Okay, so I have scrapped the free wheeling idea and have gone and ordered some kit. This Motor: http://tinyurl.com/turnigymotor This ESC: http://tinyurl.com/hobbykingesc60a This Servo Tester: http://tinyurl.com/turnigyservotester I'm looking at this to power it all...

Okay, thanks to all of you for your help. Kolby, which of your ESC's lets the motor actively free wheel and what RC model feature is it that allows it to do that? (for example would it be 'throttle signal loss protection' that allows it to do this?) Thanks again for all your help!

Okay, so some of you may be aware Im trying to build a friction drive and I was wondering, if I decided to deactivate the motor but it was still engaged with the wheel and I continued to pedal (essentially turning the motor when it was powered down) would that damage the brushless motor or the...

Hi I have posted before but didn't really have any clue what I was doing. Now I have a bit more of an idea so was wondering if you could help or point me in the right direction on the forum. Okay, so I'm palnning on building a friction drive. Lots of 3D printed parts and stuff and these are the...

Okay Thankyou! As I know very little about batteries what type would you recommend? Like Nickle-Cadmium or Lithium Ion or something similar?

Ah, okay. Thanks very much! Have you seen anyone use these sorts of solar panels before? Or any particular ones you would recommend?

Best way to recharge batteries while cycling? Circuitry, Ideas, etc. Thanks :)

Looking at batteries to power my new e-Bike project. Needs about 250Wh i think but you guys are the experts really? To power 250w motor about 30 miles but only as a cycle assist. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi, just starting up on a new project for an e-bike. I have quite a bit of experience in electronics but never take on something like this before. Was wondering what motors I would be looking at for a front driven friction motor? Needs to be 250w and reach 18mph max really. Any advice? Thanks :)
