5" Alum L-shaped bar (cut/filed ot mach frame shape)...

Next steps on the build was the mounting.. and final assembly. Built a shelf from 1.5" AL angle I had lying around, notched on end to hold better against round tube. A couple of L-bracks on the bottom, with a peice of engineer wood flooring (4" planking) for the bottom and back side. 20160...

DrInnovation, why embarassing??? Only way how to avoid mistakes in the job is: don't work. ;) We all are human beings... While I embrace learning from failure.. failure to learn is still embarrassing -- this was not the first time, or even second time I've had the problem of forgetting to check the...

Be Aware! I purchased recommended 48V 400w PS but received different model. Listed model has changed, from same link. ... 400w 40V.jpg Received different labeled item from same link. Internal pcb is labeled same, and appears identical. Tests, so far: OEM Voltage range - 53.18V - 33.09V R35 = 1k R40...

Well, I'm on the the battery build... I got the Hub with a 48v20ah battery (32 cells of headway 31820). Too big for what I can fit in the triangle.. so I'm splitting it into a 48v10ah pack for daily use and a 10ah add-on pack in a rear rack pelican case) which I can add extended range. When I got it...

Not just gotta figure out the wiring. Most important question now.. the controller has one of those 2 pin "trailer connectors" I'll probably replace with a Dean's T (or get some anderson power poles).. but it is not labeled which pin takes positive. On a trailer the part that exposed is po...

Thanks.. I'll have to spread the frame to get it to fit even without the smaller nut.. so double nuts on the outside... nice and tight.

Great motor! I have the 408/412 version, and it was my favorite motor until I got a Crystalyte 5404. Very oldschool now, but nothing else is as quiet. ... The Key is a reverse switch. The key is just a switch, and you could easily replace it with an actual switch. But it's also a way for water to g...
