Yes, it work since 3 years now. Still, the Bolt is the slower EV at fast charge station. Sometime in the cold, despite driving 100-150 km before stopping to charge, the power is reduce to 15-20 kW. GM have done a terrible job on programing of fast charge/battery heating. So we enjoy slow...

Wow! Many thanks for the comments and tips guys. The book julian edgar seem good, but it is like impossible to find a real paper version. I think I would try Fluids6.17. If I can do proper set up that will at least give me the best hightop design.

Hi I have a Vanabolt (a 1980 vanagon with a 2017 Bolt EV powertrain) since 5 years now. Everything work great and it's a blast to drive this van with 150 kW and 60 kW of regen. We enjoy it. Details here: TheSamba.com :: Vanagon - View topic - Vanagon 100% electric with Chevy Bolt drivetrain...

Not a bad idea. Worth the try. Thanks amberwolf.

Hi As you can see first page, I used a Bafang BBS02. I had to cut the frame, quite a bit, to fit the motor.

Any idea?

Ummm! Any idea? I've hard time to believe than nobody know how to program this SW102 display.

I would like to change the SOC display of my SW102 (mini LCD display) on my cargo bike. At the moment it's programmed for 48V battery and only show 100% SOC up to the moment my 14S battery is near empty. So, how to change the SOC range from 43-52V to a more realistic 14S battery voltage...

Hi all So, is anyone had been able to use Echo tool with none Echo 14S battery? I have chainsaw powered by my ebike battery and without handshake the tool stop after few seconds. Please le me know. Thanks

Kids and/or food most of the time. But you can expect us to put many thing in this cargo: mower, another bike, wife, lead acid batt ship to the recycling, steel, dirt and others :)

Still some wires management to do, but the rough result is there. Some tests show 40-42 km/h top speed at cold temperature (-10°C) on flat/no pedaling and without load in the cargo. So I expect a bit more top speed during summer, but anyway it will be perfect for cruising around at 30-35 km/h...

Here is my 14S 15ah chevy Volt battery. I'm pleased with the result. Considering those cells are directly coming from a decade ago, the weight and the volume are a bit high for this 0.777 kWh batt. But I like it specially for the fact it cost me around 100$. If someone ask itself if it's...

What I dislike is not the external controllers, it's the large quantity of loose wires coming with. And to add crank detection, you have to a have more wires and stuff to integrate. Mashup battery? Well, I don't see any problem with this clean and powerful Chevrolet Volt battery with only 2...

Holy crap!!! I google: tsdz2 crank spindle breaks off What a bad engineered shaft! :shock: :shock: :shock: Thanks. I'm happy to learn this before ordering it. It can not be a dangerous problem for my cargo bike, but what about this motor on my mountain bike. Never ever with this shaft...

After looking more and more at the tsdz2, it seem the BB and the motor are really close together. For the BBS02 I found 13mm between BB output and motor (pic) or 29.5mm between BB center and motor. Do anybody have those dimensions for the tsdz2 motor (or one of the red arrow)? I'm fear those...
