    Mistakes that are easy to make, and how to avoid

    I was really excited about the title but this all flew way over my head. I don't think my bike is powerful enough to scoff at the first three and it's pretty flat around here. I do wonder about overdischarging and voltage sag on my battery. Then again I'm in the minority with 36v SLA...

    My dc-dc is shocking me when motor is running!

    Quit bragging and write up a schematic so we can duplicate this.

    Car takes me over from 2 inches away on a double line

    I often wonder how biking is in other cities. I'm in the suburbs and there are very few bikers, walkers, pedestrians in my area. It's almost exclusively for exercise, rather than transportation. 95% of my commute to work is on sidewalks next to divided "highways" and cutting through...

    Lowest cost build bike for the money

    Check your local walmarts for clearance ezips. I just got a "mountain trailz" 2008 model last week for $300 with a battery and charger. I went to 4 stores before I found one but you might get lucky. The battery seems fine so far for being 4 years old. I've gotten 10 miles out of it without it...

    Ezip 36v conversion help

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. I got my fingers crossed that it works. I took pictures and wrote out instructions for what I did so I could relate to other beginners wanting a 36v SLA battery upgrade. I suppose I'm not the best candidate for posting a "how to" if I can't even get my...

    Ezip 36v conversion help

    Well this is just frustrating. I can't find any information about what kind of controller my bike has (Ezip 2008 Mountain Trailz). I can't find how many pins it needs. I ordered a 5 pin controller and I think that's the wrong one. I'm even having trouble finding a 5 pin throttle that I think...

    Ezip 36v conversion help

    That sounds like my luck. I thought with the 2008 model I'd have a good chance of having a 36v compatible controller, but it sounds like no such luck. I think my wiring is correct then. I just dropped another $45 to order the controller I linked. Got my fingers crossed that it fits. It...

    Ezip 36v conversion help

    I took my rack mounted battery apart and got the two SLA batteries from the inside. I hooked another SLA battery to them (in series) to get 36v. They are all 12v10ah. I'm not very experienced with wiring, but my multimeter shows 36v (actually looks closer to 40v) coming out. I plugged it...
