I got mine from em3ev a few weeks ago. I picked the only battery option that was available to Canada. I had it shipped to my office as I figured it would arrive during the day. It ended up shipping through fedex and took about 2 weeks. I had to pay $28 upon drop off (import tax and fees)...

You are not the only one who has wondered this. I am trying to decide one my first build and am more than baffled by all of the options. I am leaning towards a 12T Mac as there is some very steep long hills on my commute. But I would prefer the speed of the 10T. I have been comparing the ezee...

Looks like a great ride for crusing around town. I am torn between motor choices since these came out.

The battery part doesn't turn. It is stationary and locked to the hub. I'm just wondering if it might be salvageable I was going to buy a battery as I'm planning my first build right now. The other motor I picked up appears to be a bafang 250w geared motor. If I could use this battery then I...

I picked up a couple of used what I thought were hub motors. Turns out one appears to be a battery of some kind. I have no idea if its any good. I'm guessing not. where would i begin? What would i use to try charging it? Or would that be a bad idea?

Thanks for your input. I am leaning towards a cell man battery. Likely hard plastic case one wiirh Samsung cells. I was hoping to order soon as the dollar here is taking a nose dive. But its sounds like saving a few more dollars for a CA would be a good investment.

I am planning a build and can't decide if I should spring for a cycle analyst as the budget is a little tight. I'm leaning towards a geared Mac motor 25a controller and 48v battery but can't decide if I really need the cycle analyst. It seems this is the only good way to monitor the level of...

I've been looking at getting a very similar kit from Paul. Except i would go with the rear hub motor. I have 2 bikes that I could put it on but am leaning towards my specialized pitch full suspension as it has disc brakes. My older rock hopper only has v-brakes and I'm not sure they will be up...

Pelican makes some great cases and they are not as expensive as they used to be

sweet thanks!

thanks for the input. I think I will stick with my 15 year old specialized frame and get a geared rear hub kit from em3ev with the hard case battery that he sells. even with a CAv3 it will still be less money and likely a better set up. just not a clean. the only think I will be missing is disc...

I have been thinking of converting my old hardtail with a rear hub motor. But when looking around I found these. Does anyone have any experience or input on them? http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/bid/4296677837.html Looks like they come from here http://cyclelution.webs.com/

You are right there is no more 400W ezee. I misread a for sale thread from last year so I'm sure its all gone. the new question is between a geared MAC motor (8T) from cell man or the crystallite 3540 from ebikes .ca I am trying to compormis between speed and the huge hills around here...

thanks for the feedback. I was also thinking that a 48v battery will be the way to go. I am still trying to figure out the most cost effective (and safe) 48v but I'm sure that would be a whole new thread.

I am in Vancouver so I think stopping by ebikes.can will work best for me. I noticed they have an older model ezee 400w for $300. I'm only concerned that it might not pull me up the long hills in north Vancouver as well as the 500w they are selling now. the price seems right though.
