    2 Mode Controller

    Fechter :idea: :?: , Been brain stormin with fellow riders, and if you could invent a 2 mode controller 36/72v, OR 48/96v, for econo/performance, you would make allot of ppl happy. Is such a controller even possible? All ideas are welcome...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Hello Knoxie Thanks for the interest and yeah, Freerides or downhill frames seem to be a good match for e-bikes, especially for the no-pedaling design. Seems that pep are converging towards the same general conclusions. Ypedal and Volt with their Norco Chaos, are some that opted for Freerides...

    Making motor mounts

    I see, - Just get some 1 inch flat bar - Bend in a square U shape to the length of the motor - Mark and drill the holes for the bolts of the motor, and for the mounting plate on the bike. - Drill holes in the bike plate So, There is a total of 2 U brackets. Each bracket has 4 holes. 2 for the...

    Making motor mounts

    In this particular case, I can’t see where the motor really goes. Does it go ontop of the swing arm or below? I use flat bars when making a bracket because you can bend it and drill it at will. So whatever plans you’ve had bending the bolts, you can do with...

    Making motor mounts

    - Post a pic of the motor and its mounting holes and a desciption of where on the bike you want to mount it. - Post a pic of the bike. :wink:

    Hey Buzzz, Yes lower is better for responsiveness, but all the weight at the back wheel is not good for stability imo. I prefer to have the batts in the middle, sitting on both suspensions. With the no pedal configuration of my seating position, I’m already riding on the back...

    96v controler?

    Ypedal, it’s exactly what Xter said. Torque/Distance/Speed, potential. Thanks for your concern about safety all. Math, I have no intentions of going airborne… with this vehicle. In the pursuit of logical transportation though, one would come to the conclusion that...

    96v controler?

    Thanks Fechter ! What kind of FETs and caps should i buy? Could you post a pic pointing out the components I should replace. Btw, my controller is a 36v, but I could buy a 72v if it makes things easier. And yes Xyster :mrgreen:, I might just pay somebody to do it. I wish that I could just buy...

    96v controler?

    :idea: Thinking about going with 2 x 48v in serie = 92v (124v full) on a 5304 hub. Can someone explain to me how to modify either a 36v or a 72v controler to 124v? To make it even more funner :? and more intersting for you all :roll:, I know nothing about electric or electronics! wee! Any...

    torque arm

    The following configuration allows for a wider and thicker support, therefore stronger torque holding, compared to normal forks. V-brakes may not work with this configuration, as the front wheel is no longer at its original place, in relation to the v-brake pins on the fork (about an inch...

    Xyster's X5

    Ok, brainstorming here… What about, a dum-charger? (Dum= no automatic cut off, no lights, just DC current). One that would mimic a fully charged battery. One that would give constant 4.2v from the beginning, until you unplug it, like a fully charged battery that never runs out of...

    Xyster's X5

    Sorry Xyster, but that is very confusing to me. I have a big interest in Lithium pack charging... 1. You charge your pack(s) with a SINGLE CELL charger? How could this be, since many 4.2v constitute more volts, there for the charger will detect LOTS more volts, and not even begin to charge. 2...

    Safe's Electric Bike Project #001

    I still don't have a rear break period (long story). I will have a disk break though, so that does not add to my e-broblems lol. For the tire whit, i could get away with 3'' no prbs. Now, stop with those great ideas! It's gonna cost me :mrgreen: Thx :idea: EDIT: Btw, about tire maximum...

    Good bike to motorize

    100% ^ They look fine, but you might bottom out the back suspension on one of those. Plus, I strongly suspect that replacement of the chuck with a better one might be difficult, as it is not the same size or not standard if you prefer. So consider these bikes only after inspecting them with a...

    Safe's Electric Bike Project #001

    :shock: my o my, there is some really nice bikes there. That large rim and tire and fender is absolutely beautiful. You are right, there are less rims and tires sizes choices with the 26''. Lots and lots yet, all the same. I wish they would make the same in 26''. Not only for style purposes...

    Do you have a charge-discharge control board for that pack?

    Can't find any data about bicycle tires maximum speed, rpm's or even maximum load, on the intire WEB! :shock: EDIT: Looks like bike tires coming apart is a thing of the past... I'm still waiting for an answer to my email to Maxxis about their tires. I guess you can go nuts, Safe :mrgreen:

    Use this when U don't want to create a short lived topic.

    Actually, Lessss, Transforming a gas vehicle to electric is not difficult at all. Never done it, but if you think about it, if you turn the key, without starting the motor, everything works. Cars and trucks are already electric. The most difficult part is linking the electric motor to the...

    :shock: Dang, now THAT is a prototype. Safe, you probly know about this but, carful with bicycle tires. They are not meant to revolve at exceeding speeds. I cannot back up my claims, but just look at records speed attempts, they all have the same tire probs. They disintegrate resulting in...

    Lol, anything about e-bikes is Ontopic imo. You all know that it’s impossible to talk about hubs without talking about batteries, then the controller, and then the speed and torque…thus the laws, idiots and police. Besides, I’m a specialist at...
