    EM3EV DD 500W Kit - 50km

    Hey Calab, I also have a "29in" mountain bike. A diamondback overdrive to be specific. I just converted it to an electric bike using EM3ev's Upgraded 10T Geared Motor with the 700c (29") Alex Rim. With it, I also got a CA v3 (unnecessary, but nice, stealthier without), 50V 18.5 Ah Li Battery...

    Battery Not Charging - MAC Kit - 50V 18.5Ah Battery

    Thank all of you for the quick replies. It works now. I checked as many of you said on the back of the charger and the red switch was set to 220V. This makes sense, as that's probably the Voltage they test it at. I flipped it to 110V and now the lights changed to both red, and the fan is...

    Battery Not Charging - MAC Kit - 50V 18.5Ah Battery

    Hey y'all I am having trouble getting my 50V 18.5Ah Battery from Cellman, to charge. I bought the correct charger for the battery, and I have tried all of the different settings, (O, I, II) which I believe relate to (?, 90%, 100%) respectively. They don't seem to be upping the charge by looks...

    Could use some Assistance Troubleshooting MAC system

    Thank you for the in-depth reply Paul. First off, I finally got it working, thanks to everyone's help. The picture containing the hall sensor connections from the motor that you had to insert into the shell yourself is what finally helped me land the answer. I have a copy of this that Paul...

    Could use some Assistance Troubleshooting MAC system

    Yeah... So I just re-examined the controller chart and realized I had the CA plugged into the wrong thing. So the ignition is now plugged back in where it's supposed to, and it works a little bit. Now that it works, and the CA lights up! :) The motor is only working on bursts when I pull the...

    Could use some Assistance Troubleshooting MAC system

    @mark5 They are both male connectors, nor would the pins be aligned if they were opposing connections. @wenewell What does shorting 5V to ground mean? I believe the controller came like this and I didn't put that jumper plug on it. I bought the kit from Paul @ Em3ev. Appreciate the input.

    I was thinking about that too. Does it have to be aligned with the 2 pins? I'll go check it out and try it. Thanks.

    Could use some Assistance Troubleshooting MAC system

    @footloose, we got 6-8in of snow here in Eugene, OR, and my finals keep being delayed. My persuasive speech teacher became tired of delaying the final and making students wait for the snow to melt, while the school keeps saying it is going to open the next day and doesn't. She just cancelled our...

    About to get a MAC motor - Input Appreciated!

    Thank you guys for the replies. Good point about the time on the finals, but I can't be constantly studying. I need to use this electric bike to ride around in the snow right now! It just snowed ~8 inches here in Eugene, OR. Usually it only snows around 0-2inches on the valley floor. I have...

    About to get a MAC motor - Input Appreciated!

    Shipping charges were hefty. I think it was a bit over $200 USD for shipping everything: Battery, wheel, motor, accessories. I think the customs and duties were included within that price. I have everything installed and hooked up; Wheel with motor and 7sp freewheel Rear torque arm CA v3...

    EM3EV DD 500W Kit - 50km

    The CA screen does not light up. I tried it without the CA first and it didn't work. I will try again, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Dnmun, How do I fix the bad connection? And how would I go about turning the BMS on? Thanks for the input.

    EM3EV DD 500W Kit - 50km

    Thank you guys, that makes great sense. When I plugged the batter into the charger, both lights, red and green, were on the whole time and didn't change. Also, I keep rechecking my battery - Controller - CA - ignition connections, but I can't seem to find anything that I've done wrong. The...

    EM3EV DD 500W Kit - 50km

    Thank you very much drebikes! I feel silly, I didn't realize it said DD in the title. Although, it's still pretty much the same kit and principles of hooking it up. Great answers, you helped me out a lot, and I understood your layout with the nut/tab_washer/frame. That was a very thorough way...
