    Add thumb throttle to Hoptown 500: possible? how?

    bienvenido al foro paisano ; ) "But I unterstand that in 5 pins conector, red and black wires are 5v, and the signal wire must be solder into the controller box?" correct, I didn't found the signal we require in any external cable, so I had to solder the wire directly in the PCB. For the 5V...

    Add thumb throttle to Hoptown 500: possible? how?

    Hi Cesar (Italian?), to the date it works perfect, with 0 breakdowns. I enjoy it a lot : D Could you post a photo of that connector? Connector from where, the controller? What thumb throttle do you have, if you already bought one?

    Stay strong man! Maybe the return to work will be positive overall, the routine may help your head to catch up with everything, focus on other things/responsibilities and get over this situation bit by bit

    Modify "dumb" charger to do a storage charge

    There's something I didn't had in mind with the "dumb" charger, the charging algorithms. The output of the charger measured with the multimeter (without anything connected) is equal to the "full charge" voltage, but once the battery is plugged, the "not that dumb" charger should do this, right...

    well guys... INSTALLATION SUCCESS!!!!! YESSSSSS : D : D : D Not an easy path. First problem was that there's no space in the holes for the connectors in the bike chassis, the JST and the other plug from the throttle won't pass in the tiny space available so I had to leave them outside the bike...

    Modify "dumb" charger to do a storage charge

    wow, thank you guys for all the information. I learnt a lot!! I searched and lab psu's are not as expensive as I thought! There are models where you can adjust up to 60V and the intensity, for a reasonable price. That's great!

    Throttle received! I bought the JST plug too and make the soldering (first time for me). I tested it and... cw3paN3vb64 So far so good :D let's see if I have time tomorrow to the final battle: solder it to the controller! wish me luck : P

    Modify "dumb" charger to do a storage charge

    I'm charging up to a good storage voltage (let's say 38V) to leave the battery there for a few weeks. Problem is that the charger can't set the max voltage (can't set anything, it's just "plug and play"), so it always goes up to the maximum (42V) Well, not the option I had in mind but could...

    Modify "dumb" charger to do a storage charge

    Hello guys! Situation: a relative of mine, following my advice, keeps his battery on a storage voltage during weeks without use. I use a smart charger for that (from RC) but he only have the typical adapter supplied with the bike: So he has to be watching the charge progress with the...

    Add thumb throttle to Hoptown 500: possible? how?

    With this use, sure! I thought in a use including "start from a stop" because of giulio's words ("I'd like to put a button to activate the engine"). Even starting from 0 with our 24V setup maybe the full power is not that much and you could use it like that but... having the option of install a...

    Add thumb throttle to Hoptown 500: possible? how?

    Thank you TommyCat! I'll look carefully for the throttle type, but I'm seeing that it is not specified in a lot of models : ( Hi giulio! As amberwolf explain perfectly, the on / off option is not the best option for your bike (and not for you as well, 0 to full power will not be the most...

    Add thumb throttle to Hoptown 500: possible? how?

    SP was one pad away the SL pad!! And it IS the throttle, hats off to you amberwolf!!! To check that the pad was the throttle and that it works in my controller, I took the advice of TommyCat and made a "nearly 3V" external battery :D : And yeah, it worked!!! Now I just have to order a...
