    My first scratch build: 30kw full suspension tandem velomobile.

    Love the upper control arms! Like seeing things that are made out of shit laying around but will function perfectly for what you need

    Are there any North American-based 72V/96V 8kW+ BLDC hub motors manufacturers?

    QS Motors does a nice job with their motors (and price), but shipping adds $275+ on all of their 8kW+ BLDC hub motors, which is 30%-50% the total cost. Are there any N. American manufacturers?

    Kelly Kls 7218s Bluetooth open flash failed

    In case anyone else has this issue, a new Bluetooth module solved the issue for me. Amber at Kelly Controller took over for Fany. She's not as good technically as Fany, but she is very responsive (way better than can be said for US based Power Velocity) and after we got to the point to order a...

    Beginners motor / controller question

    Kelly Controller isn't great, but they are cheap and easy enough to setup. The previous comment is spot on with the ESL issue. Be prepared for broken English

    new battery case idea no welding/soldering

    Vruzend are awful. The build time is much longer, and you have to use loctite, which defeats the purpose of ease of maintenance. The fit on any sizeable pack is garbage, and you can't pound too hard because they break easily. Great idea, but poor execution.

    Who makes the best high output 72v battery pack?

    Don't mean to go off topic, but thought others might want to know... Have you assembled with the NESE modules? What your experience? I used the Vruzend product, and the were so damn bad that I didn't even email the vendor. Felt like I was doing QA for them. Broken plastic, bad contacts, had...

    My first scratch build: 30kw full suspension tandem velomobile.

    What state are you in? I can help get you in the right direction. It's not as hard as everyone says, but you have to just kind of "get it" when it comes to dealing with state DMVs. I ended up getting licensed in Florida as a motor vehicle manufacturer with direct to consumer sales. I've...

    Yamasaki YM50-RE Build

    Bluetooth connector arrived, and I can communicate. The Kelly AC Aduser App is not very well built aesthetically, so here's some help. 1. Wire battery, ensure 11V across the red/black [i.e. +V/GND]. 2. Plug in bluetooth adapter and pair like you would any Bluetooth device [PIN is 1234]. 3...

    Yamasaki YM50-RE Build

    Measured 11V across black/red wires on 4 pin comm connector. Per Kelly Communications, the wiring and controller itself is properly setup. Windows 10 has many issues with connectivity [i.e. my only PC]. I have ordered a bluetooth adapter that will use an Android App for communications...

    Yamasaki YM50-RE Build

    That took care of the power error. The setup in the previous post does the trick without a GND from B-. That is no connection to the GND on Pin 7, just +72V on pin 6 with 22 solid copper wire. However, now I get the error "Read data error" I've tried changing the baud rate, but then I get...

    Yamasaki YM50-RE Build

    Appreciate your post. I would appreciate your eyes as a second opinion so that I do not blow my controller. Here's my setup vis-a-vis power: 72V+/GND battery to a male disconnect. This plugs into female disconnect. Female disconnect with 72V+/GND to female QS10 Antispark connector. This...
