    Help with Q128 36V500W geared hub motor throttle heistation

    Thanks for the replys. Yes, the motor and controller have hall sensors. I added an 120 ohm resistor to the ground of the throttle. The throttle response is acceptable but there is still a slight lag from when you press throttle to when the motor engages from a stop. When rolling there is a...

    Help with Q128 36V500W geared hub motor throttle heistation

    I recently obtained a rear geared hubmotor kit from bmsbattery. http://www.bmsbattery.com/ebike-kits/383-250w350w-q-85100sx-motor-bike-conversion-kit.html There is a very significant hesitation/delay when you apply the throttle. Is this the nature of the beast since it is a freewheeling...

    The re-birth of Giant Stilettos

    Thanks, yes they are all air brushed with clearcoat layers in between. I had the paint done locally at Attitude Custom Paint http://www.attitudecustompainting.com/ Scott does great work and is a pleasure to work with. They work with people all over and will ship the painted parts back to you.

    The re-birth of Giant Stilettos

    The model shoot is soon to come. Probably be a couple of weeks with the holidays and all. However, chicks do dig them.

    The re-birth of Giant Stilettos

    Each bike has unique riding charateristics. A lot of people seem to prefer the lowrider look of my wifes bike. If you're taller than 5'7" you would probably prefer to ride the bikes with the seat conversion.

    The re-birth of Giant Stilettos

    One place you can find 20x3" tires is http://www.choppersus.com/store/category/3/16/Tires/ As to offroad tires I can not speak to that. Maybe someone else can help to answer that.

    The re-birth of Giant Stilettos

    My goal was to keep the lines clean and hide the wiring and cables when possible, especially on the front forks. It looks alot cleaner to not have cable ties on the forks. All connections were soldered except for the anderson connectors the battery (although the crimped connection of the...

    The re-birth of Giant Stilettos

    I am often asked “why did I start to build these things?” You can't just tell people that they are incredibly fun if they have never ridden one. The truth is that I moved to an urban area and wanted a stylish bike to commute on. When I bought my last road bike there was a Giant...

    Nine Continent Motor Cover retro fit for disc brake

    My issue was not with the disc rotor position. Wires were rubbing inside of the hub motor on the cover as shown and annotated in the pictures. Eventually this rubbing would have worn through the wire insulation and caused a failure, which is why I machined a groove to create the necessary...

    Nine Continent Motor Cover retro fit for disc brake

    I considered using the spacer approach, but decided against it. My concern was that the motor would not be sealed very well. Time will tell if using washers between the flange of the cover and the hub motor causes an issue due to road dirt.

    Nine Continent Motor Cover retro fit for disc brake

    I purchased a 9C cover from ebikes.ca to retro fit a disc brake on a 20" 9C ebikekit.com front motor I have. When any moutain bikers would ride my e-chopper the main gripe they had was that the bike did not have a front brake. The only way to get one on this particular bike was to either...

    Nine Continent Disk Motors

    Am I missing something? It looks like the disk brake cover is on the wrong side of the front weel version of the motor? I think the standard mounting for the caliper is on the left front fork and this is the same side that my ebike-kit hub motor wires exit on. Would there be a spacing problem...

    Nine Continent Disk Motors

    Do you by chance know when these motors or covers will be available for purchase? Thanks

    Nine Continent Disk Motors

    This is excellent news indeed. Like amberwolf I'd like to know if just the plate will be made available to convert a front 9C I have on my ride. I'd love to have more breaking power on my chopper and without this new plate there is not another way short of machining a converter for the...

    E-Bikekit.com 36v 10ah LiFePo4 Battery

    I'd have to agree with Russell. This battery is way overpriced. After a month of nearly total discharges two times per day four days a week (8X/week) the battery's ability to charge has changed. It used to take 5.5 hours charge, after running out of power completely due to a strong head wind...

    E-Bikekit.com 36v 10ah LiFePo4 Battery

    My experience with the ebike kit was mixed. I purchased an e-bike kit from suncoastelectricbikes.com and Scott the owner bent over backwards to make everything right. The first 20" rim didn’t arrive when it should have, so he express shipped a second rim (which unfortunately was damaged...

    E-Bikekit.com 36v 10ah LiFePo4 Battery

    Thanks for the input, but the charger is still HOT @ 5.5 hours. They really should use a 3A charger. Also this doesn't explain the 6.5+ hour charge time for the first battery. As was mentioned previously in the thread a sampling of one is junk science. There is likely to be variations in...

    Howdy, I have been following this thread for awhile and appreciate all the effort that has went into it. I bought one of the e-bike kits in FL from suncoast electric bikes and it has worked out pretty well (my ride is the low rider chopper on the front page of the ebike website on the green...
