If you have any questions, i've done it in that wheel. I sadly don't run the type of power you do though! I'm 51v and 60a limited.Arlo1 said:
Arlo1 said:Sucsess!Holy man this thing is hard to keep the front wheel down! I never thought it would be that powerfull off the line. As for what I did I installed the new fet then checked out the bord and installed the heatsink and then touched all the fet legs with the soldering iron and relived any stress on them to the heatsink. Then I assembled it and tested it on the bike and it didn't even turn a 1/8 of a rev till pop and it quit again. Then I took the bord out and looked and this time one of the two fets I reused had blown right apart so I pulled it and found the other two from the tree were blown. I was lucky I ordered 10 from ebike.ca and I put three new ones in and jumpered all the triger legs together to make sure if one gets a little bit of a weak signal it will get it from the other two. Then I made sure it worked with out putting it in the case and did it all step by step. So for now I road home and it is realy cool being able to climb hills with cars folowing me and they are get further and further away! I don't have alot of the settings in the CA set yeat I went through it quickly and It dosn't read speed yeat so I need to figure that out it is set for 12 poles but I think I might have missed something.
I am definatly very thank full for guys like you methods! And very thankfull you answer posts on here so fast!
, I'll be waiting for that smoke show Oh its coming! I showed a friend my new toy tonight and one of my stunts was to hover over the front wheel and ride the front brake while doing a rolling smoke show! I just want to get my rear brakes working again and finish up a couple things then I will make a sweet video! I am loving it can't quit gigglingsteveo said:Arlo1 said:Sucsess!

How you liking my motor

No, I think it was the stator design that would not allow delta operation. Using relays to switch it, or hard wiring it is not going to make a difference. The X5 is just not able to operate in Delta mode.Arlo1 said:

Dude I am totaly with you I will be getting an estimate together for what I did shortly. My one friend came to check it out came to my shop and watched me ride it out and ever time I touched the throttle it poped the front up he was then scared to try it out so then he did and come back saying he wants one and he was to afraid to stand up he is a pro bmx racer too! We both decided to let our third friend try it with no warning and see what happens he is the one who is like bla bla bla electric bla bla I like the sound of motors and can't under stand electric bla bla. To funny because the three of us ride Motocross together and I tune all our bikes to have perfact throtle response and it still can't come close to the response of this thing WOW! I am telling the world and will be offering this through my buisness as well as an off road only thing of course :wink:methods said:Isn't it great to see another guy enjoying 24S lipo with effectively no current limit on the baddest ass motor/wheel combo available?
This is why I put the kits together.
Arlo1 is out there changing minds right now.... All his gear head buddies who have been calling him a nerd for building an electric bike are now at home shaking their piggy-banks trying to see if they can build one too! The hardest people to convince are motor-heads.... They have to see it to believe it - but once they do they know it is the shit and they have to have it :wink:
Perfect. One step further in the electric revolution.

Man this thing pulls! OK so tonight i hook up my bbq sensor and ebrake. I have a million questions but the first one is if I set my ca to hi mode and .2500uohms is it close with the shunt you put in the kit methods? I will go through the proceduer and properly calibrate it but it said my Peak amps were 300.8 this morning and I watched it on the go and I figure I can keep the motor cool that way once I am moving it doesn't seem to be to bad full throtle at 40km is ~60 amps have to look again. And PS now that I have the speedo I see that anything under 30 km/h (I was guessing it was 20km/h before) is forced weelies! I can wheely up long hills like nothing! Who wants to send me the next motor 8)
Ok thanks I will try that because 75k on a bmx is not enough. :wink:methods said:

Take Methys advice about the gear. A pair of superbike gloves is the best investment you can make for any activity involving 2 wheels and pavement. Full face helmet is a damn good idea as well. Bike helmets are 90% useless IMO.
I have the same feelings about those who can wheelie, and wanting to be able to do it. I had an mx bike for 4 years before it got stolen from my house this februrary, and I was a good rider, could jump reasonably well, took whoops well too. However, for the life of me, all I could do as far as wheelies go was a power wheelie. It was completely uncontrolled, and I didn't feel comfortable doing it. Something I will master when I get another mx bikemethods said:
.I have broken more bones then I can count incl. my back, my legs, colar bone, skull, ribs, fingers, arm, you name it I have been crosseyed for a month and a half. Being afraid of getting hurt was not my thing. But all my skill came at great price I can predict when the rain is coming and hurt alot but I just shug it off. I got to say though if you want to learn to wheely get a wheel chair I was in one for 6 weeks and I got it down so good I could lock both brakes while up in a wheely and swing my legs to ballance while I ate my supper beside the table! As well I have a honda z50 and when It was still a 50cc engine it was hard to get up to a good weely so I lernt to ballance it very well. Oh and when I lived in edmonton I had a non powered bmx I would wheely at walking speed and use the v brakes for ballance and ride behind people on the sidewalk and pass them as there was openings in the crowd my friends hated me because I would make them all look bad!tostino said:I have the same feelings about those who can wheelie, and wanting to be able to do it.
