    H3540 bearing replacement

    Hi all. Is there some trick to getting the disc/wire side cover off of a H3540? It's time for a bearing replacement. The drive side is ready to go. Still have not managed to pull the disc side off of the stator. I've cut out the sealant and pulled the plastic seals, but this thing won't move off...

    Hobbyking 6S BMS

    Moto, I've only been at this a year so any insights a vet like you and amberwolf have to offer are much appreciated. Eventually I plan on getting a true bulk set up, but for now what I have is super versatile. I still experiment with different pack configurations. Being able to charge 1 or 2...

    Hobbyking 6S BMS

    Absolutely Motomech. I plan on getting at least three. I've got a couple from HK but they show slightly different voltages. I have one that checks out as dead on with my calibrated multi-meter. They also get so warm when I do even a little discharge with them that the screens fade out. I really...

    Hobbyking 6S BMS

    Thanks guys. Two of my three bikes are "in the shop" right now so I won't be charging any lipo for a bit but I appreciate the help and tips. I know I'm not technically bulk charging but I find my method works for me. I basically disconnect my discharge leads and connect the charge leads. This...

    Hobbyking 6S BMS

    Anyone have any experience with these? I've been charging 6s 10ah multistars to 25.2 with an HLG meanwell for months now. A few weeks ago I picked up a couple BMS boards. The discharge rate is a bit low for my needs so I only wired the JSTs, that way I can attach them only when I need to balance...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Yeah, it's weird. I didn't do any tuning really. I just swapped some parallels and series harnesses. The only settings I changed were lvc and hvc in the battery settings which I've done a hundred times for other configs. I usually run a 20s and switch over to 18s for the trails because my 72v...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Also worth noting: I've tried lots of tricks from these forums (never messed with the firmware) but I have never been able to get 18 or 20s to pull those kind of amps off the line with the Adaptto.

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    So I noticed something weird about my mini-e yesterday. When I run 18s lipo on the street acceleration is wicked fast. The initial draw is low from a stop or at slow speeds, 15-20a WOT, but it quickly ramps up the max of 80a. On tight, curvy singletrack I never get anywhere near that max. The...

    JDMopar's KHS BBS02 Mid-Drive Build Thread

    You might check out Cordura fabric if you're in for a lot of rain. Gcindc's Idrive thread turned me on to it when I built my second bike. Last November, I wrapped all my connections with waterproof Nashua tape and made "temporary" covers for my battery/controller out of Cordura. The plan was to...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    I would also add that 10 years ago when I was pedaling everywhere I was a lot more worried about weight. What components did you end up putting on to shave the way Rhino? Judging by your style I would say you picked up some things that weren't just light but strong also. Just curious. I still...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    I think what you say here might sum it up better than anything I could have said, and explain the difference in our results. I was thinking about this on my ride last night. When I hit the first two trails, both 400ft climb and returns about a mile and a half each, weight holds me back a bit...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    With my normal range set up (15ah li-ion) I'm running 81 lbs. If I add lipo (10 to 30ah) I'm anywhere from 89-105, usually 105 because if I'm going to bother I want it all. This is exactly what I mean. I run the same circuit every Sunday and Monday. Every time I build a bike or make big...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    Sorry not trying to start a thing here but I have experienced it. With my normal EEB setup my battery box is about 75% empty. Some days I add 18s 3p, 24lbs of lipo and there isn't much difference. Yes the CA I used to run and the Adaptto I'm running now show slight variances, but not as much as...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    Capacity and ease of setup are really the only big advantage with an enduro, and since capacity isn't an issue for you... I would consider a mid-drive or rc motor on a dh bike. I haven't got mine yet but everyone says the climb a lot better than a hub. You could power up and peddle down for...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    A brand name dh rig would absolutely be more solid; probably even necessary for dh use. But I will say I am very happy with the strength, quality, and versatility of the EEB. I can ride to my local trails and then ride them for hours, or go on 60 mile street rides with the kind of capacity the...

    Do enduro frames suck?

    I picked up an EEB from EM3EV back in June (to replace my old GT frame) and I have to say it's pretty solid. I'm not sure if I would DH it but the thing is a blast for aggressive trail riding. The suspension is super plush, it'll take small drops and jumps as fast as I can hit them. After the...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    Anyone have any experience with sending their controller back? Any idea how long repairs take or when I should expect to hear something? Mine was brand new and wouldn't power on. Never even hooked up to the bike. According to tracking mine arrived the other day, just haven't heard anything yet.

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    I did. I emailed Alex last night and he got back to me this morning. Sent a follow up email but I think it's night time over there. Had time this morning to hook up a multimeter to the on-off wires and it looks like those two wires are putting out the same voltage as my batteries. Two lifepo4...

    Adaptto Mini-E/Max-E Owner's Thread

    I just got my Mini-E yesterday. I wired it to my battery (without setting anything else up) and my screen hasn't come on. Do I have to set something else up to test or shou it have powered up just being connected to my battery (72v 15ah). Thanks

    Why are cyclists so upset when we pass them?

    Very late to the party but... I've put a lot of thought into this as I've been putting my rides together this last few months. I think it's part pride, part "you are not like me". I had a fleet of pedal bikes for many years. I always had good stamina and good hill climbing power. I remember...
