    My humble little Gio Demon e-cycle/e-scooter Build/Mod Thread

    It didn't feel sketchy at speed so it seems okay. I have a bottle of Ride-On Sealant/Balancer so I intend to add that to the rear wheel, mostly for the benefit of sealing a future tire puncture but if it also helps the tire balancing, even better.

    Unfortunately I don't have a wattmeter & I'm sure the refresh rate on my voltrmeter isn't good enough but I did get the LoLan bluetooth app working for the battery so it does show realtime voltage, current(a) & power(w) but no datalogging or recording. My battery only charges to less than 82v...

    So the only way would be to take the battery out & apart, (which might confirm what I don't want to know haha). I think I'll tackle that next winter. For now, I'll just give up some speed & not tax the battery as much.

    Thank you for reply amberwolf! I feel like I'm in science class (in a good way) when I read your replies! The seller/manufacturer had told me the battery specs were 3.2v 50ah lifepo4, 24S. I've already reduced MaxLineCurr to 95a. Weather permitting, I will try it out tomorrow.

    Nanjing far driver controllers

    I ordered my nd72680 with both the bluetooth & usb adapter for some redundancy but having bluetooth built-in would have been so sweet.

    Nanjing far driver controllers

    My bike will stay on the paved roads so my main concern is not having the bike bog down too much while in traffic on some of the inclined roads in my area. Mind you not quite San Francisco streets but still enough of an incline to be a concern. At the same time I don't want to over stress the...

    Nanjing far driver controllers

    Question for those with more experience with the fardriver settings. My 3-speed switch works (after swapping some of the pins) I was planning to set the 1st speed with a low 32kph max (in case a non-rider family member wants to try the bike around the block) 2nd speed would be the normal mode...

    Thanks, apparently my hub motor came with the KTY83-122.

    Nanjing far driver controllers

    I got that from someone on the Electric Motorcycle Builds Facebook Page. With a hope & prayer I tried that wire connection & my display works. After endless fiddling, I also got the odometer reading as close as possible & my speedo is now within 1-2kph of gps.

    EV charging setup works great! My onboard charger is rated at 10a for 110v & 20a at 220v. I’m getting a hair over 16a! I’ve heard the max the EV stations will put out through these adapters is around 16a but will throttle that down to only a few amps with most battery chargers that come free...

    Repurposing An Ebike 72v SLA Battery Pack

    Battery cut-off switch arrived so installed that & rewired the cigarette adapter & usb charger to the master switch. Cut up my old DIY wooden bucket dolly & strapped the battery box to it so it’s easier to maneuver around the crowded garage. Added a little front lip so the extra cords &...

    Thanks for the sage words. The dual horns put out 2 different frequencies & does sound closer to a small car horn. It's listed to be 108db. I measured my old horn with a sound app on my phone & that horn was only 85db held an arm's length away. I intend to measure the new horn with the same app.

    3 different charge ports! Here’s the left side of the battery box that has the noco ac port & the J1772 adapter mounted. Also used black bolt/nut/screw covers on all the exposed fasteners so they don’t stand out. There's 1 to the left of the charge ports (one of the onboard charger mounts)...

    Repurposing An Ebike 72v SLA Battery Pack

    Thanks! The gray connector is an Anderson connector. I used that just because that was what I had readily available on hand. I'll use an adapter to connect to the sae wire that my solar panel has. The battery pack will prob stay in the garage. The box is kinda flimsy so I may use some scrap...

    I doubt I'll get a new rim without sending the current rim back. The upcoming riding season would probably be long gone before that whole exchange process was completed. Still waiting to hear back. The 5k motor is wider than the 2k motor but it's the same 3.5" wheel width & the dropout's are...

    Repurposing An Ebike 72v SLA Battery Pack

    So looking through my parts shelves, came across some unused car audio stuff so decided to use it for this. Just need to put some finishing touches on the battery bank. The usb charger & the power inverter have their own power switch but should I hook up a circuit breaker to use as a master...

    Repurposing An Ebike 72v SLA Battery Pack

    Thanks for the reply! My 100w solar panel has a 8.5A charge controller & according to the specs, it'll produce up to 100 W / 5.5 A of power under ideal conditions. I do have a brand new 760w Schumacher inverter that is just collecting dust, so I was thinking of connecting that as well & use it...

    While mounting the hub motor, I couldn’t reuse the zip ties I had on the old hub motor wiring as the new phase wires were double the thickness. The hub motor wire sheathing was orange & sticks out like a sore thumb with my color scheme so covered it up with some wire loom. For better security...

    Swapped over the rear brake rotor & brought the wheel back into the garage. Triple-checked & compared the wiring from the old controller to the new one. Temporarily hooked up some wires before committing to changing a few connectors while trying not to get confused by all the different wire...

    Motor & controller arrived so I was very excited to get into the heart of the upgrade. Once opened up, the box & packaging seemed worse for wear but didn’t give it too much thought as everything seemed okay. First step was to prep the hub motor for a layer of Carpro Dlux. While cleaning &...

    A bit of an overdue update. Good news first, I received most of my ordered parts from multiple overseas vendors. Bad news, some issues with shipping damage & quality control, some resolved & some that I’ll probably have to live with because I don’t want to wait another 6-8 weeks for...

    Repurposing An Ebike 72v SLA Battery Pack

    Now that I’ve replaced my bike’s SLA batteries with a LifePo4 battery pack, I was thinking of repurposing my old batteries as a a big battery bank to charge small electronics; phones, bluetooth speakers, portable usb battery banks, etc. while in the garage. I do have a 100w 12v solar panel with...

    Heads up for anyone with a new fardriver ND72680 controller who can't get their speedo display working on the one-line wire. I got some help off the Facebook electric motorcycle build page. As told, I connected the display wire to the brown (boost) wire from the controller & voila, my display...
