    First E-Bike build

    I've had my EM3ev bbs02/36v/500w system on my 29er hardtail now for about a month and love it. I'm using a 36v/10ah bottle battery from a previous hub motor build. I live in the hills of Oakland, CA and have had no issues with climbing. My build is PAS only. I also went for the bling ring...

    Battery indicator goes down on a hill climb but then goes ba

    Great analogy. Thanks. So, how should I determine percentage charge left on the battery? When the "pressure" stabilizes, I assume the voltage is going to be accurate for determining the charge left?

    Battery indicator goes down on a hill climb but then goes ba

    (My post title got truncated... "Battery indicator goes down on hill climbs, but goes back up on descents or flat... Why?") I'm trying to get an accurate gauge on how much battery charge I really have left -- it's hard to gauge when it goes up and down during a ride. After a 10m ride on hilly...

    Mid-drive conversion question

    I just got my EM3EV BBS02/36v/25a/500w kit yesterday. Installed it on my Kona Mahuna and a few hours later was up and running. I am repurposing a 36v 10ah bottle battery from a direct drive kit I used to have on my bike. Today, I went out for a very hilly ride for around 16 miles and returned...

    Controller+display cuts out at random times

    Hi. I got a 350w 36v/10ah geared hub drive kit from Electric Bike Outfitters (EBO Phantom http://www.electricbikeoutfitters.com/ebo-phantom.aspx). The kit is comprised of a KT-LCD3 display and a controller embedded directly into the battery bottle harness (this appears to be it...

    KT-LCD3 speed sensor turns off when motor is not on...

    Should the white wire from the motor continue to be connected to the controller? Right now I have both the white wire from the motor and the external speed sensor connected to the white wire on the controller.

    I didn't try connecting it to ground... I'll do that next. Yes, I did confirm that the speed sensor was switching.

    Thanks @d8veh. I tried this out this morning, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's what I did: Any other ideas?

    KT-LCD3 speed sensor turns off when motor is not on...

    Not sure that's it. Upon further inspection, my kit uses a custom embedded controller setup from Kunteng http://www.szktdz.com/en/news_show.php?article_id=361. This controller doesn't seem to have a separate speed sensor input.... so it's probably just getting it from the motor. Anyway, while I...

    KT-LCD3 speed sensor turns off when motor is not on...

    I just recently installed an EBO Phantom kit from Electric Bike Outfitters http://www.electricbikeoutfitters.com/ebo-phantom.aspx. It's 350w geared hub motor+36v/10ah and comes with a KT-LCD3. One thing that's really annoying is that when in PAS mode and I'm not pedaling, the speed sensor goes...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Here's my recently converted 2014 Kona Mahuna. I used the EBO Phantom kit https://electricbikereview.com/electric-bike-outfitters/ebo-phantom-kit/ (350w geared hub + 35v/10Ah bottle battery battery). Love it so far.
