    New "TSDZ2 Torque Sensor Central Motor"

    I am not sure. I have the vlcd5 display. It has one wire running to the display. The other wires would be optional. There are there ports on the display, one for the throttle and 2 for the brakes if you choose to use them. I did not elect to install the brakes, but did attach the throttle...

    LI-ion NiCoMn Battery from BMSBattery

    I have had the 48v Li-Ion NiCoMn from BMS battery for over a year now, with about 150 cycles on the battery I use most often. So far It has been excellent, with no loss of capacity yet. I much prefer this battery to the LIPO from Hobbyking (44v nano), since the HK batteries are already puffing...

    Electric assist upgrade / DD hub drag geared hub drag

    I have both types, geared and DD. I much prefer geared, they are considerably lighter and have no where near the drag of DD, so I can pedal or use the motor, as I wish. I always felt with DD I relied too much on motor, and not enough on myself. I also like that the geared is smaller and less...

    Help wit BMS

    So I took the plunge and decided to go ahead and short the BMS unit. There was a small spark, and then I rechecked. It now registers at 24 V, which I guess is some improvement, but it's still will not take a charge. I am afraid that the BMS unit is damaged. I am going to request that they...

    Battery Size Advice for new e-bike

    I have the same distance commute, on mostly flat ground. I use a 350 geared hub, (E-Bikekit), and Turnigy Nano 8000Mah, 6s. (44v). I use 2-2.5 AH for the round trip, travelling at 19-20MPH. So the Nano 8000MAH should work well for you, with power to spare.

    EP buddy selling lipo

    I have dealt with EP Buddy in the past, and have found the service to be very good, with fast shipping and responsive service. I do hope they come out with 6s *AH Lipo. I would pay the extra to have the fast shipping and a USA distributor.

    RC Lipo battery enclosure

    Office Depot carries a wide range of these boxes. They work well for my 44v 8AH lipo pack. (2 Zippy 6s 8ah in series). They have many sizes to choose from, and seem fairly sturdy for protecting from bumps, etc. I lined mine with foam. http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/usa/

    Lipo vs BMS battery

    I have a friend that is putting together a lightweight stealth ebike. She will be using a rear E-bikekit geared 350 w hub. She rode my bike, which has the same hub, and Lipo 44v 8AH. She wants the light weight batteries, but I am concerned about her using LIPO and not being observant enough...

    E-trike for disabled youth

    Jason at E-bikekit.com is located in NJ, and I believe the kit wheels are built in PA. So he would be able to provide assistance and direction for your build. That bike has a 16 inch wheel, so you would have to ask him if you can get that 350W hub built into that wheel. Best of luck.

    E-trike for disabled youth

    I would suggest the 350w geared kit from E-Bikekit.com. It is a very efficient motor, and would provide all the power needed for your daughter. Plus it is a complete kit, and excellent customer service. You do not want to overpower a lightweight child on ebike. Trailmate makes small...

    RideKick Commercial Push Trailer

    The RideKick is manufactured here in Fort Collins. It is a very well made product, and very nice looking. I have had an opportunity to ride one, and was impressed. Smooth ride, and handles well. A couple of the local bike shops are now selling them. I was surprised at the torture and speed...

    New Jersey - When is a bike not a bike?

    That is very true. It is riding like a jerk that can cause problems and repercussions. Even a low powered bike can be ridden improperly. One problem we are seeing is an increase in the number of riders of all types of bikes, and a flaunting of the laws which causes blowback. I live in a...

    New Jersey - When is a bike not a bike?

    This is exactly what is wrong with public perception of ebikes. That thing is a scooter, not an ebike. Having fake useless pedals does not make it a bicycle. Also, I really wish people would stop over powering conventional bikes, and if they do, to not continue to refer to them as Ebikes...

    Lipo Distance

    Your distance depends so much on the type of riding you do, the terrain (hills, etc.) and the motor you use. It can vary wildly. I just returned from a 14 mile pleasure ride, mainly level ground, city traffic. With my 8AH 44v Lipo batteries, I used 3AH. That is with a 350W geared...

    Best reason to get a high powered ebike NOW

    I agree. I would like to see more emphasis on how to build an ebike that is both functional and classy looking, and move away from the overpowered goofy looking monstrosities with duct tape and wires all over. Stealth can be nice looking, and helps Ebikes to blend in with conventional bikes...

    Best reason to get a high powered ebike NOW

    I agree. Many communities, including my own, are starting to limit E-bikes. Part of the problem is the image that powerful souped-up bikes that look homemade are going too fast to take their place alongside conventional bikes. Many of these Rube Golberg creations should be classed as...

    New lipos from Hobbyking!

    .

    that battery You link to a hub only. Why not buy a full 350W kit from E-bikekit,com , or from cellman? That way you will have the proper controller and throttle. Also, that battery is most likely only a few AH, so you would require multiple batteries. I am sure many here could give you...
