I got my bike and charger out and charged it up. I went to charge the battery last night and couldn't find the charger. I also realized I no longer have a spare. I loaned it out and the person moved. I think I put it someplace safe and out of harms way. I still have some capacity left, but I...

I had just been thinking about it. I know someone with a trike and uses it to haul cargo and lives where there are big hills, etc. In general I was thinking of some sort of cargo type, likely made of steel micromobillity device, not so much a bike. The ones on the older style mini bike frames ...

I've been wondering if old batteries for electric cars, which run at much higher voltages, might at the end of their automotive life have enough power in them to use for some smaller EV. Maybe not a bike because the car batteries are bigger and too bulky for a bike. I was reading about Leaf...

Here are a few that I found online. I searched on low profile cable glands and later learned another term a https://midanelec.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=40&products_id=1040 https://www.indexmarine.com/product/dg45pb_waterproof_cable_gland/...

Sorry, I just meant through the battery case I have to build. The pack itself has padding and some protective plastic and shrink wrap, but is not itself waterproof nor directly mountable. It is a triangle pack and will fit in a triangular space with different angles.

I need to build a thin battery case to mount to a spot on a frame. There is plenty of room in some places, pretty tight others. The place where the wires come out the the pack are in a pretty tight area. The pretty common cable glands, especially for a larger cable like coming from the battery...

Thanks, I found this one on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4283377. Looks like I'll give it a try.

I'm going to be building a new bike in a few months and have found an stl file for a triangular battery case. I'll probably have to adapt it some, but is is a start. I also use XT90 connectors and would like to continue to do so. I have found some commercially available female XT60 panel mount...

Thanks, hadn't thought of looking on Etsy. Quite a few places.

I'll take a look for it. I don't really have a pattern and I figure the bag maker would be better at it. I had one made a number of years ago by someone in Colorado, but know he no longer does it. I did find another place in Colorado that makes them and sent them a note after I posted this and...

I know there used to be individuals or small businesses that would make custom triangle bags for battery packs for the frame you have. Triangle packs and bags were much less common then though. There are many manufactured ones that are pretty adaptable now. However, I will be mounting a...

I'm thinking in this case, maybe in the case of all geared motors this may be why the manufacturer didn't include a fourth speed sensor hall sensor. On the other hand I've seen direct drive motors that use halls that don't have the sixth wire either. I was thinking I could turn the whole thing...

I hadn't mentioned that it was a geared motor, I'm more familiar with direct drive ones, but it in fact is a geared motor, so the speed and odometer from a hall signal will probably be incorrect. I hadn't thought of that. I was planning on using one of the hall wires to in addition to...

I have seen some mentions of this in other posts about Hall sensors, but I haven't found a post just about this. Some of the other comments make sense and others don't so I thought I'd do a post just on this subject. I am setting up an older ebike that has a good motor with a new controller...

Attached are a couple pictures As I mentioned earlier the opening size 31.2mm (1-1/4") Long x 19.9mm (3/4") wide x 4.5-5.0mm (~0.18") frame thickness I used the word oval, I've since learned the correct term is oblong. I still have only found larger sizes than this. I also sent a message in...
