Thanks for the info everyone! really useful!

Thanks! So when I recharge it, should I just charge it to 72v?

Just in case anyone else is struggling with this, it seems that you do need to plug the connectors into each other. After doing this the speedo and power meter are working on the display and an exclamation mark appears on the display when I use the brakes. I would assume that this connector...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of putting together a self built high power ebike using a chinese Enduro frame, Sabvoton 7280 controller, 3kw hub motor and a 72v battery I bought second hand off ebay. It's proving pretty daunting as I've never done anything like this but very gradually it's...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of putting together a high power ebike with 3kw hub motor and a Sabvoton SVMC7280 controller. So far it's going alright, I've done the hall test and set the parameters and the wheel goes round when I turn the throttle etc. However there are two three pin...

It would be nice to pedal at high speeds but I guess not essential. Have you got a hub motor?

That's a great idea but I don't think there's anywhere to attach a front derailleur on a EEB frame.

Yes that's true. I was hoping to have a bit more options for gears though. Maybe it's not necessary though.. I've never ridden a high power ebike. I have a haibike sduro at the moment with a hub drive motor which needs the same gears as a regular bike but then the motor is a fraction of the power.

One of those ebike frames with a hollow central compartment with the battery etc in. Like the Stealth bomber ones but not so heavy.

So just bend the frame out a bit so it can fit in a larger freewheel? Won't there be a danger of the wheel axel being too short if I do that?

Yes I just want a better selection of gears for pedalling. I realise that when you get to a heavy 5kw bike, pedalling isn't contributing that much but I'd like to be able to pedal to keep fit and stay warm in winter. Also I'm thinking with the option of a large sprocket on the back if the...

Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology. I don't really mind if I have to fit a freewheel to the bike. My main aim is to have more than a single speed on the back. It seems like with the qs motor there's only enough room for one gear. quote=amberwolf post_id=1533155 time=1582955537...

Hi everyone, I planning a high power ebike build using an enduro frame which I plan to get registered as a moped and use for my 30 mile commute. I'm in the process of getting the parts together. I understand the qs v3 hub motor is considered one of the better ones the only drawback seems to...

Hi everyone, just wanted to say thanks for all the great advice and post an update. I decided to stick with the Haibike for the time being but did some mods to get it going a bit faster. I lowered the handlebars and slammed the stem to make it a bit more aerodynamic and put thinner slicker...

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting an ebike conversion kit for commuting and would like some advice about which one would be the right one for me. first I'll explain my current situation and what I'm hoping to achieve by building my own ebike. I have quite a long commute, 30 miles each way...
