    New build advice

    Hi, I built a couple of ebikes a few years ago (since sold) and am getting the itch to build one again and thought it would be a good idea to check here in case there are other/better ways of going about this that people might be able to suggest. I'm looking to build a full suspension ebike...

    Battery question

    Hi, I've got a 36v 10Ah Li-ion battery, and I've had it for a year or so and probably used it for 200 charges or so. Anyway, now it seems to be way down on range - it will cut out after a mile or so. If I turn the battery off/on it will always start again but would cut out (LVC) if I draw too...

    li-on battery charging question/problem

    Hi guys, I'm seeing some odd/different behavior when my battery charges (36v Li-on). The charger has always got hot (the case temperature is hot enough so you don't want to pick it up) and I've drilled some holes in the case to try and aid air flow. The only feedback on the charger is a red...

    Bangxiety meter thread

    Hi, I've been working on a project for the last 18 months or so, and now that it's in a fairly useable/functional state I've decided to share it here. So what is it ? It's an open source power consumption and range meter :D Right now you can download and compile the source code (it runs on...

    Commuter rebuild

    Hi, my commuter is currently going through a rebuild and I thought I'd record the details in this thread. Here's what it looked like before: It's a 250w bafang fun8 front hub that I installed around 18 months ago. Unfortunately this noise turned out to be the motor having eaten the grub...

    Torque arm or no torque arm ? advice please....

    Hi, I've just bought a new motor (36v rear bafang bpm 500W) and plan to fit it to my 2007 hard tail (if you're from the UK: A Carrera Kraken) which I suspect has an aluminum frame because a magnet doesn't stick to it. The question is, do you think I should bother with a torque arm on this...

    Suspected bearing issue with bafang 8fun front motor

    Hi, I think my bearings are dying on my 8fun as there is about 5-6 mm lateral slop at the tyre and I can see the two parts of the motor case move relative to each other when I wiggle the wheel. I suspect I need to replace the bearings, but don't know for sure. Has anyone seen this before ...

    motor cutting out question

    Hi Guys, I had a bit of an adventure 2 days ago on the way to work - tried a new route and what appeared to be a big puddled turned out to be a flooded path - the water went about 1 1/2 foot deep so the front hub motor (250W bang-fang) was well and truly submerged. I used the motor all the way...

    Strange noise from hub motor

    Hi all, I've got a question about my front drive hub motor (36v 250W Suzhou Bafang 8 FUN). I've had the kit installed for around 18 months and use the bike every day (10 miles/day). Doesn't sound too excessive at first, but then the route is mainly offroad so probably alot more wear+tear on...
