    First Build - 530x on 48v - Need Help w/ Frame Choice

    In case anyone wanders onto this thread in the future I have a small update. The bike is running...which is a certain level of "completed". I wired for 18s or 74v with my Turnigys and I'm loving it with the 5305. 35mph on flat ground. 30mph up hill. 40mph on any slight decline. With the...

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Just wanted to point out that in THIS situation there really is nothing "wrong" with the controllers. It's just an issue of incompatibility between different "versions" of controllers and throttles. Some throttles have a battery meter built in which requires a 4th wire, hence the 4pin connector...

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Well after some deep searching I managed to find a few pictures from other members with the same board. I have to say I'm more confused than ever about what board I have here, but the good news is I figured it out...well Rick did really. Turns out his first guess was right too. The picture...

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Alright, here's a quick shot of the back with a *very* crude wiring diagram. I don't see an XS+ but there is an SP and the Pedal Sensor wire goes right to that oddly enough. The grounds for the two sensors are different but the voltage source is the same. Thoughts?

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Lyen, I bridged the x5v (red) and throttle line (green) with the 10k resistor and shorted the two wires, nothing. Now if I simulate the same on/off/on/off pusling with my jumper leads the motor will spin up just the same. So definitely a controller-motor issues here. Thanks for the tips. Rick...

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Thanks for the Advice Lyen. I've added a video to help with the description of this problem. I wish I could test against other equipment but unfortunately I only have this one battery, controller, throttle, and motor. This is as much as the wallet allows. I'll have to check into the HVC. This...

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Same result with or without the CA. The 10a limit was just to be during bench testing. I had planned on doing a load test and wanted to 'step it up' to observe how my first experience with china lipos would play out. Been a thunderpower guy before all this E-bike madness found it's way into my...

    VIDEO Crystalyte 72v60a Controller - Strange Throttle Issues

    Hello all, First off I want to say I spent a fair amount of time searching this forum so if the answer was out there I do apologize for the unnecessary post! Setup: 5305 72v 60a 18FET (4110) 18s2p Turnigy 5000mah 25c Half twist throttle CA 2.2 I set the CA to 10a limit and left everything...

    I'm very thankful this forum is free :shock: . Thanks for all the hard work Mike (and everyone!). I've edited my last post regarding proper modification. I've been thinking, for the newbies it may be very helpful if the OP set a link in the first post to a "how to" thread that summarized all...

    So there are S-320-XX and SP-320-XX models out there. I have the SP's and for additional confirmation the fan does come on immediately. When the S-350-48 arrives this is the current procedure for modifying as I've learned from this thread. EDITED Adding a 500ohm resister in place of the...

    :buys S-350-48v on ebay: Hey Mike do you need two Brand New units for some more testing? :D If I'm not mistaken was it Kim that has been using a 320 unit for a few months now with good success?

    Well I figure I should update my own thread. I ended up with a Trek 800 road ready for $50. Frame is in real good shape. Stripped it down and I'm compiling my list of parts to order. Marzocchi MX Pro lo front fork (kinda screwed myself with the 1" headtube) Cane-Creek S-2 threadless headset...

    I too just received two of these sp-320-48 units as well. Looking forward to your test results Mike. I got 6 6s Turnigys that need a nice dedicated charger/balancer setup. Hopefully this Meanwell can compliment Gary's BMS in the short future...

    First Build - 530x on 48v - Need Help w/ Frame Choice

    Thank you for the correction. So the cassette's splined "hub" would have to be built into the hub motor for that to work? Is it because China's standard still freewheels? Or is there another hurdle to make a cassette compatible?

    First Build - 530x on 48v - Need Help w/ Frame Choice

    I won't be using a rear rack for anything more then carrying groceries. The batteries will be in the triangle to keep the weight balanced and the bike stable for the 25mph+. I don't know a whole lot about fitting parts as I've only been into the bike scene for a couple weeks but how else can I...

    I've tracked down a Judy front fork with disk mount. I don't know what caliper I'll be using but my coworker said he can yank the one off his wife's trek for me. I don't know what brand. Been talking to local bike shops around trying to get an idea of how to piece it together the right way the...

    While i wait for a good deal on a FS bike to come around im piecing together a trek 820. Frame size is 17in I believe but it will give me something to proof the setup on while keeping cost at $40, starting.

    First Build - 530x on 48v - Need Help w/ Frame Choice

    I stand corrected. That makes perfect sense I just never really thought about it. I know someone that may be selling a Trek Full suspension with hydraulic disk brakes and a few other name brand swaps he did on it I don't remember. Do they make a frame that offers good space? He said he's...

    So with all the time I have waiting for the Turnigys Ive seen many different brands around town and online. I may open the wallet a little more if it'l mean a longer lasting ride. http://appleton.craigslist.org/bik/1556348560.html Any opinions on this? I like the frame space but in terms of...

    I'm still waiting on a reply from the guy with the blackcomb. It's always 50/50 on craigslist... Worst case scenario I may just buy one new. I've been trying to sketch something up for mounting the Lipos on the blackcomb frame using Doc's setup and others for ideas. I've kinda accepted the fact...

    Ah ok. Picture says a thousand words. Didn't even notice that bent seat post till you pointed it out Mark. I can see why you might have some bracing in there... The toolbox idea is exactly what I wanted. I'll be doing some designing to keep it all midframe and organized.

    First Build - 530x on 48v - Need Help w/ Frame Choice

    Excuse my ignorance but to what are you referring as the "cantilever rack". Is that a rear rack retrofitted to move with the suspension? I am still trying to find something I can retrofit as a strong, weatherproof, removable, and ergonomic battery/charger box mounted to the center frame. I'm...
