Yep, exactly...
the final USB connection:
Press the button:
And let there be light...
Sounds awesome, that would be great to see photos and learn how you powered the light on the back.Tom L wrote: ↑May 24 2018 6:56pmThat light needs 2.5A for it’s specified brightness. The cable can only provide 0.5A if it’s the same as the BBSHD. I’m not saying it won’t work, just that it could be brighter. You might be better off with a DCDC converter (48V to 5V) wired to the 48V battery.
I purchased the Roxim X4 from Grin last night. About 10 times the price delivered (AUD) compared to what dalysea paidbut it won’t blind oncoming traffic (StVZO) and I will be splicing it in to the the 48V battery supply as it can take up to 85V. I’ll post some photos when it arrives and I fit it. I’ll also show how I powered my 3V rear red light from the 48V battery.
Great, look forward to see pics on how you do this and where you spliced in.Tom L wrote: ↑May 24 2018 6:56pmThat light needs 2.5A for it’s specified brightness.

I quickly tried and fitted my brand-X Ascend XL dropper 150 mm all the way so you can look up the numbers to compare.Cruncher123 wrote: ↑May 28 2018 1:14pmI'm looking to install a Magura Vyron v2 2018 wireless dropper post (is faster-acting than original version). My concern is if there's enough insertion length to install the post - specs indicate I need 120mm inserted into the seat tube. Can someone please measure the seat tube to see if there is enough available non-constricted length?
Thanks!
the straight part of the seat tube on the M-sized v2018 frame is 250mm, immediately after you've got an exit point for the dropper cable.Cruncher123 wrote: ↑May 28 2018 1:14pmCan someone please measure the seat tube to see if there is enough available non-constricted length?
Thanks. Looks like plenty of room. I'm going wireless to avoid cable hassle and ease of swapping to another bike.Ivanovitch_k wrote: ↑May 28 2018 6:54pmthe straight part of the seat tube on the M-sized v2018 frame is 250mm, immediately after you've got an exit point for the dropper cable.Cruncher123 wrote: ↑May 28 2018 1:14pmCan someone please measure the seat tube to see if there is enough available non-constricted length?
Im in Kelowna, and I would be interested. I was quite surprised by the very high shipping costs. Count me in if we can save by group buying.
How many bikes in a container? And is Frey discounting for bulk purchases?
They are just torqued quite hard, but not that much loctite'd.Tom L wrote: ↑Jun 01 2018 3:22amThere is no room to pull the anderson power connectors out once the cover plate over the motor is removed from the frame. Looks like I am going to have to drop the motor out to get at the power cables. The motor to frame bolts are extremely tight and blue loctited. Going to need the heat gun and 1/2" socket drive set from work. I only have a 1/4 drive set here and that ain't going to cut it.
not normal. This should provide up to 500mA.
If someone here knows the answer regarding the black connector, that'd be great !Ivanovitch_k wrote: ↑May 27 2018 6:46amDoes someone knows the purpose & pinouts of the ultra's connectors ? Also, their make/model would be useful
edit: found them, they are JST's JWPF series and are surprisingly IPX7 rated (i.e. no ingress for at least 30min under 1 meter of water) !
here is what I know so far, all viewed from motor-side.
What I suppose the black one does is connection to compatible BMS over UART or CAN. The motor would forward the BMS data to the display in order to populate the detailed battery info page (on dpc18 at least)
- 8-pin white female: main EB-bus -> throttle, ebrakes, display uart & power (programming cable attach here)
- 2-pin blue male & female: lights connectors, 6 Vdc out, 3W max / 500mA (for both or per cable, unknown)
- 3-pin white female: speed sensor
- 3-pin white male: gear sensor ? to be confirmed
- 4-pin black female: ?

Is there a lights connector with permanent power, since the new EU regulation 168/2013 (type approval ) requires permanent light? And, is there a way to connect/implement "a brake light that lights up as soon as you start braking”?
