    Lower voltage on kingpan 48v charger to charge 36v pack.

    I thought as much. Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'm buying another charger.

    Battery options for BBS01?

    I have used eclipse twice, once for a cyclone kit and once for a bafang, both times the purchase went flawlessly. I recently bought a BBS02 36v kit for my young lad, to get him to school. For the battery I am using 9s lipo just 5ah worth for his 20km round trip ride and it works a treat. The...

    Lower voltage on kingpan 48v charger to charge 36v pack.

    I'm looking to see is there a way to adjust the output voltage from the current 57v used to charge my 48v lifepo4 pack down to 37v to charge a 9s lipo pack. I have tried the trim pot inside but can only get it down to 50v. Is it possible to replace the pot with one that has a broader range or is...

    Cyclone 3000W Kit too wide to pedal?

    I have the 1200w kit, similar to your second link and I don't even notice the wide cranks. I have been running this kit for over 2 years now and I don't ever remember noticing the difference between these and normal BB's while pedalling. The 3000w does look very wide and might be a bit more...

    Using the same throttle to power a hub & mid drive motor

    I have a similar setup with a Nine C hub motor in the rear and a Cyclone 1200W kit in the middle and it works a treat with a full twist controlling the hub motor on the right bar and a thumb throttle on the left bar controlling the Cyclone. Both have their own controller and are powered from the...

    I have been STOLEN, AGAIN!

    Bad luck on the loss. My main pack never gets left unattended. I have a small 12s 5AH lipo pack that I use for such times. It is easily removed and not too much trouble to carry around in a bag. Maybe consider making one once you're back on the road.

    Infineon Controller... what are these two wires?

    On my Lyen Infineon controller those wires are both white and plug together to activate regen. They can be sent to a switch on your brake levers to save on brake wear. Hope this helps Tony

    waterproofing controller/battery connection

    Maybe i should have written in French just for you. Since you command of English is obviously sketchy. "So everytime you need to disconnect you reuse those ties and reapply silicone?" If you read my original post you'd have seen I said " mine are left in place all the time." I disconnect very...

    waterproofing controller/battery connection

    I never suggested filling the inner tube with silicone, go back and read the post. The silicone is used in conjunction with a couple of cable ties to form a water tight seal so water cannot run down the cable, the tube is then cut a couple of inches longer than the wire so as to shield the...

    waterproofing controller/battery connection

    I use a section of inner tube over my connectors siliconed and cable tied either side of the connector but mine are left in place all the time. I suppose you could mount the inner tube to whichever is the higher end of the connector, cable tie and silicone it to stop water running down the cable...

    3D Printed Custom Infineon Controller Case/Enclosure

    Looks good. I have toyed with the idea of consolodating all the wiring into one connector, it really would clean up the install. I run a 9c through a Lyen controller and consistently put 1.5-2 Kw through it for a full 600wh charge and my controller barely hits 30 deg C. Unless you plan to run...

    Cyclone motor rewound

    I have disassembled a cyclone in the past and found the stator windings bonded to the inside of the case with some kind of mega adhesive/epoxy. I could not make any inroads in removing it. I think you would destroy the plastic frame in the removal process. I ran my 1200w cyclone for over 10k kms...

    A neighbor keeps hijacking my Router

    Well its actually my brothers router but he keeps bringing it over to me so its starting to feel like mine. It started a few weeks back with his ISP-provided wireless router, he would lose signal then when he searched again his connection was unsecured and renamed, initially the SSID was...

    Recreating the Model S braking system

    My lyen edition infineon controller does this. I think all infineon controllers have this ability. It is enabled by connecting the white wires together. As energy recovery it is not very effective, usually achieving under 5% regen but it will reduce wear on brakes.

    Got more time than money? Here's a trick

    This bike will never see a trail with that wheel in place, my death wish is not that strong. I just done it to see if it would work more than anything else but it has shown me that replacing a broken spoke or two with these will get you out of a hole. I've ordered spares with my new set so I...

    Got more time than money? Here's a trick

    At the moment I am waiting on spokes from catsnapper but being the impatient type with time on my hands I decided to give something a try. When I was looking on here for a source for spokes I seen a quick fix for a broken spoke where the end of a longer spoke is cut off and used by bending it...

    Parallel 12s lipo with 14s lifepo4.

    I'm currently reaping the rewards of not implementing a bms when I built my headway pack. For the most part my pack is ok but 2 cells are pretty much knackered, giving under 70% original capacity, the other 14 are still giving over 90% of original capacity. What I am lookin into is making a...

    What is the symptom of a thermal cut off - Cyclone motor

    Perfect. For short bursts < 30 seconds the motor can take quite a bit of power, well over 2kw but it is too small to take that level of power continuously, it just can't shed the heat quickly enough. You should be good to go now. Best of luck. Tony

    What is the symptom of a thermal cut off - Cyclone motor

    The stator is bonded to the motor case to stop it from spinning due to reactive torque, so using thermal paste is not possible unless some kind of thermally conductive adhesive exists. "but I enjoyed cruising at +55km/h" There is your problem. In my experience the cyclone motor just can't do...

    What is the symptom of a thermal cut off - Cyclone motor

    I ran into this issue soon after I built my bike. I was conscious of the noise of the cyclone motor and in an effort to reduce this noise I began to run in higher gears meaning my motor was running slower and was not getting into its efficiency range supposed to be between 80-90% of max rpm. I...

    How to get the most range?

    If you do go for it, remember you should not run your battery beyond 80% DOD meaning you really only have 260wh available to you not 324wh, that's 6.5 wh/mile!!!. On occasion you can discharge deeper but it is not advisable to make a habit of it. With such little energy available to you and...

    What is the symptom of a thermal cut off - Cyclone motor

    I definitely wouldn't lower the low voltage protection any more, 39v is 3.25v per cell. To maintain good pack life it is vital you don't over discharge the pack. Lipo is very stiff so your 20c packs should not be sagging much until they are low on energy especially since your probably only...

    What is the symptom of a thermal cut off - Cyclone motor

    Thermal cut off from the motor will not be fixed by a power cycle. Only when the motor cools and the thermistor is sending the correct signal will the motor run again. If it took you a few mins to power cycle the system then the motor may have cooled sufficiently making you think it was the...
