    My Negative AmpedBikes Review

    YOUKOGURL I am sorry about your experience with ampedbikes. I put three of their kits into service over the last 3 years and found their products to be accurately advertised. The oldest one is still going strong and tows a trailer to the grocery store all year round. Also, Dave always returned...

    A better SLA?

    Interesting . . . . Apollo Energy Systems, Inc. (AES), Lead Foam Cobalt Batteries. Interesting, but still wetcells - designed to compete with Lithium. http://youtu.be/r95OI0rD7Dk or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r95OI0rD7Dk

    Phantom APP07L2-BS12 Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Powers

    Does anyone know anything about these 12 volt motorcycle starter batteries? I can't find much detail. They are available locally and claim to be 12 volt 7ah LiFePO4. My local battery dealer has them on sale...

    A new build, the same questions.

    To Wesnewell BEFORE I did work on the freewheel, I SENT Yescomusa many email messages. They were kind enough to pick up the phone and call me. I sent them VIDEO showing the Freewheel sticking. They said they could refund $60 but that was the extent of it. I accepted their offer. I regret that...

    A new build, the same questions.

    What kit did you buy that you had to cut the motor wires to replace a freewheel? I know it wasn't a kit from yescomusa, as you don't have to cut anything to replace the freewheel. You need a freewheel removal tool with a larger hole for all hub motor axles. Wes, the eBay name was yescomusa...

    A new build, the same questions.

    I did not fare to well with an ebay rear wheel setup. When I installed it and took it for a test, I noticed that the freewheel hung up upon every rotation when coasting. The seller offered some money but would not take the kit back for a refund. In order for me to replace the freewheel, I had to...

    Feasible Idea: Bicycle Trailer full of SLA Backup Batteries

    Dogman. . . Who would argue that LiFeP04's are not better than SLAs for mobile use? I wouldn't have posted anything but this Thread seemed up my alley. As a mechanical engineer, easing the burden using levers and wheels seemed natural. As a tightwad, I wanted to see how long I can milk every...

    Feasible Idea: Bicycle Trailer full of SLA Backup Batteries

    I've been using my SLA battery trailer for a year now, even through the Winter. I love the thing because it keeps the weight off the bike and lets it feel more responsive. It also allows me to find a compromise between $$$$$ LiFePO4s and $ SLAs. This trailer has 36 Volts at 18 AH. I did change...
