    smallest possible 36V pack with 200whr

    This forum is amazing! So many great contributors. Thanks to all! One other question, what would be the max current output if one were to build a 10s1p (10 cells) micro-pack from any of the above 18650 cell types? If the current output was enough for say 50% max on my BBS-01 350W, that would...

    smallest possible 36V pack with 200whr

    Good question. I don't know if they are available in 2-3C. I did find these though: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/3-7v-rechargeable-battery-26650-battery_60218173531.html?spm=a2700.7724838.35.1.V3OkGa that would get me to 180 W-hr. Might have to charge a bit at work though.

    smallest possible 36V pack with 200whr

    I have a BBS-01 mid-drive on my 2003 Giant NRS-1 mtn bike, which I use to commute to work, 17 miles per round trip. I have an AllCell 36V 10.4 Ahr battery in a frame bag. I use about 150-180 Whr on my commute (10 miles/whr). I do enjoy pedaling and the occasional drink from a water bottle, but...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Does anyone know of a switch I can buy that connects to Anderson power poles? Right now I am connecting them manually every time I want to ride and I feel like over time I am going to wear them out. What I want is something that connects on both sides, one side to the motor, the other to the...

    I have the 350V system which seems enough for me as I like to pedal and I weigh about 145 lbs. I have a 380 Whr allcell battery in the custom frame bag. I not really tested my full range yet but I use about 200 Whr to go 18 miles, with a fair bit of climbing. So I guess that means I could go...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Just thought I would share a photo from a ride a did today. My bike is a Giant NRS-1 and I have the BBS-01 with a 36V allcell battery in a custom frame bag. I rode today in Tilden park in the hills east of San Francisco. The view is of Mt. Diablo. Superfun ride. I love this bike. Because of the...

    Sorry. I am in the San Francisco area. I found this guy who does custom frame bags. Not cheap ($110 US) but could be worth it if it fits the frame really well (http://cleavelandmountaineering.blogspot.com/p/custom-frame-bags.html) Would be great it I could find one of those battery boxes that...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Thanks to everyone who has donated their time and knowledge on this site and thread. I finished my first build, converting my 2003 Giant NRS-1. I purchased a 350W BBS-01 and AllCell 36V 10Ah battery through Letric cycles. LeGrand was very patient, answering all the questions of a newbie. He also...

    8Fun BBS02 Trek build

    Nice job. Looks really clean. 1) did you use the ebrakes? Couldn't tell from your cockpit close up. 2) does using silicone sealant mean the motor doesn't cool as readily? 3) does the battery get warm in your backpack? 4) any trouble using your lowest gear?

    Thanks for the replies. I am leaning towards the 350W system. I do my commute 1-2 times/week with no assist and so I am used to averaging about 150W of my own power. I am looking to cut back to 100W of my power add some electric power and try to do the commute more regularly and hopefully a...

    New Bafang Crank-Drives

    Noob here, but I did read all 80 pages of this thread. I am planning on converting my Giant NRS-1, which I now use for commuting about 16 miles roundtrip to work. Would like advice on 350W vs. 750W. Bike plus rider will be around 84 kg. I have one 0.5 km climb that is 9%, about 46 m total...

    10T or 12T MAC motor?

    I really appreciate all the comments. I think I will go with the 10T and the 25A controller, 11-28T freewheel and some torque arms. I will probably still pedal a fair bit. Strava (GPS bike app) was estimating I was averaging 100-130 W on my commute, with peaks of up to 300W. I don't know if I...

    10T or 12T MAC motor?

    I am trying to put together my first e-bike. I plan to convert my dual suspension Giant NRS-1. I plan to do my commute (17 miles roundtrip) on this bike. I am what you would call part of the "lycra" crowd and was riding 50-110 miles/week on my road bike before I developed a disc herniation in my...
