    Hi Kudos, Yep the battery goes in a backpack as I often have to take it up to my attic flat to charge it and dont want to take the whole bike up each time. Its a lightweight Polymer 8Ah so hardly feel that its there, a fast charger really helps. My old heavy Ping pack nearly broke my back...

    Will post some pics of the finished project soon. 72v 45amp may burn the motor but so far so good and a blast to ride around Paris! May install a Cromotor soon but wanted to keep the weight down as much as possible. Not really pushing the tech boundaries but kind of into the power/weight ratio...

    Retiring the WE BD36 after several years. Would like input.

    As far as i know there are 3 main wires for throttle, a 5v positive, an earth/negative and a signal wire that recognizes when the throttle is activated. There may be other cables on your throttle for things like battery life etc but these are the minimum 3 you need for it to work. The most used...

    controller rating

    Hi, Jeremy, do you know of anyone in the UK who could build me a battery pack using the cells recommended or is it a pretty simple project to connect them up? Does anyone offer a DIY casing which cells can just be slotted into to suit requirements or is this way off track? Is there a UK...

    Ping 60v 10aH with 48v controller, possible?

    Just opened the controller and rated at 63v. So it's prob luck of the draw if itl blow on a freshly charged 60v ping. I'll prob go ahead and get a 72v controller then. Any recommendations as to the best one to buy or do they pretty much do the same job?
