I dunno if anyone still has one of these gng gen2's ..but i do and its still going - sort of. Got a worn planetary gear, but when i popped it off i found that the post had been sleeved . Post diameter being 6mm & bearing ID 8mm. My first thought was damn GnG too cheap to build bigger posts or...

Does anyone know much about the internals of a gen2? mine was going fine until i got into some really sticky boggy mud and that stopped it. Im getting some strange readings on the hall sensors and am wandering if anyone has replaced this part on a gen 2 before - if you have - where did you get...

Ah ha - misleading advertising to state a voltage but not the capacity in relationship to that voltage

Has anyone hacked the Powerall Goliath lithium battery charger. http://thepowerall.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=304_305&product_id=100 The specs state 24v@32000mah which to me equates to 12v@62000mah which would roughly make a 36v@20ah bike battery. they say they're good for a...

Wish I'd known that when I bought the controller , now they want almost $50 in postage for a $2 part

EV Power in Australia sell lifepo4 battery packs manufactured as car batteries , I think they have one tested as a daily driver over a few years now .

I really like this topic , but it seems most have missed the point ! Being able to charge an electric bike from solar isn't about the most efficient use of the solar panel .... It's firstly about being able to use the sun ( not everyone can grid connect their house ) , then it's about...

I read a couple of posts about the material used in the osn kit and as a first time battery builder I can vouch that after I shorted the pack ,welding the socket and bar across 36 v, that the epoxy does not burn or melt untill the metal bars , bolts and tabs are bright orange and /or evaporating...

New crank arms seem to have fixed problem , although the third freewheel I bought sounded remarkably smoother than the last two I had . I have had almost 200km of trouble free riding and then the chain snapped , well at least three links on one side, not completely snapped , but unuseable. I...

Im gradually finding parts for my gng gen2 .... Ive just ordered new crank arms from eclipsecycles in the uk after following a lead to cyclone tiawan and discovering hideously expensive postage to australia . From uk much cheaper ! I havent pin pointed the problem yet , but im hoping it was a...

More shenanigans ... Not sure if this related to my previous post but the freewheel bearings blew out ..... Anyways thought I'd try to get a local replacement and have found the thread on the replacement freewheel is different to the gng. Has anybody found this , do freewheels generally come...

Thanks everyone for your help .... I have solved this problem but I wouldn't have done so without the support and flow of ideas ........ I was rechecking everything and found I could run the crank arm and flywheel together on the bb ... Same problem - but success because It seemed the issue was...

Thanks spinning magnets and db baker . I'm rulling out the connection b/w the crank arm and spindle because when I rotate the freewheel with the crank arm and spindle stationary I get movement through the crank arm .... To and away from the frame .The bolt that attaches the crank arm to the axel...

I purchased a GNG Gen 2 a couple of weeks ago and it arrived very quickly, but i am having problems with the freewheel crank assembly. When mounted on the BB the crank wheel oscillates away from and to the frame when rotated. It does this if i rotate the crank gear by hand with the freewhel open...

So it seems Victpower no longer have short tab cells in stock and are selling a full tab for $20.....that seems a little too good to be true , but has anybody had any experience with this latest offer from victpower. They sent me a picture of a cell covered with the all the barcodes etc and...
