    The true sine-wave (vectored) controller & electronics set

    Anyone recieved one of these controllers? I would like an independent review/opinion on these from someone that actually owns one.

    Help needed (based in London, UK, but willing to travel)

    I agree people with high power ebikes in UK are few and far between. So far I have only met someone with an electric moped and I have helped forum member lotrwiz (from south england) to build a similar bike to mine. I can come down if you like (with some tools, test parts, different speed...

    What to buy in UK

    I am from UK. I do the same, I have 2000-3000w on my ebike, 40mph top speed. But I live out in the countryside, pretty much never see police cars out here. (Hell, my brothers give the speed limit some abuse in their cars out here!). I highly recommend a rear motor kit, the front forks usually...

    E bike roadtrip

    So you still taking the aggregate as a last resort in case the main pack runs out? or you just going to pedal your way to the next gas station? Fair enough using panel for the 12v aux pack, but I imagine it will have a tough time charging the main pack.

    Voltage display

    Yeah, it's not a mega high priority thing to work on. I am probably going to go with the 70 odd SMD resistor design if I do put it into production since they cost next to nothing :P I plan on some long distance touring myself, plus I am just a data junkie. I love seeing what is all happening in...

    Voltage display

    I will design it for 37 cell lipo. If you think you need more cells, you can parallel the balance plugs if you have a paralleled pack (if it is safe to do so with your ebike's wiring, if you do it wrong, magic smoke will be released!). I only run 24 cell, but there are some nutcase's on here :D...

    Voltage display

    I could design a board that will bluetooth the data to an Android device, going to require alot of wires though to send every single cell voltage to the board. (One wire/cell). Once that is done, you will need to come up with a waterproof enclosure for it. If you want it to work like that, I can...

    E bike roadtrip

    I don't think that generator is too heavy, I have pulled that amount or maybe more in my trailer 10 miles or so up some steep hills on pure pedal power back when I didn't have a electric kit on my bike. Not sure how heavy the rest of the kit your going to carry will be though, at least the...

    Do you think this 72v controller can handle 84v?

    I run 100.8 volts through my 72v controller but that's right on the limit, definitely wouldn't push it any more.

    Ebike novice project for constructive criticism please

    I am also from UK (East Midlands), here's my E-Bike: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=55913 Here's my Turnigy 1000w charger, its a beast!

    Hydrogen fuel cell range extender EBIKE

    I am struggling to see the point now I have a 1000w charger, plus they are difficult to refill and there's no refilling infrastructure. I can charge 4 6s lipo's in 30 minutes. I can carry the charger around in my cargo trailer too. Quick enough for most people. Better off just filling the space...

    What fuse to use?

    Here's how my ANL fuse is laid out with nuts, washers and bolts: So it's like this: M5 Bolt --> small M5 washer --> fuse --> small M5 washer --> normal M5 nut --> M5 penny washer --> output wire (10/12awg?) --> M5 penny washer --> M5 nyloc nut Feels very sturdy and reliable :), no fuse...

    Power supply for LiPo charger?

    What is this "proper" charger you speak of? My setup involves a 24v 1400w power supply from whereswally606 and Turnigy 1000w charger from hobbyking. I doubt this thing will charge slow :P

    parallel lead LED indicator

    Wow, what a awesome amount of information, that's epic :) Thank you so much! That's exactly what I wanted, I think I will add a high amperage in-line diode. I have tons of voltage (24s, 100.8v off charger), so I don't think voltage drop is a problem for me. Since my parallel lead supports three...

    Would This Outrunner be suitable for an E-Bike

    You would probably need some sort of gearbox to reduce the rpm to maybe 250.

    New battery setup, anything I've missed? Pretty please :)

    Never plug batteries of differing states of charge into it, or batteries with different cell counts in to it either. i am pretty certain that one of those was the case. Edit: It might spark a little as it charges the capacitors in your charger.

    New battery setup, anything I've missed? Pretty please :)

    Love your 4s suggestion, I might go down that route myself. Epically cheap :) My lipo's are on their way out due to my abuse.

    My ebike - quick walkaround

    Controller has high quality IRFB4110 mosfets. I was pretty suprised when I opened it up, I was expecting some nasty cheap chineese designed ones. Runs very cool in all weather, I dont use full throttle that often though, just for short runs to get me out of harms way. I always apply the throttle...
