    Single 40Ah pack or Dual 20Ah packs

    It sounds like you are running 48V 12Ah lead battery right now. If you went over to a 48 volt 15 amp hour Ping you would see a drastic improvement over what you have right now. You might get close to double your range with a lot less weight and the voltage won't sag on you as much when the...

    Pingbattery Shipping

    Also keep in mind that the BMS draws power from only part of the battery. If I let my battery sit for a week or two without being used the third light in from the end won't light when it is charged. I have to leave it on the charger for 6-8 hours to get it back up to voltage and get the light to...

    Pingbattery Shipping

    I'm in Philadelphia and bought the exact same battery you are getting earlier this year. It took about three weeks to get here. It now has a little over 1200 miles on it and works great! Still hitting 30 mph and getting over 20 miles out of it at full throttle.

    Fireproof padding?

    Rockwool is pretty cheap and should do the trick.

    Factory Longtail Cargobikes (17 so far)

    Yeah, two motors sounds like fun but I have to show some restraint. I don't think my wife can get too mad at me seeming how the price of the frame is less than her monthly car payment and insurance. And since I already have a good battery and some extra parts laying around the rest of the build...

    Factory Longtail Cargobikes (17 so far)

    I've been wanting one for a while and couldn't pass up on the price, I grabed the last v3.0 frame. Should be a fun build, I'm thinking about a front wheel motor to help keep some weight off the rear.

    Complete e-Bike Kit for $500 shipped?

    You can buy the kit with out the batteries and pick up some lead acid batteries from a retailer like batteries plus. The batteries they use are nothing special and you should be able to pick them up pretty cheap. As far as keeping your batteries warm you can mount them in a bag with some...

    Is my motor/controller stuffed?

    Can you explain where you are measuring the battery voltage at when you say it drops to 12 volt with the controller connected.

    Outdoor chair to full suspension bike

    Very interesting. Is this going to be a pure electric bike? Are you going to relocate the bottom bracket?

    Outdoor chair to full suspension bike

    Looks like your having some good fun. One recomendation I have is that the front suspension has to be in between the handlebars and wheel. It looks as if your handlebars are still going to be connected solid to the front wheel via the forks. Please be carefull with your material choices, good...

    Can't stop this click click noise from my rear hub wheel

    Try turning your bike upside down or putting it in a stand to get the rear wheel off of the ground. Once the rear wheel is free to rotate try spinning it by hand and see if you get any noise, if not try spinning it through the pedals. You should be able to get pretty close to hear where the...

    Need a Pannier for Batterys

    I have a 48 volt 15 ah ping battery that I keep in an Ortlieb trunk bag on a tubas rack. From my research Tubas has the highest load rating of any rack I could find, which is important with a battery that heavy plus other stuff I carry in my panniers. The 15 ah battery fits in the Ortlieb trunk...

    Front Vs. Rear Drive

    If you want to be able to remove your front wheel easily in order to throw your bike in the back of a car then I recommend a rear drive motor. Good luck and happy cycling!

    Commuter build

    By the way, I chose a rear wheel kit so that I can still take off my front wheel and throw my bike in the back of the car in case my girlfriend has to pick me up due to rain or if we want to go out after work. This is my first ebike and I could not figure out a way to make a front wheel motor...

    Commuter build

    I am at just over 600 miles with my first E-bike build. I bought the direct drive rear wheel kit from Ebike.com. I also bought a 48 volt 15 amp hour battery from PING. I installed the kit on a 6 year old trek mountain bike with front suspension. I am very happy with the results, I have a 15 mile...

    Motor AMP draw

    Hello, as far as mounting the PING battery, I have the 48v 15ah battery in an Ortlieb trunk bag with the rack adapter. The battery fits perfectly in the bag with 1" thick foam from a sleeping pad under and around it. The bag is also really nice because of how easy it is to put on and off the...
