Roadies are always hostile. I don't think ive ever seen one stick to shared path speed limits or overtake safely. When you actually get the time and stop at the lights and they catch up they will always take cheap shots at you + your bike as well. "cheater, looks pretty heavy, etc etc" I just...

Its alive!!!!!! After hanging around 40v for a day and a half the charger kicked in and topped it up! Now its sitting happily at 58v :D thanks guys !

Thanks a lot for the help guys! That was gonna be my next question "should I leave it on the charger" cos the pack is up at 38.9v today over the 37v yesterday ! :lol:

That's the thing though. Im pretty sure that where the sense wires meet the plug has been glued! Ive peeled a bit of the side off now and see that the rest of the wiring hasn't been glued down anywhere. The pack is an a123 pack from cell_man/emissions-free

I haven't gone yet :| Ive had a pick at it and im pretty sure where the sense wire meets the bms has been glued so im staying back a bit till I figure out the best way to take it apart as it seems theres quite a lot of glue everywhere and I don't want to go tearing anything off yet. Thanks a lot...

So after maybe 2 months of not using my ebike I come back to it and realize I still had the controller plugged in :shock: Realising that I frocked up I connect the charger and it doesn't charge, lights come on and the charger acts like the pack is already full. I check the pack and its limping...

At first i was kind of on the fence for seperate bike lanes, you could easily put them on the road at a fraction of the cost. But now i reckon they are pretty much needed in areas where people commute alot. Its also pretty nice that most of the lycras dont use them(they use the road next to a...

Koolstops for sure. Using the black/red ones atm and am pretty happy with them. I would be a bit careful with some other pads. The mini v-brakes i had on my bike ate my rims in less than 1000km. They were tektro ex3's i think? Clark pads i got from crc or wiggle were too hard and near useless in...

500km on my 350w mac now and its still running well. Time will tell though but it hasnt failed me yet.

Might sound dumb but did you reset the cycle analyst after you fully charged the battery? That might give you a more accurate measure.

The blacktrail/hardtail inspired design looks so badass though even if it isnt exactly a low profile bike. I am still confused as to whether you are making a hardtail or fullsus bike though. Personally I dont really care if the bike isnt perfectly "stealth" because unless you are commuting...

If you are sitting on your penis you probably arent sitting on the saddle properly. Its called a saddle not a seat for a reason. Its really not supposed to take all of your weight for the entire duration of the journey. I notice that alot of so called comfy/commuter seats are nothing than just a...

Love what you are doing! Hopefully that cheapie frame is able to hold up to your testing! I have a few ideas :D Make it so that small wheels dont look absolutely ridiculous on the bike. Some of the recent fs + small wheels builds are a bit on the clown side, maybe adjust the clearance of the...

Rear brakes only = disaster

Uh i think there is a problem with your groups. The same problem the govt has when it does ebike legislation. There is no set "750 watts" with electric motors. And even assuming bikes had their power capped the watt rating still wouldnt mean anything because different hub motors perform...
