Hey Guys, I have a question that I am hoping that someone here can shed some light on. I have one of these http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/inverter-chargers/freedom-hf-newgen.aspx and it is installed in my RV. It works wonderfully and I have no complaints. The problem arises when I have...

I love this forum. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the talk on this, it has been helpful. Once again you have argued all sides and have helped me make a decision. I am leaning towards adding 24v to my 48v Thanks again everyone. Of course when this all goes down expect a thread. :D

Theoretical question here First the setup. I have a bike with a 1000w motor. I currently run a 48 volt 20ah Lifepo pack and get pretty decent performance. If I am going up hills at about 35km/h I am pushing about 1600 watts according to my ca. On the flat I reach around 45-48 km/h. I am using...

Awesome. 12T it is then. Cheers.

No nothing stupid crazy or anything. I have two bikes I ride. One is my "commuter bike" that I have talked about quite a bit on Ed already http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41512 and I use it for my speedy little trips around town. That bike has road tires and no...

Omg why can't this be simple? Lol I just want a hill climber lol

Sorry if I seem to be asking the same question over and over, but if I am buying a hub motor for my bike, and I have the option of more or less turns, and my objective is hill climbing power over higher speed, should I be ordering one with more or less turns? I a, assuming that this is why they...

Soooooooo more turns means more torque? And that means better hill climbing power?

Why is this up for debate? Hasn't anyone tested this before? I can't be the first one asking a question like this.

Can anyone give me a good detailed explanation on how the number of turns relates to motor characteristics? I am just a little confused on why someone would want more or less turns in their motor. I am looking at buying a Mac geared motor for my full size mtb and have been talking to cell man...

In your signature you list the prices for all the parts you've used on your bike except for your battery pack I'm wondering if you would be kind enough to break down the costs of what you bought as well as your charger and harnesses etc. I am really curious about what it actually costs to build...

Don't apologize for stating the obvious. Even though I already knew this I'm sure my other friend there doesn't so by all means please give me even the complicated and the simple you can never have too much information.

Apparently lots of people are using RC Lipo batteries for Ebikes. To answer your second question know when you put them in series you double their voltage and when you put them in parallel you doubled their amperage. What I'm trying to do is figure out how to economically build a second...

I am not using 60v right now. I am using 48v 20ah
