    old KT controller, regen off, but it still does regen.(via throttle)

    Maybe, but I'm worried about the high impedance going in the reverse direction, and that might cause some kind of problem, essentially, because there's no load for the regen to absorb, if you know what I mean.

    old KT controller, regen off, but it still does regen.(via throttle)

    I don't think it's quite that simple. As EHP noted above, as you throttle down, it definitely has a regen braking effect until the last 10% or so of the throttle when it starts freewheeling again. Other controllers I have do not have this braking effect as I throttle down. ✅ In motoring mode...

    old KT controller, regen off, but it still does regen.(via throttle)

    I have an older KT controller and I set the C13 parameter to zero, which is supposed to turn off regen braking. Well, technically it probably did because the brake levers perhaps are not doing regen anymore, but the throttle, when you throttle down, is still doing regen. Does anybody know a way...

    Some Questions About 18650 Cells and Designing A Battery

    Pro tip, if you want to get extra life out of your batteries, don't charge them to 4.2 volts. Charge them to 4.1 or something like this. You'll get substantially more life out of your battery pack.No commercial EV manufacturer of any merit actually charges their cells to 4.2 volts. It's just not...

    Blue Dream: Maxarya Ray 2 Semi Recumbent w/high eff mid drive

    engineering wise this is the solution. The motocross looking "I'm a big boy" type forks with telescoping, seals and stiction especially the air sprung ones are really a pet peeve of mine. I wish more like these were available, but of course marketing would never do it because they look weird...

    Making a split battery system: bms wiring questions.

    The balance wires also are used for balancing.... sounds a little funny doesn't it? but yes, there's current going through those wires and depending on the BMS up to two amps and I'm worried that if the Chinese software doesn't turn off the current and take a voltage reading now and then in a...

    Making a split battery system: bms wiring questions.

    I'm building a new battery pack out of some salvaged 60Ahr LG automotive cells. These are fairly bulky and the only way I can see fitting it on my bike(s) is by splitting the system into two halves. Right now I'm considering a 12S total system because it makes at least both halves be the similar...

    what is preferred? KT or S866 for replacement controller-display combo?

    is the FOC technology, the one that can run a bit faster but consumes a somewhat more power while doing so?

    What unreasonable demands are the US making to 'resolve' tariffs for your country

    I heard there's some truth to the rumors that some countries charge some tariffs on goods from the U.S. trying to enter their country. Could this really be true?

    [USA] Will Tariffs come about and lead to higher priced ebike parts

    I'm in Europe. Do you guys think that these tariff things between the US and China Will make prices go up or down in Europe for bicycle parts, etc?

    Spring seat suspension bouncing - is elastomer better?

    I have a thudbuster seatpost on my hardtail bike as well. It really helps a lot, turns it into basically a halfway full suspension bike. I only do street riding with it, but it made a big difference. The rearward travel of the seat as it hits bumps takes a little bit getting used to, but then...

    Turn on Bosch Powerpack 500 for accessory usage

    I have a Bosch power tube that I wired so I can get the power bypassing its BMS and it worked okay for me. I charge it through the Bosch connector. Maybe my power tube is older and doesn't have all these ridiculous soft-destruct mechanisms.

    What would be the reason for the dual rear suspension on this "Triple Suspension Foldable E-bike?"

    Someone explain to me how he got about 2 meters of air with no ramp or hill or any other thing like this nearby. I am calling it a doctored image.
