    Battery Packs with Integrated Controllers for Hub Motor

    Hi Tushar D, I'm glad to hear you like the setup! Also glad about the potential range ;) .... quick question for you, when you remove the batter from the "cradle" (the part that attached to the bike frame using the water bottle mounts), do the controller and wires stay with the cradle? In...

    Battery Packs with Integrated Controllers for Hub Motor

    Thanks docw009. I didn't think about the wear on the Higo connectors. If they are challenging with regular plugging/unplugging that could be a real problem. I might have to look for alternative connectors in the future. However, I was also being pretty liberal with my "twice a week". It's...

    Battery Packs with Integrated Controllers for Hub Motor

    Hi There ES Peeps, I've been planning my first e-bike build/conversion for the better part of a year (indecision KOM ;) ). I'm getting down to the specifics finally. But I need some help with the battery pack selection. Much more specifically, I'm looking for more detailed information on...

    PAS Sensor for 24mm spindle Crank w/ Outboard BB Cups

    Hi Johne-bike, Thanks for the suggestion and the photos. It is good to know that I will just need to cut the plastic "fingers" off of the magnet disc to fit the 24mm crank spindle. That is probably the way I will go. Now I just need to get all my parts ordered and the build underway 8)

    PAS Sensor for 24mm spindle Crank w/ Outboard BB Cups

    Hi There ES Peeps, I've been searching around to see if there is already a thread for this issue and haven't found anything. But if it's already out there, please let me know. I own a somewhat modern steel cyclocross bike. As such, as a general rule, I use cranksets with integrated spindles...

    48V10Ah Case-08 Frame Bottle Battery Pack with controller

    Roscop13, did you ever go through with the build? How did it work out? I'm hoping to bump this year-old thread. I am looking at a very similar build for my first ebike project. I'm particularly interested in Li-Ion battery packs that have integrated controllers. I'm an avid (non-assisted)...

    Advice for Lightweight PAS Commuter - Friction vs Hub Motor

    So I've more or less put together my shopping list for the prospective Friction drive build: Main Components: *Mechanical Assembly by Machine Works (based in UK) http://www.instructables.com/id/Friction-drive-build-for-bikes/ Motor - Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 148kV - $80 USD...

    Need help with KU65 from bms ( different from others )

    Hi d8veh, Thanks for your suggestion. I checked out the S065 on BMSB. It looks like an equivalent alternative to the KU65. Do you know if there is any documentation/instructions that explain how to adjust the LVC on the S065? Is it similar to the KU65 for which you need to change a...

    Advice for Lightweight PAS Commuter - Friction vs Hub Motor

    You're Right! ... I did a bit more reading and it turns out I was just confusing myself :oops: ... I misread the battery spec and thought it was ~1kg (comparable to LiPo). It is not. At least I can check that idea of the drawing board :) Right Again! Thanks for the info. I think I would go...

    Advice for Lightweight PAS Commuter - Friction vs Hub Motor

    Hi Kepler, Thanks for contributing to my newb post. For clarification, I was referring to your old, "Eboost" friction drive project. I believe your website is still up and running http://www.eboo.st/. Specifically, I was referring to the "center/mid-mount" version. Although now that I...

    Advice for Lightweight PAS Commuter - Friction vs Hub Motor

    Thanks for the sharing, Momotech! I think you definitely answered my questions. I was looking for how to monitor the LiPo pack % during riding and how important it was to battery life and safety. It sounds like you primarily used a voltage meter, which Hobby King stocks plenty of. I also see...

    Need help with KU65 from bms ( different from others )

    Thanks for the clarification. It turns out ELifeBike.com also has the the UVLimit listed for their 24V version of the 6FET controller *facepalm*. For reference, it's listed as 21V. This is definitely too high for using 6S Lipo (22.2V nominal). However, after looking at their website I just...

    Need help with KU65 from bms ( different from others )

    Hi d8veh, Thanks for the tip. That certain sounds more in my skill wheelhouse (i.e. much easier). Also one less thing to screw up during my first build ;)

    Need help with KU65 from bms ( different from others )

    Thanks for the tip. I actually still need to get a soldering iron and find a source for surface mount resistors as I'm an electronics newb :P .... Hopefully soldering is like riding a bike, I haven't done it since university. I also have another newb question for Decacog. How did you find the...

    Need help with KU65 from bms ( different from others )

    Hi Decacog, Thanks for pointing me in the direction of your thread. Nice work. I'm glad to see you found the voltage limiting circuit. I will likely be doing the same thing in the next couple weeks when my own KU65 comes in. Out of curiosity, have you replaced the new R50 with a 9.1k...

    Advice for Lightweight PAS Commuter - Friction vs Hub Motor

    Hi momotech, Yes, I'm planning on using the friction drive in rain and possibly even snow (overconfident, I know :P) ... I've read conflicting reviews on if they work in with rain, so I was just planning on trying first hand for myself. However, I know the hub motor would be the best "all...

    Advice for Lightweight PAS Commuter - Friction vs Hub Motor

    Hi ES Forums! I'm a new member and a newbie to the E-bike world. I've been doing quite a bit of research on this forum for the last few weeks to get prepared for my first ebike build (fantastic forum, btw). But I'm now at the point that I could use some direct advice. Here's my story...

    Cute Q100 lightweight builds slow mtb, fast road

    Hi Chas58, Thanks for putting together this thread and maintaining it. I am an ebike newb looking to get started, and this project seems to be about as close to what I want to do as I can find on ES so far. I am also an avid cyclist who commutes on almost entirely flat terrain (good old...
