Great Karl, why not use 1000V and get a million watts. (Maths not to scale) Motors are rated for their constant current draw. Sure they can go above it, but they can't hold it indefinitely. If you are pedaling you won't draw full load but manufacturers have to provide warranties. I'm glad it...

Check YouTube for how to fix a buckle in a bike wheel. This will give you a good understanding of how the spoke tensions work so you can fix buckles in the future.

The pas seems to work by generating a pulsing dc voltage each time the magnet moves past the sensor. I say dc (possibly diode) because it doesn't work if the magnets are flipped around, allowing you to pedal backwards without triggering the motor to go. Anyways, I've been having trouble with my...

I was looking at getting this 1000w kit but was put off by the direct drive as I like to reach 50-60kmhr downhill. I thought this motor would have resistance trying to get to these speeds so i was looking at mid drives but if you say the speed of the motor unloaded in the air is 69kmhr, this kit...

If the battery went dead in 38 minutes it means you were drawing an average of 15.8amps which is about 750 watts. I think the motor is a 750watt motor with a peak of 1000w. Looks like you were drawing the full load that the motor can maintain without overheating, did the motor feel hot? 53kmhr...

That 10Ahr battery will get you further than your 3 miles back from the local pub. You will be able to drink at some far away exotic watering holes now. Cable ties are your friend, stuff the excess wires into that bag and it will neaten up.

One battery stores (36x10) 0.36 kilowatt hours and the other has 0.48kWhrs. So I'm not surprised the 48v goes further, it has more energy. The power drawn from the battery by the motor is not dependant on the power rating of the motor, it is dependant on the load placed on the motor. If a...

You could try using book face as a Web host. upload images to Facebook, set privacy to 'only me' if you don't want to share them. Then right click, copy image url, paste the link here. I would like to install this kit on my road bike but I don't think I will have enough room between the...

Pics.

Hombre, my charger is not hot at all, mine is the 8Ahr battery but I presume the same charger? I'de be very surprised if the 250watt 36v motor couldn't take 48V. Which would make it produce 444watts at startup. But once it's going, it won't be drawing 444watts so it will cool down. Depends how...

it could be residual magnetism in the Reed switch causing it to stay on. Try flipping the proximity sensor around and holding it up to the magnets, so you are sacking the Reed switch back in the other direction to unstuck it. And a light tap, worth a try.

Just installed it, great kit, amazing feeling jumping on the bike for the first time not knowing what to expect then the the power kicks in throwing you back, hanging onto the handle bars to keep you upright. I think you're pushing the pro-verbial up hill trying to make a universal kit for all...

Hi, this thread is a good read, thought ide jump in with my simple solution to mounting the PAS. I cut the center out just snug enough to fit around the base of the crank arm, aligned it using the sensor as a guide so it rotates without wobble, then used plastic putty to hold it in place...
