the fuse has just blown on my point one lipo.. 36v the marking are really feint.. looks like 5Ag50A does this look right ?

Hey D.. I've been away for a while and am catching up on your thread.. but i can't find how you have overcome running the two batteries together.. if the 55v bms was an issue :?: my new bike is running at 48v.. 1 point 1 lipo 36v and 1 sla 12v... with crystalite 36-72v 35amp controller...

Thanks guys.. Knoxie i've got to blame you in part.. it was watching your vids that got me into building a puma power fun mobile in the first place :D this accident though was'nt in a cycle lane but on a cycle/foot path.. we do have some cycle lanes around here but they do seem pretty...

hi guys.. been away for a while :( licking my wounds and nursing my bruises.. bike lasted less than a week before a b*@tch in a 4x4 ran me down... on a cycle path :evil: :evil: :evil: but about the bike everyone that jumped on came back with a grin on their face.. most couldnt believe...

Thanks for your help guys :)

thanks xyster.. think i'd be happy with 30mph.. so how many volts do i need for that ? and can i add another battery to the li-po without upsetting the bms ? now it's working I NEED MORE POWER .haha!! :D

well it's all up and running :D the bike feels super light.. but not got it on the scales yet.. a bit dissapointed with the top speed.. 21mph !! but the torque is awesome :) you can feel the front end lifting when you open the throttle.. haha!! great for dodging through the alleys and...

a few pics..

Talking of the brakes... although the puma has mounting for a disc, i'll be leaving the rear with rim brakes.. it's got an hydraulic magura race light, which is superb.. i'll obviously be going with a disc at the front.. still yet to find one though as the rockshox boxxer does'nt use an iso...

i think i'm more worried about the back tyre hitting the battery rack.. just fitted a new SCHWALBE "MARATHON PLUS" tyre.. and would hate to take a chunk out of it :o

I'll take a close up picture of the suspension set up and post it later.. GT won the world MTB title with this bike years back when suspension first took off.. i think the idea is that when there is tension on the chain, i.e. pedalling on the flat.. then the rear end is fairly rigid.. No...

Well i've got my bits from Team Hybrid :D And i've fitted a set of Rocksox boxxer forks.. makes the bike heavier but they've got 7 inches of travel.. ready for dropping off some big kerbs. haha!! but they do give the bike a nice attitude.. along with a few others here, i think that if...

fechter.. i know what it's like to be unable to get hold of the goodies you want / need.. a few years back i saw the slipstream bike on the web and thought, i want one of those.. ended up shipping a scott 24v 1hp motor over from the states :? and since then its been sat in the garage because...

Going for motor in the rear.. mark says it will have room for a 7 speed cassette.. think i'll bin the front changer and run a single sprocket on the front..

Hi all.. Been hanging around trying to gather info for a while.. now it's time to start my project.. Nothing spectacular.. A puma motor running at 36v to start off with :D Ordered motor and a 36v Li-po battery from Team Hybrid today.. Going to be in a 26" wheel as it's for road and cycle path...
