Both bikes still going strong My boy rides the pit bike one more than I do It is quite heavy and solid as a rock on the road , rides more like a motorbike The Kona has better acceleration but less top speed As for the controllers, I can't remember which brand they are , they are both from...

Well it's been a while since I posted last The bike still goes well but I blew the greentime controler up and replaced it with a sinewave controller Goes a bit better But I put together a more "bycicle" looking bike Have been riding it lots lately as it's more cycle path friendly It's a 1500...

I have tested I on a 1P setup and it seems to work with the 13 and 14 wires connected will test on the battery I an going to use on to make sure thanks for the info on this fechter

here's the blury pix (bit like my eyesight) i'll try the 2 wires together an see if a battery will accept a charge and balance I was wondering if I should just de-solder the SMD in the 14'th channel ? but putting the 2 wired together seems like it will have similar results

hi guys so I have been sent 2 14s BMS's when I ordered 13S's I read here that it may be possible to use them as 13s is there any tricks to this ?

where did you get the ceiling laundry basket it sure would tidy up our laundry ??

yep I have given up on this parts are in the recycle parts bin thanks for the input guys I have learnt that I cannot fix everything no matter how simple it looks !

I have just taken the board out of the enclosure on the second charger it has a small burn between the AC terminals of the rectifier this is similar to the first one any suggestions or should I cut my losses like fechter implied

OK first off a photo of the bikes this is the "new" second charger that shows no damage but is missing the NTC this next photo is the state of the first charger , I doubt i'll get it going again and although blury this is the "shorted" terminals on the rectifier I'm starting to think...

ok let me clarify first occorance the charger blew its fuse and tripped the house CB I reset the house CB and replaced the fuse (at this stage I opened the charger and couldn't see and damage ) I left the charger open and after plugging into the wall a switched the wall socket on to "see" the...

thanks for the links they were all worth reading so I de-soldered the NTC and I have tested it as best I can it seems OK to me as I put the teaser needles on the terminals there is an initial "0.000" for a second or two then the reading climbs to 5.1ohm and if I heat it on the soldering ion it...

hi guys I have been charging my second e-bike with a Chinese 48v 4a charger for a few weeks when during a normal charge the power blew so I reset the fuse but when I plugged the charger into the wall it blew the house fuse again I looked inside but there was just a bit of burning by the...

Hi all I used a set of pitstar pro forks and hub and I think they are very good for the purpose they ride really well and are about the right weight spring for the weight of the bike each to their own but I would use them again if I could find another set cheep I haven't got headlight shroud...

Hi TJ the 2 white wires are the self learn (very useful) the missing wires are unusual you probably don't need them as you could use the main battery power wires as on off using a circuit breaker or they could be still inside controller ?

ok I have a question is it possible to have 2 controllers on an e bike ? what I mean is can I run my bike on the 72V 80A controller and have a 72V 20A controller that I can switch to if I want to for slower / less jerky response ? / breakdown limp home mode ? I would expect to use a different...
