    That's an interesting thought Y... Adding a 6v in series with the A battery sounds like a good idea. I went to a 46t chainwheel, but it didn't help much.. I can get to 21 mph with pedaling.

    Wow you are a speed hog! Do you just rearrange the cells to get 90v?

    Advice Needed on my first eBike, I've owned it 1.5 months

    Sorry to hear you had problems right out of the box. I can relate to the spoke issue and it is very common for new E Bikes. Recently I was hit by some airhead in a Mercedes SUV who turned into me crossing an intersection... My front rim took the brunt of the impact and it had a severe wobble...

    GoldenMotor MP3 install on KHS mountain bike.

    [ Wow does this thing ever attract attention. I thought it was whisper quiet for the most part but I passed by a concrete wall yesterday and the sound bounced back at me. I thought the wheel had started rubbing on the rear bag again so I stopped to check. People can definitely hear you coming...

    100 mile ebike @ 30mph constant on flats without headwind?

    For one thing, calling someone a troll who's just providing an opinion is just sad. You have my sympathy. I don't know what country you live in, but a 30 mph e bike in a USA bike lane would be illegal, and most definitely piss off other bike riders. I ride a road bike and an e bike and...

    100 mile ebike @ 30mph constant on flats without headwind?

    You should forget about building an e bike and just build a scooter. A company that i considered investing in, XTremeGreen, offers such a scooter... They call it an electric motorcycle but it's a scooter. http://www.xgpinc.com/pdf/xrider.pdf Their scooter will go 100 miles @ 35 mph with a top...

    How long have you own your Metro? Over heating was a HUGE PROBLEM for early Metros... My Metro hi temp t/c's would trip after 20 or so miles, and it would take a long time to cool After they started using higher temp t/c with a soft start, no OT trips!

    On newer A2B Metros the controller was moved from the motor hub to the bike frame, since that was a source of numerous motor replacements. My motor has been replaced 5x in 3 years for that very reason. So someone could modify the controller to get the American 500W+ motor power or more with an...

    48v 15 ah V2 pingbattery at 225 cycles.

    So if I have a 48V 20 ah Ping with a 35A or 40A controller, shouldn't see a lot of sagging or reduced cycle life? Then a 1.5 kW motor would work, right? :idea:

    Thanks to Wineboyrider and Dogman for your advice. Websites for the motors and controllers you mentioned are on this forum somewhere i'm sure.

    "I purchased a brushed sparrow motor from them several years ago and they are very honest, but a bit overpriced last I looked. You can get a crystalyte watt hog for sure, but how fast do you want to go?" Their prices do seem high, but it's a kit and they make you pay. Also checked with...

    48v 15 ah V2 pingbattery at 225 cycles.

    I agree 100 percent... So what you're saying is that you're getting reliable battery life with controller set at 22A? I could buy a 48V 30AH battery set, and that should handle a 40 amp load, or not?

    Holmes' A2B Metro Review

    I have a 2009 a2b Metro with around 4000 miles on it, and ride it just about every day around Miami FL. Read with some amusement the findings and they seem fair. I could list the number of components that have been replaced, but that would seem like whining and diminish the overall...

    48v 15 ah V2 pingbattery at 225 cycles.

    Glad to hear Ping's batteries are reliable and maintaining their capacity.. I was going to buy a system from him in 2009 but was talked out of it by ElectricRider, who didn't believe Ping's battery could reliably provide 40amps @48V for very long. It may have been before V2. His prices have...
