    Can recharge battery after accidental discharge

    Hi guys, I left the off/on switch ON for several weeks by accident. Drained the 36volt 12 a.h. battery completely. I put the charger on and it now red light just flashes instead of usual solid red. Battery is not charging. I have heard of a way of "awakening" a dead battery. Hope someone has a...

    Prodeco outlaw ss

    Hi guys, been a while since I have made a post. I just acquired a couple of year old Prodeco Outlaw SS off www.propertyroom.com. Its a nice looking bike. Has a hand throttle that is not user friendly. The bike is very torquey and you have to really be on guard with the throttle. I guess I will...

    My Electra Cruiser project

    Hi guys, 9 months ago I installed a mac motor with controller on my electra cruiser. It has worked flawlessly for the past nine months. The last 2 times I took her out with a completely charged battery it failed me when I used the thumb throttle. It felt like a gas engine would feel if not...

    My Electra Cruiser project

    Hi, its been awhile since my last post. I received my Mac kit from Em3ev in China. Must say I was bit over my head with this conversion. There was no instructions at all for the build. The first bike I put together was a front hub motor kit from Ampedbikes.com. They included step by step...

    Hi Guys, If you have read some previous posts I was all set to order the MAC kit from em3ev.com Well, yesterday I found a company only a mile or so from my house that makes really cool e-bikes. The website is BMebikes.com He let me demo a few of his bikes. I told Tim the owner about my plan...

    My Electra Cruiser project

    Hi, just finalizing my ordering of Mac kit to Paul at Em3 ev. He stated that the 9 fet 30amp controller should be o.k but I should also order the cable to be able to re-program if I need to. I am not the most computer saavy person. I guess since I will be using a 36v battery until I purchase a...

    Thanks , I am ordering the 10t motor, flywheel for my 7speed, controller 9fet 30 amp 36v -52v, thumb throttle, I already have a 36v lithium battery and a electra 7d beach cruiser to convert. Some say I may shorten the life of the battery with that high amp controller. I'm hoping Paul can adjust...

    My Electra Cruiser project

    Hi, will be ordering a Mac kit in next couple of days. What is the 3 speeds switch and what does it do. My guess is that you are able to push it and it gets you to 3 different speeds. Maybe 10mph, 15mpg and 22 mph without messing with the throttle and then you push the brake cutoff to cancel. I...

    Hi, I have one of those 36v 12 a.h. lithium batteries that slide onto your rack and can be locked and turned on an off with a key. Can anyone recommend a supplier with a decent price and reputation that offers the battery in a lockable slide out format. This time I want a 48v 12 a.h. Thanks in...

    Thanks guys for your excellent input. The video will be very helpful. Yes I have a 7 speed. Will definately order the freewheel and 2 torque arms for safety. I didn't know you can make adjustments on the controller. How is that done?

    It took a minute for the penny to drop on the Mighty Volts pun. I was driving to play tennis and it struck me. Well actually more than a minute.

    My Electra Cruiser project

    My only reason for doing the front was ease of installation. Is there any forum member in the Northridge /L.A. area that could help me out if I got stuck on the installation of a rear hub motor? If so I would definately go with the rear. No coaster brakes. Standard front and rear friction type...

    My Electra Cruiser project

    Alright you guys. My head is spinning with all the data you guys supplied. I'm not complaining but my head is about to explode. Tell me I am making the right decision. I don't do big hills. I like a little low end torque and would like the ability to go beyond the 22mph governor in some kits...

    I forgot to ask you guys if the MAC kits are simple to install? My last kit "ampedbikes" was pretty foolproof. The connectors where all matched up so it was impossible to make a mistake when doing the connections. Are MAC kits like that? Color coded or matched up connectors for someone with...

    My Electra Cruiser project

    Yes, I have lots of stops and starts. I currently have 36v 12A.H. battery. Would like get a controller that will allow me to upgrade to a 48v 12A.H. down the line. I like having more low end torque. Not really interested in going real fast. If the bike can get to a top speed of 25mph that would...
