I've seen these recommended in another thread: http://australia.rs-online.com/web/p/products/0286175/ I actually tried buying a few a while back but they were way overcharging for shipping so I changed my mind. Maybe I should buy a bunch a sell em' cheap on ES...

If you're particularly worried about burning up your motor, just install a temperature probe. Then you'll always know if you're overdoing it and can dial down the power a bit if you're reaching the limit. This way you can get the full power out of your motor and never worry about burning it...

I had the same exact problem as the OP and was looking for a non insulated crimper in addition to a powerpole crimper. I eventually chose the Andy Crimp pro because it can do 15/30/45/75 amp terminals, and the tri-crimp can't do 75. They also have a non-insulated terminal die you can get for...

My original (and current) idea is to put the batteries in the frame as well. I wanted to put 8Ah in the triangle and an additional 8Ah up front near the handlebars. On road, the front mount batteries works so incredibly well that I have haven't felt any need to create a triangle battery...

Hey looks like you're building something nearly identical to my bike! I used an older kona stinky, which I believe has the same frame as the coiler, with an HT3525 and 82V lipo. I can therefore predict a few of the problems you are going to run into. If you use DB torque arms you are going to...

You are correct I had a rocking issue, but that was due to regen. My solution was... just don't use regen. I've only tested it out on low regen a couple of times like in the video I posted, so that wouldn't be nearly enough to cause this problem. The axle nuts were always kept very tight with...

Yes Yes Mine were too, spent quite a while using my metal file to get rid of all the corrosion on the side I epoxied Just cleaned it with alchohol Yep, clamped it down hard

Tried pulling the other side off and... pop goes the torque arm. I even was able to pull out the derailleur hanger than I epoxied in. In other words, my torque arm install was a complete and utter failure. Thank god my stinky's dropouts are apparently pretty strong on their own. I'm honestly...

You need a Greyborg or Crystalyte 54XX motor for that. Before you jump off the deep end, you might want to give this thread a quick read so you know what you're getting yourself into: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36830

Thanks, I'm pretty sure that the torque arm that is still attatched is fine. The one that fell off looked sketchy from the get go, but I was still surprised because I thought DP420 was nearly indestructible. I'll stick with one torque arm for now while I try to figure out a good torque arm...

So I tried removing my rear wheel a few days ago and to my surprise, one of my Doctorbass torque arms fell off! Yes, I used the DP420, but my alignment wasn't particularly good on the one that fell off. Anyways, while I rethink my torque arm situation, is it safe to ride my bike with only...

I'm using one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Supply-24V-DC-750W-31-3A-CNC-Servo-Stepper-Motor-/270867517540?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f10f65064#ht_527wt_1396 Works well with no mods needed and cheap for a real meanwell. I think i'm only getting about 500W output from my hyperion...

On a forum that universally hates snobbery from traditional bikers, I find that snobbery towards prebuilt e-bikes to be unfortunate. In the end we all just wanna have fun on ebikes, if someone wants to spend a couple hundred more having someone else build it I don't see the problem. In fact...

I really don't get the HPC hate on this site. I've dealt with them and they are really nice guys who have been nothing but responsive and helpful. Yes, their advertised specs are maximum and not continuous usage, and they will explain those details when you chat with them. The lifepo...

I've been looking for pretty much the same type of connector to quickly convert my 22S2P pack to 11S4P for balance charging on my hyperion. I'm using 6mm hxt bullets from hobbyking in a similar configuration, but I'll probably switch to powerpole 45A connectors. That is, unless someone can...
