For some reason I read "have a terrible track record" so if you read the last post before i deleted it... ya I'm pretty invested I'm a few thousand dollars in, but I'm still in the "waiting for parts phase". This is a pretty amazing resource BTW, I've been mining it for the past hour...

I'm currently building a hybrid out of my 1993 honda del sol with 330k on the OD. I've ordered a pair of these motors form QS http://www.qs-motor.com/product/3000w-8000w-electric-car-hub-motor273-model/ and waiting for them in the mail. Once they arrive I'll machine two hubs that will fit in the...

A small compactor bank could do the same thing. don't quote me on this but most regen controllers should stabilized the volts coming in.

Truing normally only deals with the vertical axis, its only the left and right displacement, it sounds like the bike shop only worked on truing it. You need to round your wheel, you do that much the same way as truing but with all the spokes (left and right) on a part of the wheel. if the wheel...

If you weld the gears to the motor casing then it will run at one one, but im sure that will kill your motor in no time, unless you say at speeds of maybe 4 miles per hour. its not worth your investment. you can probably get a small DD for 60, 70 bucks, motor alone.

No way, thats nuts 600 cycs for a li-poly at that price range!?

They might send your bike to hell faster then strapping a stick of dynamite on it but for 20 bucks, Come on now thats 48v 12ah back for $160. http://cgi.ebay.com/12V-Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery-CCTV-Cam-6800mAh-2-/280641111464?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item41578385a8#ht_2713wt_952

Ya sorry about that, i mean ebikekits.com Their geared motor seems to be the same dimensions and weight as a mac motor. If it was the same, i was hoping to be able to replace the gears just in case of failure.

Ive tried searching the forms and couldn't find the answer, Im looking to buy there geared motor and im thinking its a mac, but im not sure.

Wow that seems very reasonable, I might do that. ill keep my eye out but this looks promising. Thanks gtad

This is probably the most creative battery build I've see so far.

So I've been looking though my options, but it seems a bit over whelming. Though id ask for a little help My previous bike was a Montagues with a 1000 watt hubby but it was stolen a week ago while i was at work. A few of my friends (great people) got together and pitched in to buy me a Sirrus...

Oh and also thats the same motor i have, conhismotor have 2 types of motors the mini and that one, everything else is based on the controller. if you're going to buy a new controller you can just get a 48v 1000 and it will run fine this is the one i have, all the wiring works fine except you...

this is the same problem i had with the same brand of motor, i ran it for a few minutes before it died with the same symptoms.after trying to isolate the problem in the controller for a few days i just gave up and brought a new one. you can get a 24v controller online for around 13 bucks, after...
