off topic but came across this mid drive on a Yuba frame....now if we could put this type of set up on a full suspension frame with a schlumph and a rholoff I belive we would have real practical machine under 100 pounds

Korpin,

1.What are the advantages of using a mid drive?
2.Any disadvantages?

Thanks Tim

well a mid drive allows a hub motor to spin at higher RPMs and use gearing to reduce RPMs for more mechanical advantage great for climbing......a Hinebrink bike with similar set up they said could do 80 mph its the same principle that allows a tiny turbine engine to hold up a helicopter...

the only disadvantage I can think of is more weight and complexity from the gearing but to get the same performance from hub motor you have to go to a bigger hub motor which is more weight (and more power drain)..and no brake regen

At Rodney or Korpin

When you guys installed your Schlumpf high speed drivse on your Phasors, I remember you custom ordered it to fit the Phasor's bottom bracket. Do you guys recall the details on that? I got a guy that contacted me via PM who asked for the component lists I put together a while back, he specifically asked about getting a Schumpf high speed over drive for the Phasor and I cant remember the details. Thanks in advance.

have an usual problem thought someone here might know...my bike will not go over 46 mph...I set CA for 40 amps and did a few high speed runs at the end of day it said max amps was only 25...

on my Lyen controller the phase current amps are set at 100 and rated current amps at 45 and throttle is set at 120%

Korpin what's your maximum C rate discharge of your pack. 40 amps is not high. (40 amps times the voltage and from memory that was 115v which is only 4.6 kilowatt. This isn't enough to get you above 50mph. You need more kilowatt, or try a different type of controller that increases the lead angle. this will only work when the motor is at its maximum motor speed and not wind resistance. My crystalyte controller always seemed to have more top speed than my lyen controller. Your lyen controller has 4115 mossets correct.

BELIEVE ITS 18...another thing I went 47.6 mph on 25 amps.... setting the amps higher on CA seems to make no difference I went 53 MPH on my 90 volt system (with slightly bigger wheels)....my battery tops out a little shy of 118 volts

Just flash it for 45Amps, It is the stock setting on it. I dont really understand why you have so low amps on you setup?
http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18605
CA cannot really control amps(make it higher than the controller is programmed for). it is all up to the controller itself. But CA can limit them!

well the last software I downloaded was set at 45 amps....but even after setting CA to 40 amps the "MAX AMPS" at end up day said 25..will try it again
 
Number one is to check your rshunt value in CA and adjust it correctly for Lyen controller, you could mail him and ask about the correct value. With wrong value the CA will display wrong readings.
Number two is to insure that you use the right software. With some software, when you flash it with 40Amps in real word it would be programmed with lower value. So sometimes you need to flash it with 60 or so. To get to the real 40. Lyen can provide you with the correct info on software.

ok thanks will check with him
 
THIS is what lien said: "Since this is a slow speed/high torque wound motor, I believe you have reached the speed to voltage (RPM per voltage) limit."

however,i have heard of other guys going over 50 mph with 4065 which is torque wound motor
 
You mean Rodney? I think he does get around 50mph on his 90Volts. But he is running adaptto controller.
All I can say is if you want speed and torque it is better to use low wound motor. It will handle the current better and will be fast and you dont have to use crazy high voltage packs - those things are in the past.

Korpin, if I recall correctly, you mentioned a while back that your HPC4065 was specifically Spec'd by HPC for high Voltage. Kind of wondering if your motor has an extra turn on the stator winds? That would also explain why you are not seeing 4-5MPH faster top speeds.
 
NOT SURE RIX...maybe its a compromise between speed and climbing ability it climbs better than my HPC4080

took it out the other day went 53 MPH but had some tailwind....the 4065 DOES climb well can start incline from dead stop as long as I pedal too....seems like 25 amps is what the motor needs AT MAX regardless how high I put CA

sent a pm to Lyen will see what he says

"It should be same as one to one for the 18 FET controller's rated current"... straight from the horses mouth (with keywin software anyway)
 
Decided to move my controller...when HPC replaced their unit (which only goes to 108 volts max) with the Lyen 18 they ran lead wires underneath the frame instead of THROUGH the back port so it looked horrible and got hit on the trail....I removed box from controller and put heat sink directly to frame....

ONE THING I did not think of...the phasor panels partially cover the heat sink area of frame but I will see how it goes

feel more confident going through water now

one thing nice about these Shinko tires....you can ride 'em almost with no air - I have never really filled my tires for the last year or so....used up all my juice bike seemed a little bit harder to pedal than normal had less than 10 pounds in rear tire about 7 in front nice thick sidewalls keep them up!!

yeah if batteries were liquid you could fit a ton in there, but its unfair to think you'd ever get close, and wouldnt be practical. I thought I'd do something a bit more productive and show how many you can likely fit under most normal circumstances.

my criteria is that it has to easily fit in the frame and have room for padding. The following is the best I could find keeping clearances. the tightest fit is the single pack as it just clears into the frame. The also takes into acount the narrowing of the frame as it approaches the headtube.

Ive picked the 18650's for a safer chemestry. This would be run on a cromotor through a mini-e (in the 40-60amp range for what it pulls i believe)


my biggest question in my configurations is how do you charge it? I'm still learning about batteries, especially how to charge the batteries so they remain balanced. So I'm unsure how to go about setting up a charging station (most chargers seem preset to the voltage of the pack you buy). I'm trying to have something that means I never need to take the battery out of the frame.

Most online kits are "heres the battery, and heres the charger that you hook it up to." not sure how to charge if I had custom batteries made.

As you can see the single battery would be easiest, but also offers the least power/range from my custom setups. could someone help me understanding charging multiple batteries in frame?

pack voltages shown are nominal voltages. highest charged voltage is at 88 (staying under the mini-e's limit)

Given that you will use Adaptto controller, the charge thing should be one of you minor concerns.
It has the charge and BMS capabilitys, why even think about another charging solution? That is the beauty of Adaptto, install once and forget for ever, just plug in, charge and ride.


The best way is to make several briks, take 7s in each as an example and then connect 3 of them in series to make 21s just like in your picture. The rest will adaptto take care of, balancing, cut off and charging...all 3 of them at the same time.
 
Allex, makes sense. I think I'm getting it now. I had been thinking about it from the point of view of big batteries with bms installed. but I supposed I can just make 7s 2p packs with balance leads and then make the rats next of balance connectors to attach to the adapto, thats what your suggesting right?

When I had started looking at the hipower 74v 13ah battery I was gonna say screw it and just buy the charger that goes with that battery and forget the adapto's bms

maybe now that I'm looking at custom packs I can start thinking about that again.

how about this. to make it easier to connect to the adapto I could do it like this


4s9p packs, 5 of them, giving me a 20s9p pack. that way easy to hook up to the adapto. the wiring for 6s gets me confused quick. this way can keep it 4s

you may not need all those batteries wingsuit...I have two 52 volt 13 AH batteries in series....I can go 30 miles with climbing and lots of high speed (over 40 mph) runs.....OR I can put them in parallel for slower long distance....

also the weight may become an issue with all those batteries...my bike is around 98 pounds now
