The nominal (selling/advertised) voltage of packs seems to be on the antiquated 3 volt per cell system. This does not necessarily mean that is the actual voltage of the pack. LiFePo4 for example are considered widely as 3.3 volts per cell, so a 16s pack would be 52.8 volts. For sales purposes...

All, Got my bag last week and spent the weekend converting the bike to use it. Perfect fit in the 19.5" frame. Fit my 16S3P pack nicely with the CA Datalogger, 40A inline fuse and homemade parrallel board. This thing is a definate thumbs up. Dan

Nice pics and info here on older thread. My Falcon EV bag will be here later this week. I was looking to fab my own but this looks like what I need. Thanks all for the input.

I was running as high as 3400 watts on the old steel RST191 forks with a single torque arm. Never had a problem in over 11,000 miles. As dogman said, you couldn't get on it right away or traction was a serious issue. The power was needed once you were rolling and speeds increased. I do have a...

Not welding to forks. Just welding the torque arm to the support to create a single piece as so many have suggested. I am also looking at changing out the hose clamps with solid pipe clamp so I can bolt the single piece torque arm unit to the fork rather than pinch it. Here is what I am looking...

Thanks all. I have not run it over the 1500 watts the Ping can provide as of yet. And I have kept the speeds to less that 35mph. I plan on having the arms welded to the supports this weekend and changing from hose clams to solid clamps with rubber back washers. I worry about applying too much...

lester, where is your sense of adventure? Push the envelope or it pushes you! That said, safety is not a joke. That is why I am asking technical input for the install. Steel washers inside, c-washers and torque arms out seems to me a way to clamp down (no more than 35 ft/lbs) on the aluminum c...

So a GPS verified speed of 54.2 mph might be a bit much? (on the old unit) I see you can appreciate my caution when ramping up the power.

I'll throw in. The Ping battery I have has been one of the best investments without any (and I mean without any) headaches ever. Plug and play usable. The 48V15Ah pack that I have has never let me down. It has over 10,000 miles of use. With a 15 mile one way commute, get two chargers. One for...

full-throttle-Point is that they are not steel! Had to grind the drop out from 9mm to 10mm. Not magnetic and seemed aluminum when sparks didn't ignite them. And you are more than welcome to come over and run an 88.8 volt 15Ah LiPo pack on a fresh build if you like. I personally prefer all of my...

More install pics

Hi all, Just wanted to share info on my installation of a front hub motor with an aluminum suspension fork. So here's the bike update info. Front hub motor is still an NC2806. I have been running this with a RST191 cheapo steel suspension fork and a v-brake for quite a while. The v-brake...

I have a kit that uses the Infineon controller and love it. It is responsive and smooth now that it has been tuned. My previous set-up used a sensorless motor and a Lyen controller. It worked fine if under 48 volts. Anything over 48 volts caused a timing issue and a stutter. I never found a...

Sorry all that I have not posted in a bit. It's the crazy season at work and hours are plentiful. wizzbitt, you have to order the NC2806 and then the upgrade controller. NC26_Fast for front or NC26RD_Fast for rear. Then 40A_upgrade for controller. http://ebikes.ca/store/store_nc.php...

Thanks for all the concern. 3K in the front is a bit dicey, mostly when cornering! I will be tuning this weekend thanks to the thread from hjns. And checking the tires thanks to dogman. Nice to have the ES community. Everyone here has the same agenda. Green life, safety and cheap transport. Oil...
