That's an option I hadn't really thought of. If the modules weren't such a pain to open It seems it could be a good fix. I just found the time to open them up and it was quite destructive to the module housing. Not much labeling on the cells themselves. Interestingly one of the cells was quite a...

I believe it’s a sevcon controller but I’d have to double check and am unsure on model. I remember looking into reprogramming options a couple of years back and it looked infeasible without shelling out a bunch of cash for the the license/software. I still need to open up the module but I...

Your guess is right that it is used in series with another pack to make a 14s battery. From memory the fully charged voltage is right around 29V per pack. After posting yesterday I had a halfhearted attempt at removing the plastic module cover, though didn't get too far. Either the foam or the...

I have a 7s battery originally supplied with an outboard motor that is in need of repair. One of the 7 cell pairs is totally dead (0mV) and has rendered the pack unusable in its current state. If I could sort out what the cell is/where I might find one I could hopefully get this thing back up...

This is an awesome project. I'd love to see an explanation/diagram for how you are interfacing the ASI controller with the cycle analyst and hub motor. A quick word on tuning/programming would be great too! I've worked with some of the commercial electric outboard offerings out there (torqeedo...

We run a couple of Elco electric outboards at work and over the past year have had all sorts of trouble with them. There's been a lot of shipping defective outboards and/or throttles back and forth for warrantee repairs. Our contact person at Elco is one of the more miserable human beings I've...

This would probably be the most sensible thing, but I'm intimidated by the wiring/programming of the BAC2000. My experience in tweaking controllers is pretty much limited to the grin phaserunners. If I could use the autotune function from the phaserunner program I would be less hesitant. I...

I was looking at something like that, though I didn't think of using a hub motor as the drive sprocket. Sort of like melding the endodrive with the skizee. I think for now I'm going to try and get the BAC 2000 up and running with the motor from a CYC X1 kit. See if that will pull my arms off...

In the last week at least five people have pointed this thing out. It looks like it does everything that I'm after! Just need to electrify it!

That thing would go great on a broomstick!

It might be, though depending on terrain your position relative to the broomstick changes quite a lot. I'm not sure how to place the seat so it doesn't get in the way. For what it's worth your crotch hasn't take too much of a beating! This probably depends on riding style and terrain but for the...

The battery should be capable of quite a lot more than I'm using it for. Looking on the EM3EV specs it says that this battery with 30q cells can do 38A continuous and 55A burst. I have two in parallel so should be able to get quite a lot more than the 50A peaks I'm currently seeing. I have a...

It does alright on hills as long as you keep moving. If you bog down on a steeper section then it has some trouble getting back going. Ideally I would be able to start from a stand still while pointing up a steep hill, but I'm not there yet. As I understand it, options are limited with a hub...

Well, this is more like broomstick number four, but it's hard to give an exact count. Needless to say there were many that came before this. So, what is a broomstick and how does is relate to e-vehicles? Presumably at some point you've seen a witch riding a broom. This is the same thing except...

Here's the 4 battery 72 volt version.
