    Noob LiPo C question.... and others

    Before reading your post I started thinking maybe I should do 15s with 3 5s 2p which would give me 55.5 V and 10ah, with 55v can I get away with 10ah? This would be cheaper than going 44v 15ah.

    Noob LiPo C question.... and others

    Thanks for the info all. And that simulator is pretty cool, i'm gonna play with it some more later. And I'm going to get a 15Ah pack. But regarding the voltage, if my motor is 48V 500W if I had a pack that was say 66V for example with that just be wasted voltage. If the motor is 48V will any...

    MAC vs Bafang

    Paul quoted me $158 for EMS, 148 for Airmail and $90 for SAL (I assume that is boat). But that is for the whole kit, I guess I could save a lot in shipping if I don't get the wheel.

    MAC vs Bafang

    I get what everyone is saying about customer support, and I feel guilty thinking about buying a kit from china when Ilia's shop is only about an hour drive away from where I live. But he only has the 6T in stock and that won't work for me with the kind of hills I need to negotiate, even he...

    Noob LiPo C question.... and others

    Thanks everyone. My specific details: The bike/trike is a catrike speed trike. I have not purchased the motor/controller batteries yet but plan on a Bafang 48V 500W rear 20" wheel with the standard controller that comes with the kit from greenbikekit.com. My commute is about 10 miles and I have...

    Noob LiPo C question.... and others

    I've been researching LiPo, been reading many posts here, but still have a few questions. I've searched for answers but could not find them so I apologize if this has been asked before. I understand what the C number refers to but don't understand all the implications. With a 48V 500W motor, if...

    MAC vs Bafang

    Does the Bafang 48v500W offer regen? I was reading a post by Dogman reviewing the Fusion motor (which looks and sounds just like the Bafang) and he said the Fusion was non-free spinning and therefore offered regen. And if so does the regen kick in when you go past the no load speed?

    MAC vs Bafang

    Thanks for the replies. Beastie, that is my situation exactly, this is my first build and I don't have a lot to spend on it, and not having even ridden an electric bike I don't want to invest a lot into it for my first setup. I don't mind if I get the cheaper kit and it is a little under powered...

    MAC vs Bafang

    I've been researching this board trying to decide on the right geared hub motor and was set to get a Mac when I came across the Bafang from bmsbattery. The one I am referring to is the 500w 48v rear. The Bafang is much cheaper so I assume the Mac is better. Is the Mac that much better? What are...
