E-S LMX 64 Bike Owners

[Rix]

Hi All,
First post in 15 years!! as an old member of ES (old account account seems irretrievable) seems a few of the guys from way back now have companies andare making some great bikes?
Can anyone bring me up to speed on the LMX? are they still going? is Adam "bzhwindtalker" from the sphere? he always had jumpable mid drives.
if any owners would be kind enough to bring me up to speed that would be great, I am catching up on the thread, but it's looong, I'm just looking for some feedback on how this bike is doing, no posts for while so i'm hoping alls well and the bike is still available to buy?

I have been here for about 13 years now. So has Cowardly Duck, he's a moderator, hit him up with a PM with any questions you may have, he has a lot of rider R&D going on with the LMX.

I actually did it. I cut my frame. (Not a lot)
1040watts 20Ah 21700 HL hailong battery.
Fits perfectly. Now I pulling 3200watts peak.
It’s increased my range on full power.
Increased the max power settings to 60amps. No problem.

Nice job! On a side note, does anyone know what type of power the default BMS need to handle? My battery is dead. Looking at repair or replacement.

BMSes are normally rated by current, not power, so you should look at your controller's maximum continuous current limit, and it's peak current limit, and get a BMS that can physically handle that.

BUT: You must also use a BMS that is not going to allow more current than the cells are designed for, peak or continuous.

If you find your controller current needs are higher than your cells can do, then you will need to either:
--turn the controller's current down if it can be,
or
--change the controller for one with lower current needs than the cells can supply,
or
--change the cells for ones that can handle the current required by the controller.
Etc.


Most people with "BMS problems" actually have cell problems, something wrong with one or more of them triggers the BMS to protect them by turning off. Or they have a system that requires more from the cells than they can give, and so the BMS shuts down to protect them. Etc.
