So did I , just hope I can get down there....and get off work. Got a neice in Colorado, maybe that one would be good too.

6) ? Unknown red and black wires and red connector - (edit:seen photo on google images saying it might be a headlight (battery meter? Anti theft?)) I bought a new controller (ended up it wasn't controller) with wires with this anti-theft labeling on it....would anybody venture a guess what...

ykick that link is handy,thanks

I connected throttle to controller(not motor) and now read 4.8 or so volts after connecting power to controller, but going to wait for new throttle. Original throttle is suspected to be worn out, been in the rain to much. dv8 or other---do you know the symptoms of a defective controller as...

I got the same tester , as of now you got it working better than I did...not so good instructions. My FETS tested out OK also--tested them with simple meter right on the board.....test red,green,black throttle wires going to the throttle, should get around 5volts, this is where my controller...

Glad your OK " My worst injuries are a knee that hurts when i walk, a pulled tendon in my leg, and chest pains esp when I cough or sneeze...." Sounds like a busted and/or cracked rib to me....I've had the same(not from bike accident tho)...where it hurt when coughing and/or...

Thanks guys..... seems like an advantage over the regular hub motor deal. Bigger the hub motor more drag in my experience. It's a big thread,I'll keep reading....

Pardon me for not being able to go thru whole thread, but when no juice is being applied what parts are being turned aside from your normal crank,gears to wheel torque,ect.(via just pedaling) needed to push bike forward? Another way of saying this,besides extra weight near bottom bracket...

LipoPo batteries shouldn't lose capacity permanently left in the cold properly charged to a storage voltage of 3.8 volts per cell, on the contrary I understood the cold should extend their lifespan. Yes a cold battery has less capacity temporarily as long as it's cold that I understand unless...

thanks friendly1uk, One more question----that company besttechpower seems to sell only the circuit-board? I don't see no monitor/meters of sorts, I'm assuming this is the bms motherboard? to be accordingly rigged up?

if anybody could in a short answer ----what's the difference between a bms and a cycle analyst also? Would help explain a bms I think. Seems like some overlap here. Also the difference with the cell-log 8(threw that in as well)

' What concerns me is the DC voltage rating.Have you used that switch a number of times? Not just once I mean. My voltages go up to 72-74 volts DC. Not sure though on my amperages though as I need to get a proper riding cycle monitor. DC voltages seem to arc worse than AC voltages....

' I'm less worried about the controller heating up than getting the controller wet as I had one controller fry due to my bike being locked up under open sky and i thought the controllers were supposed to be waterproof???!!! But yes controller heat-up would be a concern, but so far have...

Sorry I had to figure how to upload from my camera to a new pc. Will try again.

"now i just need to get some sheet metal an either have it welded or use lots of rivets an corner pieces with silicon waterproofing all round" Before you buy sheet metal let me show you what I tried........I need to photo my bike controller waterproof solution(not saying it's so good...
