    Inverter trouble and question

    Hey Guys, I have a question that I am hoping that someone here can shed some light on. I have one of these http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/inverter-chargers/freedom-hf-newgen.aspx and it is installed in my RV. It works wonderfully and I have no complaints. The problem arises when I have...

    Battery thoughts

    I love this forum. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the talk on this, it has been helpful. Once again you have argued all sides and have helped me make a decision. I am leaning towards adding 24v to my 48v Thanks again everyone. Of course when this all goes down expect a thread. :D

    Theoretical question here First the setup. I have a bike with a 1000w motor. I currently run a 48 volt 20ah Lifepo pack and get pretty decent performance. If I am going up hills at about 35km/h I am pushing about 1600 watts according to my ca. On the flat I reach around 45-48 km/h. I am using...

    No nothing stupid crazy or anything. I have two bikes I ride. One is my "commuter bike" that I have talked about quite a bit on Ed already http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41512 and I use it for my speedy little trips around town. That bike has road tires and no...

    12t 10t 8t etc

    Sorry if I seem to be asking the same question over and over, but if I am buying a hub motor for my bike, and I have the option of more or less turns, and my objective is hill climbing power over higher speed, should I be ordering one with more or less turns? I a, assuming that this is why they...

    Soooooooo more turns means more torque? And that means better hill climbing power?

    Why is this up for debate? Hasn't anyone tested this before? I can't be the first one asking a question like this.

    12t 10t 8t etc

    Can anyone give me a good detailed explanation on how the number of turns relates to motor characteristics? I am just a little confused on why someone would want more or less turns in their motor. I am looking at buying a Mac geared motor for my full size mtb and have been talking to cell man...

    New Battery Advice

    In your signature you list the prices for all the parts you've used on your bike except for your battery pack I'm wondering if you would be kind enough to break down the costs of what you bought as well as your charger and harnesses etc. I am really curious about what it actually costs to build...

    New Battery Advice

    Apparently lots of people are using RC Lipo batteries for Ebikes. To answer your second question know when you put them in series you double their voltage and when you put them in parallel you doubled their amperage. What I'm trying to do is figure out how to economically build a second...

    New Battery Advice

    Ok. Help me figure this out. I went to HK and found a this one battery. Is this a good one? I have never used rc lipo packs before so I am asking many questions here before I buy anything. So here is what I want to do. I would like to make a 72v 5ah battery but three of them. Then I can use...

    New Battery Advice

    If I want to build say a 10 - 20 ah 60v pack out if these rc lipo packs, how would I do it? Can you offer me some guidance here? Also if you have any links to good sites that would be helpful. Ps has anyone ever made scalable packs? Like modular do they can customize the bike for different...

    Need some 80mm Spokes

    Turns out I fubar'd my rim according to the shop, so they are putting on a new one for me. Another $40. /sigh Oh well, it is being done by professionals so when all is said and done I should have an awesome wheel. It is probably going to cost me about $150-$160 when all is said and done. I'll...

    Wow. You were the one filming that? That was me doing that huge drop. That's when I broke the spoke! Totally kidding of course. I ride this road that this really rough and I have no suspension whatsoever. Also I ride at 60psi. Who knows. Maybe they are just crappy cheap and I should buy a...

    Need some 80mm Spokes

    Update. I contacted the eBay seller who sold me my wheel in the first place and he is air mailing me 20 spokes for 10 bux. Just the cost of shipping. This makes me happy. So I will have some replacements. Is there something in particular that breaks spokes more than others? Something...

    Need some 80mm Spokes

    Hey everyone. It seems that I have broken a spoke on my 20 rear wheel. Being that my motor came mounted in the wheel already laced, I have no idea where I can source some 80mm spokes. Anyone know where I can go, or who I can contact for some heavy duty spokes? Maybe a fellow ES member makes...
