Hey Matt, after riding my bike with one Astro i cant image how insane this bike will be! the acceleration will be mind blowing. keep up the good work

hey Panurge, cool video, love the on screen display. With the Photo of the Phone on the handle bars what is all the data that shows up? i can see Amps, volts and watts but cant make out the rest. i love the look of the analogue style gauges on the screen. do you know if this app will be...

hi, finally rode bike today, and pretty impressed. Every thing seemed to go well. See attached video, keep watching as from 1:50 to 2:50 about i had to return to tighten clutch as it started slipping but this was the first ride. also i have attached the CC HV160 data log, please let me know if...

finished chain tensioner today, so bike is finally finished and ready for round two. i will order two more 6S 8ah batteries this week so i will have 4 x 6s 8ah giving me 48volt at 16ah so hopefully the extra batteries will help. rode bike today just pedal pretty heavy but all works well glad i...

hey made a little more progress, finished the rear hub laced up the rim and made adapter to mount chain ring to hub, photo attached. i just need to make chain tensioner and order a copy more batteries and try again.

hi guys, sorry haven't been on for a while. but i have done a few things just been at a slow pace. i received Speed controller back from castle creations, and i also got the battery replaced under warranty. at the moment i have made a few changes the second reduction i have included a...

thanks Panurge and matt for all your info it is much appreciated. The switch i have is only rated to 12v 500 amp so not really suited to my system, i have found a 48volt 600 amp one will check it out for size. If it is to big i will do something like you panurge and try and have a plug close by...

hey Matt, did you used to run extra caps? as i thought that was the norm as all over this forum i kept hearing people saying use extra caps so i did. But it is funny you said about extra battery capacity, a friend of mine who seems quite clued up on electronics couldn't understand about the...

thanks matt for clearing up about the fuse and the throttle. I still find all the electronic side confusing as if the controller is rated to 160 amps, how can the controller last if the FETs see burst of 200 amps and 400amps! isnt anything over 160amps going to kill the ESC or is the 160 just...

thanks Matt, all i have between the batteries and controller is a 200amp shunt and battery isolator switch no fuse or do you mean i should have a fuse? i know it's hard to know but is there any other thing that could case the battery to fail and lose voltage as in any other thing i have done...

hey guys, tried bike finally for the first time today went about 500mtr before it died, it just died suddenly but i did here a pop. i got back and checked the batteries and one had no voltage i connected to battery charger and it said connection break, i have contacted hobby king for warranty...

Thanks matt i will just setup the slipper clutch. The throttle you are building sounds awesome i will be interested in one when they are ready. Keep me posted!

hey matt, thanks for the feed back is there a link or post on hear on how to use the CA to limit amps for RC use? or is it on there website? I do have a slipper clutch, is this a better option to protect my system? as i notice you use these in your systems. i know these are properly rookie...

hey guys, been a while since posted. Being Busy and NBA playoffs have been on (Mad NBA fan) Recieved Batteries this Week got 8amp hour 6S lipo will wire these in series to get my 48 volts @8amp hour, hope to have 8 of these in the long run. wired in The Power meter today, cooling fans...

got one side panel made today, should have other side made by tomorrow. Not 100% sold on it, it is growing on me, but i like no side panels so i might run it naked and try and make the Batteries and wiring look good. I have found lipo batteries covered in Carbon fibre sheeting should match. i...
