    Triangle battery advice

    Hi guys, I was hit a few months ago by an older lady crossing a bike path in a hurry to go shopping. :? Luckily I wasn't that hurt but the bike was totaled. As I work it out with the insurance company (who knows when that will end) I'm thinking I may go ahead and purchase a candidate for my...

    Calculating calories

    Hi guys, I'm sure this has been talked about but my search wasn't yielding what I was after so a link or something would be great if we already have a thread on here. Otherwise I'm looking for a good way to accurately measure the amount of calories I burn to and from work on my e-bike. I have a...

    Getting HOT

    Hi guys, I have a wire harness that's getting very hot. Today on the ride in to work I smelled something burning and zipped open my battery bag and saw that it had started melting a bit of the foam I keep around the sides. Obviously the harness was getting insulated and trapping the heat so I'm...

    Fuel gauge for LiFePO4 batts

    I'm sure this has been answered already but was having trouble finding a thread. I'd like to make some sort of rudimentary fuel gauge for my LiFePO4. To start I'd just like to check it when I get to work in the mornings or get home in the evenings and just using a multimeter would be a fine...

    48v 20ah LiFePO4 charger advice

    I have a 48v 20ah LiFePO4 battery and am on my (soon to be) 3rd charger now. I'm not understanding why these chargers just suddenly decide to quit on me after a couple of months. I ride to work about 3 days a week or so, sometimes more, and charge at home as well as at work. I probably do 75-100...

    What kind of fuse would I use with a 48v 20ah LiFePO4 batt

    Hi guys, I blew my battery fuse this morning. The old fuse had F4UAL250V on it and I can see it's a 250V, I'm wondering what kind of fuse I should get to replace this on my battery's positive / red cable. My battery is a 48v 20ah LiFePO4 battery. My motor is 1000W front wheel hub motor. The...

    Charger bad?

    Plugged my charger in today and the little fan on it was very noisy. It's been doing this since I received the charger now and then and usually I would unplug it and plug it back in and it would straighten up. Today I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it continued being noisy. I jiggled it...

    Rubbing noise from front hub motor

    Hi guys, just took the new ebike out today for the first time to work and back - 14 miles each way. It pretty much kicked ass and ran it full throttle both ways (max speed around 37 mph if that's interesting). After a few minutes of riding I'm noticing a rubbing sound from the front hub motor...

    Tube advice

    Hi guys, I have a steel frame mountain bike (no suspension) that's running pretty well. I got my first rear flat a few nights ago (I run a front wheel hub) and I get the sense this is going to be happening again if I don't buy a better tube. There was an inch or so slit that I assume came from a...

    Torque arm advice

    Hi guys, I have steel forks with a front wheel 1000W hub motor. I purchased this: http://www.ebikes.ca/store/photos/TorqArmRev3.jpg ... and it fits great and is very sturdy, etc. Just because I have a 48v battery hooked up to my 1000W motor I'm thinking of getting a second arm for the other side...

    Lifepo4 in the garage

    I've tried multiple searches for this as I'm sure it's been answered already a bunch of times before (kept getting results related to over-charging and exploding batteries, etc.). I have the option of bringing the bike into the house at night and during the day when it's hot (if necessary) but...
